Bah I don't see whats "fun" about pressing the same button combos over and over until whatever you're attacking is dead...

You must be playing God of War on Easy. Try pressing the same buttons on Hard Mode or even better, God Mode and see how far you get button mashing.

 

It's still the same crap you button press roll to dodge, button press, magic, etc it's just so boring...

 Then I guess you can catagorize Mario as just pressing the jump button over and over and over and over and over again.  I guess that game is just to boring and has flopped for 20 years now.

 Mario is a totally different genre... Mario is about platforming, you're actually fighting the stage itself and not the enemies, the enemies are there to add extra obsticles to get in your way, an action game should be more about intelligent fighting, while platforming should be more about intelligent level design, so no you can't compare button mashing in an action game to jumping in a platformer, cause button mashing in a action game means the devs didn't care to put enough thought into the fighting so you wouldn't be able to button mash to win (on any difficulty).  Platforming is all about getting to the end of the stage or exploring to achieve an objective, and how the stage is built to keep you from doing so is how you judge that game, any way you can't button mash in Mario when you have to time jumps and attacks.
