I rather prefer the AI to spout lines that reek of bad sportsmanship and trash talk, rather than simply saying "gg". It's good for a laugh!

i dont say good game when it was a bad game :/
and i dont mind anybody who's doing the same
especially saying gg as the winner after a game where somebody left, or you just steamrolled something is in my opinion not the nicest way

I agree with JeeVeS, such behavior is something that your son will be exposed to in the future of his FAF gaming experience, so I suppose this mild bashing from the AI is a good way to make the transition to occasional human bashing experienced in real matches.

I do, however, find such behavior from members of the FAF gaming community to be generally unsportsmanlike and unacceptable, especially when directed against newer players.

I'm still not convinced this isn't a troll due to the shear frivolousness of it, and the graph by stalewee =p. But assuming you didn't grow up around early online gaming like many here did, I guess I can see how you would try to cut down on this more negative aspect of it.

But unfortunately, this is really a futile effort.

As soon as your son is given an internet connection he will be exposed to exponentially more flaming and bad manners than the supcom ai could ever muster. Though FA has less than the average, the mavnoobs, deathlys, cybrankillers, and iridiumBLOWS's will certainly find him. Don't worry, if he's older then 7 or so he's already heard it in school. I can distinctly remember saying whatever I wanted in elementary school but being very disciplined around my parents, and this was the prevailing behavior.

Also, "GG" is often used in a derogatory fashion. The winning side often drops an obnoxious preemptive GG, or players on the losing side say it when not in danger just to illustrate their disgust with their teammate(s). In FA I was exposed to the metaphorical/figurative GG - given by the losing player as if to acknowledge that their defeat is inevitable, though they intend to keep fighting and eventually bequeath yet another GG when they are actually leaving. Shep just gives the metaphorical GG at the beginning of our games. =)

I don't know if you are joking or not.

The only way to get a 'GG' from an AIx is to beat it. And even then its AIx partner will say "i'll get you next time newbie!!'

If you lose you are abused in a virtual way because you deserve it lol. I don't think it does harm. Its only an attempt to give the AI a personality.

I have never found a problem with the smack talking AI... In fact I have almost found it entertaining. However, if it is your son who is playing the game, I can see where your concern lies.

I do recall seeing an option in the settings to turn off AI taunting though...

I'm not personally sensitive. I'm a father, who is raising their kid up to be a well mannered gamer. Shortly after the 'request for patch items' came out, the supper conversation was about why it was OK for the AI to not throw out the GG but they must. Like I said - this is a very minor thing, but is a minor thing I could possibly change.

Is this thread for real? Heelix, if this is a troll, wp sir. But if it isn't, are you telling us you are so profoundly sensitive that the AI's pre-programmed, feeble banter is hurting your feelings? Here's a few of the options you have: don't read the comments, stop playing the AI, uninstall, or maybe (and this is a stretch) consider the prospect of possibly... I don't know... not being a bitch?

After looking at the graph, it appears we need to RAISE the AI smack talking to about 95%, thus giving us the most balanced game. It appears we'll also need better computers to accomplish this.

I bring it up now since we are talking about what should go into the next release. As a code monkey myself, I get them wanting a documented list of enhancements/fixes - even if they are small. When you *beat* the AI, some of the comments it will make are somewhat bm. It is so very minor, but unnecessary.

I totally expect to see some ass-hattery from live people on occasion. New players often skirmish the AI. Be nice if the AI would give them a set of 'gg' variants to learn from.

I hardly think trash talking is a real issue on FAF and therefore why waste time on fixing that? From experience I can say it is really extraordinary what a kind and supporting community we have here.

While playing ET the average comment when you are not good enough is: "LOL LOWTARD OMG YOU SUCK"
And on FAF in a similar situation you get: "Went better than expected, wp"

I know most folks here are PvP, but can we just get the AIx to give a gg rather than the smack talk at the end of the game? BM from a human is what it is, but hate to see most newbies see that as the AI final statement rather than a well played.
