10 Objective Types Games Need To Stop Using

ESCORT MISSIONS

The age-old bane of most people who have enjoyed video games in their life, escort quests are, more often than not, an absolute nightmare. Because the last thing you want to do when playing a game is end up having to take care of another person who, annoyingly enough, is completely incompetent and totally incapable of taking care of themselves in even the most fundamental ways. Resident Evil 4’s Ashley sections are an infamous example, of course, as is the Metal Gear Solid 2 part where you have to escort Emma. And again, it’s not like escort quests are impossible to get right- The Last of Us and Ico are both basically Escort Mission: The Game- but more often than note, developers don’t seem to understand why players hate escort missions so much.
