the bogey bossfight

[ScrubCompactor]

greetings ladies and gents, just picked this game up yesterday and i'm having a blast with it, especially now that i fixed the problem of my FPS by doing the fix involving the nvidia control panel. now i am at a different predicament.

as you guys know, the bogey will at a certain point in the fight(typically after i've brought him down to half of his HP) fly to you(or at least attempt to) and force you into a quick time event where it seems as though even if i were to mash the E key he will still kill you outright. i have made quite a few attempts already and i am rather frustrated with the fight. i already know everything else(shoot the EMPs down, stay away from the nades, etc.), but is there really any preventing the QTE from murdering me when it pops up?

I believe others are having issues playing with the keyboard and mouse. Until they patch it, just play with a controller.

thing is i could do the argus bot QTEs just fine on the merit of them being a "tap it once and you're good", but this power armored russian's being a mash it or die QTE is is what's giving me trouble.

Bogey fight has QTE? The 2 times I fought him I've never had a QTE happening, unless it's absolutely scripted like the ending, you can just keep dodge rolling around him and keep AR shooting him

I think those QTE fights are avoidable as long as you dodge out of his charge attack that will initiate the QTE, that or I'm remembering wrong and I'm an idiot as I just beat the game =(

What I do is I time his charge, and just roll towards him, he'll not make contact and you'll take no damage, after that just boost away

Haven't tried it but, what if you just hold the E key down. Thinking about it, they would have to nerf the input otherwise it would be too easy (no need to button mash).

I've tried holding down E the first time I saw it, as I played on the controller years before and I wasn't sure how to act so I held it down, didn't work and I died

[vctls]

Just died three times in a row because of this QTE. No matter how fast I press E, I get killed.
I couldn't do the Argus QTE either. Very frustrating.

I'm using a custom keyboard layout. Not sure if this is relevant.

[vctls]

Well, that was it for me.
Had to press the keys according to their usual placement on a qwerty layout.

[vctls]

Well, it didn't work out quite as I expected. For some reason, that worked for this fight in particular, and not for the first Argus fight. Srsly, wtf?

Mash E

[vctls]

Had the same issue later in the game against the Vipers. Had to press P instead of E. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Again, that might be due to my keyboard layout. Still doesn't make sense.

I am also having issues with the bogue boss fight and can't get past the QTE.
