Yeah, I like them both. But there's something to be said about a strategy game where you can mull over any and all decisions.Vhite said:

3 things wind me up.
WHat you said, which has been plaguing me at times in XCOM (seriously, one turn I missed 7 shots that were all >60% chance to hit)
Fighting games, the end of Mortal Kombat is just a mick take
And rubber banding in racing games winds me up more than anything.

I love Mario Kart, but the rubberband AI can get incredibly frustrating on the more difficult cups.
Seriously, I've beaten all the cups for 150cc on Mario Kart 7, except for Special Cup. Every time I try to get gold, the AI just goes nuts and hunts me down. I can be in 7th place, and the AI will STILL go out of it's way to kick my ass. Like, a computer player will hold onto a shell, which he could EASILY shoot at a car in front of him, and he'll make a magical one-in-a-million shot BEHIND him to hit me.

Where I fall flat with RTS games is usually micromanagement. Only RTS game that I was good at and that required lot of micromanagement was Stronghold Cusader Extreme. Sadly there wasn't anyone to play with on multiplayer so best I got there was solo against 8 computers.chozo_hybrid said:
The irony of it all is that sometimes you'd wish you can have AIs as your teammates against normal people due to that fact that it seems like Dota 2 AIs are scripted to be the ultimate wingmen, they'll never leave you hanging and they'll always fight in tandem with you, unlike undisciplined players who will flee or refuse to cooperate over petty squabbles.BloatedGuppy said:

You should have all heard of the trope by now. Can't say I'd be too thrilled either way, but then again I'm the sort of pleb that gets impressed when a FPS shows feet. Its easy to understand it in numerous aspects, and then there's the fact most people don't really understand probability.

The most broken and frustrating AI in a video game has to be Shao Kahn. That fucking cheap bastard who's only programmed to do one of the following three things. OP combo, OP hammer or OP spear. You can't fucking beat the ass on Medium leave alone trying for Hard Mode.
BLOOD BOWL, vs the AI
I love it but oh my fucking God how I hate it.
Roll 3 dice to block a goblin with a blitz and an assist. 3 skulls. Odds: 1 in 216
Grrr.
Use reroll to change that.
Roll 3 dice on reroll to block a goblin with a blitz and an assist. 3 skulls; AGAIN. Odds: 1 in 46,656
This will happen EVERY FUCKING TIME. Just in the example above, the odds of getting 3 skulls on the first roll alone are not something I'd be expecting; but getting 3 skulls TWICE IN A FUCKING ROW ?! That's a 1 in 46,656 chance.
Let's say it took you 5 seconds to roll the six dice, looking for 6 skulls, statistically it could take you almost TWO FUCKING WEEKS to roll 6 skulls. In a single 16 turn match of Blood Bowl I will expect to see this happen AT LEAST twice.
Mother fucking fucker fuckballs FHAAARARHJK!!!!
Oh, and naturally, it doesn't happen to the AI. They *never* roll 3 skulls.
Blood Bowl against a human opponent is freakin' AWESOME however.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown on any difficulty.
Oh, so you've got a good team of dudes, eh? Still pretty early on in the game, though? No power armor and no laser guns?
Well fuck you. Mutons. And Crysallids.
