NPC teammates stealing your glory?

[Foxblade618]

Yeah, Sheva only managed to kill one meta boss in my solo playthrough, but it felt like such a slap in the face I damn near quit the whole game

 

[Sinclair Solutions]

When I play single player or multi-player L4D2, I end up being at the bottom of the Special killer (killing zombies with names) AND the general defense (Killing faceless swarm zombies).

Dammit, Rochelle, stop being so good.

You know what's even worse? When they get the special killer by shooting the final blow after you unload multiple rounds into a tank or charger.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Its morely that they run in front of me when Im trying to attack.

"hey Im your side" gets boring after about the 50th time.

Eh. It's more if the game feels like a solo game over a party game for me, or marked somewhere. As far as Mass Effect is concerned, if the target is dropped then hooray. I don't care who did it, only that it was achieved. With something like DF Adventure, which marks all your character's kills, then yeah I want to be the one to take the enemy down.

Well I've never had a problem with it. I've always played either the sniper or the HEAVY WEAPONS GUY. So it makes sense that my team mates, who I spec out to go toe to toe would get the final shot.

 

[Super Toast]

I get that at times. A fairly unknown PS2 JRPG called Rogue Galaxy had a real time fighting system, which could be tricky to get a hold of at first. I found myself just sitting back shooting dudes while my team-mates beat up on them.

That was an excellent game.

OT: I found that Alistair and Leliana did most of the heavy lifting in Dragon Age: Origins.

 

[Swyftstar]

Worse instance for me was Fable 2. I was letting the last boss go on his usual soliloquy about his mad scheme and then Reaver shoots him in mid-sentence. I was like wth. What a horrid way to end a game.

 

[Zhukov]

No, never had a problem with that. I'm not egotistical.

I was always happy to see Wrex put the last bullet in Saren.

 

[Joccaren]

You think its bad in ME, try it in DA:O. On certain enemies you get 'fatalities' that, as far as I can tell, only occur when the character the player is controlling kills the enemy, and then only if that character is a melee fighter. The number of times I replayed a boss fight just for those fatalities...

 

[Drakmorg]

Boone from New Vegas does this all the time.

"Oh, looks like I'm picking up enemies on my radar, guess I'll get out my binoculars and see what"
*Kill Cam shot of a Gecko's Head exploding*
"...oh, I guess Boone got it. Great job jackass, now I have to walk all the way over there to loot the damn thing. You really need to back off so I can finally fight something. I haven't gotten the chance to punch anything since I recruited you three hours ago!"

 

[Aris Khandr]

I've been replaying 2010 World Cup recently. Playing through as Canada in the Captain Your Country mode. My player is a striker, and averaging 5+ goals a game. The other striker has about half of that, mostly assists from me. I've been captain of the team for months, all through out the qualifiers. But we get to South Africa, and suddenly the other striker is wearing the arm band. Buh?

 

[Rhade Adama]

I've noticed that my NPCs usually get the finally kill. It's never really bothered me... but it is something that has stuck out for me.

 

[Hisshiss]

I suppose it can suck from time to time, but Im just happy to have npc teammates in a game capable of actually killing something, too much lone wolf stuff in video games these days, and other humans cant be trusted . The future is smart AI buddies.

Signed, that dude who always plays a summoner in RPG's.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

I'm pretty sure my fallout vegas character sits on a rock and does her nails while Boone and ED-E kill everything.

 

[Hamish Durie]

it times like this I just want a option to turn friendly fire off

[silver wolf009]

The A.I. on easy in Left 4 Dead.

"Hunt--"
"DEAD!"
"Boom--"
"Nice shot Nick!"
"TAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN-----"
"Nailed it!"

Jesus, say what you will, but they are a firing squad, no denying that.

 

[Von Strimmer]

Happened to me in New Vegas. Was about to kill caesar and then Veronica rocked up and punched his head off his shoulders. Glory hogging *****.

 

[Penitent]

I love it when the NPCs get the kill. We're a team, after all; a kill by one teammate is a kill for us all. It makes me proud to see Grunt carry his weight in ME2, or to see why I keep those marines or Elites in Halo around.

 

[Wondermint13]

Dragon Age: Origins, when I'm fighting the Ogre in the tower, every so often it'll be the random guard that accompanies you, that will get the last blow. Kinda makes me feel inferior.

That one I get alot! It's always that fight! Some nameless berk stealing my glorious Ogre kill..

In alot of MMORPGs during group dungeons, If I'm playing my caster I rarely get the killing blow in because while I'm charging a massive pyro ball of death to throw at something's face, one of the Melee always gets a finising instant attack in first...

As for NPCs, from my experience anyway, they're too busy getting hit with bullets or buffing eachother and/or blind firing behind cover or "getting into position. So they dont really bother me when I'm up front unleashing hell.
