I thought it *did* change enemy A.I. a bit. They shoot with more accuracy and search for V with a wider perimeter.

Meanwhile me, playing on very hard from the starts, oneshotting every enemy with a silenced Pride and taking on armies of Maxtac soldiers with Ba Xing Chong while being almost unkillable and still being able to stop bosses on their tracks and kill them in seconds with hacks. All that while being able to aggro and tank damage from the entire Dogtown without dying.
Point is, if you play a game with RPG mechanics, either play on easy or learn and use them. Builds are there for a reason and you can become a walking god on 2 chrome legs if you do it right on any difficulty.
Sure I wouldn’t mind smarter AI but bullet sponges and V being too squishy isn’t a problem on any difficulty.

I enjoy it later game because walking through every fight isn’t fun. But early game it just sucks dealing with bullet sponges.

Tbh, my guy is unstoppable on hard. If you don’t start on very hard, you’ll probably get there eventually

That’s kinda how it works in almost all games.

I hate that it turns some weapons into pea shooters, making them basically useless.
ARs, SMGs and some Smart guns suffer the most. It’s just not fun only gravitating towards the high burst damage weapons in every playthrough.

I play on hard at max.

It’s better at level 40+ when you’re a psychoborg, Hard is the best starting difficulty imo.

I’ve been thinking about sharing my gameplay lately.
I had to put it on very hard because I just wasn’t coming close to dying at all. I play alot of apex where the match is over when you die. So I’m use to playing under pressure. This game felt too easy when I didn’t have the risk of dying. So I set it to very hard, and it was like, yeah, there it is. In Apex you can die in 1 clip of a gun. That’s like 1.5 seconds or some shit. But with good movement you can dance on people and break ankles.
That’s true in this game too, if your doing an agility build that is. The dash + mitigation means you can almost be invincible as long as you keep moving. Combine that with sustain effects with heal on kill, override, heal on Finnish (from either mono or blade) and you can string mitigation/dash with combos that heal.
Mechanically I can just dash and melee and be fine. However sometimes it Does get rough if there are 20+ enemies. When that happens I apply the tier 5+ contagion and detonate it with my melee (both mono and katana apply burn) or with overheat, but it’s funner to just smack them. Plus, if you use melee, then you have a chance to use finisher and gain the corresponding perk buffs.

That’s why I don’t even bother with games higher difficulties when it just makes enemies into one shot aim botters

Dude even on Very Hard the game is so easy, my V is just crazy unstoppable
Treyman1115
The game is way too easy on anything below it. And even Very Hard is pretty easy. By mid game you become a god
KotovChaos
I don’t have to justify. it’s just not all that hard.

Man I played on very hard and thought it was too easy lol

Game is still baby game on very hard.

Did they make very hard difficult in the last update?

Some of the boss fights feel so different when they last longer than 15 seconds though.

Honestly, I can’t play on anything besides very hard. It just boring tbh. Because you just totally rip through everything without it being remotely difficult.
You just have to be strategic and min-max your ideal build from the outset. While being fully aware that you’ll need to be hiding in cover and be careful during the first 5-10 or so hours of a playthrough (depending on what build you’re using) before your build really starts to kick in and synergize.

Very hard isn’t anything too wow, just chrome up and get good iron and ur fine

This is why I prefer fallout survival difficulty over regular hard modes. It makes you and the enemy’s way more weak to bullets. *That’s balance*
Millera34
It doesn’t..even the hardest difficulty is a complete joke
JB_07
I started on the hardest difficulty and still have little to no trouble with the game. I’d honestly like an even harder difficulty.

Very hard isn’t even that tough.
Try playing jedi survivor on the hardest setting 😂

Difficulty didn’t change AI since Fear games.
Outside of Indi games that is.
