Yorda's AI was fairly decent, she generally did what you wanted save for a few "Stand on the fucking box!" moments.
Horrible A.I. partners that ruin your game... (fearful for Resi 5)

Eileen from Silent Hill 4. Bad enough that the game's combat system was clunky enough as it was, but halfway through the game when they throw her at you and tell you to look after her, the gameplay experience gets horribly worse. It's bad enough that the game had introduced 'unkillable' ghosts who force you to continuously stay on the run, Eileen sometimes refuses to enter some doors you go through because she was a few inches too far from you when you examined the door, effectively leaving her alone in a room full of nasties you yourself had trouble fighting.
All that changes once you unlock the SMG equip for her though

Elder Scrolls IV> Oblivion migt be one of the best RPGs I've ever played, but GOD the partner A.I is horrible. How many times don't you have to baby-sit some stupid knight with you on a quest on the Fighters Guild just to see them throw themselves headfirst on monster effectively blocking your way to both guarding him or delivering any blows to the enemy.
The partner A.I was just tedious.
Also... Hostage A.I in old-school Counter-Strike is the pinnacle of the worst partner A.I

I know it's kinda old, but Oblivion. AI was terrible when friendlies were present, as everyone ran STRAIGHT into battle and kept moving back and forth, constantly making it impossible to land a blow on the right person without having super-AI targeting skills
And I agree on Dead Rising: it was impossible to get your AI to the right place at the right time because they sucked at dodging zombies. I'd usually have to kill every one in the room before I could move anywhere.

Add blind drunken hobo levels of collision detection to that mix and you've got a fun-killing cocktail.KeithA45 said:
The AI in Army of Two was just ridiculous. You have to have a second player to really play otherwise you're screwed
But then you have to deal with the guilt of being responsible for someone else suffering through that piece of shit...bluerahjah said:
The game with the best friendly AI I can think of is Republic Commando. On the hardest difficulty settings, there were a bunch of times when 2 of my squadmates managed to get rid of an enemy while the 3rd revived me. It was really useful being able to tell them to prioritize either helping me or finishing the current fight. I was really pleasantly surprised by the quality of that game. It's a pity they didn't make a sequel, because a Imperial Commando game would have been awesome (assassinating rebels, etc.).
Clover in Fallout 3, but that is mainly due to the numerous glitches involving her and melee weapons.

This is what generally went through my head when I was downed in that game.
"AW DAMMIT! Dom help me up.....DOM HELP ME UP YOU FUCK!.....Where are you go- WHERE ARE YOU GOING?! Don't you dare go behind that cover GET BACK HERE YOU ASS HOLE I AM NOT GOING BACK TO THE CHECKPOINT AGAIN!" Then I, by some miracle, manage to drag my bleeding ass all the way to him and behind the cover "Now revive me so I can kill you you whiny son of a *****....Why the hell aren't you reviving me?! DOM SO HELP ME IF YOU SIT THERE DOING NOTHING WHILE I DIE I WILL FIND A WAY TO BRING YOU INTO THE REAL WORLD JUST SO I CAN TORTURE YOU TO DEATH YOU STUPID BASTARD!"
Then I died. I still haven't been able to force myself to finish that game.

Well, AI usually sucks, but the AI on Left4Dead was awesome. The AI there even took on habits that are normal for humans (such as a moment of looking around for enemies upon exiting vents).
The AI in FEAR was not friendly, but good. The AI had way-meshes- so to speak- instead of Way-points.
The AI in Evil Genius was terrible (although I still love this game)... Waypoints outdoors, which made no sense and absolute obedience with no initiative.

Ha that made me laugh!DrHoboPHD said:
For me it was more like 'DOM! YOU DUMB FUCK!! I just spent the last ten minutes rolling and ducking in and out of cover and blasting only for you to AGAIN repeatedly run straight into a bloodmount's face, get your stupid ass savaged and either bleed out or force me out of cover into a hail of bullets to save your sorry ass YOU ****!'
Valve are for me the kings of friendly A.I... do I even need to mention Alyx?Sensenmann said:
And yeah the A.I. in F.E.A.R. and its sequel is really fun to fight against due its clever tactics.
Thats pretty much the only way to do AI companions.whyarecarrots said:
