I personally couldn't make it past the "no object permanence" issue, where NPC's would just spawn into and out of existence depending on where the camera was pointing. It was like a magician brought a clear cloth to the table to perform a trick, and we could see how the trick was performed the entire time. It doesn't make his performance less impressive, but it sure would make it less immersive.

I mean, nearly every 3d game doesn't render what the player isn't looking at. CP77 just did it poorly lol

Not rendering != despawn entities and respawn entirely new entities every time your camera changes direction. They also advertised it as NPC's each having their own unique routines, etc. Talk about overpromising and underdelivering. This broke immersion too much for me to play the game. The second I hit the city and saw how NPC's were handled, I was done. It's unfortunate, because I thought the map design, sound, graphics, and gunplay all seemed really good.
