  1. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. on Most Impressive Game AI? · · Score: 1

    I truly think this AI is genious.

    I was doing some running around and when you just come out of the first village, you can go right. At that point I saw some military looking guys with guns like MP5 or so (turned out to be a more advanced version of an AK, but whatever). So I think like "cool, I want such gun". First I tried walking over there, and asking them nicely.
    Didn't work out so fine and I found myself reloading the last save.

    Then I would go in there Quake-style. Pretty cool, got 1 down, and 2 shooting at me while a bunch of other guys where approaching. At that point I died (again).

    Then I tried with a little more tactical style, use bushes to hide my presence, hiding behind trees and stuff, but when you walk through bushes, the leaves whistle in the wind. Seems one of the military guys found out and came checking it out.
    Stupid as I was, I started blasting with my pistol (result: dead again).

    Then I played a little better and got 3 of them killed. And I got 2 nice guns! (couldn't find the 3th gun though).

    So I was moving the bodies to be hidden by some bushes when the next patrol came along. Too bad for me because I still had 1 body to hide.... Couldn't :'(. So I ran for it.

    Then I thought like ... Ok... Let's just sign of this mission in the small village I talked about before.
    When returning to the surface, I found out the freakin' village was under siege by the military! They freakin' came to avenge the death of their fallen comrades.

    If you don't agree with me that THAT is some nice AI coding, I really don't know what you call a good AI ;-).
