10 Times Video Games Made You Feel Bad (For No Good Reason)

3. Wanting To Play The Main Game - Grand Theft Auto IV

As much as everyone loves messing around in the vast world of Grand Theft Auto, the primary joy of the game is its main plot. The series has long provided high stakes robberies and car chases balanced with lively stories that leave you wanting more.

They also, however, have side missions, and things to do outside of your main focus. This is cool in most of the series - aside from GTA IV, where it can get really annoying.

Because more often than not in the game, you'll be bustling your way towards an exciting and integral part of the plot, only to get a call from a friend asking you to meet. So just meet them after, right? Well it's not quite that simple.

If you ditch plans in order to do main missions, you'll find your friendship with whoever you ditched gets a little worse. If this happens one too many times, said character will fall out with you, refusing to do things for you because they feel slighted.

In short, if you want everyone happy you'll find yourself breaking away from the main story at crucial moments to play a petty bowling minigame for the sixteenth time, just so you don't have to feel the guilt of upsetting an AI character.
