10 Video Games That Mock You For Trying Too Hard

Completing a game usually awards you with some fun new stuff. The practice makes even more sense if you manage to do a full 100% completion, but in Grand Theft Auto Vice City, your genuinely impressive feat is treated like the end of a really disappointing family trip.

Anyone who's played GTA Vice City and had to deal with its infamously buggy missions and wonky RC helicopter controls (never forget the pain of having to drag that atrocious thing around under a time limit) can attest to how difficult it can be to fully complete the game.

You not only have to deal with the challenges the developers planned, but also with plenty of unexpected obstacles in the form of glitches and programming errors.

It feels like an overwhelming effort to get 100%, but what is your reward?

A plain t-shirt with poorly cropped text saying, "I completed Vice City and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."

Rockstar didn't even bother to make the text fit better on the model!

This reward, whilst obviously being self-aware, is still lousy indeed.
