Number one cheating game that has pissed me off to no end: the entire Mario Kart series. Every single one of them and their goddamned rubber banding. You can be within half a second of winning a race, come in second, then try again and improve your time by a full minute (on a three-minute-long race) and have everything turn out exactly the same. Something's just not right with that.
oh god mario kart. And any racing game for that matter.

Supreme Commander's AIx on skirmish. Then again, at least it has the courtesy to tell you it cheats like hell. But it doesn't tell you that it manages to get a soul ripper within ten minutes. When they say cheating AI, they mean it.

ATM it's Splinter Cell: Conviction's Last Stand on Realistic difficulty. Ironically, if the game was MORE realistic in this mode it would obviously be harder but guys with automatic weapons would be LESS likely to hit you with a head-shot from 50metres away in the dark. Why does this handicap only work against the game player and not the AI?

Frikkin cheaters

Although I suppose is it realistic that one man versus 25 would end with you dying pretty fast!

The opponents always seem to use that "No Fog" cheat.

Yup. Oh, it's on StarCraft II as well. :D
I hated that. The AI in the first game was absolutely brutal.

The original Advance Wars had that same problem as well. Nowadays they still know exactly where you are, they just need to get in visual range to actually attack you.

The old Bluebyte turn based strategy games like Battle Isle. Their unranked noob infantry often destroyed max ranked elite units in open ground segments when ever it chooses to.

You're refering to this [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheComputerIsACheatingBastard] i assume.

It's rather common, every rts does it, especially in WC3

Rubberband AI in racing games, "random" number generators that are anything but, and Puzzle Quest, where the computer basically gets to choose what falls down!

Draconis in Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal.

He starts off as a high-level mage. Naturally, you buff up before fighting him. When he dies, he turns into a dragon. By this stage, your buffs have worn off, leaving you open to attacks from probably the most difficult dragon in the game. And not because he's powerful, but because he's cheap. He has immunity to most spells and all physical attacks, ane the immunity is nigh-impossible to dispel. If you're lucky enough to take down his protection long enough to actually hurt him, he can restore himself to full health several times.

Cheating bastard.

Oh mario kart without a doubt. 1st place is the worst place to be in that game. Endless blue and red shells attemtps, the rest of the pack is instantly double their skill and your drops are limited to bananna peels.

Oh and Mario party. Perfect rolls. Lucky stars. Controversial mini games of "chance"

I am surprised no one has mentioned any sort of fighting game. I love my fighting games, but fuck does the AI love to pull some major bullshit from time to time. They go from suck to rape in a matter of a single round sometimes depending on the difficulty you put them at. Pulling off perfect combos, flawless blocks and counters ect...

My most recent rage inducing experience with them has to be Unlimited Ragna from Blazblue, he's fucking broken beyond repair. Distortion drives will ALWAYS take priority over yours, more damage, more defense, permanent blood kain mode with makes killing him a ***** ect. Playing as him is fun if not terribly easy, and having two unlimited Ragnas fighting each other becomes an oddly entertaining war of attrition but he's still the epitome of bullshit AI in fighting games right now.

I think it's safe to say fighting games take the prize for "Computer is a cheating whore", RTS is a dead tie or really close.

Yesterday I installed Puzzle Quest on my PC again. I remembered it as being fun, little game that draw me in for hours upon hours of "logic puzzles".
What I completely forgot was that the AI enemy in that game CHEATS LIKE HELL! I do know that it has to cheat "a little" to create a reasonable challenge but hey, if the AI can do you 80 damage in one turn with JUST THE SKULLS that "luckly" fall from the top of the screen than something is really wrong :p.
It's so annoying and pissing me off so much that I eventually turned off the game. So... what games do you remember for cheating A LOT because for me it's Chaos League and Warhammer40K:DoW2 (phew long title) hard AI in skirmish battles, it didn't even try to HIDE the fact that it cheated like hell :p.

And what's your reaction when the computer cheats a lot? I usually start to go "psycho" and talk to the damn thing in a very very uncivilized manner
"oh yeah use your super cheating powers you **@#&%@*)%*^!)*@ ARGH! You are doing that to piss me off! ARGH!".
And as you might have guessed from the last part of that sentence I also start going paranoid.
Yes while Puzzle Quest can be fun it is a well known fact that the spawn for gems is horribly broken one time I got about 5 4 in a rows from one move that wasn't even a 4 in a row. Also the first boss is the biggest pile of bs ever. Although it is addictive I have nearly 50 hours on it.

Any game where you're sneaking and alerting one person alerts the entire damned level of your presence (I'm looking at you Vampire)

this. beyond belief, i will literally save 2 mushrooms to boost at the end, BOOST twice, somehow fucking peach is slightly keeping up with me, and a blueshell hits me at the speed of light 2 feet from the line, and i see bowser fucking hauling ass out of no where to win the race while knocking into me sending me flying into the wall while everyone zooms by all the sudden. its utter horseshit.

also i would like to add, probably been posted before

Cheating bastard.
My problem with Draconis wasn't that he was so insanely high powered in immunities (Sarevok tore him apart pretty good). The problem was that his dragon form replenished all his mage spells from before and that he could literarly spam Power Word Death, Abu-Dalzims Horrid Wilting, Wail of the Banshee and Symbol of Power: Death to such an insane degree that half your party would die after his first time stop. If they somehow survived, he still had enough insta-kill and high damage spells (and regular attacks) to destroy the rest at his leisure.

If you think the Puzzle Quest AI is bad, don't play Z...it is even more evil than Puzzle Quest.
