The worst SA mission is Photo Opportunity, bar none. A long-ass drive in the worst-handling car in the game, and 30 seconds of using a camera (a gimmick just like the extinguisher). If you flip (and you will flip), you are stuck in the middle of nowhere. If you don't flip and finish the mission - you are still stuck in the middle of nowhere. Boring, annoying, long, offers literally nothing interesting gameplay-wise.

Very difficult not to resort to cars fly and other cheats when I was younger

[@troymartin4260]

It's also annoying that Cesar drops you off in the middle of nowhere and says "we better split up!" Like they did something more action packed than just taking pictures

[@aeronyx]

I'm surprised Photo Opportunity didn't make it since it has obvious gameplay flaws, but Burning Desire made it for what can be described as mostly skill issue.

[@Walkerman606]

Not the worst imo, but can definitely understand why people would say it.

[@Matt16006]

Kinda surprised about the Burning Desire pick. Sure it's by no means the best mission, navigating through the house isn't very fun, but I never had any issues with the first part of the mission. I think having to set the house on fire is a pretty unique and cool objective. For me the worst in SA were: - Photo Opportunity (Pretty much just a LONG-ass drive where you're forced to use a car that is very prone to flipping) - 555 We Tip (Boring as hell, extremely annoying if you damage the car and have to restart) - Robbing Uncle Sam (Long and boring, using the forklift is a hassle) - Freefall (Worst one for me. Turning the plane around can be REALLY frustrating and finicky. Always a pain)

[@lorenzoreigada9681]

yeah the dodo can't keep up with the jet in freefall, its really annoying

[@TheCFD_Dude]

Fun fact, Photo Opportunity was a much bigger mission where CJ and Ceasar fly a heli over the diner further east on the highway. In fact, to this day if you fly a heli over Ceasar's car before you pick him up while miles in the air, you can see a giant red corona surrounding him showing you where to land. But that's why it seems like CJ and Ceasar are yelling the in cutscene, cus the mission was completely reworked into a boring cutscene only mission.

[@tevinfw]

Yeah. Robbing Uncle Sam is the only one I hate.

[@JustTheButler71]

​​@TheCFD_Dude wasn't Madd Dogg's final mission (where you chase OG Loc throughout LS with a Go Kart & Hoverfloats) originally gonna use a helicopter since the characters are shouting on the drive to Loc

[@TheCFD_Dude]

@@JustTheButler71 actually havent heard of that one. But I got one more for you since I havent heard of that one. There's a feature that's currently half broken in the release version of the game, even in on the PS2. It was impounded cars. The game will actually store your last used car at the LS impound lot, but because of camera mechanic that despawns cars when you look away from them, entering the ls impound garage while not looking torwards your car at all times will despawn it. So most people dont even know impound is a working (semi working at least) feature introduced in GTA SA, not GTA V. Also there is a cut impound mission for Ceasar that woulda taken place right after the frst race that woulda gave a tutorial on the impound system.

[@Jontage99]

For GTA IV I'd throw in Pegorino's Pride. There's the lengthy driving sections at the start and end, where you can't take any other car. And for first-time players it's not made very clear that blowing up the Pavanos' car prematurely will destroy Jimmy's tribute and fail the mission, which is made more brutal by the lack of checkpoints. Actions Speak Louder Than Words also earns a mention for its long, boring tailing section where you drive up the whole length of the island. At least Pegorino's Pride has dialogue to spice up its monotonous parts.

[@Walkerman606]

Pegorino's Pride gets a pass because the dialogue on the drive when Pegorino absolutely lays into Pete and Marco verbally is absolutely hilarious. I don't actually mind Actions Speak Louder Than Words, but do get the point, because as much as IV is my favourite (narrowly ahead of Vice City,) if it has one fault, it's there's too many tailing missions. They aren't hard, but they do drag.

[@itsyvonblitz6819]

@@Walkerman606 Now that you mention it, there are a lot of tailing missions. It's interesting that the (arguably) best entry in both the Grand Theft Auto franchise and the Assassin Creed franchise, both happen to be the IVth games out of the numbered games in their respective franchises.

[@abluecar5375]

Heavily disagree with your take on Burning Desire Sure the premise was a bit weird with CJ being selective on just saving Denise (What about the other innocent people in the apartment? or heck maybe they had other girls aside from Denise there too) But the gameplay isn't that bad, it's just a mission to reintroduce the molotov and also introduce the fire extinguisher, I never find it hard to throw the molotov through the windows and I can always kill any Vagos trying to stop me So really, I feel like you're just having a skill issue moment there, the mission is far from being the worst

I think Father/Son is a fun mission. It’s early in the story and seems to be the mission that wins people over during playthroughs as to if GTA V will be a good game to continue. Edit: And this is coming from someone who has played all the games since the first one back in the late 90s on PC.

[@frodope]

Hating the Haters in GTA 4. Mission is a cool concept on paper but that fucking scooter handling made it brutal

[@antoinebaron3862]

if you play on pc. i can give three reasons as to why it's so bad. 1- Playing at a high framerate (it can make the physics engine go crazy and the handling of most vehicles feel too light or too bouncy. Note that the game was designed to run at 30fps). 2- Not having fusionfix installed with its option to remove a famous bug for bikes in GTA IV where the back end swerves and does a complete 180 everytime you make a turn. 3- Playing with WASD instead of an analog stick (Again GTA IV was designed for analog controls, it is actually why many pc players complain about the handling which simply isnt tailored for a keyboard. Pressing D is like pushing your stick to the far right, and A to the far left. There is no in between, thus making many vehicles feel terrible to handle, especially SUVs and Motorbikes.)

after playing it twice recently, the worst mission in San Andreas for me is 100% Snail Trail. it makes you tail a train all the way from SF to LS with literally nothing happening the whole way there, then doing a long and boring "spook-o-meter" tail all the way to the pier just to snipe 2 people. and then you're in the middle of LS so now you have to drive all the way back to SF to do more missions

[@tonyshum5569]

my first ever GTA V playthrough I hated scouting the port, but the promise of big money on a cool heist was enough of an incentive, the betrayal of getting Jack shit from the heist made that crap mission much worse on every subsequential playthrough, from the second playthrough forward scouting the port is just: Fail on purpose thrice, skip checkpoint, continue failing more, skip checkpoint, repeat failure some more, skip mission.

Supply lines became easier due to an update. In the original version the fuel was always going down. While now, fuel only goes down when you're pressing the gas button. If you let go of the gas button and just Glide you're not using any fuel

[@Face742]

Espresso-2-go is probably the most frustrating mission from gta 3 for me, it does have the excuse of it being late game but playing it on anything but the definitive edition is brutal because of the lack of ingame map and no check points indicating where the stalls are under a short time to make any errors. The only way to beat it is trial and error and having 2nd hand knowledge of where the stalls are

[@PalladinPoker]

I finally played through all of GTA 3 recently (as a kid Sayonara Salvatore stumped me). Espresso-2-Go was an easy first clear. Grand Theft Aero was tough without Sniper/Grenade/Rocket abuse, Rigged To Blow and Kingdom Come took a few tries too as did some rampage-like missions.

[@jaydenfisherncfc]

Exactly, I was thinking that mission was going to be on here. That’s got to be the worst, I swear it doesn’t even tell you where to go

[@Arkiasis]

Also the biggest issue for this is Saint Marks. Once you're off of Portland the mafia hates you, and in GTA 3 gangs that hate you attack you on sight, the Mafia is especially bad since they carry shotguns which are so OP in GTA 3 they can blow a car up in 2 hits. So it's very common that you drive into Saint Marks and get blown up instantly from someone double tapping you. It's why if you should always finish the island specific things like police and fire before you finish the island.

[@izzylee64]

27:00 the fuel drains only when X is held down. Tapping X or just gliding helps you preserve fuel. Knowing that makes it easy to finish the mission with like half fuel left. Being a better pilot or just having a better route is likely why it's not as hard for you now.

[@CptnWolfe]

I feel like you should've mentioned the fact that Have a Heart is one of the few missions that you can lose the bodies from the trunk. It doesn't count as a fail, but it doesn't count as a victory either, as you call Elizabeta and tell her you lost the bodies, where she tells you that you missed out on a payday

You CAN just do that Vice City mission with a helicopter. The game asks you to do it on motorcycle, but they never put in a mechanic forcing you to.

[@EmpireGamingWynter]

For me in GTA 3 its one of the missions before the last one where you have to go out near the airport and shoot a helicopter down and steal its contents Not a bad idea for a mission in any other game but with the janky controls, it takes me forever

[@Tmack034]

In the almost 20 years of playing San Andreas, I have only successfully completed supply lines once. It makes N.O.E feel like a tutorial mission.

[@bobboman]

supply lines was made much easier in later editions, i think i passed it twice over the years on the launch PS2 version, and by the time it came out on the xbox 360 it was painfully easy the fuel meter on supply lines decreased even on gliding, which basically left you screwed if you didn't plan your route perfectly

Supply Lines becomes easier over time, but in every playthrough I can never easily do it first time. Still legitimately one of the hardest. Original PS2 version on the controller, that is

[@SOBEKCrocodileGod]

Honestly the flight school missions take the cake as the worst for me in GTASA Honorable mentions go to the Catalina quad chase mission, almost every mission with racing, the mission where you gotta plant evidence in the district attorney’s ride, and Freefall. I like the end of Freefall where you have a gunfight in the plane but getting into the plane was a terrible process.

[@tjones9097]

Gta V’s worst mission should have been eye in the sky. It’s a boring mission that you’re forced to play, and you can’t move to the next area until you’ve scanned everyone in the first area. It adds little to the plot, and depending on your choice near the end, you have to deal with a 3 star wanted level. At least surveying the score had purpose in the story.

[@jadedheartsz]

Surprised Espresso 2 Go wasn't on the list as it's a pain in the ass if you're no good at memorizing stuff like me as all of the locations you have to hit don't get marked on the map until you're fairly close to them and even if you can memorize where they are actually finding the most efficient route to destroy them all before the time limit expires is another story entirely as you have to deal with a crapton of enemies trying to kill you so unless you use a guide to show you the best order to do them in(or have a bulletproof car)this mission is an uphill battle.

For GTA IV there is one thing that is missing, on this GTA’s final mission where you are required to spam the run button to climb up on a helicopter, it is tied to FPS making it impossible to complete if you are running the game higher than 50 fps due to console limitations at the time, on PC this can kind of be worked around on older versions of windows, however, windows 10 and up won’t allow you to manually change the frames through task manager anymore so you need to download software in order to do the mission either a frame rate limiter or macro, on new gen consoles however frames cannot be manipulated at all making it virtually impossible unless you have insane mashing as they never changed the code… 😂

[@Zachoholic]

Another awful thing about GTA 3 paramedic is that you have to do it as early as possible in the story. If you don't, you have all the rival gangs shooting at you, which makes not blowing up the ambulance pretty much impossible (without resorting to glitches or cheats). Also, for GTA SA, I would choose Photo Opportunity as the worst mission. You have to drive from San Fierro to Badlands to Angel Pine, and then all the way back to SF in order to continue the main story. And if you fail because as a first timer you don't know who you have to take pictures of (or miss the face shot that's required to pass the mission) then you either have to reload a save and drive that whole way again, or you have to drive all the way back to SF to restart the mission. Awful mission design, and while it's important story wise, it's super boring. Snail Trail is almost as bad and even more boring (mission wise and story wise) but at least you can skip the drive if you're fast enough to catch the train.

[@gunbladelad7772]

In GTA 3 I thought the mission where you had to destroy the ship was hard without the rocket launcher, which I had to cheat to use, and ice scream you scream cause I got to it after the mafia missions which means everyone was shooting at me constantly.

Speaking of which White Lies is also a huge pain because it forces you to drive the Hovercraft which has to have hands down the absolute WORST controls of ANY vehicle in the entire GTA series, it's way too easy for it to go wildly out of control and you've got a strict time limit to pickup all of the drugs and it goes on for way too long, i'll even take Light My Pyre over that one as at least interesting stuff actually happens there but White Lies is just irritating and not remotely fun.

Some odd choices here to be honest. A bit surprised you didn't mention that for Supply Lines, the fuel was increased for the PC version of SA, since just like with NOE and the draw distance, this mission was more frustrating on the Ps2 because it would run out too fast.

[@caporegimeclutch9715]

The only reason I would personally not say Father/Son is the worst in GTA V is because the opening cutscene for this mission may legitimately be my favorite cutscene in the entire game. I have it memorized by heart because to me its just so damn good. The amount of times I've sat down in my backyard with a whiskey and a cigar sitting in the sun trying to drown out the world and trying to not give a care in the world about anything only to think "holy shit I'm literally Michael De Santa"

Easiest way for kingdom come is to use an explosion proof vehicle

[@Darealdanlorgz]

Prologue is a amazing mission

[@reggiejames8626]

I respect the effort put into this video. I personally would have left side missions that aren’t mandatory for story completion on a separate list but all the missions you discussed were solid nominees nonetheless. A nominee for me in Vice City would have definitely been The Driver. The rubber banding was ridiculous. No matter how good you drive, Hilary King is always outmatching you as it is heavily scripted. His vehicle takes no damage so you can’t play dirty because doing so only damages your own vehicle. This one may have regrettably been tougher for me than other people but maybe I just sucked. In my defense I was probably 11 or 12 when I played it.

[@Toffee-Nug78]

I swear that air-raid mission scarred me for life

[@NailStrafer]

13:31 IIRC, G Spotlight actually can be completed with a helicopter. You can tag all the rooftop checkpoints with a helicopter instead of using the bike.

[@GuckFoogle507]

My pick for worst mission in GTA V is all three ending missions. The first two, because they're not even undercooked, they're straight up getting slapped in the face by a raw chicken breast. But The Third Way is a horrible mission. Very underwhelming from start to finish, incredibly rushed ending, all these epic confrontations and the whole concept of "we're gonna finish off our enemies once and for all" feels very wasted and the shootout inside the foundry was disappointing, specially coming from things such as the Paleto or UD heists. It represents how much wasted potential GTA V had, down to the "choice" between endings not being a real choice whatsoever

[@PacoRobbins]

To be fair, in GTA III you got a fold out map when you bought the original way back in the day. When I was a kid I used it a lot.

[@DgkYogi]

21:31 “Ahg Lock” ? Lmao Nvm didn’t realize that’s what Lazlow calls him. Just noticed I never tuned into his talk show station

[@Mutantgamer]

I’m surprised you didn’t pick By the Book mission. The torture sequence is just massively unpleasant. Then again, when replaying it i just shoot the correct person ASAP so the torture is cut short.

Never found it to be that bad. It's actually one of my favorites because of the dialogue.

[@voiceunderthecovers]

Actual baby?

[@JojoThePelican]

Elon musk ahh... It's gta if that was unpleasant for you you should probably play something else.

[@jadedheartsz]

I think Death Row was way worse then G Spotlight (which was only kinda annoying for me)as you have to drive pretty much all the way across the map to save Lance's dumb ass within the time limit before he dies and once you get to the junkyard you have to deal with a shit ton of enemies around every corner with the most deadly weapons in the game that can easily kill you in seconds if you aren't armed to the teeth with full health and armor before going in and to make it all the worse you don't even get any money for completing the mission(aside from whatever money is lying around on the enemies you kill), Gun Runner is also a pain in the ass because of how tedious and frustrating it can be as you have to deal with infinitely respawning enemies on bikes constantly trying to kill you while making deliveries, pretty much the only feasible way to do that mission consistently is by driving a tank.

[@SirRectum314]

Unpopular opinion wrong side of the tracks is the easiest mission in the early campaign, when you get to San fierro and you have that dumb ass fucking mini gun RC plane mission for Zero… that’s hard

[@dj12699]

In both GTA 3 AND Vice City, I've failed Paramedic missions on late levels due to the peds running into my back wheel which apparently kills them. It's very annoying.

[@ThePlake0815]

Counter-argument FOR the ambulance mission: all odd-jobs in GTA's show the escalating difficulty of the game's missions in general. Starting with Taxi, which is the easiest (could start it, deliver one passenger and get another taxi to start again). Then Noodle delivery, which does not have as many levels, but requires to finish them all in one go. Then Fire Truck, which requires to watch out for the (biggest?) health pool of the service vehicle, as it cannot be repaired. Previous last to hardest is Ambulance, which not only requires you to (by now) know the map, but also watching out for your service vehicle's health, AND also know most (if not all) bribe pick-up locations. The hardest is definitally Vigilante, as it adds the issue of havig stocked up on Uzi or Rifle ammunition to effectively finish all 12 missions (yes: you CAN simply switch into another cop car, unlike with ambulance). All that prepares you for the escalating difficulty of the story missions, imo.

[@TylerSane5]

I wish they would still make GTA games in the 3-D era with upgrades and enormous maps!! Id for sure still play it and i bet other people would with how many people bought the defective edition!.

[@Stan_man]

I don't remember ever running out on fuel in Supply lines mission, not cd, digital or DE version. Always have well over half after final target.

[@st.paddymad7085]

Personally, the Snow Storm mission in GTA IV is THE WORST MISSION in my books, I will elaborate in a while. Also, I hope the kitty cat you were on about is getting better. Even if I am unable to donate, as a fellow cat owner, I send my bestest of wishes, our feline friends deserve our human compassion.

[@-THE_META]

Yeah, I think Robbing Uncle Sam is the worst mission in San Andreas. Lot of combat early in the game and the forklifts suck. And Ryder is bitching at you the whole time. And when you think you are actually done, there is a whole nother leg after.

[@NotKnafo]

i remember playing gta3 for the first time being surprised that the fire fighter and vigilantly missions are different from the other gta titles then checked the paramedic and... its the exact same, disappointment

[@RedHead97]

The part where u are surrounded in a parking lot and need to snipe all people in "The Exchange" in VCS also took me dozens of tries. ended up doing this part with a rocket launcher.

[@Skylar_T]

I hated that mission, ended up using a rocket launcher too.

[@negobranclim8640]

not related to the vid but damn does lcs theme slap

[@CrashHeadroom]

Weirdly, never had a problem with the VC RC plane bombing mission :S HOWEVER, used to hate the construction site one because the builders swarm you and take ya HP away in seconds :/, and the blades chopping at them ALSO hurts the damn thing, and every single one of them has a death wish, running RIGHT at them. So I often find myself having to attempt it twice :/. I could be wrong, but I have a theory on the yoga minigame as well. There are alot of yoga points in the map, and a lot of them seem to be on high places, I mean A LOT. I think they were to do with Mike's cut Alien DLC, something connected with it... because yeah as it stands, it has 0 point in the game as it stands but could have been linked to that ((as it's also linked to the mission where you get drugged, and? see aliens)).

[@YakovP.Kompelyar]

I don’t agree with you about the Photo Shoot and Have a Heart missions in GTA IV. These missions can be completed in a minute or less. In Photo Shoot, the bandits can be killed immediately, and in Have a Heart, you can simply turn over Elizabeta's Voodoo, for example, from an unfinished bridge to Bohan, and the mission will still be considered completed. Except that Niko won't get any money for the mission.

[@lmaoborghini5243]

Demo man is also pretty hard to do on keyboard

[@mccombo1512]

Burning desire wasnt even bad. If you have trouble with it your skills aren’t as good then lol

[@Tomica0009]

One of the main purposes of video games, especially back in the day, was to provide a challenge to the player. That's what the 3D era games did, presented you with a challenge, and it was up to you to overcome it. You couldn't just press a button to skip it. That's why most of the missions you listed as worst from those games are some of my favorites. They can be frustrating, sure, but it's a good kind of frustration, because you feel a sense of acomplishment when you complete them. And you know what's a bad kind of frustration? When you play a mission in GTA V perfectly from start to finish, and getting a silver/bronze medal at the end, because you didn't do an arbitrary task that Rockstar picked for you, and didn't convey the list of tasks to you at the beginning of the mission, making you play the mission again from the beginning if you want to hunt gold medals. And, also failing the missions because they are scripted as hell and you have no player freedom whatsoever.
