Does the Entity and the sniper rifle make everything too easy?

[BarryRiley]

I can't remember the last time I had a mission that I found difficult (and I'm not exactly an outstanding player). Once you have the Entity and the sniper rifle, everything is simple. All I do is drive to a vantage point, take out the visible guys then drive down to the bottom and reverse-shoot the remaining guys in the Entity (since it has no back window). Getting away is also a breeze if you have bullet proof tires and a high level of vehicle armour. I even finished the LS Connections on my own on hard without a single death as I'm sure anyone else could do with similar equipment.

 

I know I could just not use the Entity and the rifle, but it's pretty difficult once they're there. I just wish R* would vary the missions a little as they're so formulaic that once you have a system, you can complete them all.

Try a buzzard lol, entity sniper what?whats that?

^Its still prone to failure though. Those super accurate bots can snipe you out of buzzard from pretty far away.

Just don't use them.

I only use my entity backwards against people that goes on foot and tries to auto-aim me.

You are given the means to make things easier and you complain about it?

 

What the hell?

I'm just saying it's made it too easy.

 

The other formulaic element which makes it unchallenging is that fact that every time you have to collect something, the bad guys are programmed to arrive just as you enter the vehicle. Therefore all you have to do is enter the van, exit the van and find an appropriate point from which to kill them.

 

The laziness of the programming and design of the missions is lessening my enjoyment of the game.
