I got 19 on my first playthrough and the last 11 by the 2nd decompression window on my 2nd play, there's that obvious good one right near the beginning then there's one after you pull an electric thing out and fix that door that keeps shutting and u have to stasis it and all the guys jump out, that's where I got my last couple and popped the achieve. I seriously only remember there being like 4 windows in the whole game so if you don't get everyone in the room with one reload your save and get all the enemies before moving on. I also missed the nanny achieve by one frickin baby on my first playthrough, bastards...
Same here, I missed the nanny by 1. Gotta get to the nursery again... Also, you really got 19 on your first playthrough or did you mean 9? I think I only saw 3-4 windows the whole game too and one of the last ones only has like 2-3 guys by it.. It'd be much nicer if you could reload checkpoints for kill related achievements.

You needed 30 for the achieve right? If so then yea I somehow had 19 on my first playthrough, but don't ask me how cause I definately don't remember 19 people flying out of windows by my hand...lol

You need 20 total for the window achievement, 30 for The Nanny. I still need like 700-800 severed limbs for that damn achievement AND I farmed the final boss' little ones for like 20 minutes. I made it a point to stomp every body a couple times too on my first playthrough..

Ok well then I had 9 first play and final 11 with the first 2 windows on casual somehow. Yea I curb stomped the shit out of everybody, but there are way more enemies on normal it seemed so I destroyed that achieve, had 2100 on my first play and got the rest by like chapter 4 on casual, the detonator is the shit for that as well as the line gun and the rifles alt fire.

Yea I still need 19 for the Detonator's achieve, lol. I'll have to definitely keep an eye out for the windows and try to rack up as many kills with each one as I can. The achieves I want are the 2,500 limbs, 20 detonator kills (which would probably be easiest with those little creepy kid baddies), the achieve for going up the elevator in chapter 7 and doing something special (hopefully that's where I can stop playing my second playthrough), the nanny and the window achievement. Then I'd have 900. Definitely not worried about Zealot and Hardcore.

Yea the Detonator was my favorite gun to use dude, I raped the fuckin stalkers with it, they'd come running out to charge me and run into my mines and blow into 20 pieces, I had that achieve within like 30 minutes of getting the gun and tryin it out. When you get to the elevator part, save right before it then respec a weapon and use all the nodes on the FORCE gun and grab some ammo for it, I got it on my first try, force gun knocks all the bastards off the side in one shot and it holds 20 bullets, I think I reloaded one time and that was it. The first time you see the babies in the nursery with the lady through the window made me laugh so hard 
and F hardcore!

Dude, that shit was so funny that lady picked up that crawler. I almost shit my pants laughing! I reloaded the checkpoint a couple times so I could show some friends on their way over. Also, if I didn't have the detonator equipped in my other game will I be able to purchase it right off the bat in the new game +? I sure hope so, otherwise I'm not doing that achievement.

Yea everything carries over into your safe at the store, schematics and logs will still show up in your 2nd game, but you don't need to pick em up if you already had em in the first play.

Phew, I never put anything in the safe, just sold it back and re-purchased whatever I wanted again. So I'll get rid of the shitty javelin after I respec it. I have about 200,000 credits and 100 nodes left over so I don't think I'll need any money, haha. Should be able to get everything done tomorrow after court (stupid ass juvenile probation department still calling me in to do their court dates, I regret that internship).

So wait you sold everything? Not sure if it'll carry over then or not, I had every gun in the safe even if I didn't use it or want it, I never sold any of my guns so I'm not sure if they'll be in your safe or not if you sold em all. I would rebuy em and put em in the safe just in case.

Once you get the upgraded guns achievement it's actually better to get rid of all the guns (selling them, not storage them in the inventory) and keep just the one or two you like the most.
The reason for this is that necromorphs drop ammo for the weapons you own. So if you keep for example the Plasma Cutter and the Force gun, you will always find ammo for these two only (from necromorphs bodies).
On Zealot and Hardcore is a waste of space to have many guns, since ammo is scarce and you want to make sure you get only what you need.

Overall this game seems a lot less tense and scary than the last one. This one is more about the big explosions and stuff. Very fun though, and very satisfying. The visuals are stellar and the weapon selection is absurd and fun.
What I always do for first playthrough is keep the Line Gun and/or Contact Beam in inventory but don't really use it unless it is for a boss-type necromorph; instead, I just pick up their ammo drops that are worth tons of money and sell them. My main weapons of choice are the Ripper for groups of regular/weaker enemies and the Plasma Cutter (fully upgraded!) for everything else.
The multiplayer is surprisingly fun as well, but I haven't played it much yet.

Yea the multiplayer is pretty fun, but you get torn up when playing with higher level people, it definately doesn't feel balanced AT ALL online. Any time you play someone over like a level 20 they just destroy you since it seems like they have every perk ever and you have like none when under level 10, takes away a lot of enjoyment and adds a TON of frustration.

Never played the MP once, right when I popped the last achievement for the 900 gamerscore I took it out of my xbox.
