Best Of
A companion should be many,manythings.
One thing theyshouldn’tbe, however is basically extra baggage and an expendable tool with no functioning qualities.
And that’s sort of why we like to discard them the first chance we get.
Just take these five dislikeable companions for example.
Sure, every cliqueneedsa mage.
That’s a class that has stuck with role-playing games for decades.
But Donald, on the other hand, was about as useful as as a paper mallet.
Oh, and how could we forgetKingdom Hearts 3?
But boy, that meme-in-progress grew stale real,realfast.
Sorry Donald, but you were destined for the back burner.
Ashley (Resident Evil 4)
Nobody likes an escort mission.
They’re drab and mundane, loaded with pointless conversations that contribute nothing to the actual plot.
Say hello to Ashley everybody’s all-timefavouritetravel companion.
As if having to dodge chainsaws on our own wasn’t hard enough.
And, in a nutshell, that’s Zeke fromInfamous.
Pointless, power-deprived, and very,verypetty.
At first, meeting the portly best bud is an absolute delight.
The comradery between Cole and himself is smooth and somewhat meaningful, and the overall relationship feels oddly refreshing.
And her name, frustratingly enough, isFi.
She is, in all honesty, a bland and glorified tour guide withwaytoo much to say.
Roman (Grand Theft Auto 4)
We’ll give credit where it’s due.
Without Roman,Grand Theft Auto 4never would’ve had a story to tell.
After all, hedidintroduce Niko to the Liberty City underworld.
Every phone call, every passive-aggressive gesture it all added up to a pretty unlikeable character.
And it also made us learn to hate bowling, weirdly enough.
So, what did we miss?
