Shouldn't have even mentioned that name, this is what i figured would happen.

It was not. Not in the slightest. One of the arguments 2k people (see how i talk about them as a separate group of people? how i'm not including myself in that group?) made was that the game was more organic and less scripted. I haven't bought a 2k game since i owned a Dreamcast and i didn't have much of a choice in the matter. Let's not even mention that company's name again.
