Do games really need escort quests?

Escort quests, something that has become insanely popular in games for the last two generations of consoles. Goozernation has put together a list of games with escort quests, include, ICO, Dead Rising, Resident Evil 4, and Enslaved, The problem here is there is no standard for games, most of the time the NPC is a useless burden and makes the game almost unplayable. Should developers due away with the escort missions? Should there be some sort of standard?

No. I hate them. Especially when they're on time as well.

Exactly why i didn't buy dead rising 2.. that games one big escort mission (saving survivors) and whole thing is timed too!

THANK YOU!

Escort missions are almost universally TERRIBLE. The AI needed to make these NPCs "smart" hasn't kept up with the rest of the tech.

I am a huge proponent of doing away with escort missions until they can stop NPCs from running face first into shotguns.

HacSawJimThugin5480d ago

I 2nd that!! I hate them more than anything.

kube005480d ago

I agree nothing like having to guard something that's helpless when a timer is running down and they wander off

bustercube5480d ago

Fallout 3, and oblivion have the worst escort missions, horrible pathfinding AI and they always start fighting anything near them & die.

iamnsuperman5480d ago

These are the bane of my existence

fl1pp135480d ago

Nope, i hate them! Just like check-point races..

Nightshade3865480d ago

Yeah, this one's a no brainer. There might not be anything in games worse than an escort mission. Except maybe underwater levels....

wtf, good thing I already played and finished the game when it came out

walken799d ago

Once again hurting the people who purchase and support the game. Meanwhile pirates get the best version. Pathetic.

PRIMORDUS98d ago

There is already someone or a group called voices38, that has been cracking Denuvo games lately. Not the newest games, but getting there.

PRIMORDUS98d ago

I wonder if the pirated copies run better like this one titled here: "Resident Evil 4: Remake - Gold Edition (No Denuvo) (v1.5.0.0 + All DLCs + Bonus Content + MULTi14) (From 50 GB)"

Furesis98d ago

i don't think so? as far as i know even pirated version have denuvo or whatever runing in the background, they just trick it to say that yes this is a legit copy or just skip that process, but im not 100% sure. regardless this is an endless battle where legit consumer "suffer" sometimes. it's not that big of a deal MOST of the times and i understand publishers not wanting people to get access to their games for FREE so, i cant blame them honestly. i do find it odd that they wouldn't just remove DRM completely considering most people already played it? not like they are getting more sales anymore, just lower the price remove DRM but i guess thats why they still have it because they dont want to lower the price. oh well

1nsomniac98d ago (Edited 98d ago )

A perfectly acceptable excuse to pirate the game.

Why would you accept to pay for the game in order for it to install software you don’t want with the intention to make your playing experience worse. Paying for that would be the very definition of stupid.

I’m not against DRM but if it negatively effects a product you’re paying for. Then it’s on them not you.

You know I would have liked this if it was added on for free. A nice substitute for Assignment Ada.
