They somehow made the AI worse than deathloop.

 

[IDKFA]

I thankful this thread exists. I now won't need to waste time and storage space downloading it.

 

[UnNamed]

AI is the last of their problem in this game.

 

[LostDonkey]

I don't know why people are acting surprised?

Can you show me this amazing AI in previous Arkane games? No?

Didn't think so.

All their games have terrible AI. They're dumb as fuck.

 

[SSfox]

Everytime MS aquire something we know how it ends, remember Rare.

 

[Sentenza]

People are mocking them but as the last notable developers who used to tackle a genre I love, it fucking pains me to see Arkane reduced to some crappy assembly line of generic GAAS trash.

 

[Luipadre]

Deathloop had the same brain dead AI but some people said it was meant to be that bad lmao

 

[Freeman76]

Its a shame really, the setting is really cool

Dark Messiah Might and Magic [...] negativity

Rare's Sea of Thieves is doing very well.

 

[Fuz]

This is bad by 1997 normal standards

Half-Life soldiers disagree.

More in that thread as well.

lol. well that's insane.
i'm going to put money on it being a script that's breaking.

 

[Holammer]

I ignored the game because it was a 4p co-op title and Arkane is behind it.
My preconceived notions save me again!

 

[Darkness_Arises]

The human AI is piss poor unless they're grouped together but I think that's kind of by design, they are supposed to be the enemies you wipe through. I've played almost three missions and some free roam and the vampires I've come across are all aggressive and interesting to face.

Only real glitch I have come across so far was a cultist human walking backwards.

Is this a human enemy or a vampire?

 

[Danjin44]

Is animations in this game downright broken? WTF!

 

[Buggy Loop]

Oh i get it now!

Motherfucking Fentanyl-Tranq zombies were simulated in game to be realistic. Vampires succumbed to it!

 

[DirtyBast8rd]

I honestly don't even know what this game is about. Haven't followed a thing since it was announced and thought it was going to be sheit. And I'm a big fan of Dishonored and Prey.

 

[GymWolf]

I just don't get it, dish2 on max difficulty didn't had a super smart IA, but enemies were super vigilant with good hearing\sight.

Why not just using the same ia for this game?

They even had the stealth kill animations already done from dish and deathloop, why not using them? it's not like other games don't recycle their animations in sequels etc.

 

[ahtlas7]

You need Redfall level intelligence to buy this game.

Maybe it's true that michael jackson was a vampire all along.

It's a metaphor for killing wealthy people and capitalism bad. True story.

this looks like a sprite enemy from a 1992 CRPG

 

[Alebrije]

"I can do this forever"

 

[Umbasaborne]

Phils silence is deafening right now

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

a disaster like this will shut down the studio.

I feel bad for arcane. Xbox is taking massive flak for this and sadly shutting down the studio is the kind of thing you would expect them to do.

They can do better, Deathloop was like two years ago.

 

[Tomi]

Is this new Babylons Fall ?

 

[Sleepwalker]

We were told lots of things. Funny that those who told us those things are nowhere to be seen at the moment.

Untethered shilling

 

[systemr123]

Didn't anyone play test this??

I can't imagine these vampires taking over a nursing home, let alone a town.

I think it's actually very realistic. See e.g. the latest 2 American presidents. Imagine them running "the greatest country of the world". One can't even walk and speak most of the time. Yet, he rules the free world sort of. If he can rule the whole free world, it's not so far fetched that these vampires can take over a small town.

 

[systemr123]

Half-Life soldiers disagree.

Yes you have to go much sooner even. 1980s Super Mario enemies have better AI than this.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Rare's Sea of Thieves is doing very well.

Microsoft bought rare 21 years ago... bit long for the investment to mature no?

And hey I loved viva piñata, bit sad the game didn't become a success.

 

[Represent.]

Lmao 7 billion dollars for mobile quality games

 

[worldwithpyramids]

Deathloop had the worst AI I had ever seen in a AAA game up to that point so not really a surprise. Somehow that game got 10s though.

 

[kiphalfton]

Probably because they removed all the things that make (or made) Arkane games good.

Didn't they learn from Wolfenstein Youngblood?

 

[Raven117]

Deathloop had the worst AI I had ever seen in a AAA game up to that point so not really a surprise. Somehow that game got 10s though.

The gaming press was willing that game to be good.

The head of arkane among many of the top guys left after prey. This is not arkane as we knew it.

They would never make something like this

 

[Fake]

They somehow made the AI worse than deathloop.

They always love some challenge.

 

[ReBurn]

Sounds like a game I might be able to beat

 

[ReBurn]

Is this new Babylons Fall ?

No it is the new Redfall. Babylon's Fall is from like last year.

 

[hyperbertha]

The studio must be shut down

Why? They were obviously forced and rushed into making a mediocre concept and product by bethesda. Arkane is obviously a top tier studio.

 

[splattered]

How does s*** like this even make it in a game in this day and age? I haven't installed it or tried it but at this point I'm not even going to bother

 

[Panajev2001a]

How did this go through QA? I guess the real question should be if it even did.

It did not pass QA, issue was flagged and a PO/PM/BigHoncho said "not MVP, post launch fix lolz".

 

[SABRE220]

How did this game even get 7/10 scores from reviewers in this state....jesus Christ what are these reviewers doing. In what state must a developer release a game before the reviewers start saying this shit is unacceptable and the scores reflect that. We have had games running at 15fps recently and reviewers be like"great game very technically ambitious"....

To release a game in this state after seeing cyberpunks walk of shame is just mindboggling. Microsoft cant catch a break I mean, Im hoping they nail starfield but at this point..

 

[adamsapple]

The studio must be shut down

jesus, these takes .. lol

 

[Warablo]

Move on to the next game, didn't like the look of this game from the start.

 

[Danjin44]

The studio must be shut down

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Why are people on steam spending $70 on this?

Marketing. Which is where all the budget for this pos went

 

[Captain Toad]

Rare's Sea of Thieves is doing very well.

Yeah, so is Roblox.

 

[Diddy X]

MS keeps on releasing bad games, I see nothing has changed then?

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Probably the worst AI I've seen since Metro Exodus.

thank you. Ill never touch this series.

I would have assumed the deathloop concept meant they HAD to have great AI to keep the game interesting. To me this developer is shit.
