AI Team is most useless AI in universe
I am playing through a new character (using the AI teammates) and am wondering why I ever started to replay this game.
I am doing the Faction Missions for Mads and went to the hospital to find the settler guy. I put my guys near the chopper (as I had left them outside for backup and after the cut scene they magically appeared next to me) and went to find the Sentinel office. As I am making my way there I notice one of the blue triangles on my mini map is running back and forth against the side of the building, nowhere near the helicopter a 100m away. I get to the office, the bad guys show up and immediately start shooting that guy (turns out it was FIxit). He almost immediately gets shot and taken out. I tell the other two they are cleared hot, as I am in some heavy combat and want assistance. They both yell battle cries and proceed to crawl towards the building at a snail's pace. Over and over I try to spam the Cleared Hot command but because you have to press a different button to access that menu I constantly shift my inventory from the grenades I need to other things hampering my own efforts. Meanwhile they constantly yell they are going to kick *** and consistently do nothing.
I eventually clear the guys on my level and heal myself and then notice that all the enemy has instantly decided that there is nothing wrong. Again I spam get some and they yell battle cries and do nothing. They have entered the building by now but shoot one guy and bypass the others to climb the stairs (one does this while the other is still by the door) so that they can presumably attack a guy on the third floor. More enemy show up and start shooting me. I am screaming and pleading that they help me. They continuously assure me they are seconds away from unleashing God's glory on the enemy and yet STILL do nothing. I heal Fixit myself and he immediately runs off out of the building. I again spam help me! help me! He as well yells let's get it on and runs away from the building!
In all my years of playing video games (I am 47) I have NEVER seen such crappy team AI in a very long time. The only games that I know of that comes close is Rainbow Six Lockdown (2006, another UBIpaymemoney game) or Daikatana (2000, Eidos games). Even Wildlands teammates were better than these sacks of useless potatoes.
