* {{Narm}}: There's the cutscene if the player fails the mission "Shifting Weight." Malc comments that he knew [=DeSean=] "since diapers." It ruins the tragic factor of the cutscene and turns it into something unintentionally humorous.



* ThatOneLevel: "Buyer's Market", which comes close to TheComputerIsACheatingBastard territory in terms of the amount of firepower Johnny has to overcome in order to survive. Made more vivid by the relatively easy "Blow Your Cover" level from GTA IV which is supposed to be ''the same mission'' but it's from a different perspective and in that one the player has backup, as well as a much less contested path. Fits the criteria for the trope as a number of players have complained about the level's difficulty on the boards (especially when compared to the GTA IV counterpart), while others have stated the mission isn't that difficult.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Was Brian in on [[spoiler:Billy's betrayal]] and simply lied about Johnny ratting them out? Or was he completely out of the loop and had a just cause to believe Johnny betrayed him? Given how he seemed on board with Johnny's plan it's probable that the former is more than likely true given Brian's hatred for Johnny, but coming back from the botched deal he seems unaware that it was a setup and come the TBOGT mission "Chinese Takeout" Brian is not with Billy when he is [[spoiler:arranging the deal]]. However his [[FaceHeelTurn Face-Heel Turn]] in "End of Chapter" shows he is more than willing to let other members die based on something he only had little evidence to follow through on meaning either way he's still a deplorable bastard.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Johnny is perhaps the most contested of the three GTA IV protagonists, many people do like the fact that he is a total badass, his relationship with most of his fellow members is well-liked, and that his background makes it easier to justify going around murdering people compared to [[HitmanWithAHeart Niko]] or [[TrappedInVillainy Luis]]. On the other hand, he is nowhere near as sympathetic as Niko or Luis thanks to doing a lot of hypocritical things after he becomes chapter president. [[spoiler:One thing universally agreed upon however is that his death in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' was considered to be in very poor taste to the character even considering the situation.]]
