10 Video Game Side Missions That Made You Feel Cheated

1. A Starlet In Vinewood - Grand Theft Auto V

Grand Theft Auto V features two side missions where the main objective is to find fifty collectible items hidden in Los Santos. One rewards your efforts with a glowy space car, the other with an unsatisfying conclusion resolved inside a two-minute-long cutscene.

The stranger mission called "A Starlet In Vinewood" requires Franklin to find fifty letter scraps related to the murder of young actress Leonora Johnson in order to find her killer and bring him to justice.

As you can imagine, looking for tiny letter scraps in the massive map of Los Santos is no easy (or satisfying) task. They're ridiculously small, and even though you can use your dog Chop to help with the search, some scraps can only be accessed via a helicopter or a boat.

When you finally collect all the scraps, you get to confront Leonora's killer, an eccentric film maker named Peter Dreyfuss. And this has to be the most anticlimactic thing you'll ever experience in GTA V.

The man barely acknowledges his actions, and you can't take your time making him pay for his crime, as the game will let him escape if you take too long!

Sorry, Leonora, but there truly is no justice in the world.
