Most Insufferable Friendly AI

[Gentleman_Reptile]

Out of the countless games I'm sure you have played, which one boasted the most unbearably stupid or unintentionally hilarious freindly AI behavior?

Right now I'm playing Dead Rising 2, and the survivors you escort back to the safehouse are amazingly thick, getting stuck and doing circles on bits of scenery, unable to think for themselves that instead of repelling the endless flesh ocean of zombies away with feeble girly slaps they should pick up the f*cking sledgehammer thats lying right next to them and wail away. But no, you have to get directly infront of them and hand it to them yourself.

Anyway, thats just my most recent aggrivating experience. What are yours? Squad mates strafing infront of your crosshairs? Having to rely on an AI controlled character to perform a certain action that just doesent want to happen? Have a gripe!

The Killzone 2 AI gave me endless frustration, just because they had absolutely no initiative or sense of self preservation. I can't count the number of times I've had to revive those insufferable teammates.

Although I shot them down myself an equal number of times, good lord they were unlikeable.

I never liked Farah from PoP: Sands of Time (gameplay wise). I don't think she liked me either, judging by how many times I found an arrow in my back.

Operation Flashpoint 2.

What is the point of being able to order your team to stand behind a wall and provide covering fire, when what they actually do is stand beside or in front of that wall, and get shot whilst looking the OTHER WAY at the pretty twees on the other side of the map?

Then they actually complain you are getting them shot. I gave it a chance, but eventually I decided that a game shouldnt make my blood pressure spike to 140/100 and have veins pop out my head. Im getting old.

Well...

Mass Effect 1 AI kept shooting me in the back. Nothing like having my shields flash from shotgun rounds to the back. Luckily Friendly Fire was off.

This is more retarded than anything, but in Half Life 2 Episode 1 Alyx simply can't seem to keep up with me. After I clear an area of baddies I have to wait for the woman to take her own sweet time showing up, so the next bit of script can launch. It's to pathetically obvious that I can run in circles without anything happening, but once Alyx finally shows up the sh*t hits the fan.

How about Navi? God that Fairy won't shut up...

"OVER HERE", "OVER HERE", "OVER HERE", "OVER HERE", "OVER HERE"...

exactly the game i was about to mention.. The countless times i shoot my friends in the back of the head cause they somehow always wandered right into my sights was aggrevating..

Its like the end of my gun somehow had the ability to spawn friendly NPC's back heads infront of it..

I they're not really a problem to me as long as I can kill them if I need to.In halo I killed a lot of marines.

Left 4 Dead...instead of helping me up while hanging on a cliff, my good ol' friend jumped down aswell.

reminds me of a video i saw during the first mission where a guy slipped of a ledge 2 alles proceded to run straight off the edge the other 1 managed to hold on but of cause it was a game over moment

really? i havent lost even ONE survivor to the zombie hordes, actually, they practically take care of themselves for me... i dont know what YOU'RE doing, but i can walk through crowds packed shoulder-to-shoulder and not even have to check on the survivors because they can get through the crowds without getting touched.

then again, im used to Dead Rising 1's AI, and THAT was COMPLETELY insufferable... nearly broken. But i guess the harshness of Dead Rising 1 (combined with the fact that i've mastered that game) trained me well for Dead Rising 2, which is a cakewalk in comparison (to me)

The unbearable Adoring Fan from Tes IV Oblivion, Omg I hated him, his little comments and no sooner than i met him did i plan his death from the highest point in cyriodyl. I hate him.....and maybe tht one kid from fallout 3 who wanted to get the big town.........damn you bethesda....and your...irritating kids

 

[Misterian]

Oblivion.

those 2 Knights of the Thorn, that 1 BattleMage....

Are they really stupid? or are they just suicidal?

 

[mirror's edgy]

The half life one and expansion pack guys were PATHETIC. My squad in Opposing Force were like suicide bombers that only knew three lines of dialogue. Except this one guy with a machine gun one time. He survived like, three encounters with black ops and took out a few guys! I was sad when he died...

Resi 5 AI made me stop playing that game.

Sheva - "Oh hey Chris, this monsters weak point is it's ass, you want me to go around and shoot it or do you want too?"
Me - "Nah you can't be trusted to draw it's fire so you can go around the back." *Sends her around the back*
Sheva - "Hey Chris I know you said go around the back but I am just gonna stay right next to you because I love you so much and I can't bare to leave you alone for more than one second and your absolutely right I can't be trusted to draw it's fire so I guess we'll just waste all our ammo and die in humorous way but hey... at least we're together!!!"
Me - *Kills self*

 

[faspxina]

In Prince of Persia (2008) you're ally was constantly saving you all the time.

She doesn't even let you commit suicide. How rude of her
