I don't know if I can go through another scripted ND game. When I got to the end of UC2 I should be rushing out to get UC3, but its been 2 months since I finished it and I have yet to pick it up, even with ample opportunity. Im worried that it looks to be even more bits where Im not doing anything with my controller yet my character is moving then all of a sudden I get control back.

I'll definitely give it a shot, but why don't ND let me choose to dodge and flinch from the fire bomb thrown instead of script it?

UC1 was still my Fave ND game yet because of the detachment cinematic feel road they have gone down.

Watchdogs for example is imo how Last Of us should be done. Cinematic yet still having 100% control.

Those who play ND's games are looking for those types of experiences, or they shouldn't play them. I don't want Watch Dog-like features in The Last Of Us, nor for it to be more like Watch Dogs. I want to play it the way the developer envisioned it to be played.

It's a cinematic experience and I'm glad it exists. If I want to play something with more "game-play", I'll look for it elsewhere. 

TBH I think I needed a slightly longer hiatus between UC2 and UC3. I definitely enjoyed playing UC3 much more second time around (to get the crushing trophy) after I'd put it away for a number of months. I probably would have really enjoyed my first play through iuf I'd bougth the game 3-6 months after release instead of day 1.

Although I had a similar, though to a much lower degree, reaction to Mass Effect 3, and I was fine wtih the ending so it wasn't that.  For me ME2 was pure win, whereas Mass Effect 3 was cool, but been there done that with ME2 for the most part. So UC is hardly unique as a game series where the awesomenss factor falls away a tad.

However I can't really relate to selnor's critique about passively watching some of the awesome cinematics in UC2. I thought it blended and balanced very well and was highly satisfying.
