10 Most Broken Escort Missions In Gaming History
1. Emma Emmerich - Metal Gear Solid 2
If you’ve played all of Metal Gear then you knew this one was coming. It’s timed, it’s underwater, and an escort mission. The unholy trinity of game design is here to mess up your day.
The great thing about Emma Emmerich is that for the English V/O she’s voiced by Jennifer Hale. And that’s it, that’s the only good thing about her. Now, I’d generally follow Hideo Kojima’s wild ideas to hell and back but this one was just bad. Emma is scared of water which is a great start for this underwater mission, so you have to carry her everywhere Princess-Ruto style. She’s also scared of everything and screams at bugs on walls.
On top of that, she’ll sook and sit down waiting to die if she gets spotted which is pretty inconvenient since her AI is programmed to not know how to hide. In a stealth game.
For a girl who hates bugs and water needing to be escorted through a bug filled waterway she ensures that every moment is as excruciating for you as I imagine it is for her. She’s sort of all the worst things of our other options combined so here she sits in infamy in our top spot.
You can however knock her out and drag her ass through the level and trust me, you’re probably going to want to.
