Mass Effect and L4D.
In both games you could switch your AI companions with pieces of toast and they would contribute more helpfully.
It's frightening that i can't think of any good coop AI...

Dom from Gears 2. i agree that bastards as thick as 2 short planks, and never does anything useful. i'd like him slightly, if he didn't keep harping on about his god damned wife!
I've been a RE fan since the start ( Resident Evil 1 was the first game I had for the ps1, and have since owned and played almost every RE game released... just didn't get my hands on Outbreak File #2 ). I'm a bit disappointed with the AI through the whole game though. When I first heard of her as a playable character I thought it was going to kinda be like resident evil 2 ( where your 2 different playable characters cross paths every once in a while doing different scenarios ). Then I heard of online coop and thought it was going to be just small missions with no set story ( like a few of those demo stages, or like Resistance 2 ). Now I don't mind playing online with my friends, I love Gears, Left 4 Dead and Resistance and all those fun games... but Resident Evil SHOULDN'T be one of those games. It just takes away a lot of the tension and feel of an RE game.
That is the only game that did friendly AI right in my opinion. It is a shame that they didn't make a sequel.Liverandbacon said:
All other friendly AI in any other game just sucks.
Yep, that what I always did, or else used her as a lure to backshot ganados with the shotgun. Marvin the alien from Perfect Dark had good AI, just a pity that the character is so bloody annoying! The A.I. for Conflict: Desert Storm was pretty good as well.harhol said:
The only annoying AI I ever encountered was Natalia from Goldeneye on the N64 (move when people shoot at you dammit!) and Prince Tricky from Starfox Adventures.
You know something funny, I was blocking the fact that this Sheva chick existed for a long time (mostly because I was hoping the game was for the most part a single person thing). When I played the demo I was horror struck to find that she played a pivotal role in the game but you know what?? It wasn?t that bad? in fact it wasn?t bad at all. She really kicked ass and did her share (maybe even a little more) of the killing. She responded well to my commands, she healed me, gave me her ammo, kicked people in the head when I was in a pinch and she did an over all good job. Now my real life friend on the other hand? he would run around, pick up all the items and leave me to my own devices when battling hordes and it felt like I was playing the game on hard. In addition to that he would expect me to save him in a pinch but when I needed him he was too busy cutting up melons or something. I wish I could say it?s because he was a n00b but actually he is the best person I know on RE4 (and I am pretty damn good so this is really saying something). It wasn?t worth playing with him and the split screen really sucked (even on a large TV: it left you with nearly half the screen being unused which was a waste and left me squinting or sitting close). I am looking forward to the whole game being released and just playing it alone? well with Sheva that is 
p.s. I am pissed that they changed the controls, all of the different options felt a little counter intuitive. Why couldn't they leave well enough alone? I am hoping in the full game you can customize them or something or I am in for a lot of hurt.

.......Oblivion has the worst excuse for combat ever devised. To say that allies is what screwed it up is short of insane. It's like saying me throwing a penny into the ocean is what messed up the economy.
Any game where an ally dieing is a game over ruins the game or atleast the mission.
Halo3. If they were half decent and were willing to fight without you I would've been able to get so much farther.
I've played the Resident Evil 5 demo and the A.I. is actually pretty good. She can be helpful and is willing to give you ammo if you need it.
No one blames you.DrHoboPHD said:
And on-topic, the Companion Cube. That Lazy Bastard, always making me pick him up to move him! and then he can't even bother to Euthanize himself! [/Sarcasm]
I never had problems with dodgy A.I in Gears of War 2. If I got downed, at least one person from my squad would come over to help me and would only make it their second priority if there was something big to deal with at the time, like a Reaver.
Left 4 Dead has some of the best friendly A.I I've ever seen, but sometimes it can bug out a bit... This happened to me recently in the second chapter of Dead Air (All partners are A.I, because I didn't have anyone to play with)

- Got to the event where you have to start up a crane, at which point Louis stood by a fence and did absolutely nothing. Didn't move, didn't shoot, just froze up. I move on with Bill and Francis.
- Come across a Tank in a small apartment building, but by the time we kill it, it's already killed Francis.
- Me and Bill move forward on our own, when suddenly Francis reappears in a closet in a building I just exited. Go back and revive him, then move on.
- The A.I Director had probably lost patience with Louis, because Louis was pounced by a Hunter. Bill and Francis' instincts kicked in, and ran back towards Louis. He was dead by the time they got there, and the same Hunter killed Francis. No idea what happened to Bill, but he didn't come back to me in a hurry.
- Close to the safehouse, there's a whole lot of Infected milling around in the street, which swarm me. Once I get rid of them, I accidentally bump into an alarmed car and then try to flee various other Infected. On the way to the safehouse, I (Literally) run into a Witch that's sitting in front of the door and she tears me to pieces.

I hated that part.She would seem to go die somewhere,while you were fighting off so many bad guys.Couldn't finish the game because if you died,you would have to see 10 minutes of cut scene.willard3 said:
