Does sex, nudity, drugs/junkies, extreme violence make a game better? Anyway I think there are more fundamental problems with the game.

Absolutely, it's more realistic.

Unless you like playing hello kitty :)

Yeah no, I think I can easily play a game without.
Definitely not every game but a space rpg? It’s basically cutting out anything that humans genuinely find interesting on a primal level.
Compare the videos linked elsewhere in this thread, the CP scenes are just so much richer. The starfield ones feel really fake imo.
I'm speaking more in general, not as a comparison between cyberpunk 2077 and starfield, there are plenty of games that do not have dark themes, and I don't think that any of that is required to make a good game.
None of games without these elements feel real. Not everybody prefer polished Disney-like worlds, thank you very much.
I mean if you only play games that needs to feel real than you are really limiting yourself.
I think you're intentionally missing the point being made.
I think so, especially when you’re trying to represent a sizable part of the known universe. It also severely restricts the stories you can tell.
