Going back to GTA V made realize how shallow is Night City compared to Los Santos.
Cyberpunk 2077 was my most anticipated games since a long time and when it came out I enjoyed it but the amount of disappointment between many gamers was hard to miss. I tried to look the other way when people where pointing out all the flaws about Night City. From the non-existen AI on NPCs to how Night City was another Ubisoft open world game.
So I went back to GTA V about two days ago and I can't believe how superior is Los Santos to Night City in every way.
Night City looks amazing but that's it. There is no depth to the city. All the districts look the same sans the bad guys. The city just feels there.
Los Santos IS the game. Every neighborhood feels like a real neighborhood. For example. I went to east Los Santos and got out my car in the middle of an intersection and this is what I saw.
-Most of the small stores are Mexicans since this is a predominantly Mexican neighborhood.
-NPCs having a real conversation in Spanish
-NPCs driving cars blasting Mexican music
I noticed all of that in like 1 minute.
Every neighborhood has their own nuances. Venice Beach is packed all day long and is empty by the night. North Los Santos is empty by the morning but is packed by night(that's were most of the night clubs are). South Los Santos gets dangerous by night; It's no uncommon to see police chases and shootings at night.
And there are all the little details; you see a billboard advertising a product or something and you can go online and learn about it! You can blow up a truck from any company and watch their stocks go down. You can listen to the radio and Tv and learn more about Los Santos tru commercials and ads.
I can go on and on about all the little detail but the game made realize that Cyberpunk 2077's open world can't even compare what Los Santos has to offer and what a waste of potential of a open world game CP 2077 is.
