1. Always-online requirement<br>2. Unoptimized games<br>3. Bloated data from 4K texture and uncompressed files<br>4. Overpriced<br>5. Obsession with photorealistic graphics, making everything looks the same<br>6. Killing servers and not letting people play the games offline<br>7. More sequels, remakes, and remastered<br>8. The need for the latest hardwares just to play a game<br>9. Renting the game even though it said "buy game"<br>10. Microtransactions

Using UE is not only about streamlining development... it's also so studios can easily fire devs and rehire newbies with lower salaries but who already know how to use this engine. No training required. At the end of the day it's all about cutting costs anyways

The "Clunky" feeling in UE5 is the micro FPS drops that the naked eye can't see.

Worst part about UE5 it isn't even looking better. Medium settings, upscale, framegen and you get picture of UE4... at best. Yay! Spending 500$ on GPU so you can have decade old quality.

The fact Robocop didn't use CryEngine is strange as its gameplay mimics Crysis a lot.

The more realistic a game looks the less I'm interested in checking it out.
