Why does every good game have this HUGE con that ruins the whole game?!?! Like seriously, Zelda: Skyward Stress with Motion Controls, Super Lag Bros for Wii U with being too lagy , Grand Theft Loading V, Spla-novoicecha-toon with no voicechat, and Mario LUCKart 8.

All of these cons could be EASILY avoided.

Why Racing ruins San Andreas:  

You EASILY spin out! Touch a pole YOU SPIN,  Crash a person YOU SPIN, Touch grass YOU SPIN,  Touch oxygen YOU SPIN. 

You EASILY flip over

When you flip over your vehicle explodes(what kind of logic is that?!) and the mission ends... AND you HAVE to go ALL THE WAY back to the start and deal with these crappy controls.

You have to do a cheat to turn off traffic to make these missions less stressful for yourself. You can't use a fast vehicle for some unknown STUPID reason,  and there's NO checkpoints whatsoever. If you die you have to do it all over again. This is what ruined the whole game for me and I WISH there was a skip option to skip these poorly designed missions. This game doesn't deserve a  9.5 ratings, it deserves a 7.8 TOO MUCH FUCKING RACE MISSIONS.

I agree they sucked but don't think they sucked so hard that it ruined the game. Racing missions in GTA should be optional imo. They're too buggy, too full of random chance... they're more luck than anything and that's what makes them so frustrating.

What I use to do on those PS2 versions is get a rocket launcher, wait for the race to start, and then blow the fuckers away. Then, get in my car, and slowly hit the check points for the easy win lol.

Git gud.

Ah, yes, these are the kinds of stunts I missed in GTA5. "Oh, a race? Fuck that, lets just park a firetruck on the start line and go to work with a tank."

EXACTLY lol. GTA, for as good as it is now, really lacks in the whole arcade, goofy humor aspect which made those PS2 games so much fun.
