minus-squareCheeseNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 year agoDidn’t colonial marine turn out to actually have really good AI that totally changed the game feel that had been broken by a single misplaced semi-colon or something?

Unfortunately for that game though no amount of delays could’ve helped it, there were many more problems besides the AI. The AI was just the biggest problem.
minus-squareR0cket_M00se@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoWell the AI went from “literally dogshit, you can run past them without a second thought” to “oh you have to fight them now.” Not sure how good it is in the grand scheme, but at least the update fixed their brokenness and made the game playable.
