My issues with the series had a lot more to do with the world seeming "dead" to me more than any sort of camera or gun control issues.
Namely, can I actually talk to people and interact with them in any way other than hitting them with stuff? Is there an actual civilization there or a dead city with people driving in circles for no apparent reason, never leaving their vehicles, and people just sort of marching around with no purpose? Can I go inside buildings this time, maybe crash through a window and interrupt a family dinner, or is it still the case that the vast majority of buildings are solid blocks of concrete with no way to go inside?
I may have freedom to "do whatever I want", but the things I actually want to do aren't really available in these games.
For my part, I much prefer a game like Oblivion.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
