Why do they exist? Has any gamer that has ever lived said "man the one thing this game was missing was a mission where I have to protect a useless NPC or fail my mission?"

This was inspired by watching a video about Silent Hill 4 because I was thinking of finding a way to play it but saw that the second half of the game is an escort mission... through areas you have already been through no less. Gross.

in world of warcraft people like to take the enemy out while they're doing em which leads to frustration and angry messages.

It wasnt unbearable but it didnt make the game any more enjoyable. The game was much better in the village on your own imo.

Assassin's Creed had those or "follow X and listen in" missions. Absolutely not my idea of fun.

I will say the escort missions in Far Cry 4 (as a machine gunner in a large truck) are pretty fun though.

I think the reality is that while hardcore gamers hate them , casual gamers like them as a way to break generic shooting galleries in games

Adding variety

There must be a reason both Triple A and indy games have been doing them for 30 years

Speaking of annoying mission types... insta fail stealth missions in non stealth games.

The Sherri portion of RE2make was the only blemish on the otherwise stellar game. God that was part was awful.

I dont mind on rails escort missions.

I enjoyed stuff like the truck sequence in FF7, or the wagon chases in Zelda TP.

But whenever I have to wait for some slow ass NPC I get frustrated. The only one I sort of liked is in MGS3 at the end, with Eva. But the ending of the game was so perfectly paced that I didnt mind it.

Escorting Emma in mgs2 is the worst of all time. Not only is it an escort mission, but its also a water level.

One of Dead Rising 4s (and 3 to some extent) major flaw is lacking the charming survivor escort missions that made the 1st two games so memorable.
