Those are really cool thanks. Its true that people are so immediately dismissive and frankly rude in both snarky remarks and it belies a rather limited vocabulary. Among my most loathed would be Toxic, cringe, trash, and garbage. Such simple and poorly constructed arguments or points I tend to just dismiss now. I apologize for the rant but your post has a point and reminds of how regularly these things are thrown around.
Its been a while since I've been genuinely surprised by A.I. in a game, but, and I will probably get flak for this, the most recent was one unexpected encounter in Fallout 76. My friend and I were out scavenging far beyond our level and came across an old homestead, when we spotted super mutants and decided to slowly pick 'em off. We were doing great but then one of my shots missed and one of his didn't kill his target. They alerted the whole area and we were swarmed so I said I'm falling back to a house I saw in the lot. We both had bolt actions with low reload speed which was intense, the enemy didn't stop rushing and my mate was eventually hit by a Molotov which was hilarious as he ran around trying to put it out.
Anyway we closed the door and started bracing for any foes out front. They started going to the windows and shooting through, we had to act quick! Eventually fighting got crazy having to run around the bottom floor blasting through kitchen windows and and the whole place was being shot up. Then as we were running out of ammo and switching weapons the front door I was sitting behind exploded and I was injured and we ran upstairs and starting shooting down the stairway and lobbing 'nades. It was sheer chaos. Eventually we had like 30 seconds of respite to heal and loot till we heard a booming fat voice chuckle and blast us in the backs! Some mutants had somehow climbed up on the roof over the front porch and were trying to get us that way. Dude in the end we survived with him hiding behind the bed and me in the bathtub just shooting out and lobbing grenades and molotovs. It was the most intense and fun battle I've had in a game in years. The way they'd mock us, call us out, and then all the laughs they had made it feel like we were in the world facing off against legit intelligent foes. The encircled the whole house too. And in the end we found where so many were coming from. The house we picked had an old basement turned into a base of some kind lol. I know the game has its flaws but I'll never forget that.
Horizon was an absolute blast to Platinum and I plan on doing the dlc soon enough. I can't wait to see what Guerilla does next.
