The inexplicable save scenario has been used in pretty much every action/adventure movie, book and video game ever made.
Bomb goes off in bad guys face but somehow he's limping down the street half an hour later. Good guy is pushed from a window only to land in truck full of hay that is conveniently passing by. Good guy is outnumbered 20 to 1 by bad guys when his friends show up out of nowhere and save his life.
I think the mortally wounded hero saved by wandering villager is in the Big Book of Ways to Explain Survival. It's right up there with "It was all a dream". :)
I started all three games didn't get around to finishing any of them. U3 lost me by opening with that QTE fighting scene. That was all I needed to see. Thankfully I didn't have to pay for that one.
