I did do a couple of searches actually, guess I wasn't thorough enough though. My bad.
=P
Yeah, there are plenty of these threads. It's fine, I was just joking.
Haha, thanks for the heads up anyway. As I said, I'll be more thorough next time ;)

OoT's Navy (annoying damn fairy)
Fallout3's Dogmeat (he always dies)

I actually hate most team mates because they seldom do things well.

Dom on insane in Gears 2. Caused mutliple fails.
Hell yes,

The AI on gears when your down really isnt that good at all, he just leaves me an im HUPMPING HIS LEG BLEEDING TO DEATH
For me it was the other way round, in the tougher fights I would spend ages using cover and rolling around like a lunatic to gradually pick away at the locust patrols just to have Dom run straight into the line of fire or face first into a fucking bloodmount.

Its a tie between Navi, Peppy and Slippy.
This, plus fucking OTIS from Dead Rising.

Just yesterday I was trying to save 5 survivors including an old lady and some fat bloke, swinging around a dumbbell in a huge zombie mob like a crazy fool and who decides to call me up to let me know about someone safely tucked away somewhere? Yes, him. Don't cut you off cos it's rude? Would cutting out your tongue be rude too?? He's lucky the game is so fun.

I think those "teammates" from Diakatana need mentioning.

True, it was a horrific game, but they obviously strived to make your life a living hell.

I can't stand when AI characters dying gives YOU a game over...if they're that hard to protect, they deserve to die.

In all fairness to Sheva, Chris is just as bad when you play AS Sheva.
He's actually much worse! He fucking always without fail stands in front of you blocking your goddamn view with his big tank shoulders... plus his character animations are hilariously silly!

Do minions from the Overlord count? Then yes, minions from the Overlord sucked.

And AI in Armed and Dangerous - they can't take care of themselves. At all. You have to shoot in a direction to make them fire, too.

I'm going to go with Tails and Navi. Sure, tails can fly, but he's just a mini sonic that can fly and just is kinda there. Navi... I don't think I have to explain.

I pray to the gods of gaming that they fix this mechanic is DR2... 'No otis, i can't fucking talk right now, there's a zombie trying to eat my face off... what, you think I'm rude? you're the one who keeps stopping me from SAVING THE FUCKING WORLD.'

Your AI teammates in COD 4. I try to shoot an enemy and I kill one of my team causing me to fail and restart.

The survivors in Dead Rising.

They are hopeless. Escorting one of them is hard enough, but when you try to save three or more at the same time at least one of them is bound to be eaten by zombies. Not to mention that they always seem to get distracted by shiny objects when following Frank so you end up running 50 feet and look back only to see the morons standing around. Thus you would always have to call them to make sure they kept up with you.

"Come on! Follow me! Come on! Follow me!"

Oh yeah they sucked at fighting. They won't kill the zombie 2 feet away from them. Instead they would prefer to run right in front of me so I accidentally hit them with a katana.

If they don't count, then Otis. Trying to save the survivors is annoying enough, but Otis constantly calling you on the damn radio magnifies the frustration about 5 times.

Farah from Sands of Time. Despite her actual human behaviour, she can't aim to save either her pixellated life OR yours, all her arrows either miss or hit the Prince somehow like they've got human-homing tips or something. Then she leaves...and dies. Oh nooo spoilerrsss!
The number of times she`s shot me in the back of the head and the sands won`t rewind far back enough for me to live is incredible

Yar har, I believe ye be referrin' ta Dead Rising.

Everyone keeps saying Sheva because she's so dumb (correct), but I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's because her very inclusion at all bothers me. RE5 could have worked perfectly without (MANDATORY) co-op, her inclusion just feels like a last-minute thing.
