* ''VideoGame/DeadAheadZombieWarfare'': When it comes to combat, units' AI is painfully simple. They engage in fights only with enemies closest to them, ignoring anyone else standing by their side. And once they chose a target they lock onto it until it's dead, letting other enemies go past them. All these issues lead to a general lack of coherent teamwork. Instead, you'll often see several units ganging up on a single zombie, even if it's very weak.

* The little creatures for which the game is named seem to be completely blind to the hazards around them. While this has improved with each game, going from, say, ''VideoGame/Pikmin4'' to ''VideoGame/Pikmin2'' will have the player marvel at the lack of self-preservation in earlier titles. Whistle to your blue Pikmin to summoning them to the water? Any reds that are too close will happily march straight across the water with them. Red Pikmin can't swim. Take a few Pikmin that you thought were all electricity-immune yellows to destroy some electric hazards, set them on the electricity, and oops. Apparently a white or two was in there as well. Too bad electricity's an insta-kill in ''VideoGame/Pikmin2'' (it was nerfed in latter entries so it only stuns Pikmin, but that's still an inconvenience when many enemies roam around).

* The series in general has a bit of an issue with Pikmin trying to path through walls, but there's a particularly outstanding example in ''VideoGame/Pikmin3''. In one area, there are several clipboards lying around with fruit (which the playable characters must harvest to survive) lying underneath. The player has to use Flying Pikmin to lift them up and get to the fruit underneath. Unfortunately, nine times out of ten, the Flying Pikmin will end up trapping themselves behind the raised clipboard, become unable to escape, and invariably die at sunset.

** If there is enough room, the AI will actually flank your entrenched machine gun pits in a rare case of ArtificialBrilliance, even changing its path according to where you build them. The problem is, you can easily divert it through even basic sandbags, and enemy soldiers will happily go straight into your heavily fortified bottlenecks if that is the only open way.
