For a lot of FPS and Third Person shooters the AI is normally rock dumb, which is a shame. Compare the original FEAR's AI with many of today's shooter can't see to emulate. This guy done a good run down of how it is relatively simple but the emergent behaviour makes it more challenging. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmOOrh5lq7o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmOOrh5lq7o This game was made 15 years ago and every time you play the game (just like the guy says) the encounters are different. There are ways to cheese the game still but it isn't easy to do it and tbh it almost not worth doing. I think the problem is that a lot of games have been constrained by two things consoles being quite limited compared to PCs and the industry trying to constantly sell graphics and celebrity voice acting over gameplay. Most of the open world games except for GTA are essentially pretty stale.
