Grand Theft Auto V may be one of the greatest games of all time, but there's still a bunch of things that piss me off. We're going to take a lot at the most infuriating or painstakingly slow elements there are in the game. If you've ever attempted 100% completion, then you would've encountered every single one of these.
Honourable mentions: NPC drivers, Strangers wanting lifts to the other side of the map.
10. Mopping the floor
The Bureau raid may be one of the best missions in the game, but there's one thing that I found incredibly annoying: when you have to disguise yourself as a janitor and walk around mopping the floor. You have to constantly pick up the bucket and move it to a new position, and I found out the hard way that if you don't clean the mop after each use it smudges dirt around. Very tedious!
9. Custom cars disappearing
You're provided with parking spaces at each of your safe houses, yet vehicles you park there often disappear. Additionally, if you take a vehicle from your home or one of your car garages to use it for a mission, it's likely going to end up locked away in the police station afterwards. This is incredibly frustrating, especially if you've just spent bunch of time and money customising your vehicle, so I ended up only using the default character cars for the entire game. Luckily online multiplayer doesn't have this issue.
8. No parachute
We've all been there. Launching ourselves off of a roof to reach a location faster, only to realise that there's no parachute equipped. You're certainly going to get to the ground faster than you'd hoped for. Splat!
7. Mountain lions
They're aggressive and they're fast. Mountain lions are hard to escape, and once they catch you there's no surviving. There's nothing worse than wandering the wilderness to find a collectible only to hear the deadly roar of this predator approaching. You'd better pull your gun out quickly if you hope to live another day.
6. Stock market
If you don't know how to work out Lester's stock market missions, look it all up online. I don't see how anyone could figure this stuff out on their own, as even with following a guide I still messed it all up. Once you eventually figure out which company to invest in and at the right time to do it, you have to then keep sleeping to progress time over and over again so the stocks can rise. It's a complete mess.
5. Angry cops
The cops on GTA V don't hold back! Let's say they're chasing after a criminal at high speed, guns blazing, with pedestrians getting hit along the way, then I accidentally bump into their car. Well apparently the right thing for the cops to do in that situation is shoot me dead. Stay clear from that cop outside the Sandy Shores police station, because she's ready to put you in the ground if you even look at her.
4. Solid hedges
Lets look at what happens when you drive your car into some objects around the map. Metal street light bolted into the ground? Falls over. Fire hydrant? Broken. Solid electrical box? Gone. Wooden fence? Knocked down like paper. Hedges that are literally made of leaves? Destroys your car! Leaves are apparently just as strong as concrete, which is some bad gaming design.
3. Nuclear waste / Submarine parts
The UFO parts, letter scraps and monkey mosaics were fine to collect. The nuclear waste and submarine parts on the other hand? Both extremely boring and painstakingly slow. The nuclear waste mission had the slowest, most annoying vehicle to control in the game: the submarine. Using it for a short period in the Merryweather heist was bad enough, but driving it around the entire ocean? Torture. The submarine parts mission didn't include a submarine, so you had to constantly get in and out of your boat and dive to the ocean floor. The things we do for 100% completion...
2. Online players
GTA online with friends is incredibly fun. GTA online with strangers on the other hand is quite the opposite. You'll encounter three different types of players:
1. Normal people who play the game the way it's meant to be played. This is very rare.
2. Children. For an R18 title there are an astounding amount children on there, which is disgusting. They're loud, angry and have absolutely no idea what they're doing.
3. Players who quit a heist at the very last second making you, your teammates and even themselves lose hundreds of thousands of dollars just to be annoying. You've got to wonder how boring and pathetic their lives must be if this is what they do to entertain themselves.
1. Did Somebody Say Yoga?
"Your lungs, they work, yes?" This was my most failed mission in the entire game, and it got to the point where I was about to slam the controller into the ground. I was following the instructions perfectly, yet Michael kept falling over every single time. There's not just one yoga routine, there's three, each with an increasing amount of moves to perform. And if you fall over at the end, you have to start the routine again. It was incredibly frustrating and definitely deserves the top spot on this list.
