Poll: Have you ever played a game with a worthwhile sidekick?

[ddon]

a sidekick that cant die. there are a few games with those guys. atleast they dont get in my way unlike some sidekicks. resident evil 5. now she sucks.

 

[Cuddly Knife]

When I play LBP, I always have on my mini-sackboy buy in my hand. Would that be considered a side-kick?

Otogi 2- the dragon. I guess Orta is really the side-kcik, but she felt more the main character, so I'll pick the dragon.

Choose any companions in fallout 1/2, there ya have it.

While not really a sidekick, Red from Penumbra Overture was my favorite "sidekick" in any game. Even though he tries to kill you

 

[WhiteTiger225]

The Midget from the Evil DEad game

 

[GundamSentinel]

Agro, definitely....

 

[JoshGod]

clank... until i get a jetpack to replace him

 

[guess who]

Ok I don't know if this counts since no-one has said it yet, but I for one grew attached to my hirelings in diablo 2, and atleast they pull their weight.

I'm going to go with Jericho from Fallout 3, Sheva ala RE5, the bird (Whose name escapes me right now..) from Banzo Kazooie and maybe the eastern european guy from Farcry 2.

 

[gigastrike]

the bird (Whose name escapes me right now..) from Banzo Kazooie

You'd better be joking.

Alyx was a powerhouse with a pistol...then she got the shotgun.

So many games give you sidekicks that it's impossible to care about or like at all. Has anyone played a game wherer this is not the case?

Saints Row 2 with Johnny Gat. Guy is freakin' crazy!

Also with the single most ghetto name ever given to any human

If your last name is that of a nickname for a gun, you are definately awesome!

 

[Hungry Monkey]

Kazooie from Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie. She's kinda useless in nuts and bolts...

 

[Lord George]

I remember Kazooie, Navi and the girl and the dog who helped in Jet Forced Gemini, also Two tails in Oblivion though that's from a mod so it doesn't really count.

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

A otg of you said DOG or Alyx, thats fine but i would have to go with

Sheva Alomar from Resident Evil 5

 

[crazyjay321]

clank is amazing

 

[soren7550]

Your Dog (in my case, Alcard) - Fable 2
Alyx Vance & Dog - Half Life series
Urdnot Wrex & Kaidan Alenko - Mass Effect (although I don't really know if you can call them sidekicks, same as Alyx & Dog.)

And a couple of pokemon I guess.

The other character is called 'Helper'. If you don't have a second player he's still plenty helpful.
