Why is newer AI so suckass compared to old AI?
it's not so much that they are worse, it's that because we now have games where we have a greater ability to interact with AI and NPC's, we expect that they will have more realistic expressions. In the old days, there were less ways to interact, and so we expected less realism from NPC's. As technology progresses, we just expect more, and ultimately will likely be disappointed.
Well, makes sense. I think they should work on better AI. Games like Samurai Shodown V, despite bad reception, had wicked AI. Other games with decent AI include Jade Empire, the Halo games...I'm sure you folks can think of some.

Cops from any G.T.A game. I would have like a freakin Bazooka and they wouldn't care about me having a weapon of mass destruction and just walk past me.
true. and you can cause a 30 car pileup, and they wouldnt care. still, you have to admire their courage (read "mentally insane") you have six stars, the military wants your ass, but the cops are still trying to get a piece of you, even though you killed like 30 billion of them already.

Anyway, i think the worst AI is in Delta force Black hawk Down. My teammates have awful pathing, they cant throw grenades for thier lives (ive lost count as to how many times i got fragged by a friendly grenade), and all the enemies can do is charge in force, and get mowed down by the dozen.

the farcry game for the wii has some of thee worst AI in a game the will sit there and shoot at you from point blank while your not moving and miss 90 percent of the time. And louis from l4d is also retarded when it comes to friendly fire and pissing of the witch when shes on the other side of the room and easy to sneak by.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Anyone say this yet?
The terrorists suck at being terrorists. I actually saw 7 terrorists running backward through the level just begging for me to pick them off.

The escorts in Dead Rising.
Hey, go run into that crowd of zombies!
DUR, OK THEN!
Fucking hate them.
I once found some chick hiding out in a toy store, so I gave her a frying pan and she hit me with it.

There are probably better ones than this...but Navi...what the hell is wrong with that thing?
I can wander into a boss level, maybe a giant scorpian or something, I'll ask navi for advice and it replies "GAWSH maybe you should check out that cavern, ive got a feeling something isnt right there!"
Well thanks navi, I guess I just figured it was a natural occurance for a dark wizard to take over the giant fire breathing scorpian in my basement ¬¬.

I think everyone is forgetting a little game called Lemmings. All they did was walk foreward and die.

Though that was the whole point of the game so I don't think that counts.

Call of Duty 4's AI can't even be considered dumb becaue that would imply that it would have some measure of intelligence, however small.

All there really is to it is spawn, move to cover point, and fire (or not fire in the case of your allies.) Sometimes you'll get some scripted moment that, for a moment, breaks up the retched monotony but that does little to compensate for the terrifyingly shallow gameplay that saturates every nook and cranny of that game like warm, month old butter on a carbonized muffin.

The enemies of Jump Ultimate Stars. It's supposed to be a fighting game but the enemies seem extremely pacifistic. They mainly jump away from you and block(which almost never breaks) on the other side of the arena and only attacks if you get near them, and if you are supposed to get points by killing them, they kill themselves so you get no points. The AI is the only problem with the game.

STALKER Clear Sky, no discussion. These enemies are seriously the stupidest ones I have ever played. Try sneaking up to the military base south in the Cordon when it's dark, I promise you you can walk right past the guards and they won't notice you because they think you're still at the entrance to the Cordon. Oh and yeah, Bethesda's RadiantAI (Fallout3, Oblivion) is a shitload of fuck.

I believe that the character AI in Left 4 Dead is so good that they are actually intentionally crappy. I don't know how many times I've seen Louis get pounced by a Hunter, or Francis walk right up to a Witch and shine his flashlight on her.

L4D AI. they are clever in the fact that they can follow you and shit, but they are so stupid otherwise. they will rarely go into small rooms that makes hordes easier, they suck at saving you and they stink at shooting.

The guards in any of the Tenchu games. They were not so bad when they were alerted to your presence and they did reasonably well at acting as a team, but when you weren't glaring them in the face they were absolutely moronic; when you have a shuriken sticking out of your collarbone your initial reaction isn't "Must have been the wind."

That's pretty lousy security.
