Adding details like this would make the series into a true urban sandbox where players can actually influence the environment around them with their bad decisions rather than causing wanton destruction without a care in the world. Helicopters and planes should create craters in streets if they crash land, cars should be able to destroy storefronts if players drive into them, and buildings should begin to crumble if enough damage has been done to them. Now, that GTA 6is reportedly in early development by Rockstar Games, the next chapter needs to incorporate more environmental destruction caused by vehicles to truly take the franchise into the next generation of gaming. Early War MOD is based on my previous mod, Realistic Soldiers MOD, and in this mod German and UK soldiers will wear pickelhaube helmets and service caps.
So the experience winds up being immersion-breaking and potentially dull over time. Realistic Soldiers MOD changes in-game models, within the engine limits, in a realistic and historically accurate way. Yet the buildings, streets, and trees of Los Santos remain unscathed despite players' destructive tendencies.
Half the fun in GTA Online involves ramming planes, helicopters, and cars into other players. One of the missions in the crime adventure game's story forces players to blow up a freight boat to hijack a submarine.
Grand Theft Auto V is nothing short of a demolition derby simulation.
