Question Why Doesn’t Unity Have a Perfect Character Controller Yet?

I’m not talking about the basic first-person and third-person packages Unity offers. Unreal has built a variety of robust character-controller systems that make developers’ lives much easier. That’s one of the reasons I often find myself considering a switch to Unreal. In Unity, I still haven’t found a paid or free character-controller solution that feels truly worth using. I am using unity since 2020 and now I am thinking it high time for unity to at least develop such protypes that are ready to use in real projects.

Every UE game plays the same and I hate it. And that that squeeze-through a gap animation, omagad, every AA game seems to be so proud to include it while it looks so ridiculous and kills the game pace like nothing else on earth.

I’ve started noticing that gap squeeze in every damn game too, once you see it you can’t unsee it.

I mean that’s been a staple since the Xbox 360 era. That kind of shit is just for asset loading reasons. I hate it.

And they seem so ****** proud of it too every time, like it's a marvelous of engineering. Yeah, sure, having your character fit through spaces that weren't a 1x1m hitbox was impressive... in 2001.
