In fairness, I hated rdr2 and don't really like the gta games because they're a bit too much "violent life simulator" vs "game" for me.

As such, the only thing I hated about CP2077 was the bugs, crashes, and balance issues. Admittedly, I loved how cheap I got it because I bought it during the early reputation crash. It was unplayable for a few weeks, but for $17? Damn.

Yeah for $17 it'd be an absolute steal, assuming it's playable. Iirc it didn't crash once for me, just there were sooooo many ridiculous graphical bugs, and so many systems just felt half-arsed or unfinished. Some notable examples for me:

  • looking out over the city from a high point, zooming in on the traffic and finding out they're sprites

  • no real police / law system, you could have your back to a wall and they'd somehow teleport behind you

  • on my first cyberpsycho case, as the "Thanks for work, I'll take it from here" call didn't trigger until leaving the area, I was unsure of what to do with the knocked-out psycho, so I carried them to the trunk of my car. Well, the game did not account for my idiocy and there were, let's just say, interesting spaghettification results when I drove away

  • the autodrive when calling your car often had hilarious or strange results

I could not complete CP2077 when I first put it in my PS4, but I bought it expecting that. I had a little knockaround fun in the early game and then put it aside until a big patch or two. It did, however, crash at least 1-2x per hour on me the entire first playthrough. By the time I played through a second time, it was down to 1 crash in 5 hours.

And yeah, I noticed some of the other bullet-points as well :)

Those are features XD. You are in the future world so teleporting is possible. Maybe some traffic is just holograms? /jk

[–] Transcendant 1 points 11 months ago

According to the holographic principle, our entire 3d universe is a projection of a 4d space, so really the traffic is more realistic than other games!

You're telling me CP2077 is not violent? Have you seen how gory it can get? Have we played different games? Because this game is brutal from my experience.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

No, really I'm not. I'm saying "violent life simulator" as a holistic explanation of what rdr2 and gta is. One thing I always loved about some other games like CP2077 and the tES games is that they're much more forgiving in many ways, instead avoiding mapping on just "realism".
