Yeah, the last batch is pretty brutal as well as they come one after another with no break. I passed it by the skin of my teeth. You'll get it, shoot as far as you can, you'll get it down.
I'm not looking forward to the Octaking, he was a pain in the neck on Come Get Some, mainly due to the other Octos.

This creates situations when you're trying to avoid gunfire, or you're backing away from an enemy, then suddenly you're not moving for some reason, and then you find yourself dead.

I'd rather have stopped playing altogether than live with the shame.

The Octaking fight seemed hopeless at first but the minion waves actually stopped sooner than I expected.
The Emperor fight was so long and repetitive that I'd have killed someone if I had died there. It was very close a couple of times but the fight is extremely simple, it just takes so long and the probability of making an error during such a monotonic performance is always there.
Took me 12 hours (as opposed to 8,5 hours on my first playthrough) thanks to the few parts that required constant repetition.
Edit: Btw, it's incredible how useless the Freezer is.

In Damn I'm Good the most difficult were the turret parts and the fucking explosive barrels going down the stairs in Blowin' The Dam. Otherwise it was a lot of fun.
I didn't have any trouble with the Queen Bitch or the Octopussy in Damn I'm Good : just throw tripmines onto Octobrains and they die in one hit in just a couple of seconds. Plus you have infinite explosive resources during both of those bossfights.
The most annoying achievement was the catfish one.
Now I'm just waiting for the DLC.

It actually helps if you let the water rise; slows down the barrels. But yeah, it was a bit annoying, took me about 4-5 tries.

Actually I'm stuck at the fucking octaking. The god damned octabrains need 2 pipebombs and then some ripper to get them out. Maybe we played a different game? Also bear in mind I'm trying to get Gunslinger achievement here, So I only have one weapon. I use the pistol occasionally for sniping.
I found the battlelord really easy, got him on second try. Just killing him from afar.
Now I have to spend most of my night trying to kill the octaking. To everyone that played it... should I use everything here? (I've got roids, beer and holoduke) or should I save it for the leech?

Just stay in cover and use your pistol/ripper (equally good actually) to keep the Octabrains at bay. Shoot only when they enter your line of fire, the line that allows them to shoot at you. Do note that you have to kill about two waves before you're able to get any hits on the King.

I said tripmines, not pipebombs.
Also I was also keeping the pistol on my play in Damn I'm Good.

I turned on Duke 3d freezer. It shoots as fast as you can click them mouse. Takes down an octobrain in seconds.

No... the weapon just acts differently.

The game already gives you the gunslinger achievement before fighting the cycloid, but I still kept the fucking gun because it doesn't feel right if you don't finish the game with it.

Yep, that's the one. I used steroids too at last part of the fight where you get around 3 raged pigcops at the same time.
This bit, the infamous Crash Course turret-bit and the Octaking are the hardest parts for me till now. I have yet to get to the last fight.

Overall I'd have to say I enjoyed the game a noticeably bit more on Damn, I'm Good than on Come Get Some.
I think I'm going to do a play through on 200% speed on Piece of Cake, just for the hell of it.

Playing Insane mode is even more difficult when playing it on a console rather than PC. I kinda wish I had forked in for a keyboard/mouse instead of the use of the controller. FPS games always seem a tad awkward to me when playing on a console, its as if my reaction time and movements are slower too.
