10 Most Broken Escort Missions In Gaming History

7. Sheva - Resident Evil 5

I know this is the first survival horror on this list but, boy howdy, it will not be the last. Can I pull off boy howdy? No, I don’t think I can. Let me know in the comments, but let’s talk about something even more painful than hearing me say that: escorting Sheva.

Resident Evil 5’s Sheva Alomar may be a stone cold fox but if you don’t have a friend to play as her you’re at the mercy of her AI which, to be nice about it, leaves a lot to be desired. Essentially what you’ll be left with is a game that’s basically one long escort mission. Despite looking precisely like the kind of badass you’d want watching your back, it turns out that due to some wildly clunky programming she rampages through ammo and supplies like it’s going out of style--

And let’s remember this is a survival horror game where that stuff is pretty bloody important--

She also manages to consistently stand exactly where you don’t want her to and bizarrely defaults to using her weakest weapons.

Of course, if she dies, you go back to the last checkpoint and lose a handful of years off your life out of frustration.
