Most computer games these days have terrible AI. I'm starting to think that it's intentional. Otherwise I would fare much worse in the game.

- taneq 11y agoThe purpose of video game AI is not to beat you, but to lose to you in a fun way.
- eru 11y agoIt's much more fun for a human to win with a small force against seemingly overwhelming number of enemy mooks. If computer games had awesome AI trying to beat you, you'd need the overwhelming superiority of numbers just to stay alive. That applies to the computer competing with you, though. There are games, like eg RPGs, with more space for cooperative AI.
- ktRolster 11y agoThe first time I ever encountered a game that had superior AI to humans was Uniracers, back in the 90s. Great game, but the manual stated that they had to make the AI worse before they shipped because no one could beat it. At the time it seemed novel, and even rather hilarious. Now it seems somewhat standard (aimbots can win every time, for example).
