Hardest: GTA Advance 

Easiest: GTA 5

Hardest I've played - GTA 1. You die in one hit if you don't have armour, and there's no Ammunation to buy armour or weapons, you have to find them. Also the fact that you can't save in between jobs, as well as the tank controls when on foot. I've heard London 1961 is harder though.

 

Easiest I've played - GTA Advance only has one really hard mission (Smackdown). The rest can be beaten fairly easily. LCS and VCS were also pretty easy.

Hardest:

GTA III - whether this game was such a bitch because I was young or because of some of the ridiculous missions or controls I don't know.

 

Easiest:

V - everything has already been said about why.

SA - including this as V is such an obvious answer I wanted to include a 3D game. Both III and VC gave me some trouble with a handful of the missions, whereas I found SA to be a breeze compared to them.

Hardest for me would be IV due to the sensitive driving mechanics

 

Easiest would be Liberty City Stories

 

I've not played any of the 2D Era games, so I can't comment on them.

The hardest thing I've ever experienced in any GTA game was getting all gold medals in Chinatown Wars. The time requirements for gold on story missions basically require you to break the conventions of the game and make use of unorthodox shortcuts and exploits. I spent a week replaying missions over and over to get gold on every one. Compared to how easy the game itself is and how easy the gold medals in RDR and V are it was a surprise. 

 

In terms of basic design the 2D games are the hardest. Advance is generally easier than 1, London, and 2 but some of the rampages are insane. I don't find III hard at all but the primitive 3D engine and clunky controls probably throw people who aren't used to it off.

 

San Andreas and V are tied for being the most piss easy games in the series. The only thing hard about those games is trying to find where they hid all the quality content.

It's a shame we can only give one like per post because this deserves more than one simply because it speaks the truth. Well done sir.

Basically each release was easier than the previous one. This means III is the hardest and V is the easiest. Though I haven't played the top down ones. 

 

III>VC>SA>LCS=VCS>IV>V

Hardest: Vice City Stories on PSP.

 

Easiest: GTA IV (I wanted to say GTA V but since I have failed so many missions because of how scripted they are I guess it is a slightly more difficult game)

[perennial 922]

Hardest: Vice City Stories (PSP) was surprisingly challenging. I can't really judge the top-down ones though.

Easiest: GTA V, I wouldn't count some ridiculous fail states as a genuine challenge (e.g. leaving the main road in Ludendorff...). GTA IV comes second to me.

[Copcaller 281]

Easiest- gta v due to auto regen health and skip mission feature

 

Hardest- 3

[JayKed20 83]

Easiest - GTA 5

 

Hardest - Either Vice City Stories or San Andreas

2D and 3D games have that old school appeal, where it was important for a game to have some form of a challenge in order to draw players attention and developers knew that back then. These games aren't based on their dufficulty, far from it, and 2D ones were even trickier because of bird's eye view - techical sense though - which I personally never liked, but it has its charms.

HDU games are child's play, despite being more serious in tone. Honestly, every AAA game developer seems frightened to incorporate any kind of challenge or skill based gameplay, since that doesn't go along with microtransactions. It's all about instant gratification. Who has time to spend few days (or hours, even worse) figuring out how something works. Shame.

Hardest - I'm actually going with GTA 2 here, each mission will take me several attempts and I don't know if I'm just bad or something but I have a really difficult time with this game

Easiest - Vice City. All the missions are extremely easy but still fun to play, although the only mission I find difficult is the RC one - only because I find it difficult to get through because it's boring as hell 

[José_Sócrates 103]

Hardest - GTA London 1961, it's not even a question.

 

Easiest - GTA V, I think features like superpowers, mission skips, and regen make it objectively the easiest.

[Steathshadow36 3]

The 3-D era f games are always harder for me, but easiest for me is GTA V

[TheerT 399]

Hardest: GTA III.

Easiest: either GTA VC or GTA V.

[Max.pain 224]

hardest: gta online, i was surprised this game has even more hardcore shootouts than gta 3 and liberty stories and most missions have long shootouts.

easiest: gta san andreas, for some reason this game was too easy after gta 3 and vice city. i believe it is because it really improved general movement and controls

[Tyche 29]

Hardest: GTA III

Easiest: San Andreas
