HOW do you keep the teammates alive? How??!

[KillerKrieg]

I have beaten several games now, and I am trying to, as an experiment if you will - try to get at least ONE teammate alive to the end.

I can.

Not.

DO IT.

90% of them die at the swampy marshes, usually self-inflicted by going at the tentacles like they are magnets and they have a steel plate in their♥♥♥♥♥or something. Sometimes they willfully just stand still and drown, or the one time things are going good, a pteradactyl will come out of nowhere and just rob them from you. It seems the game has a rule about *at least* 50% of them dying there, but even if I get them past it's no use. Whenever a monster comes, they stand still and shoot in whatever direction they saw it in without trying to hit it. Near as I can tell, fighting monsters is pretty useless, you just have to juke them. So, even if I try to save them, it never works because I can never pump enough bullets in it to save them unless said monster glitches. Even trying to bullfight the monster is almost impossible, with me barely getting a shot in at it before I have to move, and again they never shoot in the right direction.

So when we encounter monsters, one of two things happens. They stand still and shoot and no matter what maneuver I enact to save them - they get taken by the monster and die. Or, the monster chases me and I manage to juke it, BUT they get lost and become unfindable.(Once I went directly to where Dirk goes after you lose him after getting past the hand, he was not there. Jarret later died and I switched to Dirk as he was the only available option and he was RIGHT THERE WHERE I CHECKED.)

Even if by some miracle I get them past all of this, I take the more effective route where after the hand I hug the left-ish area of the screen, near the swamp, instead of taking my chances with the undefeatable Armadillos in their forest on the right side of the screen, so what happens is, you get to the second(hostile) pygmy village - and they are willing to actually aim at them - BUT they try to fight the infinitely respawning pygmies until the end of time.

So if they don't die, they get lost. There is literally. No. Way. To Save Them. Not in this version.
