Me talking about the Top 5 worst missions in GTA San Andreas. David Cross Original Interview: • David Cross Embraces t... Support me on Patreon: / theprofessional1994 Follow me on Twitter: / patrick21611
I didn't find Air Raid hard at all on the PC because it's very easy to Aim with the Minigun. Supply Lines and the last one(forgot what the name is) are just horrible, the default controls on the PC dont help ether.
Fun fact: Big Smoke’s accuracy on Wrong Side Of The Tracks is actually perfect, you just have to drive a little further away from train by being on the far right side of the other railroad tracks; in other words, the name of the mission is actually telling you why you easily fail this mission because you’re on the “wrong side of the tracks”
The most frustrating about Zero missions is that the difficulty doesn't match with the importance of doing these missions. Iirc these were just to introduce the property purchase mechanic.
big smoke aim was not that big deal actually. the real deal was the fact that vagos in train was the real bullet sponge. if you jump to train with bike, and shoot them, you can notice they are not your oridinary npc, but bullet sponge
Oh yeah that's like a really bad one. The car you get is abysmal at offroading plus it has terrible steering, i really don't like how it drives. And the map is very slippery
Another honourable mention is Photo Opportunity. Its driving halfway across the map to meet Cesar. To go on another long roadtrip to Angel Pine. Made worse by the fact you have to drive Cesars Savanna which is one of the worst cars to drive in the game You get there, take some pictures, then Cesar just dumps you at a petrol station and you have to make your own way back to San Fierro! No need for all that driving, especially if you're forced to do half of it in Cesars Savanna!
I think you were supposed to use a chopper in Photo Opportunity in early builds of SA, and I’m like, why the f*ck couldn’t you just made use a chopper?!
Supply Lines is actually different depending on the version you play on PS2 Fuel is basically a time limit it’ll keep draining no matter what despite you didn’t move or fly the plane itself which can led to some very frustrating moment while other version fuel drain based on what you do
This was interesting to hear, I played the game via emulation for a long time and it felt nearly impossible. Oh my second go it was the PC port and felt a lot more fair
I honestly never knew that a lot of players struggle with wrong side of the tracks. All I do is keep distance between me and the train. Literally at the edge of the track. Big smoke is a stormtrooper as he is. So, getting him close will only make things worse because 50% of the times he ends up shooting the trains instead of the vagos.
Or you can head to an alternate path with the bike and get ahead of the train track and shoot down the driver and the train stops ez and start killing off the vagos guys
Another thing that made Supply Lines even more of a nightmare back in the day was that, on the original PS2 version, the fuel bar depleted constantly even when you were stationary. So it was basically just a time limit. In later versions, they fixed it so that it only depleted when you were holding the accelerator down. That way it wasn't extremely unbearable for non ps2 versions, it was just fairly unbearable lol
I remember being like 9 years old and watching my uncle fail supply lines over and over. I would only understand his pain when I played through SA for the 1st time lol.
Ahhh the mission OG Loc. I remember me as an 8 year old. I assumed you had to kill Freddie while he was on his bike. Replaying the game a little older I quickly caught on that you don't really need to chase Freddie down you just need to follow him and then kill him. As a kid I literally spent hours chasing after Freddie trying to catch him.
I liked killing him before he got to the other Vagos. I lit up his bike with a MP5 as he waited for me up the hill so he still rode off while it was on fire.
Lolll yeah thats the annoying bit. Now after playing it forever I know where Freddy will be so I just skip some segments and get close enough to unleash tec9 on him
Tbh, it's probably one of the easiest missions in my opinion. (And nah, I don't get ontop of the train.) Instead, it's Catalina missions that's the hardest to me-
Pro tip: For the Driving School missions, turn on the Frame Limiter in the graphic options. Especially for the 2 wheel drift and car flip sections. Something about the frame speed can affect some internal calculations and mess with game physics like ragdoll animations, vehicle speeds, and the ability to swim. The same holds true in Vice City with the speedboat and ice cream truck missions.
I think some things are harder for me with that on so I turn it off, like that one I have to do 5 laps in less than 40 second (and like about 35 for gold)
This also affects diving soo frame limit is required For some dumb reasons, rockstar decided to calculate slowing down by fps soo higher fps = quicker speed decrease, this can be seen with bikes, you can compare the distance between where you stop and where you stop accelerate
@@Millu30 Frame rates affect QTE even in GTA IV. The final mission where Niko has to climb up a helicopter becomes impossible if the game is running at over 30 fps.
My hated mission was Toreno's Last Flight, because the enemy helicopter moves so fast that its hard for me to get a lock-on to the helicopter. And the worst part is that police always seem to run interference by stopping me from shooting down the helicopter.
@@MeeMeeCandy777 Someone compiled all the fail quotes along with the ones from other missions. Should be easy to find the video, has millions of views.
You can go to the shop using Catalina's Buffalo, get off the quad, enter the Buffalo and go. Also, the implemented way ( following them on the quad and shooting them yourself) isn't hard or too complicated either.
@@shonthacreator6146 It's sad that those would be the two people would go for because even they're relatively easy but I will give rockstar some credit. Online they kind of redeemed themselves with some tough heists that are actually challenging
When I was a kid, I use to have trouble with the "Zero" mission where you have to shoot a bunch on RC Aeroplanes to defend the radio towers. Now that I'm older, it's literal childsplay.
Intradiction is actually really easy to complete with the heat seeking missile launcher, the only hard part is dodging the helicopters coming down, I recommend the bandito for picking up the package that the helicopter drops, then going to the nearest pay and spray or off-road it till you reach the mission end
A lot of missions gave me a hard time and made me quit doing missions when I was in Primary school but when I started the game again in high school most of the missions were done in first attempt lol
Tip for the Interdiction mission if you already have the Heat Seeking Rocket: You don't have to get the RPG when the mission tells you to get. You can just continue the mission and have an easier time taking down the enemy Helicopters.
That is what I am doing too, I use the Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher to finish the mission since it has capability to lock on to the fast moving mavericks and it is much easier. If I have the Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher, I do not need to pick up an RPG and I am going to proceed as is.
With Supply Lines, I found it helps heaps if you land the plane close behind your target and don't shoot till the last second. Take the little extra time to aim while on the ground and let rip at their respective vehicles. By the time almost all of them can start shooting back, their vehicles are smoking anyway so just stay away far enough so you're not wiped out with them.
IMAGINE I PASSED THAT MISSION FIRST TRY IN MY ENTIRE 18 years and I was sooo shocked I legit passed it with 2 mins after the train started to get going ...
David Cross voices a character on the new radio station in GTA online (KULT FM), and he makes fun of it too. Talking about how he had to get equipment from a guy in San Fierro, and he say "he was a real zero".
I'm doing a 2nd play through right now and I'm surprised that I was able to beat zeros missions 1st try. Definitely remembered each mission taking multiple attempts.
N.O.E and Freefall are easily my hated and hard missions in SA. when I first played Zero's missions, at the time I hated his "supply lines" mission. but after so many practices and playthrough, I began to love Zero's missions. maybe its because they're Toys but deadly versions of them.
Here's some tips for each mission: *OG Loc* Don't attempt to kill Freddie on the motorcycle. He gets off by himself at a certain point and is easy picking. *Wrong Side of the Tracks* Don't follow the path the game seemingly wants you to. Most of the time Smoke can't reach the Vagos on that path. Focus on when smoke shoots to find the sweet spot and stick to that. *Interdiction* Find a lock-on rocket launcher. Skip aiming. *Air Raid* Pray *N.O.E.* Fly over the ocean. It takes longer but is 100x easier to stay low over. *Robbing Uncle Sam* You can actually stack crates on top of one another. Doing this will allow you to get two crates between saving Riders busta' ass. *Driving School* These challenges are actually a lot of fun in small doses. Complete one between each mission in SF and remember you only need bronze to unlock the garage missions. *Supply Lines* Land the plane when shooting for much better accuracy, show no mercy with those machine guns. When crossing SF let off the engine and glide at zero fuel cost. I hope these tips help! If you're still frustrated take a break and try some of the side missions. Things like import/export, burglary, and taxi can be a lot of fun in small doses and a perfect way to clear your head. GL
You forgot to add "Wu Zi Mu", "Farewell My Love" and "Flying School", lol. (Supply Lines) I have the original PS2 version, where you lose fuel even when gliding. I also have the re-mastered PS3 version, where this glitch doesn't happen.
Actually you can stick to the road instead of the short erratic paths that Freddy takes and still follow him and reach the Baseball court and take him out
@@MikeJohnMentzer Yeah I remember finding out as a kid since I failed the mission so much I was giving up driving back to Smoke's house and noticed I was still in the mission. But I find it way more fun to just chase him the whole way
Supply Lines becomes much easier when you realize that it gets difficult when you fire shots (because it scares the enemies and makes them flee and shoot back) if you line up your plane in a way that you can blast them from up close, they'll all be dead within seconds.
I actually use a strategy of landing the plane near my targets before firing, makes it a lot easier to control. The problem is getting back up in the air afterwards…
The main reason why this mission is considered borderline impossible is because it was on the release version of the game. When the game just came out on the PS2, the mission had 5 courier deliveries instead of 4, the Fuel tank was much smaller, and as a cherry on top you could not listen to the radio. After so many complaints, the developers released a patch version of the game that significantly decreased the difficulty of that mission. So if you play any of the rereleases such as the PC, Deluxe, PS3, etc. Versions, you're playing a much easier Supply Lines mission than the first players got to experience
It’s because when we were that young it’s pretty much all we had to worry about in life, apart from school. We could dedicate a lot of hours to this game and focus on it tremendously , particularly in the summer holidays. ✌️
I never got gold on flight schools but I was replaying it a week ago and I got gold in flight school in under an hour. You just have to not be a scrub lord
And it took me almost a year to finally get through I would fail multiple times, give up and maybe come back at it after about 2 weeks And at 1 point I decided to start the game from the begining😂😂😂😂
@@leonpaelinck using San Fiero highway helps too The only obstacle there is those lamps,but thats not too bad since you are still under the radars there
i actually like most of these missions and find them pretty easy. air raid is by far the hardest mission for me. and i hated the n.o.e. mission because it was so hard to keep the plane level and under the radar. supply lines is actually incredibly easy if you know how to do it. you fly to the location using as little fuel as possible. land and shoot the enemies. you can even sort of chase them while being on the ground. it is dramatically easier than doing it while trying to fly the entire time.
Here’s some tricks I use in some of the missions he talks about (I did all of these on mobile so I’m not sure if they work on other editions) In wrong side of a tracks there’s a glitch you can use, when you get on the bike, you can actually just drive on and not wait for smoke to get on the bike, then drive on the train, kill all the vagos, then get back to smoke. And in N.O.E, don’t constantly try to stay low, if you do get to high and your bar goes up to the max, it actually give you another chance to go low again, so just repeat the process until you get back to the hangar
The Freefall mission gave me fits. It took me sooo long to find the right intercept angle to get behind the target plane and fly that slow ass plane into the corona.
In the mission N.O.E. I figured out it's easier to follow the coast to the destination and then back the same way , to avoid trees and other stuff. All of Zero's missions are ridiculously hard. And wrong side of the tracks took me a while but you get the hang of it. just gotta stay somewhat close to the train and let Big Smoke do the work even tho he sucks lol... some of BS missions are hard like 'just business' and another one I just thought of that's pretty difficult is one of the casino heist missions in Las Venturas. I believe it's called Cop wheels.
Yes, most of them I struggled with as well. But I learned few tricks to do them. 1. For OG Loc, you need to get more smg ammo. There is Tec-9 on the roof of Sweet's house you can always get. Also, there is armor in the storm drain which is helpful as well. Now, in the bike chase part, you can shoot Freddy without taking too much damage making the mission a bit easier 2. the Wrong Side of The Tracks, well, as the mission title suggests, is the trick here. always stay right on the right track. This is important, cause if you are directly on the track, Big Smoke cannot shoot them and shoots the train instead. This trick has always worked for me and usually, we kill all enemies in 1st tunnel. 3. For Interdiction, it is luck-based in my experience. I just shoot the helicopter when they are stationary. Doesn't always work but there is no other way. 4. Air Raid. Well as you said, on PC is easy, so really dunno what to suggest here for the console. 5. N.O.E is pretty easy actually. You don't need to go to your destination directly. Instead, after take-off, go right and fly above sea. Then keep flying straight till you reach the end of the map and turn left and continue on the sea. Here it is straight to Angel Pine, drop the cargo and follow the same path back. There is enough time for it too so no need to worry about the clock. 6. Driving school, same here, I struggle too 7. Supply Lines. It is difficult and frustrating yes. But I do have some tips. Like you can actually glide to save fuel. I never have issues with fuel when I fly high and glide to the destination. The machine gun on the plane is auto-aim, so even if you seem to look off the target, it still hits. Now, the pattern to kill your target matters too. First, destroy the closest van. Then, go for cyclist nearby, then go Eastwards and destroy 2nd van. From there, you have to fly and glide to downtown. Your only limiting factor is fuel, so take your time. There kill the biker, from a distance. This is the only enemy that can deal the most damage. Then the final van is easy to destroy and return back gliding.
The real key to supply lines is that couriers don't shoot at you unless you shoot first, so land your plane really close to them, line it up perfectly and then just blast them. If you did everything perfectly they will blow up in like two seconds and almost don't have chance to shoot back
My personal Top: 5.- N.O.E 4.- Race missions in general 3.- San Fierro missions that force to go back and forth to the countryside (e.g Lure, photoprtunity) 2.- Driving school (specially the last test) 1.- Ryder missions, I don't know but I hate them all
@@btnhstillfireflight school isn't really hard. Aerial races were a pain in the ass, thank God they dont have a time limiter, because I would have never finished them
Not the gang war farming that you can technically do any time but you wait to the end because you'll lose the territory the moment the plot has you leave Los Santos?
I had a real treat playing your #1 during my recent replay of this game. I almost did it first try, but crashed the plane literally yards from returning it to Zero’s place. Then I failed it 15 more times before completing it (naturally).
Those missions/special mentions are definitely worthy of this video indeed, and a nice extra inclusion with the fact that Zero's voice actor even hates the mission!😮😂👍
Console yh what about mobile we had to use an analog stick istg i basially wanted to kill myself like i wanted to use buttons instead if analog bc it is sooo hard to control
While I partially agree with your list, the mission that gave me a lot of trouble is Freefall. Intercepting a plane that is faster than yours means you have to turn around at the right time, position and altitude to pass through the corona. If you mess that up, you cannot catch up with the plane of the „string quartet”. There's also Against All Odds, where you rob a betting shop with Catalina. You have a wanted level, you're on foot with the police after you, you have to steal a car that can actually be sprayed (so not a Police one) and you have to do it fast enough so that you and Catalina can enter it before it gets blown up.
Ice cold killa. Pissed me off so hard, kept blowing up my car, blowing up Jizzys car, kept getting smacked off the road, and its almost impossible to kill him without exploding the car. I HAD TO MAKE A TRAFFIC JAM AND THEN FORCE HIM OUT OF THE CAR TO WIN THIS MISSION I ALMOST BROKE MY PS3
Playing this mission with no cheat once. *LITERALLY* finished the whole chase game, but when I cross the road, Loc got oof-ed by a random car. I was like "Sweet mother of Sweet!"
The professional thank you for showing me how to get smoke to kill the vagos after hearing your tip i did the mission first try other then the other times
I actually did supply lines on a single try but god dang the frustration that it gives me is surreal that it made me pause the game a bunch of times everytime i lost the tragets because of slight tilt, i have to pause it for me to prevent punching the pc
I've failed a lot in Tanker Commander mission since you've to drive tanker with trailer connected on the narrow road ,Each time you turn the tanker the trailer will swing violently you need to keep position the trailer before get disconnect while Derek follow you and keep shooting at trailer
"Why do people delivering RC vehicle are equipped with SMG, I will never know..." Dude, this is America. People brings their pistols to the suoermarker to "protect themselves"
The secret to beating N.O.E. first time is you just fly around the border of the map, since it's just flat ocean. You can get to the drop point and back with plenty of time to spare.
I don’t know, I might just be really good at everything but I’ve never found “wrong side of the track” very hard, but holy fuck that mission where you need to drive away on that bike through the sewers with smoke shooting on the back of the bike, that mission was intolerable
What’s crazy is wrong side of the track used to be tough and then it became easy meanwhile the sewer mission was tough as hell, now I’m used to it but I get what you’re saying, I remember going through a streak of failing that mission😂
Honestly same if your like me i dont think we're good at the game. It's just I played this like 20 or 30 times so wrong side of the tracks is easy same with og loc. Just stay far right of the tracks and gain speed before the train speeds up. Dont chase freddy take your time he actually waits for you to catch up at certain points. Dont use the rpg on helicopters if they're far away it's to hard to lead them use the ak or sniper. The minigun on rc planes is probably the hardest especially on console.
The most frustrating mission...that one with the RC barron when you have a 5 minute time limit to fly around San Fierro trying to destroy 3 vans and then fly back and land on a rooftop it took me about 20 or 30 attempts to pass it well at least it felt like that many
I heard from other videos that they lessened the difficulty for Zero’s missions for the Xbox 360 and the Mobile versions by increasing the rc plane’s fuel. This explains why it seemed easier this time for me since I’m replaying the game on my Xbox 360. Still I managed to beat it on the pc version as well after several tries. What I usually do in this mission is I initially treat the miniature plane as a car that happens to also be conveniently equipped with an auto aiming machine gun. I usually drive the plane behind the targets and shoot them and then I fly back to the roof with plenty of fuel leftover. Why shoot from the air anyway when you don’t have to? It’s too hard and doing so only spooks the targets forcing you to chase them all across town. On pc I had about half while on the 360 I had about 65 or so percent left because I didn’t even get Zero’s warning that I only have half a tank of fuel left. And that’s my tip for getting through Zero’s second mission. I hope my fellow gamers find this helpful.
I didn’t have trouble with all these missions and the special mentions but, supply lines was so annoying because the rc plane is so weak and the controls is so bad
Bro I hated Interdiction and Vertical assault as a kid playing this. Those 2 missions literally brought me to tears as a 10 year old 😂. I’m glad you mentioned them Edit: OMG AND N.O.E !!! Torenos missions in general used to piss me off. I hated that man with a passion as a child😭
I've never had issues with keeping up with the train in "Wrong Side of the Tracks", but instead I had issues with overshooting the train because you go faster than the train, even with the speed boost
For N.O.E., I advise flying over the ocean by the sides of the map. There are no obstacles and you only have to be above sea level. For the wrong side of the tracks, Big Smokes aim is actually good, you just have to drive on the right side of the right track (basically outside the train tracks). He will be aiming for the Vagos better this way.
Robbing uncle sam was always a fun time. Not only is Ryder completely helpless against the soldiers, but the forklift controls are super clunky as well.
Even though they're apparently not part of the main storyline, though in the first mission that you get after completing the driving school in the mission Zeroing In, Kendal gets upset and is wondering when they're going to start turning the garage into a way to change their lives for the better, since they haven't done many missions to make the garage any better and they have only been using it for Tenpenny and Pulaski, and also to get information on Jizzy B, T-Bone Mendez, and Ryder to eventually kill all three of them, and when you do complete the Driving school lessons, then you'll be able to buy the Wang Cars dealership, compete in street racing, and once you complete Zeroing In you'll have access to a pretty cool mod shop at Ocean Flats in San Fierro to customize street racing cars so I do think the lessons in Driving school can count as a mission since they technically unlock missions which are a part of the main storyline.
The trick I learned with getting gold on City Slicking, is that you don't take the loop. You hit a perfect 180 and go back the way you came in, and it shaves a few seconds off. I don't even know if it's possible to get 1:39 on the loop route, which is what I think most people do.
