Resident Evil 5 Sheva or Ashley... who's the WORST sidekick?

she wastes her HG ammo on nothing XD
Typical AI. I think it must be difficult to code sensible resource management into AI. In most games I've played this is more or less a problem - the AI spend large resources to combat a small problem. Example from a RPG: The enemy AI uses an unnecessary powerful spell to kill a small creature like that bat I sent to him. The spell the AI used to kill my bat costs five times more than the spell I use to summon a new bat. This only happens if the AI has lots of mana, but a human wouldn't waste resources (mana) that way.

I can imagine the problem with Sheva is the same; she uses a HG to kill one enemy that could have been killed with a couple bullets?

They say that coding AI is more complex and difficult than what we think, I think they are right. :ermm:

Sheva is a lot better than ashley cuz she can fire and attack.Also helps out chris.

Ashley is a real pain and is more pain when she is on hunting ground. Could she not run when zombies are near her?

Havent got to play RE5 yet..... as Im working throug the old ones.
But would guess Sheva is better, as she help you. But the thing with RE4 is that you are supposed to help a helpless girl :lol:

So it would be kinda ruined if Ashley was a war machine :p

Yes, but the least she could do was to run to Leon and not sit down when ganados approached her. :dry:

Some few annoying experience

Sheva - She waste so much bullets but never seen she missed the target.

Ashley - Run, hide in the bin, hide behind Leon's back, Piggyback, irritating shouts such as (Leon HELP!!!) and some other things she can do. Not to mention the Pervert reaction.

I don't know if you're ironic or accidentally contradicted yourself there. :D ;)

Oh man. This one is tough! :p

Everytime I play RE5 Sheva ALWAYS shoots me! Waste ammo by shooting me in the back. Grrr. I kill most of the bad guys while she shoots me, then complains that she doesn't have anymore ammo.

Ashley is a pain. Always complaining, never trying to protect herself. I swear if they had kept her longer they would probably would have killed her or themselves.

For your info, typing in upper case letters indicates shouting and is bad netiquette.

How is this even debatable? I know people have their reasons for not liking Sheva, but Ashley isn't as much a sidekick as she is a burden.

I agree. I don't think of Ashley as a sidekick. She's of no help other than warn Leon of boulders and finding cranks. =]
To use Leon's words; she's a "subject".

I am pretty new to resident evil, Resident Evil 5 was my first real RE experience besides the movies, and from what I've seen in videos of Ashley, she doesn't really do much. Yes Sheva has some issues but she definitely has her uses and I found that I really like Sheva. Sheva wins.

Sheva is the ideal company you need when you are surrounded with Zombies...she is the best!! and Ashley is a good for nothing...not even able to give a punch...she's the bore!! For Me, Sheva is just too good.
