I don't understand the obsession with police systems. It's such a waste of time and resources. I don't want a GTA clone. I want to play a merc and battle gangs and corps, not go randomly assaulting civilians and meaningless police NPC.
I'd rather they focus more assets on other gameplay elements than the police gimmick.
The melee, the third person cutscenes and perspective. Blocking as a melee build in first person feels awful, and is obsolete the vast majority of the time as either most mobs shoot at you, and the few that do seem to strike in melee at Very Hard pretty much ignore the block/parry system or drain 70% of your stamina in one hit while not even being staggered.
So much of the combat, stealth, and RPG mechanics could be worked on instead of spending time trying to appease the people who want to randomly assault civilians for giggles because they're the type who are easily amused by pushing down prostitutes or grandmas on the sidewalk in GTA.
