Wanted level escalation only matters if it changes normal play, not just one scripted mission.
A weak version of this discussion is just “is this good or bad?” A stronger version asks how emergent stories changes player behavior: what people expect, what they prepare for, and what they stop assuming.
Three things would make the topic more useful:
- how the system behaves when the player is not following a mission
- whether it creates consequences without becoming annoying
- how it interacts with police, traffic, NPCs, money, or exploration
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.
For me the thread comes down to this: What visual detail would tell you the most about wanted level escalation? What should a newcomer understand first? How could this make the story stronger?
