I'm on PC. It has some problems but so far I haven't ran into anything that's game breaking. I thoroughly like the game and I don't say that lightly because I'm a fickle gamer, I'm hard to please, but this game has definitely garnered my attention.

This reads like a paid advertisement.

Cops spawning in closets and shite is definitely game breaking and that's just one issue with the game.

Yes I think the cop system is like many other systems in the game: It's a placeholder for something better that never got implemented.

The game feels very unfinished and unpolished in general with how lacking it is in basic features and how half baked lots of stuff in the game is.

It begs the question, what have they been doing for 8 years?

Cop AI should be a basic game mechanic for a game like this. It doesn't make sense.

Glad I didn’t open it yet, I don’t even want to play it on ps5 now. I’ll be returning it and will pick it up next year after the issues are worked out

If I had to guess, they didn't "work" 8 years on it, and they were creating place holders for various things banking on the next generation of machines being able to handle it thinking they'd have access earlier than they did.

I'm assuming they thought it would be easier than it ended up being to code certain things, and the shareholders were getting pissed that it was taking so damn long, so they released a game that wasn't really fit to be released at all.

Look up the Angry Joe video on it. It has some minor spoilers I guess, but he really tears into them for the glitches.

It’s like I said earlier, it’s a placeholder. The system they wanted to implement wasn’t polished in time so they just threw this shitty one in for now

I’m not saying it is, just want to clarify that it’s not like they wanted that to be their police system .

AAA games are getting shittier and shittier and will continue to get worse because of how expensive it is to make games

And with the development time being so long, they are either planning for future tech to arrive and get fricked when it doesn’t, or they’re stuck using constraints that are, in the digital realm, akin to forcing a transportation company to use horse and buggy.

When the Red Dead Redemption II credits rolled they lasted like 20 minutes and included thousands upon thousands of people. It's staggering the amount of man hours and effort that has to go into creating something like that.

It's also rather absurd too. They spend so much time on shite that doesn't even matter. There's too much ego involved.

There's supposed to be people who push back on things that are too costly or complex. There's a famous saying that a project will almost always expand to consume any and all resources that are available to it.

I said in another thread at this point they want to create something magnificent for magnificence's sake. It's like making an enjoyable video game is a secondary thing to them.

Between corporate suits making the big decisions and game designers who just want to smell their own farts, triple A gaming is in a very bad place. I long for the days of when games were made by gamers for gamers for gaming's sake.

Major flop imo. Waited 5+ years for this piece of shite. Waiting for the “next gen” version to give it another go.

So do multiple studios owned or soon to be owned by Microsoft.

True, but the studios behind every Elder Scrolls and Fallout game could handle it just as well.
