10 Times Rockstar Almost Made You Stop Playing GTA

7. Amphibious Assault (San Andreas)

GTA and swimming have never gone together. Whether the instant death-bringing water of GTA III and Vice City, the pointless waterways of GTA IV or the sluggish submarines of GTA V, it makes you wonder why Rockstar keep trying to make water work.

Amphibious Assault only contributed to this disdain, tasking you with swimming - without being detected - up to a number of boats to off some targets. The problem was, you had to spend hours underwater away from the mission to "rank up" your lung capacity enough to get through it.

Millions of players soon discovered the "Oh, f**k this" reality of purchasing a sniper rifle and blowing the targets away from afar instead. A potential moment of "I love how much freedom I have", twinned with "This thing really is terribly designed."
