Side jobs only matters if it changes normal play, not just one scripted mission.
The strongest GTA systems are the ones players notice by accident: an NPC reacting differently, a police chase taking a new turn, a damaged car changing the escape, or a small choice creating a story nobody planned.
The practical questions:
- how it interacts with police, traffic, NPCs, money, or exploration
- whether it produces stories players can retell
- how the system behaves when the player is not following a mission
Русский вывод: В геймплее важны системы, которые работают не только в миссиях. Если мир реагирует на действия игрока сам по себе, GTA VI будет ощущаться намного живее.
That is why I would rather discuss one concrete thing: What system would make side jobs matter during actual gameplay? What would be the next useful confirmation?
