And yet they have testers that play the game till they totally sick, and then they write full articles about what they have tested. I know that is only for bugs in the code, but they could implement the same sort of thing to get rid of these pathetic cliches.

Hey i like my QTE's

I dont have a problem with QTE's (Essentially QTE's are Dramatic Interactive cinematic sequences in games) Reasons why devs sometimes add QTE's to games is to add a cinematic flair to the gameplay (IE Shenmue, Tomb Raider Legend) , and not because of Lazyness.
