This guy is out of his mind...Far Cry has the best AI ever?

http://owenjohnson.info/2011/03/ai-difficulty/

"Far Cry (2004) uses realtime agents that can be overridden by scripts. There are different classes of AI, all with different behavior. The agents will loop on a script ranging from carrying boxes and fishing, to patrolling, standing guard, or scouting. Then when the player is perceived based on line of sight, sound, or messages from another agent about the player’s location, the agent will snap into a realtime decision mode. Depending on the agent’s AI class, it may run for help, call in reinforcements, immediately attack the player from behind cover, or taunt the player in a colorful fashion and then nonchalantly shoot in the general direction. With careful level design and independent agents that can communicate, Far Cry’s AI is the smartest I have ever seen. The way they change the difficulty for the player is by dumbing the agents down by adding hesitance and making the agents more likely to give after losing sight of the player. Far Cry also employs buffing/nerfing to make the game easier at lower levels."

How about the way dudes magically know exactly where you are even if you're crawling through bushes 2 miles away? Or the way guys will just stand there as you walk up to them?

Indeed. Welcome to the world of PS3.

If it was the world of PS3 then they would be worse, not slightly improved.

Was Halo the first game to have sticky grenades?

The World is Not Enough for N64 has sticky grenades.

Halo was the first game that made sticky grenades fun.

Best part of my day so far: Going to an Italian Specialty store to get Lunch for Chris and the niece and nephew and having every 16 year old girl wish me a Happy Father's Day!

Eh. Whatever.

Happy Father's Day to Robio, Travo and Steel! Hope you enjoy your day!

Thanks Leo. I dunno what I'll be playing later today. For now on, LOTRO will do the trick. Heh. I have dozens of games in the backlog and the one I do play is a F2P one.

I didn't know Bear was a Daddy! Happy Father's Day!

I actually managed to do that in real life once.

The Netherlands, among the top three bookies favourites before the start of the European championships crash out of the group stages with three defeats and zero points.  And that's exactly what they deserve.  A team full of egotistical arrogant fucks like Robben and Van Persie deserve nothing more.  Hope you didn't support this shameful lot IGA
