10 Video Games That Secretly Get Harder Without You Realising

GTA: San Andreas earned acclaim upon its release for how dynamic its world was, and the way the various activities you could do in the game had an impact on the player character, CJ. But there's one hilarious instance of this that can all but bring your entire playthrough to a screeching halt.

See, you can eat at restaurants in San Andreas, and if you eat enough food in one sitting - like eating around 10 or so pizzas at Well Stacked Pizza - you can actually make CJ gain weight.

However, this introduces a new problem. Since this is the mid-2000s when fat shaming was still seen as prime comedy material (and to be fair, unlike Big Smoke, CJ isn't exactly pulling off the look), multiple missions become locked off when you're a huskier gentleman. Some even play a unique cutscenes where everyone laughs CJ out of the room.

Fortunately, the fix for this is simple. Just wait 48 in-game hours without eating, and CJ will slim back down. But that is quite a lot of out-of-game time to faff about, waiting for your waistline to "reset".
