Which Grand Theft Auto game has the most annoying NPC drivers?

We have all experienced this at one point. You are doing a mission or driving your new sport car that you just took out of the garage, and then some dumbass NPC driver just fishtail in front of you or ram your car off the road and damage it or even flip it.

GTA San Andreas PC version. 

At least classic GTA SA, don't know about definitive edition.

All of them lmao, in every 3D era/HD era they swerve into your lane at the last second when you're doing 100 up a freeway. San Andreas was super annoying at times, but IV always annoys me how several cars will all cut across lanes in succession on the bridges. V has that annoying AI that is programmed to get in your way. The faster you drive, the more broken the AI becomes. It's all part of the charm of the games though lol, a small price to pay.

Online.

 

They get in your way on purpose, with the most conveniently sh*tty timing possible, and because the physics are rigged against you, you won't have the pushing power to just get rid of them unless you're in a ramp vehicle.

San Andreas. The highway is a disaster. Aggressive drivers can also be annoying. If you are using sirens then NPCs will stop dead in their tracks if they are in the middle of a turn which just obstructs your path.

Yep, the drivers in Online are f*cking terrible. They swerve into all the f*cking time. I remember reading on reddit, they are supposed to swerve away from you, but I'm guessing someone f*cked the coding up and have them swerve into you instead. Hell you have NPCs that try to hit you even when you aren't even on f*cking road and drive off of bridges to try to get you.

 

And don't get me started when someone shoots at you and then a moment later a car comes in and aims directly at you from behind.

 

f*ck the drivers

I gotta agree and say all of 'em, but it's particularly bad in the 3D games (Definitive by extension as well) because when they suddenly swerve or decide to turn a corner, the animation is suuuuper jerky and quick. You have like no time to react. In VC and SA, riding a bike at any kind of serious speed is an exercise in pure frustration.
