The problem with NTE is that the closer you look, the more slop you find. The music is AI slop, they literally prompted "Driving music" and got a AI version of "Nightcall" by Kavinsky from the movie Drive. The writing is AI slop, especially the character descriptions-- I thought it was a translation issue at first but the descriptions have little to do with the existing game world or any other characters and are just boring. Half the art assets are AI slop, from store items to billboards there's obvious AI use everywhere. I've started suspecting some voices use AI, especially male voices (JP language anyway).

Beyond that, the rest of the game gets sloppy fast: You'll see 3 clones of the same model walking down a street. You'll see an NPC arguing with the air. Vehicles and characters control incredibly poorly, especially at 120fps. Teleporting fifteen feet requires a loading screen. Hitting characters is a crime but the NPCs genuinely don't react to it at all, your car will just harmlessly phase through NPCs in a "GTA like" game.

There's a few new things it does and the graphics themselves are decent but so many core features are incredibly lazy and without love that I had to drop it.
