You mean the resident evil 4 ganado that run up and just stop? I get that RE4 is a lot of people’s favorite game but it was flawed the enemy programming has never been stellar
I would still pick random over AI. Rev 2 AI don’t do their jobs to locate and distract enemies, and you are required to manually switch over for even the simplest tasks. It’s super annoying especially in harder modes and invisible modes where enemies get tougher and smarter, but my AI partner is still the same dumb shit. They have auto heath regen, they are supposed to be on the front line and be my meat shields.
I didn’t have a major issue with the AI. With the right skills equip and weapon the AI can very useful. I usually played as Moira and equip Claire with the shotgun with the Unholstered skill. AI Claire has infinite ammo and the Shotgun still has it’s normal knockdown. Blind monsters with flashlight, let Claire knock them down and use Moira’s crowbar finisher. That setup makes their campaign easy.
I’m glad I played Revelations 2 local co-op with my brother. We played on the hardest difficulty and I’d used to wonder how much more of a pain in the ass it would have been single player. BTW, the second player CAN die, in local co-op at least.
