10 Insane Demands Games Made To 100% Them

2. GTA IV - Pigeons

GTA IV marked the transition of the franchise becoming more grounded and striving away from the ludicrous nature the previous entries took and Saints Row would later embody.

It was a complex and dark narrative portrayed in a gritty take of the classic Liberty City. Sure, it still had its moments of fun, but constantly reminded us that it was a series that had matured with its audience.

The checklist to complete the game to 100% had quite a few annoying tasks. Tricky stunt jumps and tracking down every random encounter were among a few of them. But nothing compared to those bloody pigeons.

GTA IV's collectibles consisted of killing those flying rats and I'm not talking about a handful of them. Nope, you were tasked to take down 200 of the things. You either needed to use an in-game website to see where they were or an incredibly comprehensive guide to find them all. I suppose you could try and find them naturally, but it would be enough to break your soul.

You got a nice helicopter at the end of it all, I guess. But the real kick in the teeth was the fact that it only counted towards 2.5% of the overall completion. Never again.
