- stirfish 5y agoI played a game like this before. The whole journey took about 6 hours to complete. Realizing who I was interacting with was one of the best moments I've had playing a video game. Edited to add: I think I've played two games where the bots turned out to be people. The second game was much longer, and I never finished it - I only learned that the bots were people from a YouTube video later on. This is a good idea, and it is under-explored!

- rubyist5eva 5y agoI don’t remember which iteration it was, but there is a game in the Dark Souls series where one of the bosses is a player that invades your game to be the boss. It’s a cool twist on the PvP of the game where you can be invaded by a player at almost any time but you can usually opt out of the PvP but this particular encounter is needed to progress.
- darepublic 5y agoThere is such a boss in dark souls 3 but if you are offline an AI will play as the boss
- rzzzt 5y agoDo both of you look like the protagonist on each console?
- darepublic 5y agono, the human playing as the boss knows they acting in the boss role
- rubyist5eva 5y agoYeah that’s one of the caveats, or if there is nobody around to invade you at that particular moment it will be the AI as well I think.
- tacon 5y agoSo these games are versions of the book "Ender's Game"[0]? [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ender%27s_Game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ender%27s_Game

- xavdid 5y agoRiot Games did this one year for April Fools in League of Legends. Normally you can play a 5v5 match against other players, beginner bots, or intermediate bots. For April Fools, they rolled out "Advanced Bots", which were actually another group of 5 humans, but with their username replaced with "<Character> Bot". Word got out pretty fast, but it was super funny queuing up for a game you'd normally win easily and being surprised at how smart those bots have gotten...
- DangitBobby 5y agoOkay, that's pretty funny.
