Eh, they're trying to do different things. Cyberpunk is more about the narrative and first person combat, while GTA will be more about the sandbox and a horrendous microtransaction-riddled multiplayer mode.

Having played Cyberpunk quite a bit both before (2 full playthroughs) and after (Phantom Liberty + a bit of messing around) the big update that "fixed" cops, it didn't really make a difference. Sure, cops won't teleport behind you, but just like before there is no reason to ever interact with the cops because they don't give you loot, XP, or money. Getting a wanted level was always just a random accident due to either accidentally hitting a cop car while driving somewhere or a stray bullet hitting a civilian.

For what it's worth I'd still consider Cyberpunk to be bad, but it's better than GTA5 because at least the implied setting is interesting.
