Can't say I agree as I haven't gotten to that point yet.
I really don't like Shimura. I have rarely hated or loved characters in any game. Shimura is getting on my very, very short list of hated characters.

I guess that’s fair. I played through the game twice and kinda stopped on my third playthrough. But he grew on me. I understood his thought process. But I just wished he was more open minded.
Wow that video shows that the monorail was in place. I hope they introduce it with a DLC or smoehintg. I believe they didn't had the time to optimize the game with it so they have removed it for the time being.. at least I hope. It sucks because it will be great just to roam with public transport and just enjoy the city from 1st person perspective. I dunno but I love this mechanic.
back in the day I played one paythrouigh of Mafia 1 and doing all mission and getting to objective just by riding the public transport. and in that game we have trams, buses, metro (the one above streets) and taxis. IT was amazing experience not to use cars at all except the missions with them. Imagine replaying the game without driving a single vehicle
I would do that for sure.

Star Citizen have an awesome mechanism with subway system. They could use it as inspiration.
As much of a mess as that project is, I thought similar. The game worlds function in similar ways too, with areas streamed in and out as the player interacts with them. The subway could, honestly, act as a loading screen when traveling, just like it does in SC (real-time streaming in-and-out of assets between stations). There are ways to work it in there.
They did say the subway just wasn't doing anything to add to gameplay. it's like a "Hey, we've got this feature, but nobody's going to use it". V's apartment, for example, serves no real purpose. It just feels...off that this stuff is there, but has no in-game use. If these things were given just a little bit of context or flair, they'd be useful. Thinking of GTA4's subway, for example. It took longer to get around than if you just drove...but the fact that it was there, and worked, made that world come alive. Garbage trucks in the mornings driving down the road. Municipal vehicles. Police in traffic. Taxi cabs scurrying about...it felt like a city.
And if you dig around in the world, you'll see that the monorail stations are pretty detailed for being all the way up there, and the subway stations have functional, yet inaccessible entrances. It's like it was supposed to be there, and then the doors were locked and the assets were unloaded.
I really hope this and other immersive things, like more variety in traffic, added taxis, buses, purpose-built vehicles, street vendors, etc. are addressed going forward.
The game world is awesome, and the game itself is great...it's just that it's there, but not much else. I've spent a few hours of game time just walking around the city looking at stuff, I enjoy it that much...just would like some more things that make it feel like a "real" city, not just a backdrop.
I agree, but I wouldn’t count the monorail out on what should be added after the core issues (bugs, frame rate, AI, story) get fixed.
Night City Area Rapid Transit
This is a holographic subway gate that allowed me to fast travel. If they removed actual subways and then put this half-assed implementation in (that they still didn't even finish or finish removing since the fast travel still works), I highly doubt they're going to have a way of putting a subway into the game that doesn't currently exist. There is so much else wrong that it's far at the bottom of the totem pole and likely not worth the effort.

It’s worth the effort, but not a priority at the moment. That’s my take.
They couldn't even deliver the most basic NPC AI pathing on open streets which is literally the same for every generic NPC. How are they going to manage NPC's getting on and off subways? They even said their sole focus right now is getting the game to run on consoles "closer" to how it runs on PC. As it stands the only thing they have stated they are working on is almost entirely superficial. How are they going to change core game dynamics that don't even exist? We were sold a lie, start to finish.
But they have an opportunity to fix it. It’ll take time. And right now, it’s still only a week from release. They’ve earned some time from me to show their good will, I’ll give them that opportunity.
Remember that TW3 released to very similar situations, and was fixed and improved.
Absolutely agree, I think there should bring back Death March with survival elements like eating / drinking / fatigue
i don't think that every single person works on bug fixing, they have a separate squad who can fix bugs, but there are a dozen devs who dont fix bugs they are free to do something else. CDPR team is huge.
There is monorail system around the city but no subway, I believe the scrapepd the subway and left the monorail but limit the access to it for now. I hope they unlock it and we'll be able to ride the monorail train. It'll be awesome.
I hope so. I was surprised I couldn't call a cab after the mission with the cab company.
CPPR was a private company and things worked great. But they love $$$ more so now they have to answer to what shareholders dictate. They put themselves in this bind. So it is their fault. And how is the gaming community shitty? If you buy a product, you expect for it to work as advertised, and not to be deceived by fake advertisements and promo campaigns.
This game is unplayable on old gen consoles. How is this ok? I fail to see your logic.

And op, the things they removed from the game(like the monorail and many many other things) should be added to the base game, not DLC. The sad thing is that gamers are getting used to being walked over by game developers. This should stop.
