I hated the motorcycle driving in Shenmue 1. The forklift driving was clunky, but felt 'right', and then you got shoved into a motorcycle chase against time. Your only training to that point is in an arcade game... On a similar note I HATE this QTE bullshit!
At least a driving part usually takes some skill and has SOME sort of fun. I'm sick of this button sequence bullshit. It's always a chore, it's never exciting, and it's just a lazy cop out for developers to try to add "depth" to whatever the hell they're adding it to.
I know! There has never been a game where I've enjoyed this. Where I've gone, aw yeah, sick button combo time! Woo~ Oh snap it's random and if I don't press the buttons like lightning the enemy gets half his health back, aw dang yo! No... this is terrible! The whole point of QTE (Quick Time Event) is to demonstrate some crazy action that the character couldn't do normally in gameplay.
There's two flaws to this:
1. The Character Couldn't Do Normally---Why can he/she do it now???
2. You miss the action. The oh-so-awesome action sequence is shadowed by the concentration on the button combo. You don't see anything, except the vague recognition something is going on in the background while you precisely dab at the action buttons.
Other games with this shit-tastic feature: Secret Agent Clank, Star Wars the Force Unleashed, Nightmare Before Christmas 2 Oogie's Revenge, other? I can't think of any off the top of my head; as they're usually forgettable titles. This feature is not a feature, it's just an annoyance.
With the 'out of place' driving section, at least YOU have to get the task done. It might be a slice of something new, but it's still YOU doing it.
