10 Most Pathetic Video Game Characters Ever

There's saying a character is trash, and then there's leaving her in a dumpster.

The president's daughter turned Resident Evil 4, which is still one of the greatest games of all time, into a lame escort mission. The stress that used to be caused by zombies coming at the player with chainsaw, was now replaced by the sound of Ashley's cries for help as she finds another way to get herself caught. Her entire presence took everything awesome about RE4 and instead repleaced it with everything players hate about Yoshi's Island, only with a teenage girl instead of a baby version of Mario.

Levels that used to be a straight-shot instead turned into a search for more dumpsters to throw Ashley into, before clearing out the area of remaining zombies, going back to the dumpster, taking Ashley out, and escorting her to the next dumpster so that the whole process can start all over.

By this point in the game, most players understand how things work, making the threats the game poses to them less dangerous. Their mastery should be rewarded with more exciting sequences, not bogged down by a completely helpless character.

Leon is so frustrated by all this, that even the prospect of a little "overtime" has no appeal to him.
