GTA 5 was released in 2013 and forever changed the gaming landscape in the best way possible. The developers poured their blood, sweat, tears, and hours into perfecting this project, and still relevant today. It speaks volumes about the talent that went behind this project and how it resonated with the gaming community.

While this game may have been a decade old at this point, not everyone has come around to one mission that got on their nerves, and frankly, not even one of the lead actors. Mission variety has always been the strong suit of the Grand Theft Auto franchise, but one mission pushed both players and one voice actor to their limits.

The Most Hated Mission in GTA 5 Was a Nightmare To Shoot

One of the best aspects of GTA 5 is that players can control multiple characters with unique stories and play styles. In the mission called “Did Somebody Say Yoga?”, Michael de Santa, played by Ned Luke, was encouraged by his wife to try this recreational activity to become less miserable. The objectives are straightforward, where players should follow the instructions on the screen with sticks and triggers.

This may seem like a time-consuming mini-game, but it wasn’t a fun one to film. According to Luke, he spent 8 hours shooting this part in the game, and it seems like he didn’t have to act to channel and show Michael’s frustrations.

It may seem easy on paper, but this mission is sensitive and has no margin for error. Even the slightest mistake will cause the player to restart the whole form. Luke added that he sweated for 8 hours in a motion capture suit, which can’t be comfortable while striking odd poses. GTA 5 has been out for years, and the consensus is that the majority of players weren’t fans of this mission either.

For trophy hunters, there is an achievement where you must achieve 70 gold trophies across the main and optional missions. This mission isn’t too long, but it can be physically demanding for controller players. Rockstar Games might have pushed its luck a little too far and has given Luke an experience to remember while filming one of the biggest games of all time.
