Default Re: Well, I\'m through with the game

Sure, the AI isn't brilliant. But it's enough to give you a run for your money and have fun exploring the game. You can get more hours out of Dom3 than your average first person shooter, without ever doing MP.

From independent to mass-market strategy, AIs of about human level are in perilously short supply. Your average strategy game is massively more complex than chess, and when you consider how long and how much effort it took to get good chess AIs, expecting it of computer games - especially when they have to code the rest of the game and think about the next title as well - is a MASSIVE ask.

Be thankful that the AI doesn't just gormlessly dribble on you a bit before falling over it's own shoelaces. If it can challenge you in the learning curve and keep you busy when you're reasonably experienced (as Dom3 can), the designers have done enough.
