Most annoying AI in a game

[ma55ter_fett]

Half life 2, the npcs always either got in my way (and we both died) or ignored my tactical orders (and then they died)

I'm not talking about Alyx here I mean the small squad of resistance fighters you get late in the game.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

Npcs in oblivion during combat.

"Swings sword at a daedra, kills idiot who got in front of a FUCKING CLAYMORE"

Your killing has been observed by forces unknown! FUUUU-

Heh, all you gaming youngsters.

Either companion in Daikatana was easily the worst AI you could get. The AI programming for your companions was typically "Run towards enemy". Let's totally disregard the fact that you haven't given them a weapon yet. Let's forget that this enemy is in the middle of a BUNCH of other enemies. Let's just run towards them.

Completely ruins the chance of you bypassing a room of baddies with stealth or taking out a swarm of frogs (yes, frogs) with your grenade launcher. As soon as you get near the room, Superfly (yes, Superfly) runs in and gets it between the eyes. As soon as you launch the grenade into the swarm of frogs, Superfly runs into the midst of them to help catch it!

And let's not forget the fact that you fail the mission/chapter/era if either of your companions goes down and you've just turned the entire game into an escort mission!

Sheva Alomar.

Left 4 Dead 2

Me:*stands in heli at end of Dark Carnival*
AI:*takes longest possible route to heli*
Me:*gets pwned by tank*

im pretty sure the AI were the same as the AI in the first version of L4D1.

that happened to me about four times in a row, i kept getting dragged out of the chopper while the AI pissed about on the other side of the stands and then as soon as i was down, they jumped in and flew off leaving me with the 'in loving memory of adranta' credits. irritating as hell.

Sometimes the NPCs in Guild Wars go out of their way to aggro.

 

[Joachim Aachen]

Don't get me started.

The AI in Resident Evil 5 loves nothing more than to not follow, not protect and get their asses kicked all at the same time.

^This.

Also the reason I've only played with Sheva once. ONCE, I TELL YOU.

God Damn you Command and Conquer Red Alert opponent AI! There's are fucking boats for a reason, and that's to cross the tiny one square stream that's blocking my base from your base!

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

The Left 4 Dead AI bots can get pretty stupid at times...

 

[Random Argument Man]

Probably my allies in Mass effect. At least, they're good enough to be meatwalls for bullets.

 

[ineedscissors]

oblivion AI hands down. I still have flashbacks to trying to get martin to follow me and not get killed by a billion enemies. The horror, the horror...

 

[SnarkyNinja]

Most annoying AI? The Starcraft computer.

No matter what you did in that game, the AI was always one step ahead of you. Build up your Zealots? A fleet of Vultures attacks. Set up a missile turret defense? Hello, hydralisks. You've researched weapons level two? Oh, well the AI is at level six. And defense level 4. And they have twenty carriers outside your base.

I'm convinced that if there is a Skynet at some point in the future, John Connor will get to the central core, and Skynet will pronounce in a booming voice...

YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS.

Haze. I hate that game and I hate the AI. It's not just that they were bad, which they were on both sides, but your allies would not shut the hell up. It didn't matter if they were Mantel troopers or Paradise Hand guerrillas, they refused to be quite. The Promise Hand were the worst...I can still hear them yelling "Promesa!" "Vaya con dios!" and "For Merino!" to this very day. Those damn repetitive war cries will never go away. Man I hate Haze.

completely agreed. by the way, and this is out of utter curiosity, "the horror, the horror," is that a reference to Heart of Darkness or Apocalypse Now?

 

[awesomebillfromdawsonville]

Im gonna go with the super advanced AI in Army of Two. Thats the epitome of greatness. You can't even fuck with that dude too much when he does dumb shit or the one thing he will do right is fuck you up. Just great.

 

[Comma-Kazie]

Anything that gets in my way when I'm trying to kill an enemy--which is most of them, really. The only truly amazing AIs I've come across are the ones from FEAR.

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

Don't get me started.

The AI in Resident Evil 5 loves nothing more than to not follow, not protect and get their asses kicked all at the same time.

Also in L4D2, the AI is quite happy to stand next to you picking their noses while a Hunter rips your nuts off and eats them. The second the fucking thing kills me due to their stupidity THEN the kill the fucking thing.

I still prefer L4D1's AI.

I hate it how they go out of thier way to shove it off when it is much more effective to just shoot the fucker!
