Super cheap AI that randomly appears even though you just CLEARED OUT the room 30 seconds ago!

Houdini Splicers that apparate in random places, giving you 2 seconds to turn around and find him before you hits you with his rocket (which kills you in 1-2 hits).

Enemies that constantly spawn BEHIND you.

Electrobolt that misses 50% of the time because the enemies can dodge it easier than the other plasmids. Electrobolt, at the same time, consumes half of an eve injection.

Underpowered weapons that can take 12 pistol rounds and still not die.

The way the game bum-rushes you with 6 splicers at once, from different sides, and at random moments, most often killing you.

The combat sucks balls. Not even CoD2 on Veteran was such a huge grief.

The SUPER cheap AI and random enemy spawns.

I clear out a room of enemies, and then! a minute later, 3 guys are BEHIND ME shooting at me (even though I just CLEARED OUT THE ROOM) and before I can even turn around I'm dead. Sometimes, it takes like 5 med packs before I finally kill one of those stupid Houdini Splicers because they'll apparate in random places and you have like 2 seconds to turn around and find them before they hit you with a rocket. Even when I have my telekensis plasmid equip and throw his rockets back at him, I STILL TAKE DAMAGE. dumb. just... dumb. and cheap. yeah, I can't believe it takes 12 bullets to kill one of those stupid splicers. the weapons areWAAAAAY underpowered. the enemy hits you 2 or 3 times before you even hit them ONCE. I can't believe how unfair the combat is in this game. And the elctrobolt MISSES like 50% of the time because the enemy will be jumping around, and the stupid electrobolt has to be PERFECTly on the enemy to hit him. At least the other plasmids will hit an enemy if their within an inch of the aiming reticule.

the combat in the game sucks balls.

imperial_agent

A. It has never taken me 12 bullets to kill a splicer.

B. I do not get hit 2 or 3 times before I hit them.

C. The electrobolt rarely misses for me because I actually aim it at the enemy.

D. Apparently you suck at the game, and don't want to admit it.

I play with no auto aim and I don't have much of a problem killing splicers. If you really suck THAT bad use telekinesis and throw dead bodies at splicers, that kills them in one throw usually.

I agree. Theres no reason an enemy should take a close range shotgun blast and still keep attacking without even slowing down. Or get bashed 12 times with a wrench without going down. Or continue to attack you when engulfed in flames.

One thing I don't like about the game is you have no idea how powerful a splicer is by looking at it. A splicer in one area is totally different from the same type of splicer in another area without looking any different.

Make sure to do research, as others have said. Also, take your environment into account. You can hack turrets and security cameras and what not. There's also enrage and hypnotize big daddy that are helpful. I've noticed that a lot of the big encounters tend to have plasmid upgrade stations nearby. It's helpful to change them out on the fly if you don't have a lot of slots filled or just need to use a particular one for a short bit.

enemies do reappear but it isnt that quick, itd be boring if ud clear an area and then u were just able to do whatever you want. everything ur *****in about seems to be that ur not to great at the game, and if ur having such trouble maybe u should set the diff from hard, which it has to be cause houdini splicers dont kill u in two hits on normal.

remember, you cant say a game sucks, just cause you suck at it.

What you have mentioned has yet to happen to me. I am playing on normal so maybe it is like that on hard. I have had one enemy spawn(or sneak up behind me) turned around and before he could get off a shot, shot him once with the shotgun, he flew back and killed him. With the pistol it takes about 3-4 shots to take down a Splicer. I just beat the medical pavilion so maybe it happens later.

Anyway, I enjoy the enemies to reappear in areas. It adds a sense of "I got to get the f out of Rapture." Also like others say, use turrets and security bot to help out. I took no damage from the boss in the medical pavilion because I used a security bot and other things in the environment. He was actually easier than a splicer :-(

Start on easy, because this game rules.

even though they come out of no where, you gotta realize you in a city with supposedly thousands of people, and even though your only seeing a decent portion of it, it would basically be deserted if they didnt just appear

It sounds like you just don't like the game, all those things are completely up to how you play the game, research splicers and Big Daddies to make your fights with them much easier, I can drop a spilcer in a few well placed rounds, this game is anything but hard at least for me it's not hard.
