For me it's any mission where you have to race or when you chase and/or shoot somebody on a motorcycle.
Also the last part in the last mission in 4 where you have to chase that dude in a helicopter. It's so hard to pilot the helicopter that you end up having to stay above him and try not to hit any buildings (which is hard as hell by the way).

Any missions involving racing, helicopters, boats, or timed missions..

Flight school in GTA SA is only a pain in the ass because I'm anal about my stats. In order to have flight school count as one mission attempt, you have to beat it in one sitting. That means passing every single mission in one sitting. If you leave, it counts as another mission attempt (and I can't have that on my game!) so you're pretty f***ed if you're like me. This wouldn't be so difficult if a lot of the missions didn't just outright kill you if you f***ed up. The good thing is that you could go back and try for the gold medals later if you wanted without it counting against your stats. Also the bullshit thing about getting the Gold medals is you get a Hunter which only shows up half the time because you unlock that other heli later (the one with the magnet that doesn't even work!) spawns in that place.
I'd have to say that driving school was tougher getting the gold medals, but the fact that you weren't presented with DEATH was a bit of a relief.
Also dating the girls was annoying because they were never f***ing home.

That said the paparazzi mission in GTA 3 with the boat was incredibly difficult when I was younger and I still haven't beat it. I really should go back and finish that , just to see if I can get through it. Literally took me years to do that mission. Like, I got the game when it came out, got stuck on that, just before Vice City came out, thought I'd try again, fired a rocket from the pier, killed him with ease!

The mission in SA where you had to load boxes into a van using a forklift while Ryder fought off the National Guard. He was completely useless, would usually get killed, and I only managed to pass the mission by spawning a tank and blocking the stairs to stop the soldiers getting too close.

It's easy if you load a box, get out, shoot the guards attacking Ryder, wash, rinse, and repeat.

I'm currently stuck on 'The Other Side of the Tracks'. You'll get it eventually. Even if it takes 100+ attempts, which it surely will.

I remember having a ton of trouble on the Vice City mission you had to save Lance

I hate any race or pursuit mission where they give you the most unstable, slow and crap vehicle imaginable, and person you are chasing always has the best one, with perfect handling.

I hated 'Taking the Peace' from GTA: Liberty City Stories.
Trying to keep that car from exploding while driving through those columns was a pain in the ass.

I could never finish any of the Zero missions in San Andreas. Or the final mission where you had to catch CJ's brother in the car while he was hanging on the back of the fire engine.

That GTA III mission where you had to get a bomb rigged in a car, drive it back to where you found it without getting a scratch all while on a timer.

I'm very surprised people had such trouble with Supply Lines. Be lucky you didn't likely play Quarry level 7.

I'm currently stuck on 'The Other Side of the Tracks'. My solution to this was to leave Big Smoke behind, take off ahead of the train to this wall that was running along side the tracks, climb up on it, then jump onto the train as it came by. Made the mission a piece of cake. ::thumbs up::

The toy helicopter mission. It probably took me over a hundred tries to beat it.

The mission that I couldn't beat that I hated the most in SA is the one where you had to hijack the cop motorcycles and drive them and put them on the Packer in under 12 minutes. I don't think I ever got more then 2 at any time.

I just remembered this, but Ambulance missions in GTA 3 were ridiculous. Either you had the foresight to complete them before you get access to Staunton Island, or they were impossible. You couldn't do them in Portland because of the Mafia and their god damn Shotguns, you couldn't do them in Staunton Island because the injured pedestrians would spawn in areas outside of the Ambulance's reach, and you couldn't do them in Shoreside because the time constraints are unrealistic compared to the layout of the island.
