Most people make lists of the best games or the most lovable characters in video games (or online games), but we just thought we’ll go ahead and make a list of the 7 most annoying game sidekicks of all time. Why seven? No particular reason apart from seven being a number I like, and also because most people make the best 5, the best 10, the best 100 or whatever; we thought it’s high time we gave the number 7 it’s due. So here are the 7 most annoying sidekicks of all time.
Roman Bellic (GTA IV)
Irritating and pesky, this character takes the top spot not only because he is useless, but he is also a grating obstruction to the flow of the game. Very demanding and needs constant attention, and probably the weakest link in the Niko Bellic chain.
Kreia (Knights of the Old Republic II-The Sith Lords)
It was a tossup between Kreia and Roman Bellic for the top choice, and Bellic eventually scrapped through with the thinnest of margins to claim the top spot. 99% of gamers will say Kreia should get top billings on this list, but since there are quite a few people out there who adore nagging and irritating mother-in-laws, we thought we’ll respect their senses and pushed Kreia to number 2.
Sometimes, you wonder while playing the game, who you hate more; the villain or the side kick? Nagging Kreia for the number two spot, definitely.
Otacon (Metal Gear Solid Series)
A total loser even for a side kick—what’s the point in having a side kick when all that the character does is hide behind you like a pussy? Weak and pitiful, and an excuse for adding another dimension to the game, Otacon follows Bellic and Kreia closely at 3rd.
Tails (Sonic -the Hedgehog 2)
Awfully slow—that’s how you can pay the best compliment to Tails from Sonic-Hedgehog series. If the purpose was to give Sonic a useful sidekick, then Tails should have been put on a course of anabolic steroids. Though slow in the game, Tails makes it to the 4th spot in supersonic speed.
John Madden (Madden Franchise)
For the stupidest advice on game strategy, John Madden should get the No.1 spot on this list, but since we had more serious contenders, we had to fit in Madden in the 5th place. NFL teams should hire a coach like him if they are on a tax scrutiny and want to show losses for all the unaccounted money. Hiring him is the best way to go bust at top speed.
Navi (Legend of Zelda-The Ocarina of Time
Actually, Navi would have won the competition for the most annoying sidekick hands down if we had made this list based just on feedbacks from gamers. However, since Navi has been kind of a classic figure when it comes to sidekick bashing, we decided to give this sorry for a sidekick character a breather. But we just have to say this, “Navi, go climb those vines.”
Chip (Sonic Unleashed)
The only reason why Chip finds the last spot on this list is only because he is a cartoon character. Just like Tails, Chips just hangs around Sonic without contributing anything to the plot or the game in general. The only reason he is less disgusting in comparison to Tails is because he is a tad faster than Tails. And the high pitched voice just adds to the irritation to intolerable limits.
There ends our 7 top annoying gaming sidekicks list, but we’ve got so many names waiting to get into the list. As of now, these 7 somehow managed to beat the rest, but since competition is high, we might have to make a fresh list sooner than later.
