Original thread.

Title kinda says all.

I'll have my own reply later.

Special weekly question:

What are you most anticipating for 2024 in terms of games?

    far cry 6 is such a slog. They ai is crazy in 5 and 6, either completely blind or can smell where you are even if you haven't shot a gun. Tried playing 6 again recently and I couldn't put up with it for more than an hour or two. far cry characters aren't necessarily good but they're at least memorable. 6s characters I immediately forgot who anyone was

      What really gets me about the dumb AI is that it even extends to your companions. The punk rock rooster you get is basically pointless because it can't reliably target enemies, so it just stands around getting shot at by the AI. And it seems like they tried to fix common exploits by doing stuff like giving every NPC enemy an instant knock-you-on-your-ass-and-take-all-your-health melee attack that you can't do shit about and making it so that the enemies are weirdly bullet spongey unless you use the right type of ammo.
