10 Video Game Mistakes You Can't Unsee

6. Whiskey & Bullet Holes - Grand Theft Auto V

There are continuity errors and then there are continuity errors and let me tell you, Grand Theft Auto V has some big ones.

Part of me wants to let the game off lightly. It’s got a huge, winding narrative that wraps around three unique protagonists. Then you’ve got all the set pieces, missions and side characters. This is Rockstar we’re talking about, though, with the amount of workers crunching all around the clock, you’d imagine someone would have noticed these mistakes.

Let’s start with the small one. During the mission Reuniting The Family, Michael pours himself a glass of whiskey. Then, by the time he’s walked from the kitchen to the couch, his glass is practically empty. I understand he’s got drinking issues but come on.

The more intricate one is within the mission Cleaning Out The Bureau. Michael and Dave Norton arrive at a factory, later followed by Steve Haines.

Steve says hello and everyone acts like they’re all good buddies. Somehow, the writers of Grand Theft Auto V forgot that Steve literally shot himself in the leg a few missions prior. In the grand scheme of things it’s barely been a week, but this badass is walking around like it’s nothing.
