Top 5 missions from GTA 5 players wished they could have skipped

GTA 5, like every other Rockstar game, features its fair share of infuriating missions. Perhaps that is part of the reason why it is so insanely popular, even years after its release.

Video games aren't like any other kind of skill. If players don't lose a couple of times before nailing a mission, they basically lose interest and move on. What makes open-world games like GTA 5 so hard to get over is that players never really master them.

There is always another skill to learn and another tactic to hone. The difficulty of these games is exactly what makes them so unforgettable for players.

GTA 5, being one of the most popular games out there, doesn't go easy on players. While some missions in the game are extremely easy to grind (mostly beginner level), others are so frustratingly difficult. They make players want to reach through the screen and choke a few virtual goons right then and there.

This article looks at five of the most difficult missions featured in GTA 5. Players are advised not to go back to them unless they feel the itch.

#2 - The Triathlons

The Triathlons, in all honesty, aren't fun. Not when players have to fail like a million times before actually winning the darn thing. The Stamina Bar turns this mission into a nuisance. If players could skip one mission in GTA 5, it would undoubtedly be this one.
