The review specifically points out large parts of the game where you can't pick up certain weapons. That's what I mean by freeform, the part of the game where you can approach a level in multiple ways and use every tool available.

I'll have to play it myself to find out for sure but do they mean in the case that they aren't there? Because not all enemy factions use the same weapons. (Like Police don't have lead pipes or Skorpions)

Or that you straight up can't use some weapons that drop?

That you're unable to pick up some weapons that drop, depending on the character you're currently playing. There are several such characters that you're forced to play as, each with different weapon restrictions. With any luck, the frequency and length of these sections won't be as bad as they sound.

That's with one specific character, and it sounds maybe optional? Not sure.

No, they mean you can't use them. Its a new mask effect, sorta. (Not actually a mask but a person; same thing)

Yeah I would expect to be able to play those levels as other characters.

Worst case you could remake them using the level editor :shrug:

You couldn't switch between biker/jacket in the original. Also I'm pretty sure you have to pick which character the level is for when using the level editor (the fans all count as one character). I know the game wasn't actually made using the level editor but the signs are kinda pointing to a "no" on this.

Surprise: It's the exact same game as the first one with a new story and soundtrack and a few very minute changes to the gameplay. You should know if that's a thing you want. The soundtrack is really great for the record.

Anyone else have a really slow mouse? It's making the game pretty drat hard and there's no sensitivity option. (Not in-game anyway, but I don't want to restart just yet.)

Also the game just made me wince. I'm a gore hound but the Special SWAT kill with the pig butcher was brutal!

Yep, someone screwed up when making the Steam package. Both the OST and the Remix EP are there in both MP3 and FLAC without buying the soundtrack separately.

Yeesh, I was worried about this after going back and playing HM1's updated version and comparing it to the original. For some reason, the default sensitivity in the updated engine is either slower or has some mouse acceleration goin' on, and googling it pulled up basically nothing beyond a couple other posts complaining about the same thing.

Unless they've added an option in the launcher or in a config file, I guess you could try adjusting your mouse's overall sensitivity OS-side?

This really sucks for the artists who made the soundtrack. I was actually more eager for this game cause of the great electro tracks than for the game itself and was fully prepared to pay extra for it since those guys deserve it.
