10 Useful Video Game Companions That SUCKED To Hang Out With
3. 343 Guilty Spark - Halo
By far the most loathe-worthy "companion" in the Halo franchise is 343 Guilty Spark, who in the original game appears to work with Master Chief to help prevent the Flood from escaping the ring.
To that end, Spark is useful in so much as teleporting the player around... until it's revealed that Spark's plan to stop the Flood ultimately amounted to wiping out its food supply - that is, committing genocide against every living thing in the vicinity.
Spark gingerly manages to survive the events of the first game, however, and returns in Halo 2 in a somewhat less maniacal, more outwardly helpful capacity, and again reappears in Halo 3, where he saves Master Chief from the Flood.
Though certainly proving useful for large swaths of the third game, Spark once again turns heel by the end, though, forcing Chief to destroy him once and for all.
Spark absolutely had his moments in aiding the player, but between his overall skittish allegiances, the grating sound of his voice, and the overall inane quality of his moment-to-moment chit-chat, he was damn-near impossible to put up with.
Killing him and getting to listen to his agonised death scream in Halo 3 was... a pleasure like few others.
