10 Useless Video Game Sidekicks Who Never Had Your Back
9. Eileen Galvin - Silent Hill 4: The Room
Escort missions are always met with resounding groans. They so often involve an AI with no instinctive will to survive, and a determination to find any pursuing enemies and then stand still while they are hacked to death. The only thing worse than an escort mission is when half the entire game is one long escort mission.
Welcome to the list, Silent Hill 4.
To be fair, Eileen can't actually die – but the more damage she takes, the more corrupt she becomes, impacting the ending of the game. She is also slow, can't climb ladders, and has a real knack for blocking key escape routes, items and doorways just as some nightmarish creature is clawing it's way towards you.
You can't die, Eileen, but I sure can. MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!
