10 Video Game Features Literally No One Asked For

4. Flying Cars And Bikes: GTA Online

GTA Online has become an absolutely unstoppable behemoth of gaming. Whether or not it's for you, it's impossible to refute the appeal of GTA's mayhem made multiplayer, and it's a business model that has massively paid off for Rockstar.

Naturally, as a developer, they're going to try to keep the game fresh by releasing regular content and unlockables.

Rockstar have put out a lot for GTA Online that's given players plenty of reasons to keep coming back, and even in many cases, spend actual real life currency on getting the latest car, outfit or weapon.

But one update in particular was just a little too close to a slap in the face. At least, that is, for everyone who isn't a massive fan of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Los Santos was already filled with a variety of planes and helicopters that each had something to offer players looking to explore the skies above the sprawling metropolis, so Rockstar's decision to add cars and bikes that could also take to the sky felt particularly redundant.

The flying vehicles only served to remove GTA a little further from its roots, and felt like a cheap and uninventive way to add more content to the game.
