QTE's can be stupid and unnecessary, but they aren't always bad.
Name some games that you think use quick time events the right way.
I'd to go with Dead Space, Tomb Raider 2013, and Kingdom Hearts.

God of War would be the master of brutal QTE boss finishers. Which is why it's mind boggling that 1886 failed so horribly when you consider that Ready at Dawn created the God of Games on the PSP.
