Companions in games can often be really helpful. In other cases, they are just annoying. The reasons for this are manifold. In this list, we show you 7 companions that really get on our nerves.
In many games, developers provide us with NPC companions. They become part of our adventure and support us in various ways. They usually have their own personality, abilities, and weapons. Good companions can make gaming easier and ideally bring their own story with them.
However, there are companions that start to annoy after a short time. In this list, we present seven of these sidekicks. The order is completely random. Beware, there is a potential for old wounds to be reopened. Adventurers, you have been warned.
Ashley from Resident Evil 4
Our first companion is one that can be particularly annoying. Ashley from Resident Evil 4 is the daughter of the US President and needs to be rescued by protagonist Leon S. Kennedy.
The problem: She can hardly defend herself against the attackers, screams for help (and does so repeatedly), often dies, and is overall the epitome of a “damsel in distress”.
Having her as a companion feels like an endless protection mission, and not a good one. Originally, Ashley was even supposed to be playable, but these plans were discarded during development. Thus, Ashley unfortunately became a defenseless and useless companion, who only was revised and improved in the remake.
