I want to know who thought Bubble Escort would be a fun minigame...

As a long time MMO player, I'm used to seeing escort quests. I don't think I've ever seen one done well. the way it's been implemented in IN is probably the worst escort quest I have ever seen. 5 minutes of standing around interspersed with some slightly challenging jumping sections...If it's done in co-op there is zero challenge to it at all, because you can just leapfrog each of the buttons to the end. Is anyone else as frustrated/annoyed/bored of this gameplay?
