Yeah, it's this huge window of timing that bugs me the most about PoP. I understand and have even learned to appreciate the whole no dying thing. But the fact that i don't have to get the timing right at all in order to do the platforming destroys most of the challenge and the fun for me.
If i am wall/ceiling running towards a ring i can press the button for swinging past the ring at any point in my run. that just makes no sense to me. if i am shooting around with elika on the magic plates i don't even need to pay attention to the acrobatics needed to reach the next one. i can essentially take my hands off the controller while i hit the wall near the next plate, wall run automatically towards it and as long as i have pressed y again at some point in there i will successfully shoot off to the next plate.
at the very least there should be a difficulty setting that puts the challenge of correct timing back in place.
PoP is way too easy, but it has nothing to do with the fact that you can't die.
