Vehicle damage 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 useful checks:
- whether it creates consequences without becoming annoying
- how it interacts with police, traffic, NPCs, money, or exploration
- whether it produces stories players can retell
Коротко по-русски: 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.
Curious where people land on this: What system would make vehicle damage matter during actual gameplay? What would be the next useful confirmation? What choice would this affect for you?
