1. Supply Lines (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dtpia-apns It seems weirdly ironic that in a series of games which see you rob banks, get into desperate car chases with the police and kill countless mobsters with your bare hands, by far the hardest mission should involve using a remote-controlled plane to undermine the plans of a nerdy electronics specialists arch-rival. C.J and indeed all of GTAs protagonists risk their lives time and time again en route to seizing better lives for themselves but the most difficult challenge comes when your well-being isnt even on the line. However, Supply Lines is hard to the point where for a long time many believed it was unbeatable and is unquestionably deserving of its place on the list. Zero tasks you with using the RC Baron to eliminate five of his rivals couriers before they make their deliveries or far more frustratingly before his treasured plane runs out of fuel. The plane is not only incredibly difficult to control but also lacks the durability to take much in the way of impact one crash too many and the plane will explode and youll be forced to restart all over again. Though the problems faced by gamers on Supply Lines are many, by far the most troublesome is the restrictive fuel. You have to gun down five independent targets and managing your fuel effectively enough to get the three vans, Sanchez and BMX before your tank is dry is a tall order. The only saving grace of Supply Lines is that as with all of Zeros missions its optional so it doesnt get in the way of the main narrative. This didnt hurt the mission from being a painful thorn in the side of GTAs many completionists in the end Rockstar were reportedly forced to reduce the difficulty when they rereleased San Andreas in the Greatest Hits series. WhatCulture Tip: Fuel consumption isnt dependent on time but usage so always glide when feasible.
