I hate "QUICK PRESS THIS BUTTON!" games.

I dare anyone to call the knife fight in RE4 an insult to their intelligence without lying to themselves in the process.

I don't want to be watching a cutscene and pressing buttons, I want to be in the scene, controlling my character and participating in the battle.

In a normal cutscene, you aren't controlling the character or participating in the battle at all.   So you actually get more interactivity here than just by watching it.  If you mean you prefer a standard battle, I can accept that and recall that 99% of all battle sin the game took place using the standard combat engine or the specialized boss combat settings.

For those with reflexes that don't handle the game mechanic well, my apologies you had to endure it....but that doesn't make it a bad gameplay mechanic itself.
