      I should temper all of this by saying the "press A to do what you want" parts are awesome (with a QTE, you have to mash a button to do something you didn't know you had to do; with this, you see the potential outcome mocked up on front of you, to which you mentally respond, "Hell yeah, do THAT!", and Elizabeth summons it in; brilliant execution of player feedback, which is a good part of what makes games fun). The scenery's very nice, and the weapons look like they have a decent kick while having understandable caveats (key phrase: UNDERSTANDABLE caveats. It's exasperating when a weapon's limitations aren't easy to divine within the first few seconds of use, especially if you're in a system where there's not enough ammo for that weapon, or you might have to switch away from it, especially in two-weapon games).
