Who is the most useless video game character, partner, party member, etc. ever? My vote definitely has to go out to Sheva Alomar in RE5 (played by AI of course)

Edgar from Phantom Dust. He always makes your character soak all the damage and contributes nothing to the fight.

Princess Peach, Oh noes, i got kidnapped again. i wonder how many times mario has thought of just ditching her, declaring himself king of mushroom kingdom and marrying some mushroom chick.
not counting the smash bro's series in which she has some hefty flyign kicks (which i assume hurts even more with high heels) and other spin-offs like mario-kart and stuff like that

The Bard from FF4... so useless... so useless I forgot his name. All he does is whine about the death of his girl friend, and once weakens a dark elf so normal stuff can be used...

Can anyone explain why the search button doesn't bring up threads on the front page?
Cause according to the search button "useless character" (title only, any date) has one previous thread, from May, which was limited to the Mario universe. And this one doesn't exist.

So don't just yell "search button".

OT:
I will say Goofy from Kingdom Hearts...he attacks with a shield and has poor AI. And no magic.

Tingle! That jerk has sapped a lot of the enjoyment of far too many Zelda games. It's time to put that little green greedy simpering monstrosity to pasture.

Oblivion teammates.

They absord your arrowshots. Then move when the enemy fires at you.

Thanks for that guys!

Master Chief. No background what so ever and minimal personality. Hell, even that guy in Doom and Wolfenstein had a face.

This. He was the reason I stopped playing and don't get why everyone likes that game so much.

Yun in Star Wars: Jedi Knight. No matter which path the player took, he died like a *****.

Snakefist from FEAR 2. I'm still convinced his only purpose was to get the player to start cheering when he gets decapitated. Seriously, the story would actually have been better if he hadn't been there.

If I'm not impressed by the game world, why would I be intressed reading some fan fiction of it?

Because ignorance breeds ignorance, And your reply does emphesise this.

Also, It isnt fan fiction. It was written by professional authors and authorised by Bungie.
