I've been playing the 0.38AE version on Gamecore, I'm wondering is this one any easier? The combat towards the end of the game gets way too hard, and not in a fun way. I'm stuck on the subway, getting stunlocked by Margot and her freezes, so much so I can't even act in a turn, before I get stunlocked to death over and over again. Worse, I have to fight her right after Stan, and he's also a nightmare to fight.
Level 20, 1400 health, it all disappears in 3 turns since I can't even act before I get frozen repeatedly (so I can't even use any heals or stims as my turns get skipped). Stan was bad enough with his adrenaline 2-turns-in-a-row crap, but at least he didnt' stunlock me.
I love the game, but the combat balance gets insanely sadistic towards the end.
EDIT: before asking, Manila is fully kitted-out, fiber and balistic armour, shotgun, Gun Fu, 20+ heals of all types, healing herbs, stimulants, I was reading comments there and I expected a difficulty-jump towards the end, tried to prepare, but... no good. I just get stunlocked to death. It's infuriating.
