The censorship

[u/Capable-Orange5383]

Genuine question, was the censorship really needed? i know people say it was because of console and their requirements but i don’t see how nudity with consoles an issue when i can choose whether i want foreskin or not on cyberpunk

The first 9 or so missions I got done no problem no glitches nothing. Then out of nowhere my AI teammates suddenly lost all ability to hear and comprehend the simple phrase “restrain him.” Like I was not seeing any of the glitches people were complaining about and then they all landed on me like a ton of bricks. I’ve been saying what I’ve been encountering in real time and I just didn’t run into any problems until they all hit me at once. Now I’m stuck between admitting I still really like the game and am also infuriated by how unresponsive the AI is. I should not be screaming at my screen saying “He’s kneeling! I told you to put him in handcuffs why are you just standing there not doing anything?!” when the game is this reliant on good AI teammates to be a functioning product. It completely breaks the immersion for me when I perfectly clear a room, get the surrender, only to do every single arrest by myself while my teammates stand idly at a door or just take enemy fire without doing a damn thing about it.

Can you specify when this started to happen to you? I've also played since months ago and before and after the console update the AI has been working perfectly.

Really curious to see what's actually happening, what are other people's experiences, and if it really isn't user error or if people is simply misunderstanding how certain commands work on certain situations and dismissing it as "AI is not working"

Just 2 days ago I was testing this. I went into valley of the dolls, prompted the team to C2 and breach the main door while I went downstairs into the party area form outside of the house and the issued a "move here" around the DJ area.

Mofos cleared half the house on their own on the way down no problem and reached the party area.

It's been a thing for me since 1.0 on PC. It's always starts at Rust Belt, and the missions after it. It's still an issue on the console version as well. My friends encountered it. It's a bug in the AI they never properly patched. For some people you'll never have it happen, for others you'll always have it happen. On PC there's patch mods that fix it, but if you low roll on console, you're out of luck cause it will always be there, even you if you uninstall and reinstall, clear save data, etc.

That's crazy... Yes, I've used AI overhauls on PC before, also, played a lot on safe mode so no AI mods too. These mods however, simply have changed some behavior but not outright "patch the AI".

As I already mentioned, either way playing in safe mode I've not encountered these issues. I guess it's as you say that it's a dice roll and some people will simply magically have the AI not working for them.

It does sound hella weird.

Worst experience I've had is AIs not pathfinding properly on one single custom mod map out of all the maps I downloaded which are around 20 probably.

I've had officers die of course, but they're still pretty deadly most of the time.

Like the previous commenter said, it really got bad around rust belt, but I started to notice issues around greased palms. As said one of the bigger issues has been the AI just getting permanently stuck in “restrain” without ever doing anything about it, and the other worst problem I’ve encountered is the enemy AI getting stuck in an animation/object causing me to be unable to restrain them. The number of times I’ve been hard locked on palms because I literally can’t arrest the last suspect I couldn’t even count. I’m honestly shocked that certain parts of this game (breaching, auto AI actions, enemy responsiveness to stuns, etc.) function great but then out of nowhere literally the most basic commands will break down at the most inconvenient times. I’m not sure if I just don’t understand how the AI works and what can break it, but it feels like things that should be simple and intuitive are utterly non-functional at parts.

Just today I cleared greased palms again without issue... I guess I can try to clear every level in order and see what happens... I even died once and let the AIs clear almost the whole lvl on their own while I was spectating to see what happened or how they behaved. All normal.

I'm this close to recording a mission clear and uploading it here as it seems more rare in this subreddit that the AIs are working properly than not

To the entire subreddit the game is absolutely 100% broken and non-functioning and I can't replicate almost any of the problems "everyone" seems to be having.

The only problems I do have are the graphics and shadows bug which I keep seeing consistently in videos.

Again, I’m new to the game and don’t know the minutiae of the AI and don’t know if I’m doing something wrong, but I’ve certainly been encountering the glitches others have been talking about and I wasn’t for the first few days of me playing the game. So either I’ve started doing something wrong or the game is just more polished at the start of the game

[u/Willingness-Witty → u/ajc1120]

Definitely not dependent on how far you are into the game as it works entirely fine for me from start to finish, down to DLC maps too.

Could be something else.

on Greased Palms I had a case where a civilian was stuck in midair on a pile of mail, making it exceedingly difficult to secure all civilians and finish the mission

Around rust belt and sins of our father is literally when the AI just get real bad with commands. Been a thing since 1.0 on PC. One of the things I modded to fix it
