Go, go, I've got your back... - The Bear and Badger

...except I haven't because I am your AI partner and there's absolutely no point in me being here other than to push the story along or press a button in another room.

I had a thread about this in the old place but I'm encountering it again while playing Max Payne. My AI partner, Passos, has failed to hit a single target (outside of a cutscene) and I've just completed a level, Panama Canal, where he started the level with me and wasn't of any help whatsoever before completely disappearing only to turn up the very second I drop the last bad guy.

I can perfectly understand a developer's reluctance to have your AI partner get all the kills but if your are going to deny him the chance to add to the tally then at least let his shooting offer some kind of suppression.

Hopefully with the next gen and its increase in power we will see AI progress to something more than just part of the story...

I gave up on Gears of War because of the level you had to stay in (or out of, I forget) the light. Dom was such a useless companion he kept getting killed and I'd have to replay the level. Fuck that!

Really? I never had him die at that point.

However, in co-op my cousin died about ten times because I was a total cunt and found it hilarious to constantly leave him in the dark.

And escort missions make Baby Jesus cry :-(

Yet devs still include them.

WHY

Filler, innit. There's only so much 'aim gun and shoot' that people can be fucked doing, so they include 'aim gun and shoot while this faggot spins in a circle like he's shit himself' as we all love that.

He just kept wondering off on his own, or running straight passed me as I cautiously crept towards the next safe area.

Oohh, I thought you meant the bit where you have to move the light as he has to get to a switch or some other such bollocks.

They want you to feel something. Anything.

I'll never forgive this generation of gaming for allowing me to play Killzone 2.

Someone at Guerilla needs to speak up. They can't all be useless cunts, surely?

Bollockoff

Their foliage designer has some talent. Going by the Helghastian jungles in KZ 3.

I do wonder if Guerilla go to bed knowing that the Killzone games are mediocre at best and count themselves lucky Sony want a Halo that badly to throw money at them without knowing what the fuck their doing.

Oh good god the useless woman in Resi 5 was a royal pain in the arse on single player (not meant as a sexist slur!). The bit where you had to split up in front of the temple, where a ridiculous amount of lickers turned up, was actually impossible in single-player. That has been the single worst example of co-op AI.

Dark Soldier

I still have to 'enjoy' my way through KZ2.

Dark Soldier

From about 1:40 onwards.

FUCK U DS I really like Daikatana.

My team mates in Mass Effect 3 are great. They often kill things, or float them up in the air for me to kill, and you can always use their powers manually. Ok, they sometimes don't run away from grenades, but overall they react pretty smartly to different situations and it's a good system.

Solaire's a bit hit and miss.

afgavinstan

Pretty much given up on Max Payne 3's SP cos of that fucking idiot buddy of his.

sometimes there great like you say other times they spin in a circle in front of a brute/wraith whatever.

Howdy, Stranger!
