Point! YT confirms there were cutscenes on Liberty Island before.

So maybe it was the first player-controlled viewing of yourself.

The cutscene experience was funny if one happened to have both legs shot—so JC crawls around for hours, then stands up during a cutscene, and afterwards plops down again and proceeds to crawl to completion of the level.

I believe there may have been an unfortunate GEP gun incident where I found that out.

I kinda miss stuff like that.

Sadly, when things break like that now (looking at you, Bethesda) it usually leaves the game in an unplayable state, versus reverting to a known-good state.
