Who the hell thought of this combat deserves to die... 

Oh man, I love Ghost in the Shell, but i see where you are coming from on PoP.  Instead of making the A.I. more intelligent, they just exponentially up the amount of QTEs.  I wish they had brought the combat system from Sands of Time back, at the very least. 

QTE's are very easy. I don't like them very much but I think they worked well in PoP. The game was nice and relaxing, like flower.

The combat in Sands Of Time was terrible, IMO. I like the new combat much more.....fighting the Hunter is fun as hell.

Honestly, I kind of agree with this post.

I realize a lot of people think it changed for the better but I find the combat to be incredibly repetitive, frustrating, and not fun at all. Also, the acrobatics seem to move weirdly slow.

I do not have the will to finish this game.

It's not better or worse. It is just different. As long as the mechanics work it is just fine.

Your opinion angers me...

"Your opinion angers me..."

I don't agree with the OPs reasoning, but I have to more or less agree with the title. I sang the game's praises at first, but I'm roughly halfway through now, and I can find absolutely no motivation for continuing. The story has become stagnant, the gameplay is absolutely pointless, and I've had to force myself to continue playing. I don't mind a game being easy or streamlining a death penalty (especially if it does it well), but the ridiculously tedious and boring combat sequences, the lack of any compelling or interesting puzzles, and the fact that the characters have not done anything besides sit there and trade witticisms for 5 hours now makes for one seriously disappointing package out of Ubisoft Montreal yet again. Two swings, two strikes. Far Cry 2 and Prince of Persia just weren't ready for release.

Everything Jayge said is correct

Prince of Qucktime Events: No Repercussions blew goats. Typical Ubisoft, have something going for an IP then fuck it up ie. Ghost Recon & Rainbow Six.

I liked the game. Alot.
