Press E

[Mnemonic]

Busted.

In handcuffs, jumping over a fence to catch a kid.

On the way down an action is flashing "E", as in press "e".

I've pressed it.
I've smashed it.
I've held it down.

Fall fall fall fall fall fall fall

What the f you want from me?

These are called QTE's, which stands for Quick Time Event. They are all about timing the button press correctly, which can be an issue if your reflexes are simply not fast enough. You also have to understand the visual cues in order to press the key at the precise moment when the brief window for it is open.

You can go into the accessibility options of the game and set the QTE's to auto-win. I did that too because I'm a bit impaired and in this game the QTE's are too hard for me.

Goto - Settings - Then pick Accessibility and the 9th one down is the setting called
Auto-Win Quick Time Events.

That should fix this and any future issues you have with this.

I had similar issues during that segment. If it's "E" surrounded by circles, one shrinking, wait until it enters the thicker circle, then it should go green or something, at which point you hit E.

Could use a bit more of a tutorial on some of these, it isn't exactly intuitive.

There'll be some other moments that introduce new QTE mechanics down the road. I've had to replay a few a handful of times before I worked it out.

Normally I'm not that thick-headed, but yeah, it dumps a lot of flashing, blinking, moving things on you all at once, all while timed, so can get a bit confusing.

If it's not that specific QTE, sorry, game has a lot of variations of them. Can try the options mentioned in the above posts.

Took me 10 attempts today then read online that (as someone above has mentioned) you need to wait for it to go green on that first "E" one - that worked.

I turned the QTEs off via the accessibility options and I have no regrets. I guess I didn't understand what timing they wanted on press E, and I don't really care for it.
