10 Horrific 2013 Gaming Glitches That Will Haunt Your Dreams

5. The Flying Shark - GTA V

Grand Theft Auto games invariably come with a large number of breaks and glitches: no matter how exceptional they are in the end, it seems that no amount of development time can ever be enough to iron out all of the kinks and bugs, and GTA V was no different. In the latest addition to the behemoth franchise, which turned heads and made millions long before it was even released, Rockstar chose to add animals to shake things up (and make sure that the player could be killed mercilessly if they ever had the audacity to walk around mountain lion territory without their wits about them) and that addition lead to one of the greatest sub-games in GTA history. As players came to realise that sharks could be killed, they began to show off their kills, dragging sharks back to land that they had killed and posing for selfies as proof of their testicular fortitude. But then a glitch moved the goalposts and empowered the ocean's most fearsome creature with the ability to fly over land. The stuff of nightmares.
