10 Terrible Video Game Party Members Always Left Warming The Bench

7. Candy Corn - Costume Quest 2

There is objectively no more useless video game party member than Candy Corn in Double Fine's hysterical RPG-satire Costume Quest 2.

The Candy Corn costume is unable to attack during battles and just sits there during its turn while the game makes amusing comments about how utterly pointless it is.

Some of the choice phrases include, "Candy Corn is gonna sit this one out," "It's time to look at Candy Corn," and "Candy Corn wishes he were more like real corn." Ouch.

It is of course a complete joke and therefore more tolerable than some of the actively terrible party members on this list.

Yet those who actually dare to fight every battle in the game with Candy Corn in their party will unlock the "Hardcorn Mode" achievement for their patience.
