The 8 buck thing sounds like one of those examples of overpriced DLC to me. Funny coincidence.

Anyway, Shadow of Mordor was actually the motivation for this question. All that fighting, training, upgrading, and EPIC buildup...only to end it with a quick-time event. I was SO...just...annoyed. An amazing game like that deserved better than that. I don't even think it would have been hard to make it an actual fight. A straight-up slugfest would've worked for me. It worked in Twilight Princess...why not this game, where the combat is super intense?

But I think quick-time events in general are dumb, because not only do they take you out of the game, they pose a ridiculous kind of challenge. You don't prove your skill at the game, you prove your skill at pushing buttons at specific moments.
