Is it just me or is Bioshock 2 stupid-easy?

Ah, so you're not finding it that difficult either.

The original wasn't that difficult (I'm pretty sure I played it on hard) but in the first half of the game, things still got hairy every so often and got me panicking and fleeing.

Honestly, I think what is breaking this game for me is the rivet gun. I use it constantly for small enemies, which conserves my ammo for the more beastly things when the need arises. Then, when I need to guard a Little Sister, I just trap rivet the shit out of everything around me. During one corpse harvest, I saw a whopping two splicers get through my rivet farm. I could have taken a nap.

The rivet gun came in handy for gathers, but I think the hilariously overpowered drill tonics are what broke it for me. If you stack Drill Power 1 & 2 with Drill Specialist and Drill Lurker, you can literally bash your way through the vast majority of the game, even on hard. Then throw on Drill Vampire, and you even heal as you bash.

I've only recently started dabbling with the drill because I got drill bash a few hours ago and realized that it's a ridiculous tank weapon. I forgot to mention that I also use that fairly often.
