Boo-urns Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 What are your stupidest mission failures? I actually managed to fail Mr and Mrs Bellic the first time (the wedding "mission" which is pretty much just a cut-scene). I got into a few unusually violent and unnecessary car accidents while driving Kate to the wedding, and the car caught fire. I got out, but she just stayed inside like an idiot, and died when it exploded. Mission failed.

Hmmm nice bike Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I remember when first doing "Waste Not Want Knots," I drove right over a hot dog stand with a propane tank on it I also capsized the boat about two or three times while doing "Buoys Ahoy" (kept on hitting the support beams for that pier on the beach).

JiM-4a2c Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 This is not a stupid faliure but irritating instead. In a mission, after an hour of gun fight, Roman and Niko entered a Bobcat like car I was on the road and i decided to change the car, so i stepped outta car.... suddenly a motherf*ckin truck driver hit Niko and killed him.. I mean i was like WTF dawg.. i barely had any health left. i really had to work hard to survive the gun fight. Now all i had to do was to drive Roman home.. Then outta nowhere a C*cksucker driving a truck comes and kills Niko..

Captain_Obvis456 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 The one that always gets me is the drug missions for Jacob. You have to drive pretty fast in order to get there under the highway before the time limit. Rockstar conveniently put a gas bottle right next to the turn into the alley so if you hit the wall while turning in there, you blow up. And I did, several times, lol. It's the closer one where the pigeon is or the beam above, not the one where that pigeon is on the ground.

AlexGTAGamer Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 On my first play of the mission "Buoys Ahoy" I failed 3 times. First fail was when I hit the stunt jump in the water in the wrong direction and the boat flipped over and drowned Bernie. Second fail was the boat was capsized after it was hit by a f*cking yacht! Third fail was when I hit one of those support beams underneath the pier on Firefly Island and the russian guys got away.

Boo-urns Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 I failed "Buoys Ahoy" a number of times too. That boat really capsizes easily. Each time I failed it I just accidentally hit a support beam or some other unmoving obstacle, and the boat systematically flipped over! lol.

DJAbacus Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Still in the early stages of the game so I'm sure there will be huge amounts of pathetic mission failures to come, but the most pathetic so far was a side mission when I was stood outside a dealers house with LJ......before we bust the door open I accidently shot LJ dead at point blank range with a shotgun...

Anasterian Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I remember my first playthrough of GTA 4, the very first one where i stopped at Deconstruction for Beginners because i just wouldnt go and buy armor or health before each try. And back then it meant i usually made about 2-3 cars explode on the way, lost nearly 50% health etc... Killed a few peds here and there....a small 4 star chase in between....a bit of bike crashing... And then i would enter without sniping those 3 guys at cranes. Generally it meant i would die every single time at the 2nd or 3rd guy. Time for the shameful part. I managed to fail The Cousins Bellic. I ended up in the water with Roman's Taxi.

uramet Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Not just me then. I must have failed Buoys Ahoy about ten times on one playthrough, clipping boats, clipping scenery. Never had something so straightforward become such a nightmare. At the beginning of Packies' first mission I decide we'd take a taxi, I hail one and it ploughs right into me then Packie starts shooting at it and the driver ran off. Hail another and am more successfull, we get in and I skip to destination, as I'm getting out some mad bitch in a blista drives into the side of the taxi I'm getting out off, and I'm dead.

Dwagginz Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Tunnel of Death This one had me in fits of laughter. I used the truck for cover and pulled out the rocket launcher.

Jimbatron Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Tunnel of Death This one had me in fits of laughter. I used the truck for cover and pulled out the rocket launcher. Went to the edge (Where the truck's engine was) and aimed at the cops. I pressed fire, and the screen went grey. Yep, I blew up the truck (And myself) with the rocket launcher. This mission can present a bit of a problem on the PC if you Max out the vehicle density slider. Basically, the extra cars can block the way out of the tunnel, and the gunfight is likely to frighten the drivers into abandoning them. This is compounded if once more Cops start to try and enter the tunnel through the traffic jam when you have to evade the 3 star wanted level. Even in the stockade, it can be difficult to force your way through. Once I managed to set of a chain reaction by raming a car until it blew up, blowing myself and everthing else in the tunnel to Kingdom Come. Time for the shameful part. I managed to fail The Cousins Bellic. I ended up in the water with Roman's Taxi. Lol - that's a good effort. Some times it can be fun to fail missions deliberately in certain ways because you can get a special cut scene. For instance, try destroying the taxi in "Its Your Call" and you will get one. There's also a large dollop of ironic humour should you lose the coffin from the back of the hearse in "Undertaker". There is also a special phone call to the ULPC is LJ dies in "Paper Trail", and a cutscene if you lose JP's offering in "Pegorino's Pride" Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/461091-stupidest-mission-failures/#findComment-1060206065 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mince Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I managed to fail one of the club management missions in BoGT by driving into a propane tank. I was driving Chloe Parker home, on the bridge from Algonquin to Alderney, and I accidentally swerved the car into a propane tank on the side of the road . Also, back when I first got the game, I failed a lot of missions by jumping off of buildings, because I hadn't gotten used to the fact that you couldn't unrealistically jump off buildings like in the III era, and I was too lazy to take the stairs/ladder.

Dwagginz Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I went a bit OTT for my next mission failure - Going Deep Let's just say I threw a few too many sticky bombs before N.O.O.S.E. had even arrived. They went bang, and I failed the mission before the main bit had even started! At least I was awarded Chain Reaction (An achievement I've been after for some time). I also failed one of the Club Management tasks by accident. When I had to rescue Clay Jackson from that alleyway, I decided to park my car in the alley (thus blocking him in), so when I tried to push my way out, I killed some of the paparazzi and failed it.

valo666 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Well I just finished the main story, and I have at least 3 stupid mission failures I can share. The first was during the mission Undress to Kill for Dwayne. I ended up having a car chase with one of my targets while I was extremely low on health. Of course during the chase I slam head on into another car, and fly out the windshield and die as soon as I hit the pavement. The next one I can't remember what mission it was, but it's by far the dumbest failure I had while playing. It was one of those missions where you have to kill a bunch of people just to get to someone else. So I decided instead of trying to have a gun fight, I'd toss some grenades and take out multiple targets at once. So I hide up against a wall and ready a grenade to toss, but as soon as I let it go it bounces off of something and comes back at me. You can probably guess what happens next. I nearly did the same thing during A Dish Served Cold when I reached my target , but luckily I didn't catch the full blast of the grenade and was able to get a head shot on my target to end the mission with my health so low I would have died in one shot. The last one probably isn't that stupid, but it was annoying enough to make me scream in frustration. During the last mission I got to the part on the bike where you chase Pegorino along the beach and you have to hit the ramp to get into the helicopter. As I get close to the ramp, I run into a barrel and slowed down so much I didn't think I'd make the jump. So I turned around a little bit to try and build up some speed, but I was too afraid I'd lose my target so I didn't go back very far. Of course I didn't make the jump and failed for crashing my vehicle. Even worse, once I failed I decided to go stock back up on ammo and get some more body armor before trying again. So I run out into a street looking for a car, and a car I never even saw not only runs into me but then runs over me killing me instantly. It wasn't during a mission, but running out into the middle of a street is pretty stupid.

Another one was, i can't remember what mission it was, i finished the hard part and had to drive to someone, i thought, i know!, i'll be clever and go through the subway on my bike, i got to the bit where there is some annoying fence in the way and the barriers and my bike tipped upside down and crushed me to death :@ I was so angry i almost killed someone!!

Redmanning14 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) This happened today on the "flatline" mission and it was so simple, but I kept dieing for the stupidest reasons, the worst one was when i got out of the hospital and I escaped in my car and i went throw an alley (i think it was by a bridge) and I fell off a building in the alley (small building) in my car almost at the end so i can proceed running from the law and i tip over and the end of the alley and of course there is some gas tanks that I ran into and blew up and it destroyed my life It angered me..... lol Edited December 4, 2010 by Redmanning14 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/461091-stupidest-mission-failures/#findComment-1060229977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
