GTA 5 on the PlayStation 5 should be a mostly fun experience, with the exception of a few missions.
This blockbuster game is known for its explosive action and memorable characters. GTA 5 will look even better on the PlayStation 5, with 4k resolution and various graphics modes. Next-gen consoles will have the best visuals to date.
However, the game isn't perfect, since more than a few missions can be frustrating. GTA 5 offers a vast open world experience, so players would rather do anything else but these missions. Whether it's time consuming tasks or sudden difficulty spikes, these moments can feel like a chore.
Hardest GTA 5 missions that PlayStation 5 players will not enjoy
5) Legal Trouble
Michael had to quickly run down to the airport to retrieve a stolen film. However, players will also have to put up with unwanted police attention.
The hardest part of this GTA 5 mission is losing the cops. What doesn't help is that helicopters seem to be everywhere. Players should definitely bring some body armor just to survive. Cops may occasionally spawn in front of them, which can be rather inconvenient.
4) Scouting the Port
To figure out which shipping containers he needs to steal, Trevor must perform a series of longshoremen jobs. It's easier said than done, since players must lift cargo boxes with a crane. They cannot damage the crates, or else they will have to start the process over.
Scouting the Port is often considered the most boring mission in the game, let alone the series. Whenever a player takes control of Trevor, one would expect exciting missions full of explosions. Instead, players have to put up with a rather lenghty job.
3) Exercising the Truth
The Epsilon side missions involve relatively mundane tasks. What makes it difficult isn't the objectives themselves, but rather how long it takes. For this particular mission, players must run around the desert for at least five miles.
Constantly using the sprint button can wear out the player's thumb, along with their patience. They also need to avoid wild animals in case they get attacked. Last but not least, players must wear Epsilon robes if they want to complete the mission. GTA 5 will not register their progress otherwise.
2) Did Somebody Say Yoga?
Michael has to correctly perform some yoga moves via button combinations. This annoying feature requires a lot of patience from the players. If they mess up, they must start over their entire set. Most GTA players want to blow up vehicles and not engage in breathing exercises.
Even worse, yoga doesn't give them any physical benefits. It's a pointless minigame that should've increased the player's stamina, yet it doesn't.
1) Triathlons
GTA 5 players will have to button mash through this snooze fest for a grand total of thirty minutes. By the end of the race, the player's thumbs will likely be very sore. The worst part is that they must get first place to get the gold medal. Otherwise, they completely wasted their time with this side quest.
