Ah, what a great day for video games. You are ready to start a mission, go to war alone and save the universe. But wait, there's a really annoying character you're destined to play the game's best chapter with. You don't seem to know how to use a shotgun?
You will feel like a small child when this NPC guides you through the game. Even worse, you can cause stupid NPCs to die themselves. Mission failed. Did I spend $70 on this?
Sidekicks in video games are like colleagues you cruise with. You don't like any of them, what do you think? If you want to keep your job, you have to smile and answer every joke your boss makes, every time Gary orders a drink. Laugh and disappear while you rot in hell. Hell surrounded by virtually complete incompetence.
20) Tail
That orange mutant hyena will help me? OK, I understand that this game is primarily aimed at children. It's not okay to shoot someone. But seriously? This is it? Do I have to live with this for the entire game?
I'm the fastest hedgehog that ever lived and now I'm caught up in this creepy phenomenon? No wonder Sega's console wasn't a long-term success.
19) Lance
Remember that moment when Lance's AI screwed up and he failed the mission due to his bad “decisions”? The moment you first meet this character, you know that “Lance Vance's Last Dance” is right there. It's like I wanted it to start with . After all, you're the baddest guy in Vice City, so I don't understand why you hang out with other idiots.
18) Gallus
Imagine going anywhere with someone like this by your side.
17) Cortana
So where do we start? Do you think ChatGPT is stupid? Now look at this intellectual idiot. Imagine you are inside a perfect game with perfect weapons, amazing maps. And suddenly this voice comes out. This is the voice that follows you throughout the game. My name becomes a joke. Master Chief is now called Slave Worker.
Basically you need to play Halo Combat Evolved Mute. Listening to chatter about “contracts” all day long is really awful. Leave it alone for the sake of the Chief! I just want to shoot aliens. Is that too much? “I think we both know the answer to that.” Well, I'm sure you do, you asshole android.
16) All characters of Final Fantasy
Basically all Final Fantasy games suffer from the same problem. You are a fool and have to protect other fools. In this game series, it seems like the main thing is that you can't even recognize your own stupidity. This game is made with completely pointless sidekick characters and they really take away the energy from “saving the world” and the place populated by useless little people.
15) Alix
In the “masterpiece” known as Half-Life 2, Alyx Vance (related to Lance Vance?) is tasked with helping you as you crawl through Half-Life's dystopian future. Your name is Gordon Freeman and you can't even take a step without Alix breathing on his neck, it's really sad. What's worse is that they made a totally unplayable game called “Alyx” where you play as a sidekick. Talk about twisting the knife.
14) Drunk Bassist
Escorting a drunk bassist home from rehearsal is one of the most difficult escort missions. Not because it's very difficult, no, it's just because it's very tedious.
First, you have to survive listening to his bullshit hype about, “Our band is going to be the greatest band of all time and we're going to play Madison Square Garden.” You're a Bulgarian Imagine Dragons tribute band, so that's obviously nonsense. Then you have to listen to him complain about the only relationship he had, which was about five years ago. Third, when you finally get him close to his house, he gets stuck on a street corner, vomits, and passes out. He resumes his mission.
13) Yoshi
Did you think a sidekick as annoying as Luigi would never appear? Well, here comes the horse dragon lizard? Whatever it is. why? No one knows. All I know is that life is hell and I have to live each day.
I say stop playing Nintendo and start playing real games without sidekicks. Would you like to play the game of life where you live isolated for 20 years in a hut without electricity? Now you can learn a thing or two about plumbing. You don't need a horse dragon lizard to help you with that task.
12) Ashley
Today I'm going to play the original Resident Evil 4. Those are the rules of the game! Oh, look, it's trash! No, wait, what? It's my partner again. No, she's the president's daughter.
Throughout the game you are in this beautiful zombie-infested village where you can actually start living a pretty decent life, but to your surprise you have to save the president's daughter and when you find her , hides her in a trash can for her safety. If I were the president's daughter, I wouldn't be kidnapped in the first place. I was playing walking simulators while smoking cocaine. alone.
11) wheat-like
Here's a puzzle for you. Stay on the side and kick. The answer is “yet another buddy!” This time it's talking balls, robots, objects, and hoaxes. This Sidekick is basically a game filled with his hour-long design work and frustrations. It shows that the developers really hate gamers. No, it doesn't help that the voice comes from Stephen Merchant.
10) Satan
Praise the devil! Then stop again. What if… What if… What if Doom was a walking simulator where you could just wander around Hell or Mars or all these weird places and just ponder the existence of life itself? There was no Satan around. There are no hellish armies of demonic bastards anywhere either. Just you, your shotgun, and hell alone. With such peace of mind, you will become God yourself.
The developers thought otherwise. Satan is everywhere. Always lurking, always watching. It's a game where you shoot your partner infinitely. They should call it “Shoot A Sidekick.”
9) Trevor
There are three sidekicks in GTA V, all of which are playable. The worst part is the character “Trevor”. He would be an interesting sidekick when it comes to drinking issues and anger management issues. In the end he's just a sad guy. I don't think any sane person would be happy playing the role of this vulgar man.
I hate making games like GTA that are so realistic that you want to put down the controller. I've met hundreds of “Trevors” in my life, and I can tell you there's nothing strange about men with drinking problems. It's just sad. I hope GTA VI doesn't make the same mistake. I experienced it with sex, drugs and violence!
8) Teammates on every battlefield
Okay, you're in a war environment, it's a matter of life and death, and here comes a new guy who just abandoned your position, and you get killed right away. You could have won the entire war by yourself. Want to know how? Easy, find “Hitler” and kill him. But everyone, from now on it's a group effort! Collective suicide effort! thank you.
7) David Mills
Let's face it. Detective William Somerset hated Mills so much that he orchestrated the whole thing. Who wouldn't? Since you are about to retire, you will be given a companion for 7 days. A young man with no experience and clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed. What's inside the box? Disappointed. No, it's Gwyneth Paltrow's head.
6) Lars Ulrich
Did you think his drumming was bad when you saw him live? Well, try playing with him. One of the worst NPC escort missions. It starts with a terrible riff and then comes a drum fill that makes no sense at all. Sadly, this game would have been better with just “And Justice For All” Ulrich.
5) Elizabeth
It's another “first person” shooter where you have to interact with other people. Why call this a “first person” shooter in the first place? Sure, you're in first person, but there's always second, third, and fourth person. And they are all the worst!
Check out and explore this beautiful city in the sky. no. I'll be here again. You have to rescue someone from this place and listen to their “interesting” notes about the current state of the game world. This time it's Elizabeth. It could have been Friedrich Nietzsche or Margaret Atwood, but no, it's just another NPC with terrible social skills.
4) Ellie
It's clear that Joel was the sidekick in the first game. Sidekick then kicks him in the head and then another. Ellie. Oh, and this character was dominated in Last Of Us 1. Same as RULED. Well, not in the TV series, but in the game.
But in the sequel, sorry, Ellie… Abby is clearly the main character. I wish I could play this game with just Abby doing Abby things in Abby's world. In the third part, I would like you to get rid of Ellie, who has “turned into an ignorant NPC.” Abby is the main character of the entire series. Abby is the cure. Abby is the cure.
And that awkward guitar playing. why?
3) Bridge Baby
Being able to play as Daryl Dixon in a beautiful sci-fi setting is amazing. But no, you have to take the baby. Like it's everywhere. What the heck is the point of this game? Why do I need to carry my baby around? why? I'm Daryl Dixon, I'm here to kill zombies.
2) Survivor
A story about zombies. All the npcs you have to save in this Dead Rising are braindead zombies and won't even know the difference. Once again a game ruined by sidekicks and clueless NPCs. I hate this world.
1) Oxygen
Hey, breathe! I will not do it! Do you know the most annoying sidekick? It comes from a game called “life” and you have to breathe it. That's right, “O” stands for OBNOXIOUS. I can't go anywhere without this! And here's the best part:
If you stop breathing. you die! What on earth is that? Who created such stupid garbage? I'm perfectly fine just floating in space where no one can hear me scream.
