Although allowing camera controls and replacing the broken block pushing with more fighting might move it up to tolerable, QTE-riffic boss fights are still only marginally less painful than boss fights where there's only one way to win and it is secret.<br />And this is by the monumental retards who made Dead Space, which is a sure sign of shit even if it was based on the best fucking game ever.Andrew Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423087160541542219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2616652632706177489.post-37238771038304007612009-11-13T14:02:33.181-08:002009-11-13T14:02:33.181-08:00Yes, I suspect that is a rather safe assumption.
