Ugh i've been playing Doom 3 recently and I swear to god I saw a possessed marine rapidly fire 2 shots from a pump action shotgun and don't even get me started on how guns fired by enemies knock you back while none of yours even seem to slow them down.
Also if the zombies are supposed to be so dumb how do they keep ambushing me?

RTS games are synonymous with cheating. The AI builds twice as fast as the player and things like resources don't seem to phase it's ability to build units in some games.
Racing games also cheat often. In some games, the cars off the screen never seem to get too far ahead or too far behind. And split-second, impossible to avoid driving off the road hair-pin turns don't seem to phase them.
Come to think of it, most old style games that let you adjust difficulty cheat. instead of increasing the AI's behavior, it simply does things like increases their health bars or damage given.

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.

OT: Sometimes the cops in GTA IV seem like they're cheating...always knowing where you are so they can spawn a car just round the corner as you near the edge of the wanted circle. I've spent 15 minutes in a car chase on 1 star because of this before.
I swear the AI in Warcraft 3 cheats all the time. How do they get that many resources in that short a time? How do they build up so dang quickly? How do they know exactly where I am, and exactly when I am vulnerable? It will always be a mystery.
I remember these, I tried this one challenge (The last one i had left) about 20 times in a row, then i said "FUCK IT!" and came on the Escapist for a half an hour, and then went back and tried again.. Got it first timeimahobbit4062 said:
Your much better level headed, if you fluke your way into knocking the larger enemies off quickly and try to avoid smashing heads against walls, you should be fine Monster. Hunter.
Why is it even possible to try to Solo Lao Shan Lung when it's practically impossible unless you've unlocked the quests you only get BY beating him? I don't know, but I do know that Capcom can RAM A SPIKED POLE STRAIGHT UP THEI- sorry, but after losing 3 times in a row, and having upgraded and gotten better equipment and items every time, this is a bit infuriating.
(MHF2 btw, just in case you were wondering.)

Every single game "cheats", the "opponent" always has complete knowledge of where you are and what you are doing, it's just down to the game to make it seem like it's fair.
Actually it is, you're supposed to be fighting a single opponent, worse still is that if you (or another AI) attack the territory and fail they will likly have made at least one other base meaning:
The first attempt was difficult,
The second impossible.

You do have a point. What I'm calling cheating is when the game flat out breaks its own rules. In the examples I listed, there were some things that I noticed the game doing that are IMPOSSIBLE for the player to do. That is not fair.Velocity Eleven said:
Many people have pointed out that in RTS games the computer can control multiple units, which I would call the advantage of being a soulless machine, but building any unit regardless of resources and knowing everything about you no matter what are very cheap if not blatant cheating.
In other words, you can consider it cheating when the game breaks it own rules.
I see someone already mentioned Empire Earth and its cheating AI. Always knowing what your doing, where all your troops are, same units that are 3-5 times tougher then yours and the ability to build 2-3 times faster.
Another Cheating game would have to be the Blood Bowl games. The Dice roller cheats so bad its not even funny. Many times, I've had to roll anything but a 1 to complete a move and time and time again all I roll is a 1, and on top of that when using the Games re-roll ability I get the same result 9 times outta 10. The AI on the other hand seems to always roll 6's to do something.
