The reason why it's tedious is because the map is built around cars. You can't go very far without encountering a road. This makes it fairly hostile to be a pedestrian since you're relegated to walking on sidewalks (or in front of traffic if you're daring).
A city built around pedestrians could have a much different environment, like open green spaces, cobblestone paths, proactive NPCs engaging in little dialogues with shopkeepers, people trying to sell you stuff on the streets, etc. A real "night out on the city" vibe that I don't think any city-style game has tried going for yet.
- brohee 6y agoThe Watch_dogs franchise is IMHO the one that does the living modern city the best...
- cercatrova 6y agoThe Yakuza games are just like that. There aren't any cars, it's just a city for walking around. Unlike CP2077, the NPCs are actually believable in that you can talk to them, go into stores and interact with them, they respond naturally when fighting is going on, etc.
