I should not need to explain this one.

What I never wanna see again is a game having me hold a button instead of pressing it, for literally anything
Topical example would be apace marine 2
Toggle sprint, hold zoom, please and thank you
Holding it is better than pressing it 10,000x as fast as you can. That shit is fun when you're 12. Not so much when you're twice that age.
I'm positive I couldnt beat Metal Gear Solid 4 again 16 years later. One of the final sequences involves what felt like a 15 minute button mashing section that took extremely in shape 20 somthing me to my limit. My fucking forearms cramped like a really bad period
Most games these days have a setting in the accessibility settings section to change tapping to holding, and that's always one of the first things I check.
This is about normal things like picking up an item, not a QTE. It feels horrible and a pretty big time waster.
They said "for literally anything" but yes, holding a button to pick something up gets annoying.
My god no man's sky before they finally added the option was a nightmare.
Omg I had no idea you could disable it thank you!
Glad I could be of help lol.
God yes. It makes everything feel unresponsive and less snappy.
