TheJoker138 posted:Like everything else, the depiction of sexual violence being offensive or not comes down to context. The stupid getting felt up QTE in Tomb Raider was terrible because it was lazy, pointless, shock value bullshit. Just like most of the non-sexual ultraviolence in that game. The scene in question in Hotline Miami 2 is actually saying something, and isn't just there for it's own sake. Them putting in the option is a good thing, because it will let people who do have PTSD issues from that kind of thing play the game, but it's not something that should be wiped from all media. All that's going to do is make it some unspoken of taboo without showing any of the actual consequences of it. Another thing about putting that scene behind a prompt is that it makes you actively want to watch that. It makes you complicit in watching a rape scene in a video game. I think it actually makes more of a statement that way and relates pretty strongly to the theme of the first game.

That fits shockingly well, actually. I'm pretty excited for this game, you guys.

Relevant: http://blog.thephoenix.com/blogs/laserorgy/archive/2012/12/17/hotline-miami-and-america-s-narrative-of-masculinity-and-violence.aspx I don't necessarily argue with the main points being made here, but I do think there's a lot to chew on. The thing I've always most admired about Hotline Miami is the way it puts you into a trance, one of the few games where absolutely every element sings in concert towards a single goal

So, uh, do you guys have any advice for "getting" the first game? I'm trying to play through it again but I'm getting so frustrated at my character's fragile nature - it's annoying me that I keep getting killed by off-screen gunfire and the like. I know it's kinda the point (the first time I aced a level with the music blaring and then found myself silently passing by all the maimed corpses on the way out, eesh...) but I'm finding it really difficult to separate "this is it's meant to be played, dufus" and "argh so much failure".

Don't plan, don't think. Move fast and be as violent as possible. You'll die a lot but the game expects that (and, really, is part of the story from the telecom place). I aced the game about a year ago and came back to it recently and I was dying over and over again. Eventually, though, it'll all just click. edit: I use Tony if I really want to smash a level.

Its been a while so I forgot what button it was for sure, but you can look around the area so you have less chance of getting jumped. I think its Shift. The game rewards berserking it, like how the AI will miss more with guns if you're charging them. You can still take a stealthy guerrilla approach though, its what I always did.

The original buggy version of HLM1 was developed in-house by Dennaton on Game Maker, and the later more robust version was rebuilt by Abstraction Games on Sonys PhyreEngine. HLM2 is built on the later so it should be okay, maybe

I've had enemies pass through walls after getting up from being knocked down, and gone through a wall after doing an execution.

Skyscraper posted:Hobo with a Shotgun was amazing, but The Plague stole the movie for me. I can't think of a harder indication that they need their own video game than the fact that they have their own video game in that universe. A noose cannon would fit into the HLM universe perfectly.
