AI Chris sucks

[BadWolfX]

I'm on 6-3, playing as Sheva and Im onto the final fights. The fight before the plane, Chris is incredibly annoying. Despite continually saying "I'll get you a rocket", all he does is run towards Wesker and starts shooting him. I mean, what the hell?! Each time I had to go load the rocket myself and to make things worse, the dumb ass bastard got himself put in danger so I had to run half way across the map to save him.

Right now I'm onto the Volcano fight and I'm stuck on the part where Wesker leaps across and I have to run over the bridge. I don't know if it's because I'm not pressing X fast enough or because Chris isn't firing at Wesker enough but I keep dying and it's starting to get really fucking annoying. Did no-one test to see if the guy isn't mentally retarded? I never had this trouble with AI Sheva and I was on a higher difficulty with her.

ETA: You can't even cross the bridge part beforehand, it just breaks anyways.

yeah Chris's AI is terrible at times, i think Sheva's is better.

and the part at the bridge you just have to press the button really fast for a long time, it's annoying i know.

[BadWolfX]

Ah, I just did it but I waited until he was closer before I actived the QTE. Damn annoying though. Did no-one test his AI, or did Capcom just think no-one would want to play as Sheva offline?

ETA: I have to give him some credit though, he activated the insta-kill QTE that I didn't know how to do So damn satisfying.

AI Sheva > AI Chris

It's like the single player was designed with the Sheva AI in mind and they just copy pasted things to make Chris's AI when they decided to let the single player players play as sheva as well.

Haha I never played much with the Chris AI. When I tried it out a few times he really seemed to just run ahead of you, get in your way and wind up messing something up because he decided to go ahead of you and by the time you caught up with him it just got worse.

Though at the same time, I guess it makes some sense. That the AIs wouldn't be the same to seem more realistic. And that you unlock Sheva after you BEAT the game, they would have assumed you know the game pretty well so made Chris's AI a little harder to work with.

Though it sucks to hear that he doesn't perform well in the final battles.

Chris is meant to stay and fight Wesker for a reason.

Seriously, if you wait long enough, I'm sure they have a conversation while Sheva is on the top deck and Chris ignores you.

At the Volcano stage give Chris the sniper rifle, put him in attack mode if needed and just mash buttons like crazy. I never had a problem with Chris so maybe I was lucky. His whole "roger" is pretty annoying.

hm....I played through up to chapter 5, and then 6-3 with the AI...I didn't have any problems beyond what most games tend to have with the AIs. Except for in the tanker right before the Wesker fight...the reapers come down and Chris got grabbed like 4 times. Aside from that, I can't really complain. I heard someone saying during the final fight Chris wouldn't hit the boulder...but he went straight for it once Sheva pulled herself up.

[YamiYumes]

Heck, during the plane/platform fight, I just had him go play with the lights...and meanwhile, got the shit kicked out of me by Wesker as I was trying to lead him up the platforms. And then, to top it all off, one time Wesker nabbed me in that shoulder hold thing, and Chris runs up, as if saying, "HAY! I got the lights! Now wut? :B"

I really, really hate his AI :c

Chris is more aggressive, which was ok for everything other than Professional. Sheva heals you more and stay's with you, which matters on pro. Chris will do a lot more of the work, so he's good, if you are just farming and you don't kills or ammo.

[TyrackT71]

it makes sense because chris is the leader kinda so he goes ahead and gets kill

[hellrizer]

Yes Chris has a death wish. Just like this dog.

[Vixtro]

I thought Sheva's AI was alright for the most part but on the last 2 chapters she was really trying my patience. In allot of fights (especially when it came to the AK and Rocket Majini) she just kept running backwards and forwards in places and not really firing even though she had a shit load of ammo.

The bit where you gotta push the crate before all the Lickers get you was the worst, she was no help at all! Either I died because she didn't get them off me when they grabbed me or she died from the ones that leaked down to her level. In the end I did it the hard way wasting allot of ammo killing as many Lickers as possible before pushing the crate and then having to stop pushing half way to kill more because I knew that bitch wouldn't help me. Then when I finally did it I got below just in time to save her from getting annihilated by 3 Lickers...

I'm just going to stick to playing with people over XBL from now on.

[Beef_jerky_yo]

Sheva was better when it came to those lasers. Chris was to stupid to hide in the cracks, and would get hit 2 or 3 time in that level.

[fffour]

Are there any benefits to playing through the game as Sheva aside from the experience? Any extra things you get to see or unlock?
