how to change difficulty or skip cyber explore part of the game?
I found the cyber explore part (probably named 'net world' in English?) of the game too hard for me.
But I already spent hours on finding mission targets and junks (for coins in turn), and I don't want to start all these over.
So, do you have any idea on changing difficulty of this part or some sort of skipping tricks like setting the 'connectivity integrity' always to full, because I have been defeated by these small enemies over and over again? Thanks a lot.

No, you can't do either. You have to restart the playthrough if you want to change the difficulty.

My advice is to never stay still, always be on the move, especially ascending\descending and strafing for example. Those are keys to survival in cyberspace.

While Cyberspace 3 might be harder, Cyberspace difficulty 2 shouldn't be toob ard if you can manage to deal with the rest of the game. If it's set to 2, you can retry as often as you want / need, and will only loose some health, and even if set to 3, you can save beforehand and reload as often as necessary.
It's always the same, so you should be able to try and re-try as often as you have to to finish each sequence.
yeah not a big fan of not being able to reset difficulty.

The cyber space areas aren't too difficult if you do what @Darsiden said. Even on Lvl3 you can essentially strafe around most enemies, and once you unlock the ice pick ability, you can pretty much spam left / right click on your mouse and destroy most things relatively easy.

I was in your situation last week, was one cyberspace bit I couldn't get through. Put the game aside for a bit, rethought my strategy and tried again: presto, managed it in one go!

Didn't want to restart the game as I was already quite a bit in.

Two options:
- restart, set to 1, but at the cost of your progress.
- keep playing, don't lose progress, but need to change approach (the one you've been using so far doesn't work for whatever reason, so you MUST adapt/change).

Plenty people here that can give you hints on how you should move/shoot through cyberspace.

Thanks guys!
As I would lost some health but won't die after failure, I think I selected level 2 in the past. I know it's unusual but these fights are some sort of hard works for me. e.x.at the Library in Research Level, I fought at least 10 times but all failed. I know always keep moving are a good solution, but maybe I just couldn't handle so many bullets and enemies calmly.
In fact, I restarted the game and spent another several hours (with Cheat Engine to speed up animations) to catch up with previous progress. Now I really enjoy playing and cyberspace fights are small cakes to me.
Besides, I still hope that difficulty change function would go online, so that I could raise diff. level when I feel ease at these enemies or quizzes :)
