8 Video Game Heroes That Refuse To Do What You Tell Them

8. Lester The Unlikely

To be clear, I loathe Lester The Unlikely.

Not the game, which is at times very funny and a pretty well-constructed romp for the most part, but the character of Lester himself. For a start, his reason for going on this adventure in the first place resulted from him feeling a little bit sleepy after reading some comics down at the dock (as you do). Yet this terrible introduction pales in comparison to how the bastard actually plays.

Or more specifically, how he refuses to play along.

Is there an enemy in front of you? Well best be prepared to see Lester refuse to go near it and wrestle control away from the player as he runs away. Is the ledge slightly too high?

Don't worry, Lester will let you know constantly as he whimpers and whines before taking an arduously long time to climb down. It's an utter chore to fight against a character who doesn't want to be a hero and it's even worse when he constantly overrides the player's inputs to be an utter coward.
