At least Vice City had fun missions like dropping bombs in trashcans with the world’s most fickle RC helicopters

"fun"... yeah, not exactly a word I'd use to describe that mission.

Not sure if they fixed it in the PC port, but I enjoyed it when I played it last. I think I failed the mission only once, if at all?

I imagine they reduced the number of enemies or their aggro range, or raised the timer by a ton

That's San Andreas. I loved all their missions and even though they also could be reduced to only, driving, flying and shooting they all felt distinct and memorable.

Invading Madd Dogg's mansion and stealing lyric book and delivering it back OG Loc who had a party in your hood was fun. Stealing jetpack for a hippy, burying alive someone in construction site while they are in portable toilet, doing heists with Catalina, all that was fun.

I can't seem to recall a single GTA 4 or 5 mission / moment truly memorable besides the line "Causin, let's go bowling". Maybe it's all related to when I played SA and probably my memory was better then.

Your memory may indeed be a bit flaky, because that mission (demolition man) is quite definitely from Vice City :)

I agree with the sentiment of your post though

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Thought you meant New Model Army mission which also feature RC heli, bombs and barrels :)

I remember not knowing how to activate magnet and thinking that mission is impossible.

I suckered at that mission.

Yet went great flying helicopters later.

Would try again
