"There is a small number of games where it is fun, like, for example, in the Uncharted series, where you don't even realize that you've just finished a QTE sequence. The lead designer noted that QTEs "didn't fit" the experience and often leads to frustration for players. Quick-time events found in previous Witcher games have also been abandoned.
