3. Bike Collisions
Having first appeared in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, motorcycles are one of the most hasty and enjoyable ways to traverse the worlds of the series, allowing players to cruise between traffic with ease, fire their gun forwards in a manner much more accurate than a drive-by, navigate small gaps and perform death-defying Evel Kneivel-esque stunts. What is not enjoyable, however, is when a fast-moving motorcycle hits something such as a kerb, a pedestrian, a lane divider, an idiotic car driver pulling out at an intersection or any other small to medium-sized object that may litter the road, each of which is capable of sending the player character head over handlebars and all over the place like a human ragdoll. It probably makes sense; given that the player character neglects to wear either motorcycle leathers or a helmet for protection, but its rather disheartening to die as a result of a collision with a small bump after something such as a successful escape from the police.
