I actually don't mind most of the complaints in the reviews, I can even get past the controls. They're an annoyance but something that doesn't bother me as much as I make it out to be. The graphics, they also aren't nearly as terrible as I've heard they are. There are spots where the game looks decent, there are spots where it's pretty bad looking, but the game isn't that bad.
I think the straw that finally broke the camels back though was just that quick time event. I already hate them but then to 1) have them, 2) being so unforgiving, and 3) not working just made me decide to stop the game.
