>>5889750
he cute.

>>5889761
He looks like Alf or something. This may be the moment that the cracks were beginning to show in Square as a company.

>>5889769
>>5889750
it was different time. People tried to make unique monsters.

Now this monster would look some MMORPG dragon N#23412341241
and your age shows with your complain

>>5889750

>>5889862
Fuck off zoomer, no one ever liked the designs of these monsters, including in the original reviews of the game.

>>5889750
First of all, fuck you for making that the picture of the thread OP, that specific scene scared the shit out of me when I first saw it, and also I legitimately am afraid of those creatures. The boss fight with the white one was torture for me. Yeah I'm a bit wuss when it comes to horror but I thought those monsters were pretty legit. That said, you're right about some of the later designs, Glutton was a pretty fucking stupid design.

PE2 is not survival horror. Except from a couple of scenes, it's not supposed to be scary either.

I think the monsters are cool. They stay away from the cliché stuff of the time like "attack of the giant insect!" which both Resident Evil and Silent Hill are guilty off.
They fit with the design ideas of the game, the goofiness is intended (why else do you think the main villain would keep laughing all the time), and coupled with the fact that some of the monsters used to be human, is what makes it unsetling.

I can not play PE1 anymore myself, it feels dated in a bad way. PE2 however is awesome and has infinite replay value.

>>5889750
I'd think that's pretty fucking creepy.

>>5889750
OP = Autist

>>5889943
>I can not play PE1 anymore myself, it feels dated in a bad way.
PE1 has way more soul than 2. This isn't up for debate. It is just shallow and showy at many points. PE2 is a dumpster fire in terms of its vision for what the hell it is. A cowboy theme, really?

>>5889750
The monsters are better in this one than in PE1.
In PE1 like 90% of the monsters are just edgy version of animals. PE2's monsters have a decidedly John Carpenter's The Thing feel to them.

>>5889750
don't know what you're complaining about, that monster always looked disturbing to me

the only enemy that looked kinda goofy to me was No. 9, I mean check out that face

>>5889769
Nah, AFAIK it was Square Development Division Nr. 5 who made this game, which IMHO was one of Squares better In-house studios. I really liked Most of their stuff i.e. Einhänder or the fantastic All-Star Pro Wrestling Series (Not Retro btw), but I haven't played Brave Fencer Musashi yet. I wonder if the Dev. Division #5 is still around and what they're Up to now.

>>5890341
Little remains of old Square today. The people from that team probably moved on to other companies and projects.

>>5889897
>disagrees with me
ZOOMER!111

best ng+ ever

>>5890365
yep

You haven't played PE2 if you haven't played the 4 NG+, normal game is nothing in comparison

the replay value is insane

>>5889750
Monsters? They look like monsters to you?

>>5889750
I think you're just a faggot, OP.

>>5890554
kek.

Never played the games. What are PE enemies? Genetic experiments?

>>5891281
>Never played the games.
You should. OP is a retard btw and no one agrees with him.

>>5891309
Wrong. Fuck off. Fuck you. Just ignore the thread if you don't agree. Sage. I sage you.

>>5891995
seething

>>5889750
This whole game was a fucked up fever dream of Aya's and no one will convince me otherwise. Nothing at all made sense, the locales made no sense, everything was fucky, and then you get into the whatever the fuck final area and it's shit like:
>"DO YA WANT US TO TURN YOU INTO A EXPLODING HEAD BABY? INVEST IN OUR PROJECT TODAY!!"

The whole fucking game was a fever dream brought on my mitochondrial Eve shit inside Aya's pussy one night. FACT!!

>>5890341
probably shifted around and mostly ended up at platinum games

>>5892203
man the more i think about the more i realize how based it is

the whole thing is just such a natural progression, the mitochondria becomes a new technology to abuse, it ends up being totally uncontrollable and gets completely out of hand

the perfect excuse for Aya Brea the most powerful being on the planet to just go and massacre an enormous research facility filled with freak monsters and cyborgs

she's so powerful that undead aya brea is every single enemy in 3rd birthday, she's too powerful to just be a final boss in someone else's sequel

this entire series is so bizarre i can never dislike anything about it

>>5889750
Honestly, this guy is more likely to show up in my nightmares than a necromorph, despite having never even played PE2, so I don't see the issue.

>>5889750
dude nightmare camel bruh is pretty sweet. look into his eyes even then he was saying "bruh you vape bruh?"

>>5891281
they're animals and people, mutated and weaponized by sentient mitochondria. pe2 is a sequel to a video game that itself was sort of a sequel to the original novel so it's pretty far removed. also it was written by the guy who wrote resident evil and it shows

>>5889750
The monsters are meant to look like human/animal hybrid freaks, this is literally the lore behind them.

>>5889943
>PE2 is not survival horror
Neither was PE1.

>>5892401
yes

PE2 was directed by different people than 1. That's why it's so radically different

PE = vast array of rpg style animals to fight
PE2 = smaller cast of horror monsters.

>>5889943

PE is a lot more unique while PE2 is Resident Evil with some spells.

>>5889994
>A cowboy theme, really?

I totally thought PE2 was gonna be like 1 and we'd bop around Los Angeles. Then we went to Dryfield. And kept going. And I was like "okay when do I finish this and go back to LA?".

>>5892420
Nope. PE1 was a jrpg with heavy horror elements with 0 survival horror elements.

>>5892436
>0 survival horror elements.

Made up genre that deoesn't exist.

>>5892440
Okay

>>5892436
I was agreeing with you


>>5892424
>PE2 is Resident Evil with some spells.

not really. PE2 is an action-jrpg. Is Resident Evil an action-jrpg?

>>5891995

>>5893197
announcing a report is also a bannable offense

>>5892512
bruh, it literally had ex-resident evil designers who made the game.

>>5893228
Oh, so that's why PE2 was shit compared to the first game.

>>5892512
Light gun shooter

>>5889750
being such a huge fan of the first, it was a huge disappointment to play 2.

>>5889750

>>5893228
So by this logic Resident Evil is like Goof Troop?

They hired people who knew how to make a game with 2D pre-rendered backgrounds and 3D models. That doesn't mean every game using this technique are survival horror, or else Final Fantasy VII would be.

The only "survival horror" elements which PE2 has are adventure game elements which you can also find in other jRPGs, such as a "limited" inventory, which just like in Final Fantasy IV, is "limited" but has a shit ton of slots.

That thing is creepy as shit

Also, the enemy designs make sense to me.

Try reading the book, which the first game heavily relies on for it's story.

>>5896187
I still have my copy and re read it sometimes.

one thing I was never clear about re: the mutants in this game... the woman who turns at the beginning... was she infected, or a Zoanoid-type sleeper agent who turned on purpose?

>>5897784

I read something about how they can turn back to their original base human form briefly to blend in.

>>5889910
some where great, some were stupid.
the giant flamethrower boss was terrifying too. some NMCs too ... and some where just weird.

Should I start with PE or can I jump right into PE2?

>>5899504
well it's a direct sequel, but it can be mostly played on its own. PE1 didn't even came out in Europe, only 2.

>>5899504
I player 2 First, when I was a teenager. It was a awesome. 4 years Ago I tried PE 1, tô satisfy my curiosity about the origin. And I couldn't finish It, so Boring man. Go straigh to 2, you wont miss that much of a gameplay experience.

>reinforcements actually show up
>well trained marines kill the shit out of the enemies you were fighting with zero casualties
Name a more based sequence in vidya.

>>5899504
Finish PE1 first so you can know yourself how inferior it is to PE2.

>>5889750
Shaggy from Scooby Doo sure has aged horribly.

>>5899774

I think the scene was inspired by the writer going "wait, wouldn't the army totally wreck these guys? Most of them are just armed with laser swords".

>>5899504
start with the first one since it's the better game

>>5889750
they were trying to copy that one book about human evolution from the 90s where they tried to predict what future humans might be like, and the whole thing is nightmare fuel
you know, the "there must be more to life than this" thing

Anyway, it's a fantastic game, one of my favorites. While the enemies may generally look bad, the rest of the game is beautiful.

>>5899960
I hate that book. The whole thing hinges on the belief that the entire human race will completely lose morals, ethics and then the entirety of any semblance of enlightened civilization, in that order over the course of aeons. The only thing halfway plausible is the that the humans that managed to leave earth millions of years beforehand would come back as fucky midget bug abominations, since that much time away from the home world would have changed their physiology in wacky ways, and life out in the dark of space would have probabl force them to develop a long standing insectoid/communal civilization. But yeah, the whole thing is cringingly bleak for bleak's sake and written be the same kind of hipster nihilists that write form tv shows like West World.

>>5892440
All genres are made up

I prefer 2 over 1 because of it's change to a more resident evil type formula. That being said 2's soundtrack is garbage compared to the first game.

>>5900287
>That being said 2's soundtrack is garbage compared to the first game.
I like it so much I bought the CDs. 1's is generic and unmemorable.

Fuck I wish they made more games like this.

I enjoyed PE1, despite the difficulty halfway through the game, that fucking museum needs a map. I tried to play PE2 afterwards and it felt like a Resident Evil 3 copy, even Aya looks similar to Jill Valentine.

Aya is cute tho.

Can i get redpilled on this game?

>>5901046
>>5899981

Fuck, now I want to replay it.

And by replaying it that means replaying it 4 times, all modes.

>this motherfucker in bounty/nightmare mode

Anon, you DID save the dog, didn't you?!

>Wind element master race

I used to only care for Fire until I was told how OP Necrosis/Apobiosis are. Thanks Anon, you were right.

Necrosis is especially amazing in Bounty/Nightmare modes
>mfw the poison stuns an enemy one second before he'd kill me

>that one Anon's theory that the FBI agent is Kyle Madigan

>>5901346
I thought this too when I was a kid

>>5901346
>FBI

sorry I mean SWAT.

>theory solely based on the fact that he carries the same gun

I mean it IS the same gun, pic related, but it sounds more like to me the devs would re-use Kyle's gun instead of bothering to make a new gun model just for one scene.

>he doesn't trick Golems into killing each others

>he never did a Gunblade vs Gunblade fight

My only 2 grips in this game are:
>all the shit you unlock by playing in Bounty/Nightmare/etc are only useable in REPLAY mode
>REPLAY mode which isn't worth playing after you've tasted BOUNTY/NIGHTMARE

I understand it'd make these modes easier but come on, on your first playthrough you'd hardly unlock anything for those modes anyway

Also
>in bounty/nightmare, for most of the game your best guns are the basic P08 and M950, depending on the situation; and this until you get the SP12
I like the challenge but it gets old fast to only use those

The book was originally scanned years ago but the first scan was like hurr durr no one wants to read dev interviews or see storyboards so I'm just gonna stick to purdy picturs. So it had to be re-scanned.

>>5893228
> it literally had ex-resident evil designers who made the game.

People always say this about PE2; but in the game, Squaresoft's talent shines more than that of the RE guys.

The technique that mixes pre-rendered backgrounds with FMV videos is used a lot through the game, and that's a Square thing, that you could find in FF8 for instance.

On top of this there are tons of things to make the backgrounds dynamic: dynamic lights, effects like water, smoke, etc, can be found everywhere; and the backgrounds themselves are dynamic, a lot of them have variations (lights turned off or on, be it articifial light or night/day cycle), things that break or move in the backgrounds and which influence navigation, etc

That's without mentionning all the things Aya has to say when interacting with stuff in the environment.

Meanwhile, RE2 had none of this and was very static.
RE3 (which did not share devs with this game), had some dynamism, but not as much as PE2.

PE2 must be one of the best game with 3D models and 2D pre-rendered backgrounds, technically speaking. It's all Squaresoft influence. Even PS2 games like Onimusha, while having higher res backgrounds and more detailed models, do not have this kind of dynamism.

when will indie developers start making retro-inspired games of this kind?

>>5905761
Not gonna happen, "tank controls" would divide people.

Or they'd have to do like REmake HD re-release and include camera centric controls as an option; and therefore gameplay balancing would be a mess

>>5905865
not necessarily; there are enough people scattered around the internet who like them

If underrail can be a successful retro-inspired iso rpg, im sure somebody could do a PE2 clone

Just beat the game on Bounty; I think I'm going to skip Scavenger this time around and go straight for Nightmare.
Frankly, I find Scavenger to be boring (few weapons) and less challenging than Bounty, too. It's supposed to be more challenging because you can't buy as much stuff, but I never buy anything anyway to try and get the best score possible at the end.

anyway
>Ringer Solution gives a really shitty BP bonus
>mpboost 2 gives 3 times as much

How does this make any sense? Anyway this is why I only ever heal using Ringer Solution, and Protein Capsules, unless I'm playing in Normal in which case I don't even use those


Also, Giant Baby confirmed to be one really annoying boss; on Bounty/Nightmare, even when I know the best tactic to get him, I still tend to die a couple times. I should probably not use heavy weapons like the M249, the dmg output encourages it, but it makes Aya way too slow.

I believe that weapon's weight also affects running speed (on top of turn speed during aiming and aiming stance speed), though the internet won't confirm, it becomes quite apparent when you're trying to run around Giant Fuckcae Baby

>>5905761
There's a few, but the only ones I know of are either probably never going to be finished or just not good.

>Nightmare difficulty
>those fights in nightime Dryfield you have to go through after N°9 bossfight
>including some which can one hit kill you even if you have the max hp possible at this point
>can't save and you have to go through N°9 again if you fail

Fuck, this is the meanest part of the game. Ironically N°9 isn't even the hardest part.

>>5905865
normie genocide when?

>>5901419
Don't tell me "this... nadiga..." is supposed to be a "This is Madigan". I played this game dozens of times in all modes and I've always thought this was some kind of mistranslation (aka the original text has an incomplete japanese word that was written as-is on the english version).
I feel extremely dumb now.

>>5908480
yep, there is:
>...nadiga
>the gun which is the same
>later on in the game it's established Kyle knows about the Akropolis Tower incident even though he's not supposed to

>>5908480
It's a lot more explicit in some other localiztions, It's been a while but I'm almost sure in FR version it straight up is just his name backwards with no "..." to indicate the radio cutting up / Aya not hearing everything through the door.

>>5908539
>his name backwards

How does that make any sense

It's definitely kyle. I always thought it was obvious. Never knew there was an argument about it online.

holy shit this hurts

reached the end bosses on Nightmare
>despite having the best available armor for hp+ and using all the protein capsules available, his charge attack still kills me in one hit
>died 3 times before making it to Eve, at which point I thought I'd finally make it, never died against Eve before, not even on Nightmare
>get overwhelmed by Eve's ghost and gangbanged to death

I swear, if the ghost spawns when you're in a bad spot, when you need to reload, there is nothing you can do. Not even Apobiosis can stop it.

Here, have a Coca Cola montage, I narrowed it down to a total of 6-8 references, depending on whether you count those in the fridges or not

People that claim that PE has sequels are all tasteless pleb to me.

>>5910812
Maybe because i was a retard back in the day, but CocaCola used to have some pretty cool adds, i even had some miniature coke bottles and some sick Santa key chains with little coke bottles.

>>5910829
Found it.

>>5910821
PE1 arguably has better atmosphere and story, but PE2's gameplay is 10 times superior. It also has much better new game+

There we go you giant baby fuck.

tl;dr
>Nightmare difficulty
>only bought 2 items: PAGST Vest and M4A1
>used very little items; iirc only one MP Boost 2 and one Recovery 2 (Blizzard Chaser bossfight) and 4 Ringer's Solution (end boss fights); had to discard a couple of Stim/Penicillin due to the lack of space in Akropolis

This is the best BP Bonus I've ever had and very close to the maximum possible in one playthrough

>>5910901
and I used all the Protein Capsules as well. I guess those are worth a lot of BPs so I'm not that close to the possible max; but I don't even want to think about playing Nightmare without buying the PAGST Vest and/or using Capsules

>>5908602
Was about to say you're missing the M203 but you only get that with the medicine wheel, you are missing the shoulder holster though
On the upside you can try EZmode Scavenger (pretty sure scavenger lets you try with 1% of your BP bonus as starting money) , just grab the medicine wheel and keep it at all times, there's a few surprises along the way for doing that.

>>5910910
Isn't the Shoulder Holster buy only?

>>5910923
It's the bonus for the lvl 5 shooting gallery.

>>5910924
oh fuck, I had no idea. I never bothered with the shooting gallery. How hard is it to get?

also
>Scavenger mode using Medicine Wheel
That sounds like a great idea. Could rape some bosses with the Gunblade without feeling too bad about it since it's higher difficulty

>>5910932
>How hard is it to get?
Not too hard, especially if you know about stacking energy shot, M4A1 also makes it easier by a fair bit, the rest is memorization
You also get up to 300 BP for exceeding some target score I don't remember, so that's 1500BP (probably less, lvl 1 and 3 are fucking hard to get 300 BP bonus on without the broken replay mode gear) extra, and there's prizes for all of the other levels.

>>5910946
Well all there is available for it in Scavenger/Nightmare is the basic gun, so I say fuck it

>>5910821

PE1 IS a sequel, anon...

>>5911076
of?

>>5911161
a book

If you buy a first Medicine Wheel, then get another one after Glutton, does it make a difference if you attach both?

Same question about other special items like Skull Crystal, Ofuda, etc

Playing Scavenger with the Gunblade and it's fun. Decided to go for worst ending because it's been a while since I went for that path, also the Chicken Plate actually helps in Scavenger

>>5912661
Pretty sure they don't stack but I've never actually tried

>>5899774
there's no actual reason besides plot that a fully equipped military force wouldn't be able to kill anything a solo protagonist would

resident evil is notorious for making military forces retarded while making the player characters demi-gods

>>5912775
yeah I tried, they don't seem to give anything more; at least for medecine wheel. I have yet to try with other items like Skull Crystal etc but I doubt they do either since you can buy them in replay more

>>5913147
well aya has special mitochondria that make her immune to shit that just autokills regular people

and she has skills and powers that let her fight monsters after this fact

>>5899774
what was even the point of creating golems if they can be taken out so easily?
But then you have No. 9 who took an entire SWAT team down by himself

>>5913147
Aya is Magneto lite with Wolverine like healing and the power to melt/vaporize stuff, cause vacuum shockwaves, control/rot cells including bones, and cause nuclear explosions with her mind. There is a whole lot of shit she can handle a group of marines or an army battalion has no business getting near.

My main complaint of this game is how bad the character models look in-game; how they made aya look like a soccer mom instead of her petite busty bombshell look from the first one, and just how blocky they are in general. Also, I *really* wish your appearance would match what you're wearing.

>>5913945
lol this nigga died to the fucking fish

>>5914040
Well the fish if you leave the bridge in the lower position are the hardest enemy in the game (mostly because stunlock), so not very surprising.

>>5914065
>>5914040

Yeah you're supposed to raise the bridge. And I think the fish are infinite?

>>5914070
>And I think the fish are infinite?
I'm pretty sure you can defeat them but they take more damage than default.

>>5910901
>>5910902
>>5910910
Fuck, I'm looking at a FAQ for all items you can find in the game, and there are actually a couple of items I didn't know about. Mostly they're not worth much but turns out there is a Protein Capsule in the Growth Room (where you have to baby sit Eve out of the room) that I never knew about, as well as ANOTHER Lipstick in Neo Ark which is worth quite a bit of BP

Finished a Scavenger Run
>bad ending
>bought Medicine Wheel at the start
>Used Gunblade throughout most of the game

Playing with the Gunblade was fun. One shooting Golems with it is satisfying, especially the "stealth" ones. Raping the Blizzard Chaser in a couple of hits was also cool. Sadly it's not worth much against other bosses; the "giant Bowman", or whatever its name is, was painful up close.

My inventory was 100% full at the end of game. All 5 boxes were full, my inventory was full; and I had to discard a bunch of penicillin/stim.
Technically I could have done better since I used all Protein Capsules and I didn't really need to; and I also discarded some small stuff (Stim etc) in favour of keeping ammo I never used; as a safety net. Also again I didn't bother with the shooting range, fuck that thing when you only have the M93R.

In terms of BP, buying the Medecine Wheel at the start of the game doesn't make you lose THAT much BP in the end considering you still get back half of its price + other prices you got along the way like the Gunblade. I'd say about 6-7k BP was lost that way.

One noteworthy thing is that I didn't use all my exp, far from it; I had more than 20k left when entering the final boss room; meaning i've got one hell of an exp bonus for the next ng+ now

I might attempt a speedrun in Normal next; in regular conditions

>>5914040
>>5914065
Fun fact, last playthrough I beat the game without using the Red Key and raising the bridge, it's not worth any end game BP so there is no reason not to raise it unless you're in a hurry

at the start of the game, in the training room, can you actually get enough BP to buy the shotgun or the AR? or those better armors?

Also, akropolis; there's no roof, right? It's mostly open to the sky? I just noticed that it's all black.

Fuck, man, the lab subjects descriptions are really horrifying.

>>5919101
>at the start of the game, in the training room, can you actually get enough BP to buy the shotgun or the AR? or those better armors?
The max you can get from the shooting gallery is 1500 BP for acing every single levels, so nope, but after the tower you can get the good stuff, granted the actually useful gear you can't get until after the tower or you already win it in the shooting gallery.

played this game like 12 times

just now noticed you can open this white wooden box at akropolis, down the escalator near the church

>>5919223
I knew about it, but just like the Lipstick in Neo Ark or the Protein Capsule in the room next to Eve's, I had completely forgotten these things existed.

This game has quite a few nice secrets, like the shotgun ammo if you open the truck of the car with no wheels in the garage

>>5919101
Nope, you only get one try, and potentially one reward per shooting range level.

I say potentially because if you play one of the levels, don't get the best score and save, congratulations you just locked yourself out of the best reward.

That's why I say "fuck this thing" on the higher difficulties; imagine only getting to use the M93R for it, having less MP/HP; and having to reset after each try. It's way too unforgiving for an early game training session.

I'm trying a new challenge in Nightmare difficulty:
>100% kills
>no shop
>no consumable, which means no healing items, no belt pouches, no protein capsules

I've reached the final boss. It's actually been somewhat easy so far, although Glutton (real kill, not using the machinery) + mad rush took me a couple of tries; but I'm suffering against the final boss. I usually use one Ringer Solution against giant baby fuckface, and I haven't even thought about Eve yet.

My tactic is to save M249 and most of the Magnum for Eve; so I'm fighting the baby using M950 at the start of the fight, for when he's still fast; and shotgun for late fight when he's slower. Dying in a couple of hits is not fun; and since I'm going for 100%, I have to kill every part of its body... Maybe I shouldn't waste my MP using Energy Shot so much at the start of the fight, but I'm afraid I'd never have enough ammo otherwise. this is actually pretty tricky

>>5889943
Not SOME of the monsters used to be human, almost ALL of them with the exception of the obvious mutated bats, rats etc. Every enemy has human features. That's the basis for the whole story.

>>5920551
>>5889943

PE2 should have been its own thing. It has little to do with Mitocondria, but more like trans humanism horror. they sell it as the next step in human evolution, but then you're turned into some kangaroo thing, or some blob creature that powers the place.

>>5920573
exploding baby masterace

>>5920573
who cares, the pe1 mitochondria subplot was retarded anyways

>>5920606
>>5920604

Whole game's plot seems to be someone shitting on transhumanism and in a round-about way furries.

>You think we're gonna alter our bodies to become gods? Fuck you, you're becoming weird little monsters in some park.

>>5920278
Wouldn't you want to use the P08 for that rather than the M950? The higher crit output would give you more damage, you're a little more mobile, and it would help save on ammo.

It's been a while but I feel like energy shot p08 can be pretty strong against eve as well, especially if you have the stronger 9mm ammo types.

>>5921309

> how they made aya look like a soccer mom instead
This is actually way better, she feels like an actual person this time around instead of some bad Anime inspired chinlet 3d model. The CG models highlight the improvement tenfold.

>>5921467
She IS a "bad anime" character though, drawn by a nigbaby that's known for drawing some of the gayest looking anime characters on the planet

>>5921476
The "bad" there is an adjective for "3d model", anon. AKA a bad chinlet 3d model inspired by anime.
Agreed on the nigbaby though

>>5921467
I wasn't talking about the fmv's

>>5921467
I wasn't talking about the fmv's, though. In-game, they made her too thick (not "thicc"); she's got mom hips, small boobs, and a bad outfit. In 1, she's skinny (admittedly too skinny from the waist down) and has that almost anime look, with a much cooler outfit.

>>5921541
I suppose that's a matter of taste but my point still stands for the in-game models.
I like MILF Aya.

>>5921597
yeah, naw
gimme left one any day

>>5921597
Her Akropolis outfit was miles better than her Dryfield outfit which you wore for 80% of the game.

That's not a bad idea. That didn't hit me because despite using P08 a lot, I never use it anymore once I reach the shelter. Too bad I only have 100 Spartan shots left.

Last thing I did was loading my earlier save, 1 hour earlier, so I can make sure to have Inferno lvl3 for the boss this time around. It does seem worth it to start the fight with a couple of that despite losing 60mp.

is there ANY WAY not to get hit by this motherfucker at the start of the fight until you've killed at least one part of him?

>stay up front
>kill the arm
>you're sure to get hit by either the head laser beam or the arm gas

>going in the back until at least one part is down is not a good idea either, you're stuck between the arm fart and the tentacles sperm

>can't stay in between in either until the arm fats are done with

>use inferno lvl3 a couple times and it's still the same situation as above, nothing is dead
>can't use it more than twice without healing

I swear, start of the fight, my best tactic is "tank until one arm fart is crippled"; with luck I "only" get hit twice, but twice is a fucking lot in Nightmare with no items

>>5922079
and btw this is using small guns, I do have a good running and turning speed

>>5922079
iirc there's a way to juggle his aggro between different parts as long as you reduce his turnrate first thing.
You might also want to go for pyrokinesis x10 spread in the fight (Although I'd just save it for the back tentacles because I always go for every single part) over Inferno x2 at the start.

Honestly though for that precise playthrough I'd save all the Rslug in the whole game just for this fight, because fuck that fight with just Buckshot / 9mm / M249,
Eve you can really deal with just the magnum and bullets you get with it and a few PE as long as you only go for shots / PE when she drops her antibody (for the screen warping attack just wait for 20mp refilled and lifesteal that interupts and refill your MP a bit without being too risky), so don't feel too bad for using the M249 vs the bigboi

and it is done. I still don't know how you're supposed to avoid getting hit by the boss until at least one arm (gas form) is taken care of; but that's all that hit me through the fight so it ended up well.

P08 + a couple of Inferno lvl3 is indeed the way to go. P08 is the most underrated weapon in the game, I already knew that, it just confirms it more.

After that, I don't know if I rocked, got lucky, or both; but Eve was a piece of cake. Maeda SP Magnum rounds + less a couple hundreds M249 shots did the trick.

tl;dr
>Nightmare difficulty
>100% kills including bosses full kills, got (almost) all items
>no shop used, no consumable item used

Only thing I used was the Snail magazine for the P08 because afaik using it doesn't impact BP score and the goal was see how much BP I can get here

Things I missed:
>only got 300 bp at the shooting range; vs the maximum possible of 1500 + reward items which are worth 5380
On Nightmare I genuinely believe the shooting range is the hardest part for a 100% playthrough.

I did discard a couple of items in Akropolis, which I could have kept if I didn't use the SWAT Gear. I still feel a little bad about that.
However I only had 2-3 inventory slots left in the end so in the case of a perfect playthrough that would include shooting range rewards, one would need to discard 2-3 items anyway.

So, if my math is correct, the maximum BP one can get in a single playthrough is 414647; to which you add a 0 for Nightmare bonus; but that's without killing a single Eve ghost; under these conditions one could probably kill 2-3 ghosts; although I don't remember if they do give extra BP or just EXP

Now the only challenge I have left would be getting an L rank in a Normal play which might prove easier than what I just did
