L game with a new ♥♥♥♥♥♥ launcher that takes 5 hours to install a battlefield clone instead of just using steam servers

also no refunds to original purchasers even after this flop of a game went f2p

main story good, "open world" features bad

braindance tapes useless aside from main story ones, non-functional clubs/food vendors, pedestrians do nothing except tell you to ♥♥♥♥ off or miraculously get hit by your car when you're 3 feet away from them, ai cars are on rails, car physics are done with low quality raycasting so there's no real suspension or anything, "police chases" entail about 3 ai cops spawning 5 feet IN FRONT of you because there's no car ai, not to mention how unplayable this game is without dlss at 1440p. the game also somehow manages to 100% max out my i7-6700k while in the city, with its impressive ai constantly telling me to ♥♥♥♥ off. my cpu is relatively old, but the fact that the cars are literally on rails and the pedestrians have no real coding, the performance makes zero sense. also 75% of the times that i launched the game, the performance decreased by about 40% after a few hours, 95-100 fps at 1440p down to 50 fps for literally no reason. ram usage is normal, same with cpu, game just slowly runs worse over time. there were only 2 times that i had truly game breaking bugs where i had to restart: early in the game jackie got locked behind a door so i couldn't talk to him to continue, and in the last missions i offed multiple guards and 2 didn't count as dead, even though they were laying on the ground and lootable, so i had to restart the entire mission to continue. outside of those, i had a few cutscenes with missing dialogue, jackie walked straight through a wall, and one t-pose npc in freeroam.

while this game has a lot of ♥♥♥♥ wrong with it, it's still a great game. the hype is what's really killing it, because the fact that it was hyped so hard amplifies how bad some of the bugs are. it should honestly be labeled early access because it's pretty obvious that it is. cut/unfinished content and awful optimization, i have no idea how anyone with a non-rtx card could even run this game since they don't have dlss. but if you have a very beefy pc, this game is worth it, otherwise just wait for a lot more optimization patches.
