Gaming's most useful / unuseful friendly NPCs

[pulse2]

There have been plenty of games whereby you rely on the help of your fellow AI NPCs around you to help you in sticky situations and sometimes they are pretty useful, notably Fallout 3 NPCs (who can also be a pain in the arse).

Diablo 2 had some ont he most useful fellow NPCs I can think of while Killzone 2 had Rico...enough said ¬_¬ If anyone played Killzone 2, you'll know how much time is wasted reviving that fool.

 

[Dcocho]

Useful: AC Brotherhoods assassins ;D
Useless: every call of duty soldier on your side

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Useful:

The mercenaries in Assassin's Creed 2/Brofist.

Fuckers won't die. EVER.

It took me almost an hour of endless fighting before ONE of them fell dead.

150 florins well spent.

I WAS BORED!

Useless:

The F.E.A.R. squad. Fuckers are NEVER around when the shit goes down. EVER.

 

[eggy32]

Sheva. Worst AI team mate ever.

 

[[.redacted]]

Useless NPCs: All the bots in League of Legends...

My god...

 

[shootthebandit]

Killzone 2 had Rico...enough said ¬_¬ If anyone played Killzone 2, you'll know how much time is wasted reviving that fool.

ninja'd in OP

what about hals sister in MGS2. that was just tedious that section. atleast you could have fun laughing at hals reaction when you dry hump her. she dies in the end so why bother saving her

 

[voetballeeuw]

Useful: Going to have to go with Boone.

Useless: every call of duty soldier on your side

/thread. COD has the worst AI that I have ever had the misfortune of playing with. If you've had worse I hope you are still mentally sound.

 

[Drummie666]

Useful: Your squad mates in Medal Of Honor (2010).
Useless: Your squad mates in every other modern fps.

 

[maturin]

The guys in Black Ops that play the whole mission for you spring to mind...
