Yes, but the problem itself exists throughout the game, not just in one particular area. It seems like something one could expect to improve with patches over time I would hope, otherwise the mission completion choices that are available for gameplay styles shrinks due to difference between reality and practicality. Or one can hope at least. :)
There should be a patch out for the game within the next week that improves things but from what Iwi said, I get the impression it will be mostly console focused so not holding my breath for any major improvements. I will likely complete my playthrough before it comes out though.
Hope they sort things out over time so future playthroughs are more diverse and replayability is more of a thing though.
Right now I'm plodding along the main quest line slowly while exploring all the nooks and crannies of Night CIty finding some fun easter eggs n stuff that one would probably normally miss. :)
Arachnarok_Rider: Did something like that. But quickhacking was a bit slow. Contagion on breached enemies that then have reboot optics and weapon jams dumped on them is pretty fun as an opener, but the big problem I tend to have is that aside from tygers, the smart weapon + legendary short circuit crit spammer approach is just too damn powerful. You don't even have to aim. Just sprint up while throwing smart bullets in the air and let the software find their targets and everything dies.
Oh, and cyber-psycho is fun but I do prefer legendary reset, just in case you're supposed to take someone alive.
But still, some times you're asked to do something quietly and in my experience it can indeed be done, most of the time, but it tends to work better if I simply reset optics (which is non-aggerssive) and rush past enemies instead of silent non-lethal take-downs and whatnot.
Yeah, I have a lot of crit boosts stacked to the point where my normal sniper rifle gets up to around 105,000 points of damage from a single round with crit, and seems like around 30k without crit. But I get more crits than not so my crit % has to be over 50% by now. I normally use the smart sniper rifle and smart machine gun that fires 3 round bursts, but both are super powerful. The smart weapons are both an advantage and a disadvantage. When there are enemies that you want to actually hit, the smart guns are more of an advantage than not, but if you want to shoot the same gun and explode a car or environmental explosive the bullets tend to seek meat rather than metal, so you have to switch to a non-smart weapon sometimes to blow something up.
More often than not I walk into an area with complete disregard to how many enemies there are or how powerful they are, throwing caution to the wind and get myself as close to the center of it all, or wait until you get the trigger sound that they're eyeing you up as a threat. Whichever happens first - I kick scan mode into gear, double jump as high as possible with my leg mods, and tag as many enemies as I can see from high up, throwing group and then individual hacks at them as I fall back down, then repeat this over and over in a circle. If they even get their hands on their guns and get a bullet off at me, I dodge bullets in slo-mo until I've killed them all with hacks. I usually only draw my gun after they're all incapacitated. Then I walk around from purp to purp after the fact, blowing their heads off at point blank range to finish them off using Judy's gifted MOX shotgun. Even though it isn't the most powerful shotgun in the game in terms of stats and damage, it IS the most powerful shotgun in terms of what it sounds and feels like, and that 1-2 foot kickback it gives off that makes it feel like a friggen cannon. I love that. LOL Nothing is as satisfying as finishing the enemies off at point blank with that shotgun. :P
