What are the most depressing missions in GTA?

Bringing the house down from LCS.

 

Commit domestic terorism is depressing enough for me as player.

For me, it's the Hot Dog Homicide! mission given by the Russians in the Industrial District in GTA2.

In this mission, you have to find a bus stop, steal a bus and get at least 20 people inside. Then you drive them to the R.S. L. Bows meat factory where you watch them getting on a belt and turned into hotdogs. And finally you jump into a hot dog van and deliver it to the Kovski Diner to feed the hungry Russians.

The mission is a little different from the PS version, where it's called R.S. L. Bows! and instead of having to find a bus by yourself, you'll be picking up a Krishna Bus and filling it up with Krishnas (Krishna is the Russians' rival gang). The rest is the same.

Oh boy! Where do I even start?
 

Light My Pyre in VCS is pretty depressing because of Louise Cassidy-Williams’s very tragic death.

 

Bringing the House Down from LCS is too. I mean, it feels a bit out of character. Even for someone as heinous as Toni Cipriani.

 

The Green Sabre from SA is pretty darn upsetting too. Think about it. CJ literally loses his two best friends named Ryder and Big Smoke. Plus, his brother gets arrested and he’s all on his own once he gets captured and taken to a remote area.

 

And of course, both endings to GTA IV, the killings of both Dwayne and Playboy X, the killings of both Derrick and Francis, and the ending to TLAD.

Supply lines and Freefall from San Andreas and bleak is a weak word for those 2 crappy pieces of $hit.

Green Sabre & Pier 69. :(

 

Light my Pyre but the more I think about this mission the less painful it gets

 

Roman dying in GTA 4 (if you're sick enough to let him die) is also really depressing

Off topic, but I always wondered what happened to Roman's assassin in Revenge.

 

I like to think he was murdered by Luis on Bulgarian's plane.

For some reason 3D era games don't have an emotional effect on me lol

 

Rigged to Blow (due to opening cutscene)

Roman's Sorrow

The Holland Play (killing Dwayne)

Tunnel of Death (hate Derrick for obliging me to kill poor old Aiden O'Malley)

That Special Someone

Mr and Mrs Bellic (either version) and A Revenger's Tragedy/Out of Commission

 

Roman's Holiday (has humour but is very disturbing and sad to me)

Coming Down

Get Lost

 

Mr Philips

By the Book

Hang Ten

The Time's Come

Something Sensible

Bonus: the Damaged Goods strangers and freaks mission with Trevor's mother

Damn i forgot about Aiden O Malley. That one should have had a spare/kill scene, with Aiden later appearing at some San Andreas retirement home in GTA 5.

I know right? I hoped at least it would be done "Of Mice and Men" style just shooting him in the back of the head as he looked out over the ocean but no it had to be cruel! Always a big influence on my Blood Brothers decision. One thing I like is that in RDR2 one time when Dutch needs to use a fake name he declares "my name is Aiden O'Malley" lol. Such a random choice of character to pick for a reference/easter egg, I like that he got a tribute after I felt so bad killing him.

 

Reminds me of another IV mission that should be on the list: Flatline. Damn that was evil.

Me too but the way I saw it, he just doesn't appear in that route does he?

I wouldn't like to think he died if he didn't go ahead with it.

We’re talking GTA here, but they did the depressing stuff much better in Red Dead.

No offense but:

OT: The "Ransom" cutscene at the end of the "S.A.M." mission in GTA3 is slightly depressing. The way Miguel is impaled with Asuka's whip/"stick" thingy and Asuka is already dead by the time Claude finds her feels kinda "sad"-ish to me.

Given what's happened since March 2020 I think Flatline has just aged really badly.

Was going to say this. That mission was the reason I picked option A on my first playthrough, Trevor drove me up the wall throughout, I thought he was annoying before but that just wrote him off for me.

The only GTA games I played are VC, SA, IV, TLAD and, TBoGT so I'm only listing missions from those games.

 

VC- Keep your friends close

SA- The Green Sabre

IV- Mr and Mrs Bellic (Roman's Death)

TLaD- Get Lost

TBoGT- I don't remember any depressing mission

I always thought Have A Heart was pretty depressing, as annoying as Manny was, he was hilarious and didn't deserve to die like that, man.

GTA 4 definitely had it's share of bleak moments but everyone mentioned that already. Vice City Stories had that one mission where i actually felt bad when i played it first time back in the day but again someone already mentioned that.

Well, at least he got to help the streets, he didn't even need to keep an eye on them.

Well it looks that Debra shot Floyd and Trevor killed Debra. According to Weasel news.

Is kinda interesting, that it keeps mystery and gives you freedom of choice.

This belongs more to the headcanon topic but I believe in the Revenge ending he died in a car accident whilst trying to come to the Platypus.
