Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world, action-adventure story set in Night City, a megalopolis obsessed with power, glamour and body modification. You play as V, a mercenary outlaw going after a one-of-a-kind implant that is the key to immortality.

Let me just talk about red dead redemption 2 wanted system. So you got witnesses, witnesses have 3 stages, if they saw you doing a crime with a mask, if they just caught the body, and of course if they see you without mask commiting the crime which is the worst. The first two options you can come back and almost of the time you are alowed to have a talk with the cops and get out of there. You can also do petty crimes like fighting shooting to the air or vandalizing and the cops have also a stage where they kick you out of the spot with no repercussions, you can even taunt them one more time and they get this mad stage where if you dont leave immedeatly they will bust you down. There’s one more situation that is just beautiful and no one talks about: unholster your gun and follow dudes that have weapons, just follow them and dont taunt them either.. they will get mad, pull out the gun on you and shoot you after different warnings from them, you can kill them all you want in the middle of a town, everyone will run from you and the sheriff will come see what’s up but no one will do shi, because the npc pulled the gun on you first, and that’s how it went in the west. People talked a lot of shit saying that game is just another gta, when it’s really not. And now look at this cyberpunk game. It’s so sad, it’s actually worst that gta3...

[@CoriniansSaySalame]

Next, you should analyse the Nazis' behaviour and the Alarm system from The Saboteur. That game contains plenty of intriguing gameplay mechanics surrounding its "Wanted" system. I think you'd love it!

[@PeninsulaCity2024]

Now that CDPR has revealed the official overhaul of the wanted system as of August 24, 2023, this video is due for a remake. A side by side comparison would be cool as its a huge improvement complete with passive car patrols, vehicle responses when wanted, a new APC for SWAT, and MAXTAC finally getting airdropped in as a squad of mini-bosses. And no, killing them only sends more.

[@Thekillergreece]

If the remade police system is worth a remade video, sure. Side by side comparison won't be needed as this video will stay. One can compare this video with the new one whenever that comes.

I just wish they fixed this and had cars pursuing you and exiting their vehicle instead of spawning out of nowhere. I also wish that you didn’t get 4 stars when you only committed 4 crimes. That’s just dumb. If we at least have 4 stars when we commit more crimes than 4 crimes that would be much better. They should extend from 4 stars to 5 6 or 7 as well. It wouldn’t be much necessary and it will probably take up the screen a little, but it would be more better to add more weaker units than max tac to add to the extra stars! Then max tac will be at the final star! I also wanted helicopters for the law enforcement like in the gameplay trailer... When you start the game from the beginning, you will only begin with having limit to 1 or 2 stars! Last but not least, probably this is optional but more easier for the player. Night city police should use melee at 1 star. Which could be easier for the wanted system to the players! If you have other good ideas, let me know. But this is just me.
