Ashley is most useless character in RE... Only good thing she done was pushing buttons and pulling levers where Leon could've done the same without playing ,, I can't defend myself" role.
You, sir, just made my night...Something about the way you said that and/or the way I read that just made me laugh so hard...I'm really glad I finished my soda before I read this...To me this is really easy.....Sheva. Yes Ashley did nothing but be a pain in the ass but she didn't have weapons. Sheva has weapons and is a pain the ass. lol
haha Glad i could make you laugh. lolYou, sir, just made my night...Something about the way you said that and/or the way I read that just made me laugh so hard...I'm really glad I finished my soda before I read this...
I like both characters and I rarely had problems with their AI.
Ashley, apart from jumping from one bear trap into the next and being unable to climb down ladders, never bothered me. She never leaves Leon's side so he doesn't have to look for her, croaches down when he lifts his gun so he doesn't accidentally hit her, and sometimes alerts me to things I wouldn't have noticed by myself (like the big rock you can shoot down at one point to weaken that giant enemy). I played RE4 with two friends and they both agreed that she's not annoying in any way. We even had fun with her because she liked to accuse Leon of being a pervert, even still when his severed head accidentally rolled under her skirt.
Sheva saved my ass more than once, especially when I played RE5 for the first time. She can be annoying at times, especially in 5-3 when she tells me to take care of Wesker while she tries to negotiate with Jill, only to get herself killed... And in 2-1, when you have to throw her to the roof across the street so she can go down and open a door for you that is locked from the other side, it once happened to me that she got to the door and then just stood there, doing nothing.
Chris, however, is much more annoying as an AI partner in RE5! I don't know what it is that he does differently, but he tends to get on my nerves a lot when controlled by the computer, which is one of the reasons why I prefer to play as him. So my vote would go to him, but he's not an option here, so... I don't know who to pick.
Ashley Hands Down. "Leon Help I Can't Even Kick Them".:wacko:
