Doesnt matter how stupid they are. it could be from in-game dialogue, terrible A.I. or any thing that makes them stupid. I Personally think that Dom is quite stupid from how he just looks right at the berserker about to bowl him over

Well, this is a hard question to answer because frankly there have been a lot of failed games through the years with absolutly ridiculous AI that can't even get from point A to point B when commanded to, and oftentimes even when taken by the hand. In comparison Dom (never played much Gears Of War 2 though), FPS "bots", or the much "vaunted" Sheeva (Resident Evil 5, heralded as some of the worst AI for the type of game ever) are amazing feats of programming in comparison.

The problem with me writing this though is that while I remember the problems, my brain has burned the titles out of my mind, probably due to trauma. :)

The big problem with AI though is that it's possible for people to program "godly" AI and then basically make it so the player feels irrelevent as well. I mean if you feel like your watching a computer vs. computer demo there is something wrong. :p

Those who have played fighting games can tell you that computers can simply react much, much, faster than any person can ever be. A fighting game could be created that is literally impossible against the AI, but what would the fun be?

Every NPC in Oblivion (save maybe Martin and the Emperor.)
I find it rather difficult to keep from killing every one in sight when I'm playing that game. They all have terrible personalities and terrible voice over. They're all dumb as mud to boot, thanks to their terrible AI. I can't even count the number of people I've seen walking into walls while playing it.

The ones in rainbow six vegas are very annoying, walking through your and enemy fire and such. You can revive them with one syringe but if you get shot they aren't gonna make their hands dirty..

I've been saying him a lot lately, but Ambassador Udina from Mass Effect. The guy grounds your ship because you've been saying that there's danger which you have to stop, which would ruin his chances to brown nose to the council. So, he basically comes this close to dooming the galaxy for short term political advantage. Hell, he might not have even gotten any advantage out of it; the council very clearly doesn't like him.

The AI on Worms - they could program worms that hit you spot on, but they couldn't program worms that missed convincingly - so on the easier modes enemy worms would fire bazookas into the sky or shotgun the ground and hurt themself with recoil damage.

Tidus (FFX). As a character, he drives the plot alright, but as a human, he would fail horribly. All of his lines are poorly written, his voice gets annoying *very* quickly, and he cannot adapt to any new situations.

Or maybe the Worms AI. Jesus...

Those NPCs in Fallout 3 who come up to you complaining they've been rigged with explosives, then run off before you can even do anything about it.

Even on easy they were still better than most of the people I played WWP with :p. But on the hardest... getting grenaded across the level is a bit of a *****
