Games that Cheat

[DEAD34345]

The worst example of AI cheating i have ever seen is the higher difficulties on Civilization Revolution, where if there is even a single tile under fog of war anywhere near you, the AI will somehow spawn giant undefeatable armies in it, and this is on top of all the infinite resources, instant build times and instant research...

When I play against Hakumen on blazblue and he is able to do all those special moves, I think it's the penultimate battle when you play as Ragna.

Ninja Gaiden 2 against the boss that explodes when you kill it, It didn't get me, but it's such a cheap death.

Fucking Blazblue.

Fucking Score Attack.

Fucking Unlimited characters.

Did I mention how fucking evil it is to make me fight hyper powered versions of the characters?

Ooohohohohohohohohoho.
Ever play the Gold and Black versions of Guilty Gear characters?

You think I-NO is bad as a normal character....try her Gold form on for size.
Speed up
Attack up
Tension gain greatly boosted
Her moves suddenly require no start up or cool down
Overdrive Abilitys are now almost one hit KOs


Its NOT fun at all.

Gold Boss Dizzy.

2nd most frustrating part of that game, especially when she used Nirvana Crisis and kills you in one sweep.

Only one worse was the end of Dizzy's 2nd story.

You (Dizzy) vs. Boss I-No.
Your attacks do only 1/3 damage
Her attacks do 3x damage
She can use her Boss Ultimate
You can't use IK (SINCE DIZZY DOESN'T HAVE ONE)
Lose and it's game over, cannot retry

I HATE THIS BATTLE

My God i hate fighting against Dizzy when she is in Boss mode.
In XX A Core + she is nearly imposable to beat.
And trying to use A.B.A or Chipp against her is pointless.

Jinpachi from Tekken 5 and Azazel from Tekken 6. FUCK YOU BOTH. Fuck your cheap-ass freeze moves followed by the almost auto-kill ranged attacks. These guys have every fighting game cheap move. From ranged attacks to health steals to freeze moves to fucking teleporting. At least with True Ogre from Tekken 3 you could actually dodge his fire attacks.

The Pokemon Battle Tower is a cheating prick too. Attacks with 100% accuracy miss. Need I say more?

Playing Fallout 3: I had a speech check of 21%. "Not bad," I thought, "a bit of reloading and I'll get it around my fifth try."

I counted: thirty-nine times before I passed it.

 

[Broken Orange]

Jet Li's Rise to Honor. My god, the enemies would get you into a unblockable combo for a minute. Once finished, they start it up again and again and again!

FIFA 11(the higher the difficulty the worse it cheats)

only game ever to get a violent reaction out of me

beating schalke 1-0 89th min

what...WHAT THATS NOT A FUCKING PENALTY YOU ****
*checks video replay after game*
no it wasnt a penalty

so fifa i declare a state of martial fuck you

Finally, someone else that understands how much of a cheating bastard FIFA 11 is. On Lengendary, they are faster, they use skill on you defence ALL. THE. TIME. All the decisions go their way as well. Try a Career Mode as a Spanish team, if you go within 5 yards of the AI's players, they get given a freekick. They are allowed to kick the everliving shit out of you though.

Command and conquer 1.

You cant build structures which are not touching another one of yours, so I destroy an enemy base (absolutely everything, even the walls as you can build off of them) and what happens? THEY REBUILD IT. I turn my back for 2 minutes and the entire thing is back once again, it only stopped doing this when I covered the area with sentry towers.

 

[MetaMop]

The races in Brutal Legend. The opponent can knock you off course, completely ending any chance of winning, but you can't do anything to impede him. In fact, if you try to knock him to the side, he'll just pull a PIT maneuver and spin you around like a dreidel.

I played a game called Vanguard Bandits. It was one of those grid-based strategy games, think FFT. In a late mission, I was fighting an enemy and managed to fully fatigue him so that he was completely unable to react to attacks. He couldn't guard, try to evade or even counter. I used my main character's strongest attack which had a 100% chance to hit my foe. The screen switches to show our two units engaging in battle and I expect to watch the rather impressive attack murder yet another foe. What I got instead, was the completely defenseless enemy parrying my strongest attack. All this did was delay the inevitable, but it was still cheap.

Valkyria Chronicles.... A challenge is setting up the AI to position themselves in proper formations and targeting/atking ppl with better intelligence. Going on hard mode and putting me in the middle of tanks, gatling guns, and machine gun solider so that as soon as I select a person they get shot to death before I walk 5 feet isn't a challenge, it's fcking stupid!! And going on expert taking my tank away then throwing mortars into my base on top of that is just wtf!

Isn't that actually just really accurate of football?

Did he take a dive? Professional football is 90% Acting skill.

 

[demoman_chaos]

Any game that the enemies scale to your level.
When the difficulty just changes the amount of damage the enemy gives and their health.

GT5 special challenges can be BS, like the Top gear Lotus that has almost no traction and the freakin' hippie busses.

 

[thethingthatlurks]

Worst offender I know:
C&C3 Kane's Wrath
In addition to the obvious unfair advantages the brutal AI has, instant command of all units, and no reaction time handicap, it also gets twice the resources. And it can build instant counters to your units, even if it hasn't "seen" them on the map.

 

[unholy weasels]

call of duty 7, the bots in combat training have zero recoil even while being shot and can see you through walls no matter what difficulty you set it to

Unlimited Ragna has pissed me off more than most fighting game bosses. Permaented blood kain without the life depletion, massive defense boost, auto filling meter, damage boost, and landing a single attack regains a good chunk of his life. Even using heavy hitter fighters like Tager or Hakumen (the two singular damaging fighters in the game) just chip away at his health. And that fucker cheats too, big time. I have easily caught him canceling moves that are not technically cancel-able without meter. Abuses the shit out of some of his frame advantage moves and regardless, is given priority even though your moves have higher priority normally. And if he lands one of his distortion drives on you, all your hard work is pretty much in vain.

He's made of total bullshit. I have lost matches against him simply because he'd land some BS distortion drive on me. He's just broken, but I guess that's how it is when it comes to super bosses.

Also, Chaos!! Stop spamming Divine Punishment like a ***** when you're near death!! Same goes for using Condemn to give you invulnerability when you have killing BP you twat!!

Hakumen is an example of your second point. You can totally see it. If I'm playing as Hakumen, he's slow as hell and takes forever to charge his special moves. But if the computer's got him, he gains special abilities in less than a second and unleashes them ridiculously fast, compounded by the fact that he's just 300% my own speed with Hakumen to begin with.

You don't play Hakumen much do you. If you are referring to Unlimited Hakument then yes, his meter charges 3 times as fast; but that's the point of unlimited characters, they're super charged. But a normal Hakumen, even on hardest difficulty, is nowhere near as bad as you say it is. I main Hakumen, and I've wrecked him plenty of times, he's a fucking cake walk compared to the bullshit that are unlimited Ragna and Nu.

Not to mention he isn't about speed. I've dropped matches in less than 30 seconds with him, it's just a matter of using his normals and his drive to build meter quick. He doesn't tend to really start pulling off magatama heavy combos until the opponent is half dead or you've been turtleing against some annoying shit like Nu/Lambda.

I have a lot of hate for computer game foes and NPC's haveing divine insite to what's going on or where you are when they shouldn't. Two examples off the top of my head, original Fable game, if you lock picked a store and snuck in a guard would come walking right in behind you in 20 seconds. No matter where they where they just 'know' you are there, even if you wait till you seem them gone around a far off corner. Also in FPS games, example Borderlands, if you do a long range scope snipe, hit or miss, every foe around them can turn and fire in your direction in a split second knowing where you are, and hit you with pistols and shotguns at that range. Also in that game if you move behind a wall to get out of gunfire, move around to another side of a building or something, when you pop back out everyone is already pointing at you knowing exactaly where you are and fireing away. There really should be a larger time gap for foes and NPC's to figure out where you are.

Flatout: Ultimate Carnage (and the previous ones too). Some opponent(s) is always n% faster than you. So you're always best off not upgrading your car at all. They also cheat the laws of physics when you're not looking. Oh you're saying after crashing you reached your top speed in two seconds on a 90 degree turn. Right.

 

[Geekosaurus]

I feel like Fifa cheats a lot. Maybe I'm just crap at it.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Every RTS game ever...

Bloody AI. It cheats! It frickin' CHEATS! No one can build a factory that fast. I know, because I've tried!

Oh you noticed that eh?
Once in RA2:YR. I had the AI build a prism tower right outside my base which was nowhere near any of it's stuff. If you've played RA2, you know why it shouldn't be able to do that. So naturally I was "WTF?" I don't know what it hoped to gain by doing that since the thing was immediately obliterated by my defences, but it was still odd. It rebuilt the thing several times too before I got sick of it and whipped him out.
