I beat GTA V drunk. The toughest part was the stock market.

The problem with the grand theft auto games is that they're mostly only hard because of being frustrating and not because they're actually challenging

Last time I played San Andreas, I got to the end of the game, then offered my fiance a turn. Almost immediately she died and then the hospital tutorial played.<br><br>I didn’t even notice I beat the game deathless.

The fact that you can literally skip parts of the missions in V makes the game incredibly easy. So I’ve put it in the 1 tier. Also: health regeneration.

the challenge in GTA games prior to 4 comes down to how willing you are to put up with the tedium of driving to the mission location after you've failed said mission... multiple times

Honestly 4 had the best difficulty <br>Wasn't easy but wasn't poorly designed and unfair

VCS has two of my personal favorite missions in the GTA series despite the game’s difficulty (the zombie mall shootout and the mission where you protect Phil Collins)

No way gta 4 is as difficult as gta vc and sa, gta 4 is more difficult than gta 5 but way easier than the previous games, you don't lose your weapons when you die, the controls are better, there's a cover system and you can immediately restart the missions when you die, these things make the game so much easier

The Sharks alone in VCS would put the game at a 4 at minimum 😂. They'd just insta-melt you with those 3-man-high MP5k lazer beam Ranchers. You had to plan your every move when dealing with them.

As someone who played the original Grand theft Auto back in the day when it was fresh, I would have never expected the series to get as big as it was. The controls and balancing were absolute crap even for the time
