10 Most Frustrating Video Game Moments Of All Time

5. Supply Lines - GTA: San Andreas

Every single time a GTA game puts you in control of a remote control aircraft, you're probably better off snapping the disc in half than suffering what you're about to be put through. Not content with breaking everyone's spirit with the bomb defusal mission in Vice City, Rockstar doubled down on this gimmick in San Andreas while doing absolutely nothing to iron out the kinks that made that experience so nauseating.

Supply Lines was a side quest in Rockstar's last GTA of the PS2-era, and has gone down in history as an impossible test of might. You had to wrestle with the controls just to get the mini plane to fly correctly, and once you got the hang of that you'd then run out of fuel and have to try the whole thing over again.

Don't take my word for it? Even David Cross, the voice of Zero, the other character involved in the mission, hated it too, saying: "So annoying. I hated it. And I couldn't f***ing do it. The RC thing? It's impossible."
