Mah CPU haz teh bigger brainz, it has to aim betta!
This is just so amazing. Check out the expert responses as well, it's pure fucking gold.
Having got sick of the current crop of bloated eyecandy FPS's where gameplay is shorter than a Dwarves dick, I've gone back to some older games in my collection due to them not being completed in a couple of hours, and this is where I've noticed they are much much tougher to play now
The microscope puzzle in The 7th Guest works that way. The AI is dumber than a brick if you have a 386 CPU, but it almost never makes a mistake on modern PCs.OldSkoolKamikaze said:Well I suppose it'd be possible if the AI is coded to calculate the best action within a fixed time interval.

You know that's exactly what all of codex sounds like just time period -10 yearsracofer said:Far Cry is totally old school, buddy. It's a game for hardcore players back in the day where multicores didn't exist and we had to live with just one for everything, and we had real RPGs like KotOR, with lots of depth and C&C, not this dumbed down consolized crap we live with nowadays.
Those were teh good'ol days pal.
No that's because next-gen games made you retarded.The games all run perfectly well, but become frustrating because of the deadly accurate enemy AI. These games played fine on lower hardware like my older single core XP1900+ with 1GB ram and an ATI X850, but on my quad core + SLI + 6GB ram it's a nightmare.
MetalCraze said:It can affect their reaction time - yes. But the game has to be really old for that (i.e. made for old CPUs) - with Far Cry it is not the case because since 2004 CPUs didn't become ten times more powerful.
Azrael the cat said:Just a thought - could there be a speed issue, rather than an AI issue, about what's happening off screen? I.e. increased cpu speed giving less of a built-in 'delay' between the point where enemies spawn off-screen and the time when those enemies start shooting? I've got no technical knowledge of computers, so I'm just throwing that out there.
Where some of you people football refs in a previous life? I'm not spreading any bull or trying to make things up, everyone is entitled to an opinion!
Makes sense because before you had less fps so more time to react. Now that its faster you have less time to react so AI seems harder......
