Dunno why GTA always has to include one hideously difficult mission (at least) but there it is. The controls are maximally difficult for that fucking helicopter, especially since my keyboard has no number pad. :(

I hate the fucking timer on the RC mission. Seven minutes to basically learn a new goddamn game -- it's fucking RETARDED. Guys who have had real, physical RC helicopters for years still find that they produce a digger now and then. And these assholes at Rockstar are cool with bringing their game of rampaging, senseless violence to a screeching halt in this manner.

In addition to killing the guards with the blades, you need to "practice" by doing the run over and over again before you touch that first bomb. Well, Christ, there's no way anyone thinks like that off the bat in a game like GTA:VC. If I wanted to engage in meticulous planning and faggotry detail I'd go play the same underfunded and underexposed RTS game that has seemingly been reviewed in each issue of CGW for the last 8 months. But why even bother to have the timer there when the only way to get good enough at running the copter is to not set it off?

VC is better than GTA3 from what I've seen so far because the use of timers as sko lame attempt to increase "replayability" is severely lessened, but they need to get rid of them completely for the next one.

Also -- Jesus, bud, what kind of keyboard are you running with that doesn't have a number pad? Big blue eventually came out with a replacement for the ol' chiclet style one, y'know. It's not wireless, but it's all right otherwise. I'll hook you up.
