Whether you play GTA Online or ran through GTA 5‘s campaign, here are a few things that hardcore fans hate about Grand Theft Auto.

Mashing A to Sprint

In just about every other game out there, you either hold the A button (if you’re on Xbox, of course) to sprint or just press in the thumb-stick once. For some reason, Grand Theft Auto wants us to mash the A button continuously to do so. It would be one thing if this was the norm ten years ago – though there are plenty of games that didn’t do it even then – but it’s 2016. Mashing A to sprint in GTA Online just gets tedious after a while.
