Current Events > REMINDER: Cyberpunk 2077 launched with the worst AI in modern open world gaming.

(+) Yeah! (+)

* No NPC Day/Night cycle. NPCs spawn and despawn outside of the player's view.

* If an NPC is doing an action, they will do that action forever until the player moves.

* NPCs that are not story/side quest related have one dialog reply.

* If one NPC is assaulted, every other NPC in a large circle around the player will crouch to the floor in the same animation, even if they did not see the original assault.

* NPCs in a car will follow a specific route. If the route is even slightly interupted, for example by your car, they will cease to move forever until you remove the obstruction.

* NPCs in a car will not attempt to move or exit their vehicle if you assault them with bullets/another vehicle.

* NPCs will not acknowledge the player if they run the player over with their car.

* NPCs will not attempt to steal their vehicle back if you steal it from them.

* NPCs will not attack you or defend themselves in any way or form, even if engaged upon with just fists.

* Police spawn around the player's vision when the player is wanted, forever, until they attempt to hide or drive away.

* Police to not attempt to question, warn, or arrest the player for even the smallest crime commited, for example if you bump into them or accidently enter a private area.

* Police are incapable of driving cars and chasing the player if they drive away.

* Police will not attack hostile targets like Gangs if they are not already doing so in an activity.

* Police will know if the player has attacked an NPC in the middle of the badlands and spawn next to the player, without vehicles.

* NPCs will rarely thank or acknowledge the player if they are helped by the player.

* Scripted NPCs that have dialog will say their dialog then proceed to stand there forever. They will also repeat the same dialog if the player leaves the area and visits again later.

The majority of these things have never been fixed.

Whatever. It's a good game now.

I don't think they fixed all those issues

People calling CDPR the greatest developers ever after playing one game and then completely turning on them like rabid dogs after one buggy game is just... god, I don't even know what it is.

I mean no. It went from funny bugs to soulless world

nah

Witcha 4 will make everything better.

It was a stupidly ambitious task considering The Witcher 3 barely had any non-combat NPC AI. Most just stood around like geometry, repeating the same lines like soundboards.

They put more effort into characters' fingernail lighting than they did actual AI.

Lol

I'm playing it for the first time now and I am enjoying it quite a bit.

Oddly enough, I don't give a fuck about NPC's as they are just window dressing to the actual game.

i never understood the need for this. Beths games are fucking annoying for this. Oh the shop keeper is closed at night! let me just wait in the same spot for 9 hours until they are open again or break in and wake them up.

both break immersion for me.

Define "modern", like in the last 5 years, 10?

This just sounds like a mix of elder scrolls and gta stuff.

Lol no it's not.

The game is medicore at its core, way past just the technical issues.
