In the original Thief, I remember watching a guard walk up to his fallen comrade (which I had shot from the shadows a few moments earlier), and saying, "Are you all right? No... no you're not. You're dead!" He was smart enough to run away. However, given that this is the game where doors opening, doors closing, things being thrown across the room, torches being extinguished, torches being lit, and footsteps echoing with no apparent source are all dismissed as "just a critter," he was clearly the one smart guard in the whole affair.
This reminds me of that moment in Dragon Age Origins where, after you're attacked by a group of bandits in a back alley of Denerim (iirc), the guard captain says "And people just voluntarily attack you? Are they just stupid?"
how about the guy who put these easy to explode barrels right next to every position of cover rather than an efficient stack in the corner. Or maybe a room dedicated to exploding barrels with the proper fire equipment available.
Lets remember these fearless guys. When I was beginning playing games I was grateful for them. It takes courage to stand and fight in such a dangerous area. Or just no brain at all.

Yeah, especially if you work in combat pairs. When your buddy yells "realoding", you cover his arse. Though White masks in Siege may have been just playing videogames and never erally thought further than yelling "reloading".
Borderlands does a surprisingly good (and sometimes annoying) job with number one. Enemies use cover well, will usually not stand straight up into a sniper's crosshairs, and will actually flank. Great (but sometimes annoying) stuff.

Forget about taking on 20 enemies, in Arkham Origins there's a challenge map where Batman takes on 100 guys by himself. I figure that after knocking 30 out, the others should just run. Now imagine the last guy, still trying to attack you after you just took out 99 of his friends. xD

reminds me of a silly fan-comic called "adventurers!", that made fun of the Final Fantasy games: the Thief Steals a sword from a dagger-wielding enemy, and the enemy actually says, "I had a SWORD?! then why was I using a dagger?" "well, it's ours now." the thief replies.
Gotta love how bad AI's are at reacting to dead bodies. I literally sniped nearly every Legion guy at Cottonwood Cove in FO:NV, and since my rifle was silenced they never realized they were under attack. Well, maybe they just figured all their buddies just died of a sudden case of lead poisoning .
I love how thy run over to the dead body, look around a bit, and casually stroll back to what they were doing. They’re probably thinking “good, didn’t like that guy anyway. Now back to my soaps!”
In Skyrim: "Oh, what happened?" Proceeds to step over (or on!) body and continues along their merry way. The first time I saw that, I nearly choked with laughter!

If my entire knowledge of England was based solely on this channel, then I'd know two things. A: Puns. And B: Everyone has either not yet had lunch, or they're about to go get it. Whether or not lunch is actually ever eaten has still yet to be verified.
Dom Locke I can confirm the puns, we also love sarcasm, these are both essential for being British!! Lunch, we have that anytime from 12pm to um 5am, not including snacks and dinner in between!!
Nope but they have a bunch of cookies(called biscuits) and Scones(similar to a cupcakes)at around 4 p.m. They call it tea, oh yeah they also have tea. haha
Actually, Mike, burglars often ring the doorbell of the home they're attempting to burgle before commencing the break-in to see if anyone is home, because any sensible person in their right mind is going to check to see who's at the door. If they do open the door to check, the burglar will witness them doing this and know someone is home, telling them that the present moment is not a good time to break in. P.S. I'm definitely not a burglar.
...or they could use that as their means of entry if they don't care about leaving corpses/very dazed witnesses with little recollection of what happened as they'd been promptly struck in the face by something (perhaps a fist or a weapon)
@@ocupersgmail it's best to do that in places where guns are illegal, because any law-abiding citizen won't have them, but a non law-abiding citizen will not meaning it's easy to Rob those places when someone's home with Little Resistance, by the way totally not a burglar. P.S I do not condone larceny or theft of any sort
@@themanicman8458 Yeah, If you try to rob someone in Texas or Louisiana, you're likely to be shot. But here in Australia, your chance of being STABBED while robbing someone is much higher
@@DrBarbequeSauce yeah but you seem to be missing the point the robber is not going to care if it's illegal to have a gun As where a law-abiding citizen will therefore the robber is infinitely more likely to have a gun than the Law Abiding Citizen But even if we assume that the robber does not have a gun and both parties have a knife all the robber has to do is case places for a weak Target But also in places where you're allowed to have a gun legally you're far less likely to have your house broken into while you're home which means you're far less likely to be killed by a robber The robber is also far less likely to be killed by you unless you are home It's very simple and does not require much thought if I can think of it than any other idiot can think of it which stands to reason that it would be a common practice TL DR a lot more likely to break in when someone's home if they don't have a gun A knife fight is more reliant on the opponent's physical attributes as where the gun is the great equalizer so weaker opponent such as the elderly have a better chance And the Second Amendment is great I rest my case and good day to you (or night)
My favourite thing to do with dumb enemies is to follow them around. Just walk right behind, less than a metre away - they don't notice anything! Doesn't work in real life though...
To be fair, the "reloading!" thing is totally a tactical thing to do. It's intended to let their squadmates know that they're reloading, so the squadmate can cover him (or at least not do anything requiring him to react for a few moments). If you charge around the corner hoping to take advantage of his vulnerability, in theory you'd be pumped full of lead from one of his allies. The fact that you're not is the dumb thing.
"This ends now! ... is anybody there?" I've said this line IRL at least twice a week. Always awkward when your mortal foe isn't there to see you take a stand.
Max Littlewood you know I was just recently playing the remastered version of Combat Evolved with my brother don't you just hate the invisible enemies with the insta death weapons? Especially when they wipe out your entire Squad whilst wiping you out lol
When i first got my PS2, it came with Gran Turismo 3. One of my cousins discovered in fairly short order that either the AI doesn't have a reverse command (or so it seemed). He spiked a car (because racing is clearly just volleyball) into a slightly concave bit of wall - something shaped such that if you went in at an angle close enough to 90 degrees, driving forward would never get you free - on lap one. It was still there 4 laps later.
You guys are always hungry while doing these segments. Maybe if you finally get lunch after Show of the Week instead of coming up with dastardly plans to get us too press the like button you might not be hungry all the time? Just a suggestion.
I wonder how many clones of Mike and Andy, Jane keeps in her cellar... I mean they never seem to remember how many times they have died over their career...
I remember Arkham Knight enemies would conveniently reveal crucial plot points while you were lurking close by. And speaking just loud enough for you to hear! Love your guys and gals’ work, keep it up!
My favorite part of the Skyrim AI idiocy is a bandit going "Guess it was my imagination." While an arrow has literally gone in one ear and out the other and they only survived because the useless Falmer arrows were equipped instead of my massive stockpile of Dwarven ones.
How about when enemies in games like God of War step keep swarming you, even when they're clearly out of their depth? You had to step over the corpses of your buddies to get to me... you know what a "retreat" is, right?
Devin West To be fair, if a raider managed to sneak up on you, they probably would have figured they could stab you to death before you could back off enough to blast them without blowing yourself up. Unless you're wearing power armor, in which case, yeah, their brain has been totally fried by too many chems.
In Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, enemies would go after unarmed characters regardless of their current target being at 1 hp and a turn away from dying. Yes you could have an invincible evasion tank just unequip their lance or axe and every single enemy would go after them and completely forget the healer stuck out in the open waiting to die.
What about the enemies who were smarter than they should have been? Skyrim as well, when they haven't seen you at all, but somehow walk towards you and even step out of the arrows path at the last second.
I remember being very salty about Darth Sion having like 4 lives while you only have your regular one life in KOTOR 2, until I found his vision is worse than that of a tyrannosaurus with myopia and all I had to do was run around some colums till he loses sight of you and he just stands in the spot doing his powerstance while I healed to full and buffed myself for the 5th time in the battle. Hooray for dumb A.I.'s!
Well technically, if the Ai was competent when they say reloading that is when the rest of AI should be laying down suppressive fire to make sure they have time to do so. More of an AI blunder then actually stating what they are doing.
The Skyrim sneaking system was weird, especially how it was immune to being exploited in Oblivion. In that game, you do any damage to an enemy and they are locked on to your position from orbit.
I always think of the stealth mechanics in fallout new Vegas. If two people are facing each other having a conversation and then one npc's head pop off they don't suspect me standing directly behind them holding a power fist covered in blood.
On the other end of the spectrum, we have the Borderlands baddies that backpedal away from you at approximately the speed of light the moment you are downed, ensuring you never get a second wind
This is mostly an older games' example, but what about old-school RPGies ("Baldur's Gate" for one) where enemies can be bunched together, yet if you move very slowly into their field of vision, you can draw them out one at a time? Apparently when a member of your team suddenly runs off somewhere, you're not the least bit curious what got his/hers attention... business as usual ^^' Also in GTA series (the first instalments anyway) all it took for you to get the cops off your back was to paint your car a different color... yeah, who cares about witnesses that saw your face, plate numbers and the fact you just ran over dozens of people - if it's not a red sedan, than it's obviously not our guy x_x
I liked the way Mafia 2 did it. They looked for your clothes, license plate, and car color. But I felt like they didn't keep up the pressure long enough. If I kill six civilians and three cops, I want the entire PD to make me their number one priority, not one guy with a tommy gun.
How about in Battlefield 1, when, during stealth parts of missions, the enemies will investigate every empty shell casing you throw, until they are in a convenient spot for you to off them. They completely ignore the direction the shells are actually being thrown from, too.
Not noticing Big-Badass-Boldie 47, whilst he wears the clothes of their best mates. I mean, come on, you can´t tell me that this lab-created mass o´ muscles can squeeze his thighs in every pair of pants he encounters during a mission!
This was a great video, but now I really want to know which workmate has to go for Andy to miss 2 days of work and which one isn't worth giving up guarding the office for.
When they can't know you're there unless you're directly in front of them, the castle gaurds in ocarina of time are both extremely short sighted and can't hear link picking up ruppies directly behind them
I'm also grateful when you start picking patrolling guards off and the ones left *don't* realize that their patrol neighbours have disappeared...not even an 'I've crossed Vlad at this point dozens of times, like clockwork...where could he be? Oh well, I'll continue...'
I just had one such case today. Sometimes it's really helpful when (in a scenario where you have more than one way of winning) they simply focus on the wrong thing.
Tenchu series was notoriously good at providing enemies who were blind. Swords sticking out around corners, people hanging in between support beams, and they all saw nothing. Over time, they got a bit better, however they also had a tendency to go back on normal patrol if they found a dead body. Tenchu 1 did have the good sense to at least go and get help, making your life of getting past them more difficult.
Just playing Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory this morning and I was thankful for this. In the domination battles, the AI often doesn't defend the score points well, leaving them open to be captured.
My favourite is the enemies whose patrol routine essentially ensures that at some point every guard will not have any other guard near or facing them. Dishonored, thank you so much for allowing me to choke hold each guard in succession.
To be fair, developers spend a lot of time making the enemies stupid in just the right ways on purpose--so it's not the poor grunts' fault! It's because of a little-known part of the game development process where the developers kidnap the npcs' families and force them to follow their orders and not use their true intellects to obliterate the players.
That's true! Tell you what, should I be sneaking in the pass from High Hrothgar to the Throat of the World, AND there is a bandit nearby who wasn't already been killed by the greybeards, OR the wind, OR Paarthunaax (spelling might be wrong there), AND he can't see me, AND I shoot him, AND in that narrow pass by some ruddy miracle he is also blind and doesn't spot me, then, and only then, after shooting him (or her) with an arrow (AND assuming the raider doesn't then notice that aforementioned arrow) can that raider say "must have been the wind"... phew
Shouting "RELOADING!!" Is actually pretty realistic. You have to let your teammates know when they have to pick up their fire as to not be overwhelmed by enemy fire while one gun is down.
I was always bemused by Skyrim bandits reacting to one of their number being sniped from cover by running over to exactly where their compatriot had been at the time, and standing upright and stock still. That and remarking "huh, must have been my imagination" while still having an arrow protruding from their face.
Other side of the coin. Bastard AI. Police in driver 2 survival or general take a ride those guys totally sucked. Fatal Inertia the moment the get a tether weapon your pinned to the floor just before your nose crosses the finish line or loaded with magnets again before the finish line. Any cop in gta. Look at their car in the wrong way it's shoot to kill.... Edit: I'll add Diablos from monster Hunter because no matter what weapon you have that guy just hates anyone and everyone and always knows when your thinking about taking a potion... The pirates in hardwar: the future is greedy. You pick up one bit of scrap metal in the early game every pirate in a 9 mile radius has you on their targeting computer and lasers primed...
So when the robots take over the world, does our exploitation of this dumb AI mean us gamers will be the first against the wall? Hmm, I think the developers will be lined up first for making the NPCs behave like that, which will give me the perfect opportunity to crouch-run into some not very tall foliage 5 metres away, breaking "line of sight" Far Cry style and then making my escape. A perfect plan.
trismugistus I think I'll hide in a cardboard box, with two holes to look through, they'll never think to look there even if the box has magically moved when the robots weren't looking
Some say he once finished a Hitman mission with only an explosive rubber duck, some say he's still the worst at stealth despite that, all we know, is that he's called: MIKE!
No Assassin's Creed Chronicles? I can't be bothered to notice this guy climbing all around me, darting between posts, pickpocketing me, etc. I'm having a conversation here!
I remember in Eldetr Scrolls IV: Oblivion, enemies were actually competent when it came to arrows being fired at them. Sure, that may have been because there are only two states of detection, Undetected and We're coming to kill you now, but it actually made sense. Unless you nailed them from what seems like the other end of the map, or the farthest range where other entities render into your view because then it makes a little less sense, but is still better than Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's detection system that was borderline broken without mods if you had a maxed out stealth skill with all possible perks
Me : I don't know why but I have a feeling that none of the in-game footage captured are their own. *Proceeds to go through all of their Let's Plays till date* Me : Oh. That's why. Love you guys.
Your shoutouts to Alien Isolation bring me joy. I am absolutely going to do a playthrough of it. No one will really care 1 because it's me and 2 because the game is old but it is hands down my favorite game.

When sneaking in fallout, the enemies quite often say "is someone there"? I often wonder what they'd do if your character said "no".
bilbo_t_ baggins probably move on and stop looking because there is clearly nobody there 😉

Say “no” is a comically falsetto voice and I bet they’d shrug and walk away.

To be fair, you should be informing your team that you are reloading so your team can provide covering fire
l1233799 In which case, the problem is that allies are too dumb to provide covering fire.
and in the case the AI doesn't HAVE any allies around, they would go "I so strongly dislike this situation. plz off me main character. here I'll yell out what I'm doing."
Yeah, especially if you work in combat pairs. When your buddy yells "realoding", you cover his arse. Though White masks in Siege may have been just playing videogames and never erally thought further than yelling "reloading".
half of the time, I end up BLOWING UP the covering fire. what? it pays to be thorough ya know.
I don't know how they train in the terrorist school, but when I was in the military it was taught to always announce when reloading.
Borderlands does a surprisingly good (and sometimes annoying) job with number one. Enemies use cover well, will usually not stand straight up into a sniper's crosshairs, and will actually flank. Great (but sometimes annoying) stuff.

The first lesson they should teach in Henchmen 101 should be: Avoiding the Protagonist at All Costs.
King of Salt Mountain then the protagonist could easily take over the world lol
I love how this can be read in two ways!
1 they are dumb to have chosen someone as magnificent as me, they will die swiftly!
2 they are dumb to have chosen someone as dumb as me, they're going to die at the hands of an idiot lol
The most Edgy comment I have ever seen.
woah, careful coldsteel, you might cut yourself on that edge.
If my entire knowledge of England was based solely on this channel, then I'd know two things. A: Puns. And B: Everyone has either not yet had lunch, or they're about to go get it. Whether or not lunch is actually ever eaten has still yet to be verified.
Dom Locke I can confirm the puns, we also love sarcasm, these are both essential for being British!!
Lunch, we have that anytime from 12pm to um 5am, not including snacks and dinner in between!!
Question: If you become an expat do you have to turn in your Puns and your Badge?
Nope but they have a bunch of cookies(called biscuits) and Scones(similar to a cupcakes)at around 4 p.m. They call it tea, oh yeah they also have tea. haha
@@phyllissmith5980 Agreed. Don't confuse a cup of tea for tea time (otherwise known as dinner time)
I may be wrong but was point 2 a hitchhikers guide reference?
Arrow stuck in the neck of a guard : Where did that arrow come from ??
Another guard : huhh....must be the wind !!!
Actually, Mike, burglars often ring the doorbell of the home they're attempting to burgle before commencing the break-in to see if anyone is home, because any sensible person in their right mind is going to check to see who's at the door. If they do open the door to check, the burglar will witness them doing this and know someone is home, telling them that the present moment is not a good time to break in. P.S. I'm definitely not a burglar.
Chatter Box ...I'm calling the police.
...or they could use that as their means of entry if they don't care about leaving corpses/very dazed witnesses with little recollection of what happened as they'd been promptly struck in the face by something (perhaps a fist or a weapon)
@@ocupersgmail it's best to do that in places where guns are illegal, because any law-abiding citizen won't have them, but a non law-abiding citizen will not meaning it's easy to Rob those places when someone's home with Little Resistance, by the way totally not a burglar.
P.S I do not condone larceny or theft of any sort
@@themanicman8458 Yeah, If you try to rob someone in Texas or Louisiana, you're likely to be shot. But here in Australia, your chance of being STABBED while robbing someone is much higher
@@DrBarbequeSauce yeah but you seem to be missing the point the robber is not going to care if it's illegal to have a gun
As where a law-abiding citizen will therefore the robber is infinitely more likely to have a gun than the Law Abiding Citizen
But even if we assume that the robber does not have a gun and both parties have a knife all the robber has to do is case places for a weak Target
But also in places where you're allowed to have a gun legally you're far less likely to have your house broken into while you're home which means you're far less likely to be killed by a robber
The robber is also far less likely to be killed by you unless you are home
It's very simple and does not require much thought if I can think of it than any other idiot can think of it which stands to reason that it would be a common practice
TL DR a lot more likely to break in when someone's home if they don't have a gun
A knife fight is more reliant on the opponent's physical attributes as where the gun is the great equalizer so weaker opponent such as the elderly have a better chance
And the Second Amendment is great
I rest my case and good day to you (or night)
Hmm I can't figure out where this arrow came from... I guess I must have fell on it again, silly me! Oh, I did it again!
I found all these swords! They were in my spleen.
VG Philosophy is that from The Order of The Stick? Lol
Barry H
Yes it is. Seemed appropriate.
Bandit: "This ends now!" "Anybody there?" XD Why did that made me laught?
My favourite thing to do with dumb enemies is to follow them around. Just walk right behind, less than a metre away - they don't notice anything! Doesn't work in real life though...
Oh so that’s why I’ve been feeling breathing down my neck so much recently
It works in real life if you crouch down. Watch out for stealth farts though.
Beautiful. Now, can I have my wallet back, please?
Brent Dreher Nope :P
The whole Splinter Cell series.
Andy, I think "blind fire behind cover" is what DID *blow* their mind
Respectable AF well done
Missed out on a pun I was thinking the same thing
To be fair, the "reloading!" thing is totally a tactical thing to do. It's intended to let their squadmates know that they're reloading, so the squadmate can cover him (or at least not do anything requiring him to react for a few moments). If you charge around the corner hoping to take advantage of his vulnerability, in theory you'd be pumped full of lead from one of his allies. The fact that you're not is the dumb thing.
"This ends now! ... is anybody there?"
I've said this line IRL at least twice a week. Always awkward when your mortal foe isn't there to see you take a stand.
Enemy grunt #431? Awww man he was my favourite character
No way, man. Enemy grunt #376 was way better.
Jared Parkes how dare the both of you. Enemy grunt #647 was way better. His rivalry with Ally redshirt #465 was legendary.
Suvan Mahara Enemy Grunt #311 was more a fleshed out character.
Please, Enemy Grunt #524 was amazing with his combat!
Personally, I'm an Enemy Grunt #689 fan. The friendship and mutual respect shared between her and Dog #453 felt so genuine.
That moment when you get attacked from behind in halo but breath a sigh of relief because it's just a grunt
Max Littlewood you know I was just recently playing the remastered version of Combat Evolved with my brother don't you just hate the invisible enemies with the insta death weapons? Especially when they wipe out your entire Squad whilst wiping you out lol
"Enemy Grunt No. 431"? Isn't that Janes role in Ready Player One?
John MacDonald now that you mention it, I think it is
Her role is Grunt No. 43. They were too scared to mention Jane's number.. The things she did...
Well she is Grunt 43... and there is 1 of her...
When i first got my PS2, it came with Gran Turismo 3. One of my cousins discovered in fairly short order that either the AI doesn't have a reverse command (or so it seemed). He spiked a car (because racing is clearly just volleyball) into a slightly concave bit of wall - something shaped such that if you went in at an angle close enough to 90 degrees, driving forward would never get you free - on lap one. It was still there 4 laps later.
You guys are always hungry while doing these segments. Maybe if you finally get lunch after Show of the Week instead of coming up with dastardly plans to get us too press the like button you might not be hungry all the time? Just a suggestion.
That would mean that A) Jane would have to let them out of the studio and B) The bear would have to leave.
And c) mike would need to put the axe away
Wait, there is a bear now? I thought it was jaguars, or panthers...I definitely remember their being snakes.
Yeah, but what happened to that ham sandwich?
The correct question is: What didn't happen to that Ham Sandwich?
I wonder how many clones of Mike and Andy, Jane keeps in her cellar... I mean they never seem to remember how many times they have died over their career...
Undizz so she doesn't have any Luke clones? Interesting....and a tad worrisome
Ellen's probably responsible for those ;)
So *that's* why Andy wouldn't miss more than a day or two of work if a coworker dies -- they'll just be back the next day.
I remember Arkham Knight enemies would conveniently reveal crucial plot points while you were lurking close by. And speaking just loud enough for you to hear! Love your guys and gals’ work, keep it up!
Horses and mice confuse Mike. So is the horsepower of a car actually mousepower to Mike?
Maybe he thinks little mice on wheels power the engine.
NragedVampyre Are you trying to say that's not what goes on inside my car?
My favorite part of the Skyrim AI idiocy is a bandit going "Guess it was my imagination." While an arrow has literally gone in one ear and out the other and they only survived because the useless Falmer arrows were equipped instead of my massive stockpile of Dwarven ones.
When you have 100 sneak and you crouch 3 feet away from an enemy in broad daylight and they fail to notice you.
??? ??? No, I supposed not
I have had bad guys actually bump into to me and that is how they find me, or rather my sword and dagger. haha
And you just.... Awkwardly stare until they leave...
I like to do that with guards in Skyrim. These are the guys you're counting on to protect this town from dragons? Just marinate the citizens now.
How about when enemies in games like God of War step keep swarming you, even when they're clearly out of their depth? You had to step over the corpses of your buddies to get to me... you know what a "retreat" is, right?
Well, I mean this. Is. SPARTA!
No, wait, _you’re_ the Spartan. Dammit.
I remember c.o.d. ghosts one of the ai screamed "I'm reloading on the tracks"
Here's an entry for the commenter edition: When enemies fail to see how thoroughly out-equipped they are (i.e. Fallout).
Myomer104 or when skyrim villagers run at dragons while armed with normal unarmored clothes and daggers.
Myomer104
Raider: "This guy has a nuke launcher, I think I can take him with my knife"
Devin West
Reaver: this guy's literally riding a dragon. I think I can take him with my dagger.
Devin West
To be fair, if a raider managed to sneak up on you, they probably would have figured they could stab you to death before you could back off enough to blast them without blowing yourself up. Unless you're wearing power armor, in which case, yeah, their brain has been totally fried by too many chems.
Myomer104 no when the enemy bandit fires a missle right point blank in your face when wearing power armor
Personally I was interested in Grunt #742. He's seen some stuff, man
He was an adventurer, until he took an arrow to the knee.
Yeah, that thing in the flashback scene with his father and the ice cream scoop gave me nightmares for a week!
What about the bit with the marshmellows?
Bloohydra That was bad too, but I felt it was important to the narrative. Remember how it came back with the symbolism in chapter 16?
Yes! That really got to me
In Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, enemies would go after unarmed characters regardless of their current target being at 1 hp and a turn away from dying. Yes you could have an invincible evasion tank just unequip their lance or axe and every single enemy would go after them and completely forget the healer stuck out in the open waiting to die.
What about the enemies who were smarter than they should have been? Skyrim as well, when they haven't seen you at all, but somehow walk towards you and even step out of the arrows path at the last second.
I remember being very salty about Darth Sion having like 4 lives while you only have your regular one life in KOTOR 2, until I found his vision is worse than that of a tyrannosaurus with myopia and all I had to do was run around some colums till he loses sight of you and he just stands in the spot doing his powerstance while I healed to full and buffed myself for the 5th time in the battle. Hooray for dumb A.I.'s!
Fernando Castro also in KOTOR if you pause during your turn you can use med packs and stims from your équipement tab and attack at the same time.
Fernando Castro Sion was difficult? I beat him easily on Hard. Treya is broken on Hard though. Getting one-shot by floating lightsabers is fun.
I think the OxBox guys are hungry, I think lunch came up in every segment!
It’s ok guys! We will let you have a lunch break!
Man i can never get enough of OutsideXbox and OutsideXtra humor. I literally come back for the past few years for this
Well technically, if the Ai was competent when they say reloading that is when the rest of AI should be laying down suppressive fire to make sure they have time to do so. More of an AI blunder then actually stating what they are doing.
“I swear I heard something”
Gets shot with an arrow and looks directly at the player
My bad the time that this happened was 10:37
@@Kagawa-fi8cq lol, when you don't realize YOU CAN EDIT YOUR COMMENTS :3 try it som time, it's fun! (legit trying to be helpful)
I like the term Artificial Idiots for enemies like these
The Skyrim sneaking system was weird, especially how it was immune to being exploited in Oblivion. In that game, you do any damage to an enemy and they are locked on to your position from orbit.
I always think of the stealth mechanics in fallout new Vegas. If two people are facing each other having a conversation and then one npc's head pop off they don't suspect me standing directly behind them holding a power fist covered in blood.
Lacon Herland yay why don't they ask if you saw what happened
You forgot when you literally jump into a 'hiding space' right in front of them and they can't find you after a half a minute.
Kind of a damning indictment of human driving if a machine trying to drive more like a human involves screwing-up a lot more.
I've been in the hospital for 3 straight days, no visitors. These videos keep my spirits up, I love you guys!
Andy is wearing an LIJ shirt that is legit awesome.
On the other end of the spectrum, we have the Borderlands baddies that backpedal away from you at approximately the speed of light the moment you are downed, ensuring you never get a second wind
This is mostly an older games' example, but what about old-school RPGies ("Baldur's Gate" for one) where enemies can be bunched together, yet if you move very slowly into their field of vision, you can draw them out one at a time? Apparently when a member of your team suddenly runs off somewhere, you're not the least bit curious what got his/hers attention... business as usual ^^'
Also in GTA series (the first instalments anyway) all it took for you to get the cops off your back was to paint your car a different color... yeah, who cares about witnesses that saw your face, plate numbers and the fact you just ran over dozens of people - if it's not a red sedan, than it's obviously not our guy x_x
I liked the way Mafia 2 did it. They looked for your clothes, license plate, and car color. But I felt like they didn't keep up the pressure long enough. If I kill six civilians and three cops, I want the entire PD to make me their number one priority, not one guy with a tommy gun.
How about in Battlefield 1, when, during stealth parts of missions, the enemies will investigate every empty shell casing you throw, until they are in a convenient spot for you to off them. They completely ignore the direction the shells are actually being thrown from, too.
Not noticing Big-Badass-Boldie 47, whilst he wears the clothes of their best mates. I mean, come on, you can´t tell me that this lab-created mass o´ muscles can squeeze his thighs in every pair of pants he encounters during a mission!
Pointing out the weaknesses of the AI, now it just knows how to upgrade itself, well done on bringing Skynet that one step closer to reality!
They sound pretty hungry this week. Are they ok, or has Jane been stealing the lunches from the staff fridge again?
This was a great video, but now I really want to know which workmate has to go for Andy to miss 2 days of work and which one isn't worth giving up guarding the office for.
Yeah, that whole "getting shot while reloading" thing is my fault. My bad.
When they can't know you're there unless you're directly in front of them, the castle gaurds in ocarina of time are both extremely short sighted and can't hear link picking up ruppies directly behind them
Just realized Andy is a NJPW fan. You should feature on Cultaholic.
zachf New Japan Pro Wrestling. Los Ingobernobles de Japon is a stable from there.
I'm also grateful when you start picking patrolling guards off and the ones left *don't* realize that their patrol neighbours have disappeared...not even an 'I've crossed Vlad at this point dozens of times, like clockwork...where could he be? Oh well, I'll continue...'
What about when they get knocked over and ragdoll physics takes over, and it takes the remainder of the mission for them to realize they fell over?
I just had one such case today. Sometimes it's really helpful when (in a scenario where you have more than one way of winning) they simply focus on the wrong thing.
My enemies are dumb!
They have one hit point and just run at me.
Tomb8521 The Cool Kid nearly every strategy/tactics game ever
Tenchu series was notoriously good at providing enemies who were blind. Swords sticking out around corners, people hanging in between support beams, and they all saw nothing. Over time, they got a bit better, however they also had a tendency to go back on normal patrol if they found a dead body. Tenchu 1 did have the good sense to at least go and get help, making your life of getting past them more difficult.
When they forget that they just saw someone and they shot you in the foot you should know this mike
The best puns you guys make are in the titles and pun'-lines of the sections of your videos.
Tacos aren't Tuesdays? They really are evil!
I smell a civil war about Taco Tuesdays!
Just playing Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory this morning and I was thankful for this. In the domination battles, the AI often doesn't defend the score points well, leaving them open to be captured.
Tripped and fell on a porcupine???
Is the porcupine okay??
My favourite is the enemies whose patrol routine essentially ensures that at some point every guard will not have any other guard near or facing them. Dishonored, thank you so much for allowing me to choke hold each guard in succession.
To be fair, developers spend a lot of time making the enemies stupid in just the right ways on purpose--so it's not the poor grunts' fault! It's because of a little-known part of the game development process where the developers kidnap the npcs' families and force them to follow their orders and not use their true intellects to obliterate the players.
Jay Servos
SHHHH! They're listening!
Mike missed his calling as a teacher. I have learnt so much from this one video.
Skyrim stealth was the best, especially when an arrow "must have been the wind"... no mate, definitely an arrow
Hautzaus carried by the wind
That's some strong wind
You forget about the wind that blocks the path from High Hrothgar to the Throat of the World. The wind alone can kill you.
That's true! Tell you what, should I be sneaking in the pass from High Hrothgar to the Throat of the World, AND there is a bandit nearby who wasn't already been killed by the greybeards, OR the wind, OR Paarthunaax (spelling might be wrong there), AND he can't see me, AND I shoot him, AND in that narrow pass by some ruddy miracle he is also blind and doesn't spot me, then, and only then, after shooting him (or her) with an arrow (AND assuming the raider doesn't then notice that aforementioned arrow) can that raider say "must have been the wind"... phew
Hautzaus The bound bow.
Shouting "RELOADING!!" Is actually pretty realistic. You have to let your teammates know when they have to pick up their fire as to not be overwhelmed by enemy fire while one gun is down.
damm andy with that LIJ t shirt
I was always bemused by Skyrim bandits reacting to one of their number being sniped from cover by running over to exactly where their compatriot had been at the time, and standing upright and stock still.
That and remarking "huh, must have been my imagination" while still having an arrow protruding from their face.
Confused Dave I would use the throw voice shout to lure them into the open then hit them from behind.
Other side of the coin. Bastard AI. Police in driver 2 survival or general take a ride those guys totally sucked. Fatal Inertia the moment the get a tether weapon your pinned to the floor just before your nose crosses the finish line or loaded with magnets again before the finish line. Any cop in gta. Look at their car in the wrong way it's shoot to kill....
Edit: I'll add Diablos from monster Hunter because no matter what weapon you have that guy just hates anyone and everyone and always knows when your thinking about taking a potion...
The pirates in hardwar: the future is greedy. You pick up one bit of scrap metal in the early game every pirate in a 9 mile radius has you on their targeting computer and lasers primed...
Taco THURSDAY?! What kinda military force is this? Eh, it's still tacos.
So when the robots take over the world, does our exploitation of this dumb AI mean us gamers will be the first against the wall?
Hmm, I think the developers will be lined up first for making the NPCs behave like that, which will give me the perfect opportunity to crouch-run into some not very tall foliage 5 metres away, breaking "line of sight" Far Cry style and then making my escape. A perfect plan.
trismugistus I think I'll hide in a cardboard box, with two holes to look through, they'll never think to look there even if the box has magically moved when the robots weren't looking
just give them a hug Assassins Creed style.everyone likes hugs
Some say he once finished a Hitman mission with only an explosive rubber duck, some say he's still the worst at stealth despite that, all we know, is that he's called: MIKE!
No Assassin's Creed Chronicles? I can't be bothered to notice this guy climbing all around me, darting between posts, pickpocketing me, etc. I'm having a conversation here!
Gehenna27
True, but I put that down to lack of glasses. They can literally only see that far and no further. It’s the Templar bosses fault for that!
I remember in Eldetr Scrolls IV: Oblivion, enemies were actually competent when it came to arrows being fired at them. Sure, that may have been because there are only two states of detection, Undetected and We're coming to kill you now, but it actually made sense.
Unless you nailed them from what seems like the other end of the map, or the farthest range where other entities render into your view because then it makes a little less sense, but is still better than Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's detection system that was borderline broken without mods if you had a maxed out stealth skill with all possible perks
8. They tried to fight me ;)
Me : I don't know why but I have a feeling that none of the in-game footage captured are their own.
*Proceeds to go through all of their Let's Plays till date*
Me : Oh. That's why.
Love you guys.
Maybe all the AI is just so advanced theyre actually just role playing really hard and are just garbage at everything bc they're nerds
Your shoutouts to Alien Isolation bring me joy. I am absolutely going to do a playthrough of it. No one will really care 1 because it's me and 2 because the game is old but it is hands down my favorite game.
