Even though the QTE's are optional, the combat is still pretty bad. It could've been when you damage an enemy enough, you can hold one trigger of both, and push a face button to execute a finishing move which would give you 8 total finishing moves. Or, when they are damaged enough, you can press B to grab them and push a face button to execute a finishing move. That's how I would of preferred it.

They are so optional the move happens anyway, it takes any sort of skill of a QTE out of the game. It is a QTE where there is no punishment for missing the button, how unbelivably stupid is that!

They are optonal... You don't have to initiate the QTE, you can keep pressing the action button to kill them. But you are right, once you go into the QTE, you can't die.

I don't mind that kind of system but it can't happen for every enemy that you kill. The slomo/optional QTE needs to be earned through some mechanic. That will make the QTE less irritating and more spectacular since it happens rarely and could possibly assist with more challenging sections.
