History HateSink / GrandTheftAuto

** Ryder is a complete asshole to CJ, [[spoiler:and becomes increasingly petty and envious even though he's already aligned with the Ballas. The fact that Cesar's dialogue (in the mission "Yay-Ka-Boom-Boom") implies that Ryder wanted to rape Kendl only makes him even worse (although nothing indicates that there is such evidence of this).]]

** [[spoiler:[[AxCrazy Peter Dreyfuss]]. An absolutely deranged actor who killed a young woman in an extremely twisted way. When he is finally confronted by Franklin, [[DirtyCoward he just runs]].]]

** Stretch. He has no characterization outside of being a pathetic SmugSnake who thinks his big-shot status in the families means he controls Franklin and Lamar's lives.

** [[spoiler:[[AxCrazy Peter Dreyfuss]]. An absolutely deranged artist who killed a young woman in an extremely twisted way. When he is finally confronted by Franklin, [[DirtyCoward he just runs]].]]

** Surprisingly enough, Catalina (who, unlike her ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIII'' counterpart, isn't portrayed as an antagonist in this game) is actually even worse than the previous three examples of this game. She's incredibly [[AxCrazy psychopathic]], [[HairTriggerTemper threatens to murder CJ over minor mistakes]], [[MoodSwinger cannot seem to make up her mind on whether she likes or hate CJ]], [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder shows no loyalty towards the ones she works with whatsoever]], and is just an [[SpicyLatina overall]] [[{{Jerkass}} cunt.]] Seriously, she makes the three aforementioned characters in the game look far more sympathetic.

** [[spoiler:Big Smoke]] don't really count. His [[AffablyEvil affable nature]] and [[spoiler:[[HeelRealization understanding of his evilness after his downfall]]]] makes him sympathetic enough, at least in comparison with Ryder, who definitely deserves the HateSink to an extent, at least [[spoiler:following his betrayal.]] Not only is he a complete asshole to CJ, [[spoiler:he becomes increasingly petty and envious even though he's already aligned with the Ballas. The fact that Cesar's dialogue (in the mission "Yay-Ka-Boom-Boom") implies that Ryder wanted to rape Kendl only makes him even worse (although nothing indicates that there is such evidence of this).]]
** [[DirtyCop Officers Tenpenny and Pulaski]]. A duo of sadistic cops who love to intimidate CJ everytime they find him. Actually, they have no redeemable traits whatsoever.

** [[spoiler:Dimitri Rascalov. As the storyline progresses, he becomes increasingly hateful and cruel, culminating with the [[DownerEnding Deal Ending]] and expressing sadistic joy at Roman's death. Of course, this fact can be avoided with the Revenge Ending.]]

* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoViceCity'': Lance Vance, easily the most hated character in the entire game, and for very good reasons. He has a tendency to make easy money, is lazy, childish, and a complete [[TheLoad parasite]] for almost everyone around him. [[TheMillstone He constantly causes trouble for Tommy]], but he also whines that Tommy isn't treating him fairly even though Tommy not only saved his life, but carried him throughout all of their criminal endeavors. [[spoiler:His subsequent betrayal in the final mission angered so many players that most, if not all, enjoyed killing him.]]

** Francis [=McReary=]. Given that he is DirtyCop with delusions of being a good person who was more than willing to commit fratricide, it's not hard to imagine that Francis was deliberately written to be hated. He is this InUniverse as well, since if you kill him instead of Derrick, Patrick will not mourm his death at all. Many people killed him instead of Derrick in his last mission despite the fact that he offers money and the ability to remove wanted levels over Derrick rewarding you with nothing at all.

[[spoiler: All of this was probably just so that the player would enjoy killing him in the final mission when he betrays Tommy.]]

** Ma Cipriani, Toni's mother. Mostly in the early game, she berates Toni for not being fearless like his father, even though he killed countless enemies to accomplish his goals. Her despicable attitude reaches [[UpToEleven extreme levels]] when she decides to call a hit on her own son, wanting Toni to die like a "real man". [[HeelFaceTurn On the bright side]], when Toni becomes a made man she calls the hit off and is never seen nor heard from ever again.

** Steve Haines as well. His most notable action when you first meet him is that he almost throttles Michael because he stood up to him. He becomes more and more of a dick as the game goes on. Thankfully, you can TakeAThirdOption by having him killed, and the protagonists [[KarmaHoudini face no repercussions]] as his former allies are grateful that he's gone and the FIB doesn't care much either]].

** [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Devin Weston]], the BigBad of ''[=GTA 5=]'', is perhaps one of the most despised antagonists of the GTA series. Sure, there's a lot of [[{{jerkass}} jerkasses]] around, but he's so sarcastic, narcissistic, immature (he behaves like a teenage boy who just happens to have a lot of wealth and power) and annoying that he manages to attract a certain level of hatred, both in-universe and out. He is also a DirtyCoward who pulled a lot of jerk moves on Franklin and Michael. [[spoiler:He only gets worse when he sends Merryweather to Michael's family]].

[[HeelFaceTurn On bright side]], when Toni becames made man she calls hit off and she is never seen nor heard ever again.
** Vincenzo, who is heavily implied to be GreenEyedMonster. At first, it's ambiguous whether he really set Toni up to be arrested by police or not, causing Toni to be pissed off at him and crushed his car. Then, because of this, he tried to kill Toni. He failed.

* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'': While [[VillainProtagonist Trevor Philips]] is too [[LaughablyEvil funny]], over-the-top, [[EvilIsCool badass]] and [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds sympathetic]] to be hated, the same cannot be said of these characters:

** Playboy X. An arrogant, self-centered asshole [[SmugSnake who believes he can be rich with his limited resources]]. [[spoiler:Not only that, he is more than willing to kill Dwayne, his own mentor and friend. Even Niko tells him (before killing him) that he is a bad joke]].

** Playboy X. An annoying, hypocritical and incredibly irritating {{narcissist}} [[spoiler:[[MoralEventHorizon willing to kill the depressed Dwayne Forge, his own mentor and friend.]]]]

''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' has ''a lot'' of people to hate, [[CrapsackWorld for obvious reasons]].
