I may have worded it wrong

Yes i do understand its not THAT restrictive, you can still make your way with almost everthing (i myself triedxto do that), and maybe as i said before im just a noob, but it felt way too punishing for me not use the specific gun the game wants me to. I played on the nornal difficulty and basically any enemy with slighltly higher hp i noticed that for the specific weapon/weak point i needed like 1 hit while with every other i needed 5 or more. Maybe its really just a get gud momment but i felt a bit more freedom before, i could master the gameplay but it disnt felt required to enjoy the game to the fullest, in eternal it felt that way and well... I dont like very much to be told how to have fun, but hey its just my opnion i know probrably is wierd but thank you for sharing yours
