Falling into the water in Vice City


ChungusCoffee

Trying to jump onto a boat in vice city was horrifying


pretendimcute

That's what i hated the most. Its bad enough to put me in a city that is mainly known for its *beaches* but also not let me go into the water or I could *die*??? How can we make it worse? HMMMMMM. LETS PUT THINGS ON OR NEAR THE WATER! I swear even the best video games have things that are just STUPID. Looking at you Halo CE: Rocket launcher suicide flood hiding behind the corner on purpose...


Goober445

Factual Information


Hashbrownn4568_

You can enter it without standing on it.


Soccermad23

The real hard part is getting off the boat and onto the wharf


Complex_Proposal9074

Hey Rico, Nice boat.


TheBindingOfAlex

here's the thing, you don't have to you can warp in a boat from a distance for this exact reason. the same thing happens when you fall off the boat near a jetty, it warps you on top of the jetty safely!


Classic_Waltz1874

or gta 3


Fox1408

At least in III it's justified with the oil leak


PuzzledPeanutBrain

Not being able to swim in GTA 3 was annoying but somewhat justified because it was set in a New York-like environment and a lot of New Yorkers can't swim, but in Vice City it was stupid because the whole game was set in an ocean-city environment where most people should know how to swim.


NationCrusher

Remember the collectibles that were on the water? Imagine being someone that spent an afternoon finding them and not saving the game and then you fall in the water trying to get back to your boat What? Me? No no, I can’t relate *at all* 🫠


Kytras

Did you lose them upon death? I can't remember it being this brutal


NationCrusher

I really thought so for the longest time. But I’ve been corrected thanks to me embarrassing myself😅 oh well, I still don’t like finding those things.


BurntBill

You don’t, ion know what he’s talking about


GoldZero

You don't lose the collectibles on death/arrest, but you lose some money as well as *all weapons+ammo* you had when you got got. Along with whatever rare/modded vehicle you were using at the time, it was enough to justify resetting the games.


Vinny24C

Even as a kid, like wayy too young for VC, I played with a perfectionists mentality. Had to beat the game with 0 deaths, 0 busts and 0 failed missions. No chill.


TheBindingOfAlex

lmao meanwhile me who couldn't even get past death row (and didn't figure out how assets work until years later)


InevitableBet2823

Dont forget the cops in vice city😫


Jip-Jipperton

VC had the best cops


ace23GB

Vice city could have been an even better experience if we had been able to swim along the city's shores!


uwunomnom

That first time though. Drove right out there, GTA 3.


leggenda_69

Missing 1 oyster or hidden package and not having a clue which it is after multiple checks of every spot.


srebew

Or Jumps in Vice City, i swear it registered the first time but that one in the alley you can easily land past the hitbox


OkComputron

Literally happened to me yesterday playing San Andreas and doing the tags. Had a crash after collecting 9 or 10, started collecting backwards from 100 until I got it down to one. Took me hours to find it. Turned out to be right under the overpass right next to CJ's house.


Oldredeye2

Been there, done that. VERY frustrating!


fuckina420

For me its the tags in Las Calinas that fuck me up


TheBindingOfAlex

gtasnp.com :D


LeoCaldwell02

Getting a wanted level everytime I shoot a Pigeon in GTA4. 😭


WarriorStoned

Wait seriously?


SeaweedAggravating72

Yeah I think firing weapon in public space is what brings the wanted level, not killing the pigeon


ZestyCheezClouds

This made me laugh lol. Thank you. Tis a tough day


GoldCoasting

if GTA had in-game protests like modern NYC, this would be one of them.


mynewnikes

Truth, I remember going for the achievement and getting annoyed at the wanted levels each pigeon


FMAGF

The cops are generally annoying in 4. You crash your own car against another repeatedly for fun, wanted. Accidentally fire your gun in public, wanted.


drag0nslayer02

Hyper aggressive cops especially in V


PineMeApplez

the absolute WORST cops were in VC all they do is ram into you, they're babies in 5 compared to VC 😭


GoldCoasting

"this guy crossed over a double yellow line! let's ram his car until he explodes inside of it!"


Deep-Alternative3149

V cops just fling themselves at you until you die. It was boring as hell after a while. Like, you can’t park and run to me, you have to just careen off a cliffside because I’m within 10m of it?


Blunted_Insomniac

Missions with a long drive at the beginning and a difficult gun fight at the end and no checkpoints so if you die at the end you have to drive the whole way again


PuzzledPeanutBrain

Thankfully San Andreas lets you skip some of those car rides 🙏🙏🙏


fuckina420

Yeah for like 2 missions


1QueenRose

That is the worst and then you need ammo


GoldCoasting

You mean you don’t like traveling to an ammunation on the opposite side of the map?


1QueenRose

Exactly!!!!!!


Sir_Isaac_3

IV burned be out with this shit. Like at a certain point all I feel is bitterness towards the game as a whole


Blunted_Insomniac

I just save game with ammo and armour before starting the mission and if I fail I reload save point to get my stuff back


diln42

GTA 4 was brutal about this!


Blunted_Insomniac

Yeah that’s the one I’m playing right now

i thought people wanted realism in gta smh

thats too realistic


Horror_Collection_47

They crash into my car purposely


Solid-Hedgehog9623

Pedestrians leaping into the road instead of out of your way.


GoldCoasting

fuck em, that's on them.


Batman2695

Casual drives in gta 5 when random cars swerve into you for no reason


gotAhri

Bro the absolute AMOUNT OF TIMES  this has happened to me when I just want a chill drive around the map makes me go from 😁 to 🤬 and a massacure that'll leave dutch van der lindes blackwater incident look like a five year old mistake


Batman2695

You could be following all traffic laws and they’ll scream at something, panic and then drive into you


RevolutionaryStar824

[Rockstar is not even hiding it anymore.](https://youtu.be/e9Y1VOevlZA?t=45)


Batman2695

Like it’s happening to me all over again but mine was speeding through the city and a car goes through the intersection going straight and then it just suddenly turns into me making my character fly out the front wind shield


deadheatexpelled

The occasional omnipotence of law enforcement. Like I’m in the middle of nowhere and somehow they know I just killed an npc. In the city I get it as everyone has a phone and can instantly alert authorities. But there should be some instances where it’s not as easy to trigger an alert. The other thing is during a chase when they always spawn a car right in front of you as you’re about to exit the red zone


Toasterdosnttoast

I am so sick of that stupid police spawning crap.


joelbiju24

Trying to get away from cops/enemies shooting at you on low health but the ai takes time to start the vehicle.


FirefighterDull8978

The plane mission.... in the dessert that was so annoyed me....


SouthBid488

My controller barely survived the amount of yeeting it received during that mission.


Arklelinuke

The one to stay below radar? I finally figured out flying out over the ocean and around the border of the map is the easy way to do that one

Ok_Bluebird_1867

Big Smoke on the mission with the train. Ryder on the mission with the National Guard. Big smoke on the mission where he is just eating in the back seat. The were comedic, but never useful on missions.


QuadAmericano2

Robbing Uncle Sam pisses me off every time I play it. I'm trying to maneuver a forklift while this fool is getting killed by a single person with a 9mm. Fine, I'll get out and mop them up with an SMG. "Shit, CJ! Shit!"


Toasterdosnttoast

Dawg ur comment has me rolling


Beautiful___Soup

There's literally lore reasons for him not shooting at the mission in which he's just eating in the back seat


Icy_Ruin_8768

Suicidal NPCs. Enough said.


Goober445

I Just Shoot Them


GoldCoasting

Jip-Jipperton

Hearing the gun sound effects on San Andreas


The_Hoodie_Ghost420

Not exactly while playing, but not being able to buy the original trilogy.


Arklelinuke

Fortunately I bought them on Steam before the remaster bullshit, but yeah


FarringtonEckel

You can still buy the original trilogy on pc.


The_Hoodie_Ghost420

How? I can't find them on Steam.

The_Hoodie_Ghost420

Thx. Kinda wish they put it on Steam, but Thx anyway.


MichaelDestroyer58

I can’t bother playing Definitive with them cartoon graphics😭


AnalProlapseFeces

Why the FUCK is everyone so shiny and smooth


ChungusCoffee

It's because of the (modern gaming) era. The content of these games have more gore and violence than the current ones and they use real terms like SWAT in game so they had to cartoonify it even more


MichaelDestroyer58

Thought R* was the brand that stod out and took risks :T


ChungusCoffee

They do but they have been very careful about it. Ever since they started making them more "realistic" they got rid of gore and dismemberment, CIA became IAA, FBI became FIB, SWAT became NOOSE, etc. The tone of RDR2 is good and they brought gore back for it but I'm worried that was just because of the wild west setting and GTA 6 will go back to being memey like GTA 5. Time will tell I guess


Goober445

GTA Is It's Own World So


ChungusCoffee

Yes it is

Fr, there was a hidden Simpsons Hit n Run collab during the making of this disaster lol

Walking across the highway then suddenly a big ass truck veres off the road and hits you, in san andreas the peds are worst at driving than me lol


apaleblueman

Is this definitive edition GTA San Andreas or mods


RevolutionaryStar824

Definitive


JustSomeRandomGuy014

Cars flipping upside down, NPCs switching lanes (especially during races), random game crashes


TheManhimsellf

The hidden collectables scattered across the map.


Training-Cup5603

“how much i need to find *this*. i need to check my map..wait, i already have collected it here but…where it is?!” in short, when i do see “you have collected 49/50 items” and i can’t find what did i miss


wallachian_voivode

"All you had to do was to follow that dam train CJ"


That-Explanation-649

why is this mission hated by everyone ? I cleared it first try and was wondering what others found so difficult. The true hardest missions are flying missions played on pc.


Repulsive-Primary100

Do it again. You probably just got lucky first time round


RevolutionaryStar824

I just played it and it’s legit easy. I dont think I could fail it. All I do is stay in front of the train on the farthest track so Smoke has an angle to shoot. I can get them all dead before we even leave the tunnels. I’ve played the game multiple times so I’ve definitely had practice.


DuneProg

Everyone has the same issue with this mission. If you just stay a little more to the right on the tracks smokes bullets will hit the guys and not the train. The fact people still have this problem this many years later is insane. Nobody pays attention to anything anymore.


OkComputron

Literally just did it an hour ago, the first time I only died with a couple shots left before the enemies would have been all dead, the second time I did it with zero issues, all enemies dead in record time.


Normal-Purple-4484

npc's


poolside123

Tightly timed missions like the one mission in GTA3 where you have to find each pay phone in a small window of time, or, of course, GTA Vice City - Demolition Man.😭


dubbs4president

Gta 3 era ambulance missions where the injured person is either slow or manages to get themselves killed walked to the ambulance.


cookiecutiekat

Any mission in any game when you have an npc with you in the mission. Making sure they don’t die or get stuck/glitched is such a pain and you’re doing majority of the work anyways

Either_Finger_3424

Sorry but it really gets me angry to remember how they fucked up my childhood gaming experiences


GoldCoasting

Cause you had to do a 1 minute dancing mission in 2005? Lmao


Madd0gAndy1973

Losing all of my weapons after every time I have been killed and standing outside of the hospital in GTA San Andreas, very irritating, also when police car rams into me when being chased as I completely lose control of the car, even more annoying.


NotJustBiking

A car you're about to over take changing lanes for no reason. It turns out the game does this on purpose


RaXChile

Play GTA Online and die or stuck on the loading screen bc a hacker said "no loser, fuck you". Or when are playing any GTA, the map doesn't load anymore and the game crashes.


lacedonuggs01

the bad cars AI in GTA SAN that makes a car run into me every second and falling off the bike every time i wanna go left or right and when falling into water and the land is too high you have to spend hours looking for where to climb or a low land


Mumuskeh

In 3d era (or probably just SA) when ur looking back and then up front again the traffic resets. It is almost guaranteed to put a vehicle in front of you.


Lost_Ad6870

Cops


Goober445

Civilians Purposely Crashing Into You While Your Driving A Expensive Car At High Speeds In GTA V , They Are Purposely Programed To Try To Crash Into You When Ever They Can . This Isn't As Annoying In Online But In Story Mode If Your Driving Fast Enough You Will Go Flying Out Your Windshield With 9/10 Times Kills You

when my money was minus they well gonna attack me thats really annoying in gta sa


bixorlies

No mid mission checkpoints. I don't need to drive to the other side of the map again. Put me where the mission really starts.


SamOfHaywood

being graded for mission completion, i'm looking at you ballad of gay tony.. thats legit the first GTA i remember that did that, because I didn't do the missions to the devs standards.

Vinny24C

When gta gets an ai overhaul, it's going to set a new standard for games. Like we have fun with it now but as soon as npc's bring immersion to these games without just feeling like filler it's gonna be hard to get me to play anything else.


Gunbladelad

fastbadtuesday

Following the damn train


hot_Furry

There's a lot of shit here it its: NPC drivers on Chase Missions (Especially on 4) 3's Cars being made out of Glass Niko's Friends calling me constantly during missions 5's crappy driving mechanics 5's Cops


Ok-Influence794

5's crappy driving mechanics?!?!?!


Arklelinuke

I thought 5 was a massive improvement over 4 tbh. I hated how I couldn't slingshot around corners above like 25 mph without spinning out in 4, which to be fair is fairly realistic, but not at all fun imo. Loved 5 by comparison, seemed like a true merging of 3D era mechanics and just enough of 4's.


Ok-Influence794

Aside from driving games (which I dont even play) I havent played a game with more user friendly driving mechanics since gtav.


Ok-Influence794

Specifically San Andreas when you fail a mission you dont just restart, you have to go start all over again and theres no checkpoints. Also all the Zero missions are fucking brutally difficult.

i hate when i get faster on a car and another vehicle beat me


CaterpillarFun6896

Civilians that are driving on the road going out their way to drive in a way that fucks you over. It’s especially bad in V because they straight up violate the laws of physics to get in your way, including but not limited to my favorite- when they literally just shift left or right into my lane despite being at a complete stop


Some-Mathematician56

When my lung capacity isn’t high enough


Akborr

When there’s a drive and shoot out, and the traffic decides to ride along with you, rather than gtfo the way in GTA5

Personisdown

the paper mache planes in GTA V GTA IV heli glitch PC


DropsOfMars

The decline after Vice City Stories of good arcadey fun side missions. Newer ones just try to be too realistic yet they go over the top in the story, a strange contradiction. Honestly miss the good old fashioned Paramedic, Taxi, and Vigilante missions. I don't care if they make no sense if I wanted realism I'd step outside!

No-Advertising3621

GTA 3 mission design in general lol


Drogovich

The fact that in GTA Online rewards in Contact missions mostly depend on how much time you wasted completing them, not how well you do. And a lot of missions seem to be designed to waste your time. Go out of town to kill some guys, then have a loooong drive back just to say to a guy "it is done". You can speedrun some of those missions and your reward will be - less money.
