Observations and Commentary

Criticism and Feedback

  • Boring Gameplay: Repetitive and not engaging; missions are simplistic without much variety.
  • Comparison to Other Jobs:
    • Inefficient compared to other money-making methods like the cluck and bell raid.
    • Isolation of delivery missions makes them less appealing and rewarding.
  • Potential Improvements:
    • Adding complexity or story elements (e.g., drug cartel front).
    • Removing unnecessary cooldowns for more continuous gameplay.

Additional Activities

  • Graffiti Missions:
    • Spread across the map; involve tagging billboards.
    • Earns around $100,000 for completing all daily graffiti tasks.
  • Taxi Missions:
    • On Triple cash event, more profitable temporarily.
    • Still less profitable compared to other activities like Kyo.

Concluding Thoughts

  • Meta Commentary: Real-life dissatisfaction with the direction of content updates by Rockstar.
  • Future Speculations: Possible integration of more legal activities influenced by Rockstar's involvement in GTA RP servers.
  • Final Takeaway: Delivery missions and similar activities remain largely uninteresting and provide minimal incentives in the current game meta.
  • Note: There's a continuous struggle balancing content that keeps engagement high while offering valuable rewards.
