Well-implemented enemy AI is characterized by the believability of opposing NPC movement, how they converse, behave, and react to any given situation created by the player. It's an important ingredient in maintaining player immersion, with the success of combat-heavy experiences especially hinging on the perceived intelligence of the game's enemies, and how they perform both individually and together.

Yeah the enemy actually use the map to their advantage and even use items like oil to set part of the map on fire.

Elden Ring

I love FROM game but yeah the AI is dump as hell, even for the bosses, what makes them difficult is their attack patterns not because of smart AI.

Is the first F.E.A.R still king in that regard?

 

[01011001]

they have elden ring in there... a game that has a very "stupid" ai on purpose because the gamedesign wouldn't function otherwise.

list instantly discredited right there

Embarrassing list

I love Elden Ring (GOTY) but in what way is the enemy AI smart? The input reading isn't that clever at all, you can cheese so many areas and you can do it the same way every single time. Zelda 2 from 1987 have better enemy AI with the shield mechanic. Edit: Recent games. Fine, there isn't much to choose from I guess.

Elden Ring?

Hell the guy even mentions that the game is using relatively dumb input reading.
The first clip is him walking right past an enemy to stab them in the ass.

Some good choices and some terrible ones.

The guy seems pretty confused on what makes an ia good.
