10 Video Games With Absolutely USELESS AI

"JOHN ROMERO'S ABOUT TO MAKE YOU HIS BITCH. SUCK IT DOWN!"

When your marketing campaign leads with a slogan like this you'd better deliver something special, not something that you should be especially ridiculed for. Unlike his smash hit Doom - which immediately demanded universal praise - Daikatana showed us just what occurs when an egocentric maniac promises far too much and not only fails to deliver on these promises, but releases a product that's so far from the promotional material that it can't even be considered the same game.

The game that was presented to players was a showcase of how not to develop a video game. The idea of shooting at reflective surfaces that wound the player is a prominent misfire but is nothing in comparison to the enemies who you will encounter in this game. Hostility is normally a word associated with enemies in games but this is the sole exception as the enemies don't engage you at all and instead they choose to run around in circles, bouncing off everything in sight, when they're not running away from you that is.

What makes it even harder to digest is that they also decided to give you an AI based companion, one who ultimately decides that he doesn't even want to be a part of this game and chooses to run around looking for an exit instead of helping you on your "quest".
