    Most hated sidekick/partner

    Who is the most annoying sidekick or partner you've wanted to shoot in the back and save the enemies the trouble? I wanted to restrict this to video games, but I haven't played enough co-op type games to make a big enough pool of idiot partners I want to kill.

    My vote is Dum, I mean Dom, from Gears of War. This stupid m*therf*cker keeps running out and getting killed and I keep having to go save him to use him as fodder to distract the mobs while I pick them off. I've died so many times trying to revive this meathead, I can't f*cking stand it.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”

    Shouldn't the obvious choice be Tails? The stupid twin-tailed fox who's only purpose was dying constantly and saving Sonic at the end after he already did all the actual work.

    heheee.... you think Gears of War will make you mad because you have to ressurect one guy?

    heheheeeee.... try to play Jericho (the horror game), you will do nothing except ressurecting and dying -> switch a character who you just ressurected, die again -> switch to the character you just ressurected etc. etc.

    i can't remember their names but i would shoot them all, so the opponents can focus on me...and i on them

    Tough one.... Mostly every computer controlled partner in a real-time game. I swear, they always end up luring enemies and crap. One example would be your mercenary from Diablo 2. Stupid fux!

    And then you have MMOs.... Where this time it's not a computer controlled partner, but another person behind another screen. Stay against the wall!!! Grrrrr...

    Well on hardcore on Gears of War, its really frustrating to have to redo an entire section because Dom gets wounded, then you go try to save him and get killed too. Plus on single player, your partner doesn't even get a chance to revive you, you just die.

    I give honorable mention to the 3 idiot members of your assault team on SWAT4. I killed them so many times myself just for getting in my way or ruining a perfect ambush setup by going in too soon.

    I thought your squad members in RB6:Vegas weren't too bad. They actually killed enemies and you could tell them where to go and they wouldn't leave their post.

    I always hated Roger Murtaugh from the Lethal Weapon movies. He would basically run around the entire movie yelling out Riggs' name, and saying how he's too old for his job.

    Hands down worst for me would be Natalya from Goldeneye.

    Not only did she love to run out and get herself killed constantly by autoguns failing the mission, but sometimes she would just kill you herself by shooting you in the back.

    Honorable Mention: Healer Henchmen in Guild Wars.

    How hard is it to understand that you shouldn't try to use a touch-range Resurrection skill on a fallen melee character in the middle of a melee battle...

    That fucking sidekick from He-Man who was supposed to be a jester or something. I really want to shoot him point blank with a bazooka.


    For all you awesome people, it's just Phoenix. The numbers are just the amount of times people misspell it.

    Lol, yeah Natalya was pretty bad... :/


    Hmm, just for the sake of naming different characters I will say Navi, Link's fairy from LoZ: Ocarina of Time.

    "Hey!"




    "Listen!"

    Let me explain. Anita Blake series has so many interesting characters/PARTNERS that are better/MORE EMPHASIZED than her that she is pretty much a side character who sucks. You'd know if you read it.

    Snarf? yeah, snarf.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    I thought Snarfer was both cuter and yet more annoying than Snarf.

    edit to below: Sakura didn't really do anything pre-time skip, so it's hard to believe she annoyed you that much. She's a 13 year old girl pre-time skip, so you have to consider that too. Look at Dom in Gears of War: the guy is a trained soldier, but somehow he can't find cover and stay alive longer than 20 seconds. He brings down the entire squad and could seal the fate of humanity because he sucks so bad.

    Rofl, I got neg repped for saying Sakura. Have you seen the entirety of what she does pre-time skip, or the dudes just being a d-bag.

    Oh, I forgot about her. I hate her too. Probably more than AB. I also hate her now post time skip. I only liked her when she decided to fight Ino. I'm waiting for her to die off...

    I love the bicycle shorts she wears post-time skip, very nice.

    I'll add the dance troupe from EXILE to my list of hated sidekicks/partners. EXILE is a Japanese R&B group where two guys sing and the other 5 members of the group dance in sync the whole time. Can't stand them. R&B is bad enough. J-R&B is worse. Weenie boys who are considered part of a group even though all they do is dance are the worst.
