The AI in this game is putrid, far worse than any game i've seen in a long time

They have more communication than most well known developers though and even then its still more important to fix the bugs. That should be priority which will stop the complaining quicker in the long run. Trying to say sorry to every individual on here, which is a lot people, shouldnt come first and will only slow down progress.

What are people even defending? Do you think the AI needs work, yes or no?

All this bickering back and forth and you’ve all lost sight of the topic, you’re just now picking at someone’s choice of words and it makes me think you want to avoid the discussion about the AI.

the AI needs rework but it’s not putrid, not the worst, etc. it’s not even the biggest problem evident in the vid. that shows a multifaceted lack of awareness

the AI lag is the gap between when the NPC become aware of Henry’s presence but doesn’t act. among the 1st 3 Cuman. the first one acted well enough. the other 2 ‘got stuck’ for a moment. their advantage was lost, etc.

no, using hyperbole is to lose sight of the topic. the topic is to improve the game. hyperbole does none of that.

Dude, even he got off topic and started to brag about refunding the game. If he stayed on topic, he would’ve reported this shit to the devs and not ranted.

The enemy camps need to go into an alerted mode once attacked. They shouldn’t be going back to sleep immediately after their buddy takes an arrow to the face. The leashing mechanics are wonky as well as once an NPC is leashed and returning to his natural position he’ll sometimes become unresponsive to attacks and even just stand there.

That still doesn’t show that “a lot of people” are refunding.

Half of those people are probably joking about refunding, and will just go back to the game once bugs are fixed

They don’t even react sometimes, they just stand there and maybe one will yell and start running around in circles, it’s like I’m playing a parody about broken games at time. It’s ridiculous that the game was released in such a deplorable state, it’s clear that they wanted to release the game in a period where there were no other major releases.

Thats a pretty dumb excuse. He has kids to feed so why even pledge for the game in the first place if you cant afford it? You would have let your kids starve if the game was working? Hes talking bs to try get his refund obviously.

It’s ridiculous that the game was released in such a deplorable state

Yes, because only AI in a game matters. You are overreacting kid.

“Look at me! I refunded a game that was kickstarted!”

seems like the pledge had no business making the pledge in the first place

Bud, I really hope WH cust. svc. reps don’t code and that their coders don’t do cust. svc. Their forum is also a joke, crashing all the time with 502 errors, no separate language forums, etc.

They are totally unprepared to play in the big leagues, and I hope modders aren’t disappointed by any Faustian bargains they may have struck to use the Cryengine.

scalability will be WH’s biggest challenge. they’ve made a big time game but have small staff, etc

let’s be honest. gaming giant Bethesda has much greater staffing, resourcing, experience, etc and they still aren’t timely in their responsiveness to bugs, customer feedback. so to expect a small startup to do one better isn’t a credible expectation

It’s a game, the AI represents everything, I’m not playing a game to do mundane task like picking flowers, washing my knickers or sight seeing in the forest, I’m expecting a challenge from time to time, there’s none to have here, so what’s the point of playing?

crashing all the time with 502

It’s because so many imbeciles like OP come to spam “I refunded” that it overloads their servers.

That explains why bigger games that have more sales have the same issue in their forum. Oh wait.

hence this guy is being paid by warhorse to put other’s down, firstly Callaghan every one in this forum has a right to express how they please aslong as its not foul mouthed/hatred/threat’s of violence, secondly only alien’s tell humans they dont have freedom of speech or choice, its what make’s us human, to express our self’s to put across how dissapointed we are that promises made by a gaming company has not been met, if i want to rant i will, and if you dont like it turn to a different bug problem page, no one commands you to sit there and put up with it, so go about your business and leave them alone to express them self’s, FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IS NOT A CRIME!! YOU DONT LIKE IT THEN CHANGE THE LAW’S!!!

It’s not like those companies fund hundreds of thousands of dollars in order to have a smooth forum experience or anything.

online petition(s) re: FO4 not having PS4 mods comes to mind

Biggest single issue for me: there’s no fear. The AI is so bad that you do not fear anything. Henry never gets scared (or scarred) no matter what, takes arrows and slashes to the face like they’re pesky slaps, and the only thing you get a little concerned about as the Player is whether a clairvoyant guard will spot you crouched in a dark corner when NPC bandits can’t spot you in broad daylight on a horse with your drawn bow pointed at their expressionless face from 10 feet away.

My review on this game is balanced. It does a lot of things well, average and poorly, almost in equal measure. It doesn’t matter that WH is a small studio. What matters is the degree to which modding will be supported. They built the combat system separate from the world and separate from the quest and tried to bolt them together. The result is quite obviously commendable but insufficient. And it’s perhaps because of its promise that its flaws are so frustrating.
