Artificial Stupidity

The worst (and funniest) enemy 'intelligence' in gaming exposed

Back on the subject of Oblivion, if you're going to dub your new game's NPC intelligence 'Radiant AI', it's just asking for trouble. While we love the game dearly and still play it regularly after all this time, the AI can be hilarious. Just look at these three videos. One of them had us laughing so hard we had to click away to get our breath back. Firstly, a surreal dinner...

Then the dog lovers. It's the juxtaposition of scripted speech and unscripted behaviour that makes it so funny. He's gone stark raving mad!

And finally the craziest two NPCs in the book. This is pre-determined behaviour, but it does count as artificial stupidity. And not even death can stop this babbling nonsense. The maker of this video tries to stop the corpse with some violence and teabagging, but... it won't! The video is quite long, but worth the effort, we think.

theres this one level in the video game for the movie "the incredibles" and you're playing as violet, the girl that can go invisible, so there are these two guards talking. heres what you do: you go invisible, sneak up behind one unnoticed, then let go of the invisibility button for a split second then go invisible again and run away. the guard will see you behind the other guard and shoot his buddy! you might want to have the unlimited invisibility cheat on, though.

hahaha, most of the metal gear solid ones were actually done using the stealth camouflage, with that camouflage on, they will never see you unless you are on the alert or an enemy bumps into you causing it to turn off. this makes me remember the time i wiped out an entire unit using only fly anargic mushroom in groznyj grad, after you get your stuff back. they are in the same area, they see that guy die from a poisoned mushroom and yet when i throw another one, they still eat it.
