Irrational Annoyances

[Algonquin Assassin]

This is related to basically any mission which requires us to tail someone in a car. Why oh why are they always designed the same way where you have to stay back a few metres so they don't spot you? Think about the real world logic here for a second. If you were tailing someone in real life wouldn't it look pretty suspicious if you were the only car behind them and you left a sizeable gap behind them at a set of traffic lights?

 

Apart from getting too close you can also crash into other cars, run over NPCs, drive up footpaths etc and they don't notice lol. The only mission I can think of that does it with some common sense is Snail Trail in San Andreas because at the very least it has that Spook O Meter and from I remember it gives some lenience so you can sit right up behind them providing it doesn't set off the meter. It's still a bit flawed regarding real world logic, but it's better than similar missions.

I could write a whole post about everything that annoyed me in Vice City, but instead I'll say I'm still very annoyed that Johnny was murdered by Trevor and not Brucie Trevor murdered

You're allowed your opinion but why Brucie though? Unless you're talking about his Online counterpart.

To add to the thread, they way how in HD era games switching to a different weapon and back automatically reloads your weapon and does it faster than using the reload button.

Most 3D era tailing missions had a spook meter isn't it? I think only IV onwards it's not there but I may be wrong cause it's been a while since I played. 

 

Anyway you'll probably like this video

Possibly, but that was the first one that came to my mind.

Why thank you sir, I'm honoured 

 

Also one thing I'm annoyed by is Dwayne guilt trips you if you don't call him to hang out, bitch please I have other people to attend to

Well... Another irrational annoyance I have is how the sleep mode in IV doesn't prevent getting thumbed down by friends during long gameplay sessions.

 That in the Third Way after Lester's phone call, Trevor and Franklin have a scripted phone call if you switch to them but Michael doesn't.

This is RDR related but I felt like saying here if it's okay, I don't like Arthur Morgan for no proper reason. I haven't even played RDR2 and I'm sure Arthur deserves his position as one of Rockstar Games' greatest characters but, idk what it is but he annoys me lol. I generally don't like the saying 'a punchable face' but goddamn do I feel Arthur Morgan has one. 

 

To keep this GTA related, there was a point of time where I didn't like GTA IV and Niko Bellic much because of how loud the IV fanbase were on GTAF during that time which is kind of irrational I guess?

But it was me and my Liberty City Appreciation thread that turned you from a doubter to a believer.

I'm annoyed at how the M4 aims in III and Vice City, what a stupid aim function

[Algonquin Assassin]

Ok I’m sure this will make some laugh, but I honestly can’t stand it when people write “III”, “IV” and “V”.

 

While I get the short handed and abbreviated approach for writing Vice City, San Andreas, LCS, VCS and the Red Dead games because admittedly writing those out in full every time gets a bit tedious there’s just something about dropping the GTA part of the games above that irritates me.

In person if I was talking to someone about GTA IV and they kept referring to it as “eye vee” I would legit punch myself in the jaw. Sh*t’s more cringey than those stupid Fornite dances.
