love how MSGM reviewers will list like a dozen basic fundamental things wrong with a game that show a lack of effort on the part of a developer but will still excuse it saying they’ll fix those problems 6 months to a year later and give it a 9.5 out of 10 because “the staff worked so hard for so long”.


This has been my point from the beginning.

The really bad cop AI is an inexcusable basic game feature that's completely missing from the game. How can you develop a game coming up to a decade and not have something so basic?

And then people excuse them because it'll get fixed in a year.

It all comes down to are you having fun.

I'm 120 hours in and not even remotely close to finishing the game. I'm having fun. The game was overly ambitious and they fricked people with consoles.

I'll easily sink 200 hours in the game and be thoroughly happy with the experience.

I don't care about the cop AI because it is actually pretty easy to do everything you need to do without ever pissing the cops off. Heck, now that I know how to play, the only times I piss the cops off are when I am driving too fast and smash into a pedestrian.

I love the game. Will it be in my top 10 ever games? Nope. It is nothing more than a GTA clone with much better graphics and atmosphere but at the end of the day it isn't genre bending or game changing. It is a fun graphical glitched game.

The scope was simply too big. The city is insanely large and I don't notice any loading screens or zoning in and out while driving which means it absolutely devours resources that don't exist in last gen consoles.

The publishers were absolute thieves pushing the game out to consoles and BLOCKING any footage of consoles being released before the game release date. They knew the consoles were shite, they hid it and I have no problem with them being eviscerated for their deception.

In summary, they bit off more than they could chew and covered it up. I'm hoping for an Engoodening of No Man's Sky scenario but I don't need it . I'll finish having enjoyed the game. I just hope down the line when I want to play again in a year, they will have actually fine tuned the AI and fixed the bugs. Only time will tell if they are willing to keep working or if they take the money and run.
