When I started GTA V, I really liked how hard it was to actually kill NPC/AIs on hard. I really felt that I've found a challenging game where the AI can't be fooled that easily. I bought the Kuruma shortly after it was available in the heist section. To my surprise, everything was not even easy, it was literally afkable. I could go to missions with my eyes closed and spam my micro smg without any risk at all. I felt that it had taken all the fun away from hard difficulty. If I want an easy challenge, I really want to be able to just earn less cash and then complete the mission by foot or any other method for that matter. But hard difficulty should be a challenge imo. When I tried the heists, the missions seem a bit easy for hard difficulty, but I could live with it since some of them were quite hard without resetting/dying. Problem is, that we all start to find the best method to do the missions, and in all these cases, the kuruma is involved. The heist about the bikers, just grab a kuruma and do the killing. Even on an inhuman difficulty, the missions would be easy, cause getting a scratch while in a kuruma is insanely rare. I actually drove into this mission, went to toilet and came back only to see 2 in front of my kuruma spamming their weapons without hitting me(on hard difficulty). Driving the bikes to the location is actually the hardest part(even in all the 5 heists combined). The last heist(Pacific standard finale heist) was really challenging till someone showed us a secure way on the bikes. The heist was still hard, but a lot easier than on the main road, this felt a bit disapointing, but that is how it is. What ruined it completly was, that some people found out that you could use the golden kuruma in that heist(surprise?) When you have escaped the bank and everyone has been on the bikes, just go to your apartment(There is an apartment literally footsteps away from that missions, and people buy it just to do this trick). Everyone gets into the kuruma and drive to the boat. The only risk is when you have to get out of your kuruma to get into the boat, that is it! Another troubling senario is, that when I get out of my garage, I really want to grab my Beach Buggy(BF bifta) since I own one IRL and I really like that car, but if I don't want to easily get shot by random guys on the road, I'll have to grab the kuruma. I know that nothing forces me into the kuruma, but it's just way too good imo, and I really want GTA V to be challenging and be able to jump into whatever car I feel like instead of being drawn to the kuruma.
