Fallout 4s bloat fly
Great video, makes me want to replay a lot of those games!
Where is Cyberpun and Ghost of Tsusima ? Ahahahahahahahahahahaha
Stalker SoC Npc’s are scary
Surprised you didn't comment on the last of us' AI
You forgot the forest
Shadow of war is my favourite game
When a grizzly bear charges you in RDR2 stand still and look into the face of the bear. It will get near you and make some screams and run away without attacking.
I'm surprised that nobody brought up Dragon's Dogma
I was very impressed with The Forest cannibal AI. They felt so lifelike and intelligent. For a small dev team, they did a fantastic job and other devs should take note on some simple things they did to give such an immersive feeling.
SoM. Is different level
Shadow of saris good to
The Shadow of War (shadow of mordor sequel) is even better!
OK but what was that thumbnail though.
I have a problem with too many shooting based games programming the AI to “detect” my crosshairs on a crit area and then dodge or wiggle. Destiny 2 is prime offender. Horizon, Resident evil remakes, Outriders, etc etc do this as well.
Y'all forgot to mention cyberpu…. oh yeah nevermind
whats up with that thumbnail bro, its rdr2 but its got some friggin floatin brain monster???
I saw two deer fighting like they would during rut, and that was super cool. I also saw moose fall through the frozen lake near lake Isabella and it run out. I saw dogs howling near their owners bodies after I shot them too 🙁
damn i though this was 5 games with good combat AI 🙁
CDPR left the chat…..LOL
Far cry 2 had a decent AI also, which it was one of my favorite games back then.
You forgot The last of us 2. It is a bad video if you forget to include that.
Halo 2 Legendary
My favorite ogre is shrek
Not even gonna talk about Skyrim? Hm okay I see how it is, someone took your sweet roll
you forgot cyberpunk 2077. it was said to have the same standard as RDR2. thats what they said
What about The Division 1&2? Enemy AI in that game is ridiculous!
I honestly feel like Shadow of Mordor & Shadow of War were extremely underrated games. Even when it came out I feel like I didn't see much of it.
I've recently started my third playthrough, finished SoM again and am currently 26 hours into SoW. 100% completed both times, no regrets. And I plan on 100%ing SoW for the third time because it's not actually that hard, I feel anyone could do it. Just a game thats hard to get bored with, so much fun to have with my little orcses.
"You'll see it when you do"
Me: seems legit
i love this channel just because that he put the stalker shadow of chernobyl in that list
Swamps near St. Danny is scary place. Those women who cry, some bastards will try to steal your horse by tricking you to give them a ride to nearest village. Yeah rd2 is incredible
7:37 those were bokoblins
I played STALKER LostAlpha. In the Yantar, I watched Snork pull his victim into his den. I slowly approached him, he did not see me and did not hear me, he began to eat his victim, my whole "action" lasted about 15 minutes. I came quite close to him, he was still eating, I put a shotgun to his head and … nothing, I had an empty magazine and then I died.
Number 1: Crossy roads
The AI in Horizon Zero Dawn is pretty smart and adaptive as well on higher difficulties.
Monster Hunter World is definitely on my list. The AI for the monsters and wildlife is amazing
I gave up gaming because of reasons opposite to this video, i wanted games that were alot smarter like “RDR2” makes it more immersive for me .. hope they keep making the same calibre of game.
Ok, why I am seeing a web development code snippet at 5:11 just to make it look like a video game's code?
One AI system that is fairly excellent for a game released in 2013 is Arma III AI. Yes, it's often bad at close quarters, and the AI will occasionally miss things that a normal person could notice, but they respond to many, if not most, situations with appropriate tactics. They patrol around and collapse in on any form of contact. Tanks and APC's know what their weapons are intended for and use them in that fashion. For example, a tank will rarely, if ever, engage infantry with it's main cannon. Instead it will use it's coaxial weapon and the commander's turret to attack. Grenadier Infantry AI will tend not to attack PC's with HEDP and instead resort to HE or Fragmentation rounds. Instead they will target lightly armoured vehicles with HEDP, and often with devastating results.
