    Why is it all modern games make you mash a key or mouse button during a cut-scene?

    What value does it bring?

    Modern games? It's been around since Dragon's Lair, the whole game was built on it. But if you want to blame one game blame Shenmue.

    I think, if done right, really enchances a game. Like, needing to press a button in the middle of a cut scene and you not expecting it, especially if it affects the outcome properly.

    I love how failing that QTE gives you a "You are dead" screen, hilarious.
