You said that before. But what's actually better than on normal difficulty? As I said before, the enemies are still stupid as a loaf of bread. They only seem to take more punch.
Survival mode is almost entirely a new game. Every decision is a tactical one that has to have risk / reward evaluated. The difference isn't in how smart the enemies are, it's in how smart YOU need to be.
You can carry substantially less. Everything has weight, even ammo and stimpacks. You can't just load up a metric asston of stimpacks, ammo, and big guns with heavy armor.
You have to eat, sleep, and stay hydrated, meaning you have to secure food and water sources, and you need to know where usable beds are. You can get sick. You can't fast travel. You can't save except by sleeping. Everything hits harder.
It may not be to your liking but it is an entirely new experience, and it's hard - very hard if you set the difficulty before leaving Vault 111.
