Why do I have to hold a button for basically every action I want to do?

[Arthur Morrigan]

Why can I not just press the button and Max do the thing? Why was it necessary to make nearly every action in the game require holding a button? It makes everything feel so slow and unresponsive.

real annoying, not sure why we cant just get in the car ♥♥♥♥ every other game made, really needs a patch for this.

Because your playing a game that was primarily designed for console gamers.

The only annoying things for me is the times you gotto click multiple times fast to get things done. I was fine holding a button down, but suddenly you gotto spam that key. Didn't make sense no matter how easy it was to do :)

What difference would that make. Most console games don't require you to hold a button for everything.

Imagine if every jump in mario we had to hold the button, its just crap game design, An example of how many devs are just out of touch with what a controller is or what their used for. They probably dont even have controllers in that country where this is made which is sad, we could have sent them controllers if they needed them :( Be better than imagining what they look like or how they work.

Actually, it is a good idea to have to hold the button. Otherwise it could be like Witcher 3 pre-patch....The candles.....Very irritating.

Think it was Sweden where its made? Not 100% but maybe whatever country it was they dont have controllers hence the broken button usage where we hold it instead of just hitting it.

Why is it some people piss and moan about the tiniest of matters?

Why on earth wouldn't they have controllers in Sweden?

It's a console thing mostly so that you don't do something by accident.
Has to do with the fact that gamepads have limited functionality and thus you need multipurpose buttons.

It doesn't get rid of the issue completely though. I had a melee brawl around my vehicle and wanted to do a shiv finisher on a guy who was behind Magnum Opus. I pressed A and Max went for the gas canister in the back of the car instead. Needless to say I got my a** handed to me.

ahhhh yea that makes sense, if it was hit Y then when countering near the car Max would get in which would be annoying. whew it all makes sense now!! thanks for making those points was a big peev until reading that. :D

no problem.

it's not even a big issue in Mad Max. See cover-based shooters like Gears of War where A is binded to action, sprint, vault over cover and stick to cover at the same time :)

Why is it some people can't handle anyone criticizing a game whatsoever?

Couldn't this be solved by giving certain actions priority in certain situations. They wasted an entire button on a borderline completely functionally useless jump.
