I've said it before and I'll say it again. The two things that make DC suck so hard are the respawning enemies and the lack of an actual city hub with friendly faces. If the Faceless encampment was more than just an encampment, but a place with actual buildings, people to talk to, and quests to do, the monotony of DC combat and drudgery would be alleviated so much. I usually stop at DC because the encounters aren't very fun, and I get tired of fight after fight with no break. The actual Hollow Earth center is very cool, and I wouldn't change the content (I'd make the maze shorter because fuck that shit, and I'd get rid of the aids respawning enemies in the Mushroom forest too, but that's it).I see DC is still as disliked as ever.
Except that would ruin the whole theme of the place and how it's supposed to be an undertaking, even now it feels kind of lukewarm if you mess around in the warehouse too much (it's fully stocked with everything you could ever imaginably require) or get too friendly with the Faceless.
I think the main reason people are frustrated with DC is the way in which their old tactics fail, shooting it out doesn't work as well simply because enemies quickly respawn... and stealth doesn't work as well simply because enemy counts are high enough that you bump into them (especially at higher difficulties) or they quickly detect you in some weird way like the worms.
