It troubles my mind when people talk as if TLOU and Uncharted are similar to Until Dawn or Heavy Rain, because they are not. Naughty Dog's games have cinmatic moments, but are not interactive cinematic games by a long shot.

I don't understand why people think the word cinematic has negative connotations. Uncharted can easily be described as cinematic and that is probably the best quality of it. Still the word cinematic is quite useless as evidenced by the disagreement of what the word means.

I don't know what the definition of cinematic games is anymore. Anything with a plot line or even just being compatible with ultra wide monitors? http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/6-best-cinematic-games-top-titles-for-your-ultra-wide-monitor-1324687 Apparently Dirt Rally and Rocket league are cinematic games.

Pretty much this. The word is useless to use in discussion, as everyone will have different understanding of what it means.
