Console skill checks need a fix

I'm getting sick and tired of missing otherwise easy skill checks because of how poorly responsive the skill checks (and other inputs) are in the console version. Frame drops and lag defines these ports. You know those hArD SkIlL cHeCkS you get when DS comes up? Play on console and you'll actually miss them, by no fault of your own 99% of the time. It almost makes me wonder why DS is skill check-based at all, but that's a conversation for another day. And that's just DS. Can you imagine how much harder it is to hit an Overcharge/Unnerving skill check? It's possible on PC but on console, good luck.

What is so game breaking about terrible console skill checks is that you have to hit them preemptively or later because of how laggy they are. They're so bad, they make me not want to play my favorite game anymore.

This is not a discussion about me being bad at skill checks. It's about the unoptimized console port being a handicap to new and experienced players alike.
