I think Heavy Rain could almost be considered an interactive movie rather than a game. You are not alone Aaron, Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation fame has an outright vendetta against them. I do not mind them as long as they are not the "hit X to not die" variety.

I can't really think of any instances where i've heard people praise them. you know, for as many people, including myself, who dislike QTE’s, it’s a wonder they keep being used by developers.
