Games where A.I.'s are complete morons.

I'm currently playing the Halo 4 campaign, and on one mission I died from my A.I. marines running me over more than the enemy. It's actually kind of annoying as to how oblivious they are that I'm standing there!

What games do you know have morons as A.I.?

Pokemon (especially early gens)

Gengar: Uses Dream eater against an awake opponent.
Voltorb: Uses explosion, against my haunter

The Last of Us

Mindjack wins lol

yep, after a couple of hours of playing I put the game in the closet.

Then a couple of days later i gave it to a bum.

The GTA Cops are pretty notorious for just running people over

Crysis 2. What a buggy mess that game is.

Any Mario Party game on easy.

The one that strike me the most has to be MGS1..

Resident Evil: Racoon City.

Killzone 3 and Killzone Shadow Fall. Nuff said.

UC 2 and UC3. Just a bunch of bullet sponges running around without a head.

The Last of Us. *It's a thrap!* Sony luring cows into great ai at E3, meanwhile the ai in the end product was horrible.

Persona 3 FES.

Mitsuru and her bloody Marin Karin.

BDO

The Last of Us for sure has some really bad AI. Ellie could run in plain sight on enemies and they will ignore her like she is invincible.

I came here just to make sure some one said The Last of Us. Good job SW.

rome 2 during launch, thankfully the game is fully patched now, but damn the launch of rome 2 was the worst total war launch ever

Sheva in Resident Evil 5 has pretty bad AI

Especially the earlier games like Vice City. They would just suicide ram you. That was their only move. GTA V is much better.

MArio Galaxy, DNF, RE6

If you're having fire fights in The Last of Us you're doing it wrong to begin with.

my choice is Crysis 2. I captured a couple of videos of enemy army guys grouped up, running in place and in a corner.

I didn't really play it too much after it happened twice.

Most braindead AI i've seen as of late was in The Division. Absolutely laughable.

Every survivor from Dead Rising 1.

@thepclovingguy: I still can't believe I preordered this game.

Ya the first time or two she did that I was like crap she is gonna get me killed. Its clear it was programmed that way on purpose though. Immersion breaking none the less.

Any game in the stealth genre.

Daikatana

Rainbow Six Seige. Or is it 3? Great game but nothing like planning a mission and having the AI not able to figure out doors.

Pretty much. And I love the stealth genre, but the shit gets ridiculous.

Makes sense I guess, they're having to code AI for a range of different actions and reactions across at least 3 different modes of play. They're also typically slower paced games which means you truly get to observe the AI at work. All errors come off as glaring.

Hopefully some day they'll iron that shit out. Even the most highly praised games in the genre have some terrible AI moments.

So playing a game using the mechanics available is playing it wrong? Wow, that's some terrible logic.

Anyway, most games have moronic ai. It's harder to find some that have good ai.

it just has some stupid moments

also, out of necessity the AI has to ignore elli so it does look moronic

@soulitane: Do you think you're suppose to alert killer zombies to your location. What do you think is safer: taking out bandits and military one by one using stealth or guns blazing and getting shot at against 7 or 8 enemies.

So lets talk about that logic.

of course not, you use fucking bricks

@lostrib: bricks don't ****.

The order: 1886

Isabeau was the most useless AI partner ever.

Killzone .the first one

Actually no, not really. Not out of necessity, because they didn't put the work into it.

Are we really saying her whispering and just talking less wouldn't be a thing naughty dog couldn't do? How about some basic command functions, Resident Evil 4 had that. Added bonus Resident Evil 4 expected you to save Ashley when the bad guys grabbed her, because you're playing the guardian character. Resident Evil 4 doesn't take its immersion or its story as seriously as The Last of Us, but it did more with support character AI, it wasn't good AI mind you, but they had an actual solution that was less jarring than Ellie.

I'm sure there is a degree of difficulty there, and I would imagine there were prototypes where Ellie was asked to behave a bit differently, but all in all nah that AI for Ellie is sloppy. There were work arounds they could have went with.

Get out of here Pandorra Tomorrow and Chaos Theory might have had their moments of sheer stupidity, but them mother fuckers were ruthless. And in the case of dogs, too good. Metal Gear's Ai is straight short bus material, I think it actually adds to the game, because Metal Gear is more about toying with your enemies, but i digress.

So basically you have nothing to refute what I said? It's a mechanic in the game, if it was intended not to be used then they wouldn't add it in. It's literally that simple. Try and think about it for a little bit, it will help, trust me.

Just because it's safer to do one thing doesn't mean the devs didn't intend for the game to be played both ways. It really isn't a very hard concept to grasp.

Whaaaaa?

@soulitane: Jumping is a mechanic in Mario. Do you jump off a cliff to your death just bc jumping is a mechanic in the game?

Use the mechanics to elevate the success of your situation. Covering and shooting is there so you can fight back if you alert the enemy.

Placing C4 at your feet and blowing your dumbass up into oblivion is a mechanic in Battlefield and MGSV but it's not going to help you succeed now is it.

So to back up your point you choose three examples that actively make you lose the game? That is literally one of the stupidest rebuttals I've seen on here. That's really not a compliment considering we're on system wars.

Shooting enemies in TLoU gets you through combat encounters. Doing what you said doesn't. Do you see how stupid that is?

@soulitane: it's a fucking mechanic in the game....that's how stupid your logic is.

Getting life from hookers is a mechanic in GTA but is it smart to find one, park p, and get you groove on in the middle of a 5 star chase.

Fucking idiot.

Geralt can dodge enemy attacks in the Witcher games....it's a mechanic in the game.

So just do that the whole time and see how far you get.

I could do this all day.

Lol, this is amusing. You're really grasping at straws here aren't you?

Again the difference is that in GTA that's a side mechanic. In TLOU the shooting is literally on of the main mechanics. Yet apparently according to you we're not meant to utilize it if we want to?

Do you need help knowing what a main combat mechanic is or do you think you'll get there eventually?

Please do tell me you're joking. I literally have trouble fathoming someone is this stupid.

@soulitane: So dodging attacks during combat is just a side mechanic?

Are you going to tell me that passing in football, basketball or whatever is just a side mechanic.

You're fucking useless,....I'm going to sleep.

No, but it doesn't do damage to the enemies though. What do you think a gun does when you shoot it at someone?

So I guess the answer to my question is no, you're not joking. Wow, that's quite sad :(

@soulitane: prostitues give you health. That refutes your argument that I'm picking scenarios that kill you. It's a mechanic to help you as does dodging attacks.

"Side mechanic"?

Is there a bottom and top mechanic?

Coin that phrase man...ppl are going to use that shit forever.
