Gaming is now flooded with braindead skinner-box open world slop, handholdy moviegames, or lazy le quirky indie asset flips with garbage mechanics and design.

      It's an useful metric. It shows whenever within 5 minutes you will experience small stimulating adventure with multiple mechanics or you will just hold forward entire time until you reach next point of interest or shut the game off from boredom.

              a) mashing is not a relevant skill for anything besides party games.
              b) mashing is not a fun or enjoyable game mechanic for vast majority of players.
              c) mashing is awful for your hand, your wrist, and your input device.
              d) mashing is exhausting especially for longer sessions.
              e) mashing is less viable on controller and keyboard compared to a stick/cabinet.
              f) vast majority of games have fire rate caps well beyond human levels (15Hz, 20Hz, 30Hz).
              g) many games feature shot limits which are only relevant at speeds which can only realistically be achieved with autofire. getting in close proximity to an enemy allows you to pointblank them, leading to risk/reward gameplay.
              h) many Japanese cabinets even in the mid-late 80s had autofire circuits and developers knew this (attract screens would feature inhuman levels of autofire). Also, PCE (shmup-heavy platform) and NES Advantage had built-in autofire in the mid 80s
              i) autofire is the Japanese standard (and has been for many decades) adopted by vast overwhelming majority of the Japanese arcade/shmup scene, and even a large majority of western players.
              j) emulation, along with almost all future ports, support autofire.
              k) autofire creates consistency across runs and consistency within competition.
              l) autofire is openly stated when a run is recorded, and mashing scores are separated.
              m) mashing is an unfortunate relic of the western arcade scene. western arcade gaming was viewed as a mindless quarter muncher and featured stand-up cabinets, low-quality sticks and buttons, button mashing gameplay, non-default dip switches, and oftentimes neutered/unbalanced western ports. In comparison, Japanese arcade gaming was viewed as an art-form and a display of mastery with sit-down candy cabinets, high-quality sticks and buttons, autofire circuits (many with dials for different autofire rates), default dip switches, and the authentic Japanese version the developers intended.

              games have split leaderboards for autofire on vs. off, but autofire has pretty much been the standard since the late 80s/early 90s even in games that predated autofire.

              If someone cries that autofire is cheating you can rest assured they are a moron who has zero clears
