10 Video Games With Absolutely USELESS AI

Things just keep going from bad to worse for Bethesda and for the Fallout series in general which seems to be on a rapid decline since the series' high point of Fallout 3. Fallout: New Vegas went completely under the radar, Fallout 4 wasn't exactly in alignment with the rest of the franchise as it completely dismissed the RPG elements that made it so popular in the first place and then there's Fallout 76.

Likely to be touted as one of Bethesda's biggest critical and commercial failures of all time. Fallout 76's launch was almost symmetrical to that of any EA game post 2015, for those not in the know, this means that it was an absolute disaster upon it's release. The game was supposed to be a return to form for the company and instead of doing exactly that, the ambition of the title was quickly diminished on arrival.

The artificial intelligence, if you can call it that, was egregious nightmare fuel. The grainy visuals were clearly intended to promote a desolate look, but the humans may be the bleakest element in this world as pixels and polygons seem to scatter wherever they want to, rather than when they intend on being with the game's infamous mutants looking more intelligent as a result.

It was so bad in fact that Bethesda themselves all but abandoned the game and instead left unofficial modders with the undeserved task of fixing this ridiculous shell of a game, one that is still being denounced and severely despised by fans nearly three years after its imbuement.

Shame on you Bethesda.
