    Still bullet sponges?

    Is this game still bullet sponge madness? Thinking of reinstalling, just curious

    Depends what your build is.

    If you have a good enough build any enemy in any mode/difficulty is not a bullet sponge.

    I personally feel like they are not too "spongey" (is that a word?), though I think you might find you are.

    What I mean is it seems much easier for the NPCs to hurt you than it used to...but that may just be me.

    And therein lies the rub. You have to make the choice here. Stack into Firearms whereupon you can melt the AI but need to play very carefully as one stupid move will leave you dead for absolute certain, OR you can spec into Stamina (despite the fact that it is not as good a return on your investment) and get more tanky, whereupon 'yes' the enemy become bullet sponges (well the elites do). Purples aren't too bad.

    Don't spec into electronics though. The developers tell you that you should to get a decent heal but you'll be labelled a cissy seeker mine crutch using newb for doing so and get ridiculed out of the server. Just go full DPS. It is what all real men do ... well before they cry about getting one shot by seeker mines and start a petition to get them nerfed.
