Sheva's AI is fucking horrible.

[Dot50Cal]

Seriously, I'm in the trainyard now and the pack of 900 dogs are coming around, gang raping us because she is incompetent. I realize you gotta get up top, and even then you order her to attack, she doesn't. Its just such a cluster fuck now. I need to give her an item, she wont stay near me long enough to, or if she does, she just runs away after so I can't give ammo.

Does it get worse? No spoilers please.

Edit: Playing on veteran.

As of right now, the coop partner is a total fucking gimmick. Maybe good for online play, but I'd rather it be there only and take on all this myself.

its better to keep it with you using the cover command because on attack the AI has the tendency to wander off and get itself killed..

give the AI an SMG, it works great with it, really accurate. Don't bother giving it the sniper rifle because it'll never do head shots.

you should concentrate on doing the bulk of the fighting yourself and leaving the AI to cover you from enemies coming on the blind side.

also, don't let the game get you down because of the dogs, the dogs on veteran are fucking hard, that's fact.

This is just ruining my first play through. Fuck it, im going to normal and starting over. I'll do the higher difficulties with an actual person.

[BadWolfX]

Wow is she that bad? Or is it because of the difficulty?

[A-J]

it's because of the difficulty, the enemies aren't that overwhelming on normal. The gap between normal and veteren is pretty substantial.

damn dot that fucking blows, im happy as hell im playing with a friend on my first play through now.

on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the dumbest ) how retarded is shevas AI?

Well, that's a relief.

[Mesker]

Havent tried on veteran, but on normal she's actually really good. She's saved my ass many many times and she also does a good job at shooting enemies and staying alive. But like i said, havent tried on veteran yet, so i don't know how she acts there.

[BadWolfX]

So AI on Easy and Normal and people on Veteran and Pro?

[Borman]

Shes that bad. Basically, I felt like in the middle of the game, she was relatively competent, but not good by any means. In the beginning, she was mostly getting in the way and wasting a shit ton of ammo, at the end, she was getting in the way and not shooting at all.

[News Bot]

That is the only part I had trouble with her. I blame the dogs more.

[nemesiswontdie]

damn it seems like shes really really horrible

[HOTvirus]

yes it gets
in act 5 and 6 on normal, things starts to be stressful

playing in veteran you have to take a look in her all time, because she becomes dumb enough to defend her self...

in professional is becomes unplayable to do in single player.
I personaly stucked at El giant boss fight

[News Bot]

damn it seems like shes really really horrible

Not really, she never once gets into "Dying" with me, and I've played on all three difficulties so far.

Balls to Professional though.

yes, i manged to finish the game just fine though,she is a walking bag, nothing more, though it will get more painful later on in the game with some enemies that can kill you in one hit, it pissed me off so much and i had to restart countless times because of her running off towards enemies , way to go capcom .
