I never understood why I didn't like these games until I discovered the term 'pushing buttons to make rainbows.'

This describes the feeling that lots of things are happening on screen even though you only pushed one button. So many things happen on rails with quick-time events that I never feel like I have direct control over the character. The vibe of the game is much too bro-ey for me too. All around embodies most of the things I dislike about AAA games.
