An AI with human characteristics is harder to make than you would think…
Humans don’t have linear behaviors versus AI’s and shit gets hella complex from there on out… an AI has to be ‘unfair’ and know more information than you have available to even stand a chance…
Even then, a person can still outsmart a ‘unfair’ AI by exploiting patterns… I don’t think there is enough computational power in the world to match the human brain…
FFXII would have been good, but it wasn’t.
Fuck that, you have like 300000 games with Wesker and Frank. I don’t need to get looped in stupid tools of survival rolling cross up crap for 20 games in a row. I’ll play you like 10 times, lose ten, and then just peace the fuck out.
Were you looking at my license card thing? Regardless of who I put on point I need Frank and Wesker on 99% of my teams. I love those characters. New tech=level 4 Frank off of one clean hit. Then I GGPO whole teams with Frank.
I favor there being a variety of enemies types to face at once. Batman does this with enemies with blades/guns/titans/armored guys who block everything/throw objects. Variety in enemies will cause the player to mix things up. Another issue with Batman is that after a while it’s hard for him to get killed. This removes a respect the player should have vs the threats in the game. Ninja Gaiden carries asshole AI but it keeps you on your toes. Slack off even a bit and it means death.
When I played it first on Xbox, I laughed at Hayabusa being a super ninja. Until I was backed into a corner in a boss fight and I couldn’t cover my ass with health items. I had to level the hell up and when I won I stomped the boss out and never healed. Ninja Gaiden’s AI is straight asshole material but it never stripped away your options. You had to play smart. Block too much and get thrown. Spam Flying Swallow and get countered. The AI was a bigger pain than usual because unlike Dante or Kratos, Ryu cannot take a beating.
Fuck yeah I did. I was like “1000 games, I am going to get fucked up”
I was getting fucked up the first day. What is going to happen two weeks in? I am actually curious to find out.
X-2 was fun. XII was awesome to. So much stuff to do in that game. The hunts where great. I just wish it didn’t have the problems it had during Dev cuz you can tell there was so much more the director had in store for it.
Also agreed, NG has asshole A.I. not cheap A.I. You need to learn the A.I.'s behavior in order to play well. Even in NGII this is true and I fucking hate NGII. Ryu always has the tools to win.
And DMC1 Dante dies pretty fast and his enemies are aggressive as hell. It’s all the sequels where he buffed up in .DEF department and all the enemies turned in meandering punching bags of dumb. In DMC1, Stage 1 enemies could still wreck your ass at the end of the game if you took them lightly. Even Bayonetta’s stage 1 enemies shit on a good chunk of DMC3/4’s enemy roster.
God I love DMC1.
Thing is though in the OG Ninja Gaiden you could spam Flying Swallow with zero consequence. NGB onwards definitely had the respect the enemy aspect to it which is cool but I just hate dumb bullshit AI sometimes.
That’s not entirely true, especially on harder difficulties, but it did pwn pretty hard in NGO. in NGB they fixed it tho and offered a shit load more content to. When people say NG1, they mean NGB.
And yo! Beta! The Damned just got on your ass for doin that shit in Lounge. Don’t do it here either man. I’m hype as fuck for SSX4 as you man but come on.
this post stinks with truth and win.
to add, arguably one of the hardest secret missions is on the first mission, and you only get one chance at it.
Ah man don’t remind me. I’m gonna have to do that damn thing again when the HD collection comes out (I am buying it for DMC1 alone lol). DMC1 in wide screen is really gonna change that game. Wider screen means more room for enemies to be on screen, which means even more aggressive combat. Widescreen is actually going to make that game more hard core. So excited.
I haven’t played DMC1 in years. I can’t wait to replay it when the HD collection comes out. I’ll probably play through 1 first since I played through DMC3 not as long ago as I did 1. Then I’ll eventually play DMC2 for trophies or something. I never ended up beating it, I hated the enemy designs so much. POSSESSED TANK. POSSESSED HELICOPTER. CRAZY MONKEYS. What the fuck?
Haha, I should be on tomorrow if you’re up for some matches then. Level 4 Frank is fucking crazy. What team(s) are you using now?
not only that, you can hopefully [and finally] see where those damn Shadow Cats are fucking coming from.
and it’s always the Puppet in the background lurking with the gun. that guy right there, son.
fuck, getting hyped.
God Damn Shotgun Mari’s!!! Shakes fist in rage
What are you talking about? 
Thanks.
No prob, but I’m not sure what you’re thanking me for. Also, I never wrote that… you editing my quoted posts, man? :mad:
EDIT: SRK is auto-embedding my links, so fuck it. I got better shit to do with my time.
Heh ok than dude. I see how it is.

I’m just fucking with ya, man. But seriously, SRK auto-embeds for me when I just post the direct youtube link. I have to wrap the link around non-link text for it not to auto-embed. Too much time 
I use Nemesis/Hulk/Taskmaster. Today I was fucking around with Chris/Sentinel/Hawkeye and that was pretty fun. Fun in the way that I don’t know how to play as any of those three people and just shoot crap everywhere.
I am think I am temporarily retiring from the game. I have like 15 books to read and Uncharted 3 and Mass Effect 2 to play. It’s fun to play no doubt but after like 5 matches of getting chainsawed by frank I’ll be like “This is a shitty use of my time”. I have such crappy execution that I have to sit there in training mode for like 3 hours to get one combo down just in training mode. Then when I get to an actual match I just blank out and can’t do it.
Like I was playing today and was like “I am going to win 100 ranked matches!” then I got a really lagged match, played like 3 teams ina row with Virgil and Wesker and was like “I want ot watch reruns of the wire” and just stopped.
