So I installed the PS3 patch 1.05 and I got to Primm. There were only four convicts in total outside the hotel. Two on the street and two on the roller coaster. Now I remember back when I used to play it before 1.05 that there were about 4-5 on the street and about 3 on the roller coaster. Is this a bug or did they change it to make it easier? Thanks, I hope this is the right place for this.

I've noticed the same thing, post patch. I've noticed in other spots as well. I think they did it to make the loading times shorter.

Dunno about any shorter load times, but that is the way it is now, it's no bug. I suspect they just nerfed the difficulty a bit so noobs wouldn't get schooled upon entering the town. I never found the extra enemies to be that hard, nice low level challenge, in my opinion ::shrug::

Those guys were already weak. If you have the pre-order stuff you steamroll all those convicts.

Though the convicts in primm have been reduced. Gangs overall have been greatly buffed. Now most gangs have at least one guy with a grenade rifle. Can usually get pretty nasty as you cant dodge them unlike dynamite. Dynamite itself has been buffed though.

Yeah, I've noticed Vipers carrying Grenade Rifles, when I'm low level too. I agree, though there are a few less enemies, they seem to be a bit tougher.

One developer mentioned some of the improvements as being better memory management. Its possible (just a guess), that the roller coaster is taxing, and each enemy adds to that, and that it was possible to get all of them onscreen at once... I think that would cause frame rate problems that would be lessened by having a few less enemies.
