Like, "go on a mission with this doofus and don't let his HP go to zero or you lose!"

Gurgh I hate those kind of missions so much. *skin, bone and muscle tissue melts off face, leaving angry eyes dangling from brain*

Is there anyone who actually likes those missions? That's the question that should be asked here.

Have you never talked about games online before? Escort missions are one of the most hated things in gaming.

Literally no one enjoys those levels, I don't know why game devs haven't figured that out

The only good escort missions are the ones where the NPC you're escorting doesn't advance through the level in its own, and can actually be somewhat controlled (by giving it orders to stop or follow) and who doesn't get into fights with everything within sight.

The escort sections in Resident Evil 4 didn't feel too bad to me but yeah they're generally awful. It's probably the most disliked game mechanic.

They wouldn't be so bad if you could heal them. Like, I'm carting around a dozen med kits, patch yourself up.

It's not so bad in RE4 because you can tell Ashley to wait near the beginning of a room where it's usually safe to leave her.

Most escort missions are hated, very rarely are they done right.

I only hate it when you have to keep a certain amount of them alive or keep the target's health above a certain amount as a bonus objective. Fuck that, it's hard enough as it is.

They are done extremely well in XCOM 2.

But that's a given, the game is a masterpiece.

the only time a game ever got escorting right was ICO. that game was great. and you wanted to protect the girl. but every other escort mission I've ever played I hate it. put allies in the game but if they die just let me keep fighting. you can say after the fight that they didn't really die just got knocked out or incapacitated and then they recover after you patch them up

Maybe it's because I usually try to put them far away enough from the main battle, but the aliens have never even shot at my VIPs before.
