intelligence probably isn’t the right
word for what we’re trying to describe
why am I talking it’s unlikely you even
understand welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top 10 video games with the
worst AI don’t you move now cherub huh
for this list we ranked the most
annoying AI in videogames whether it’s
because they’re too hard too easy or
just plain dumb children I’m Colin we
decided to exclude 8 and 16-bit games
since those can be forgiven due to the
technical limitations of the time and
finally while we’re still doing one game
per franchise we decided to allow whole
series of games in one entry if the AI
never gets any better number 10
halo series
yes we have tons of fans of this series
in the office but the Marines drive us
all nuts even though they’re supposed to
be on your side they can barely shoot
their guns to help you out and they seem
like they’re begging to be destroyed by
your enemies and please don’t think
about asking them to drive a warthog or
a tank because well you’re probably
gonna be there for a while number nine
Rogue Warrior do you usually have
trouble taking down your opponents with
grenades if so this may be the game for
you because your enemies will normally
just stand there and let themselves get
blown up when you throw explosives at
him they’re not particularly observant
either the other guide never seems to
notice that anything’s happened to his
buddy who was right next to him a second
ago happy fourth of July motherfuckers
number eight Starcraft you can have a
lot of fun ordering your troops around
in this game but rarely when you have to
order them through choke points when you
try to get large groups of ground units
up cliffs they tend to block access to
the entrances and let enemies take them
out one by one
apparently the Protoss are great at
designing walking crab tanks that can
teleport across the galaxy to wage war
but damned if they can figure out how to
get through tight spaces in single file
number seven grand theft auto san
andreas complete moral wrong for such a
defining franchise the games really have
some awful AI and San Andreas is the
worst offender
despite supposedly being loyal to you
your fellow gang members often won’t
help you out the cops themselves aren’t
much better since they have no qualms
about standing around and waiting for
you to fire at them but worse are the
firefighters who seemed to have flunked
out of driving school and we’re still
put behind the wheel number six
Dead Rising good all right
you’d think that the zombie apocalypse
would be cause for alarm but you
wouldn’t know it from the way the
survivors in this game behave fantastic
you’re tasked with escorting some of
them to safety which would be hard
enough if they were cooperating with you
fully since you’re surrounded by hordes
of undead
unfortunately they prefer to do stupid
things like get stuck on water fountains
or sometimes just attack you you know
for fun I really owe you one
number five fallout series where do we
even begin with this series well in the
first game your allies don’t seem too
intent on helping you they shoot you in
the back whenever they get the chance
and they’re all so fond of trapping you
against walls so you can’t keep playing
not only that but talking to some NPCs
can be weird it is bad
vault is good please go destroy bad
place and in fallout 3 and new Vegas all
the NPCs seem to have no sense of
self-preservation or in this case a
sense of anyone else around them
number four day katana John Romero is
one of the most legendary designers in
videogame history being one of the
creative minds behind classics like doom
and quake but he failed spectacularly
with this FPS title and the AI is one of
its worst aspects sidekicks Superfly
the stereotype Johnson loves to get in
your way by standing in your line of
fire and damsel in distress Mikiko seems
to want to stay in distress
based on her reluctance to pick up
health and weapons on my way I had to
get it number three
Resident Evil 5 the first time you play
single-player your ally Sheva will drive
you nuts because she’s such a liability
she doesn’t seem to care much about
defeating the enemies because she tends
to walk into your line of fire or worse
over tripwires and often she uses the
wrong weapons against bosses and will
always waste healing items on minor
wounds will never win like this time to
change tactics what’s even worse on top
of all that if she dies it’s game over
because of her stupidity playing this
game co-op is pretty much mandatory
number 2 aliens colonial Marines
you’d think that Xenomorphs would be
terrifying to take on there are a bunch
of them but they don’t gang up to take
you out or sneak up on you they seem
content to just run straight at you to
get picked off in some cases their AI is
so chaotic that it looks sort of like
they’re dancing your allies aren’t much
help either sometimes getting stuck in
doors getting stuck in your way or you
know just firing their guns at walls
before we get to our number one let’s
take a look at some dishonorable
mentions just leave me at these beam
number one ride to hell retribution on
way Jake on your feet it’s time no AI
sucked more than what we saw in this
title so much so that it had to make it
onto our worst games of all time list
shit the simplistic hand-to-hand combat
only allows you to punch kick block or
break blocks but you won’t need anything
worse against your enemies because they
never put out much of a threat shooting
isn’t much better because aiming is
nearly impossible but again the AI
enemies are pretty much suicidal since
they have no idea how cover works and
either run straight into your line of
fire or right into a corner
do you agree with our list which
videogame AI do you think would be
eligible for a darwin award for more
artificially intelligent top 10s
