Stupid enemy AI and design

[Sargnagel]

Absolutely annoying crap. Pathfinding for dogs doesnt exist as soon as you step up on any obstacle. They run away and come back when placing a foot on ground. But hey: Because this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ isnt annoying enough, they designed cloning dogs - and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ motherdog is a bulletsponge worse then hell. Did they even played this bugpile of a game once?! WHO THE ♥♥♥♥ THOUGHT THAT THIS MIGHT BE FUNNY?!

You don't say.

Yeah just keep practicing Stalker! 💚 you'll slay the mutant dogs in no time!

[Foe]

So you rather want them to stay around you and get Shot? I See.

BAd bait, moving on.

Totally how I saw it.

Who looks at the zone and thinks yeah should be a fun little walk? Rookies... that's who. So go learn the ropes STALKER. If it bleeds, you can kill it.

Thats the stalker shills for ya, defending every bad design with something dumb.
Pulling the weirdest brain gymnastics to explain why the game is perfect and how you just suck.

Yeah that enemy the psi-dog is just trash in general.

Except when it keeps crapping out 500 clones, 500 clones that can kill you. Keep in mind I played SoC and CoP and I have never considered psi-dogs really aggravating to kill.

Funny. Psi-dogs aren't that annoying in the previous titles

If the Psi-dogs piss you off, you might as well uninstall the game now. There are other mutants in the game that are gonna slap you like a B*tch. Just sayin.....Good hunting S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

That's way better than if they just stood below you and waited to be shot, It shows a bit of intelligence. Also Psi dogs were in the earlier games, they are annoying but not a new thing

I noticed something stupid with the dogs (and many enemies too). If your on the ground, they come running at you. Jump on a box or something and they all retreat into a building or behind a wall. Jump back onto the ground and they all come rushing out again. So damn stupid and tacky to look at.

Regarding human enemies. I entered a pretty rough looking building. Walls were missing for the most part and there was just these old concrete steps going upwards to higher levels. The place was void of any enemies. Soon as I walked up to a certain point on the concrete steps, bandits just spawned/materialised in. I tried lobbin' grenades first and there were no enemies. This is a just cheap and crap tactic. Having enemies literally appear out of nowhere as you reach a certain point shows how tacky the whole thing is. They are also bullet sponges and I find aiming with an xbox controller is real hit n' miss. I have bad trouble with combat. Aiming especially. No other games, just this one. Not sure if its lag or something. Just feels real off to me.

One final point..

I was in a gunfight with some nasty bullet sponge bandits. About 6 friendlies walked in and just stood there. They were in direct line of fire and neither did they get hit or joined into the fight. They just stood for a bit and walked away. Those bandits were only interested in me. The AI is real crap and I hope they fix this.. especially the over the top difficulty spikes. I will say though that headshots are the best method for quick kills.
