I'm referring to the enemy AI. In the PAX demo, you can see enemies are able to search through drawers.
I think you're taking this to the extreme. I'm not suggesting they replicate a virtual world. I'm suggesting they stick to what they already have shown: The E3/PAX demo. It's there, it's already enough to convince us. All I'm suggesting is that they should've kept those feature at least as an option on a higher difficulty settings. Hitman: Absolution's Purist difficulty has a completely different experience compared to the standard modes as it allows you to "experiment".
So, why can't ND take the next step forward considering they've already take measures on trying to make this game different from the rest of the AAA releases this gen?
Exactly, the video has enemies attacking you when it made perfect sense. Even if it's "scripted", at least they immediately reacted when you pulled off your gun. If I were to compare the AI from E3/Pax demo compared to the final release, the former is a 10 and the latter is around an 7 or 8. I want the 10!

Yeah this is the one aspect in the thread that I can agree with, a lot of the time no matter what weapon you're holding, or how many times you shoot them, they still stand there and then charge fearlessly. But, they are still capable of recognising you have a gun every now and then. It seems weird in this instance most of the time they don't respond, as the reactions are in the game. Maybe a bug?

From one of my earlier playthoughs:

To be fair, I charged more gunned enemies than enemies charged me meanwhile I had a gun, so I don't understand the complain of enemies charging sometimes when you have a gun.
They don't charge from 30 feets, when they charge is because there is a real possibility that they will hit before you aim and pull the trigger. And is pretty clear the difference when you get attacked by runners, that runs straight to you completly careless.

Couldn't agree more, I feel like people are over thinking it. The AI in the game consistently surprises me, and I haven't even done my survivor playthrough yet. Some compromises have been made, it's not necessarily a revelation in all cases, but each fight is a pretty consistently awesome experience. Moreover, you can't really find this gameplay anywhere else.
There's another discussion in this thread besides AI and that's the value/damage that can be done by pre release hype. How many times does this board need to get burned by hype/demos/impressions etc before we just start judging these products at face value and ignoring all the bullshit that leads up to it? Games are played - until we've done that, I really feel we should set our expectations to baseline and, as best as possible, ignore the marketing nonsense until its in our hands. I media blacked out hard for this. And I fucking loved every moment of it.
