Emotions
Players are frustrated primarily due to the overwhelming number of bugs and crashes that hinder gameplay. Additionally, the repetitive and unrealistic nature of the gameplay, along with issues such as poor controls, lack of tutorials, and problems with multiplayer functionality, contribute to this frustration.
Disappointment stems from the game's buggy and unfinished state, with many players feeling that it does not live up to its potential. The focus on DLCs over core gameplay improvements, lack of expected features, and poor execution further exacerbate this sentiment.
Anger is mainly caused by the developers' focus on releasing DLCs instead of fixing the game's numerous bugs and issues. Players are also angry about the lack of cross-play support, poor quality of the game, and the feeling that the game is a cash grab.
Players enjoy the game for its engaging mechanics and the variety of police aspects it covers. The fun gameplay, rank-up system, and positive aspects like graphics and lighting contribute to the overall enjoyment.
Satisfaction comes from the game's realistic and immersive gameplay, including de-escalating situations and investigating crime scenes. The well-polished mechanics and variety of activities also contribute to a satisfying experience.
