Seashell Salesman posted:So the OST apparently costs about the same as the game itself, I guess it does contain 49 tracks but kind of hard to justify buying it given that all the tracks are in the game files. If you own the special edition, the OST is already in the game's files as MP3s and FLACs. No one knows why though. That's the reason behind the 2.9 gigs game.

CALLED IT. To unlock the Void... In Jakes last mission, complete floor 3 without dying. This unlocks an alternate end cutscene where the blonde Duke Nukem gy takes you back to his office. When he leaves quickly click on the floppy disk on the table. Then when you're the reporter examining jakes clothes pick up the floppy drive.

It's really obnoxious how the pickup priority is "empty weapon, melee weapon, loaded weapon" by the way.

Played until the first Hawaii-level where the aiming bugged or something and I couldn't hit a thing because my character refused to stop pointing at a spot in the upper right corner so I'm gonna save some game for later. Overall, very good, I'd say. I ran into the getting shot from offscreen problem on the pig butcher level but so far melee has trivialized everything just as hard as in the first game and I'm actually making progress a lot quicker. Can't think of anything to complain about outside of bugs.

Meta-Mollusk posted:Just finished the game and Steam says it took me about 6-7 hours. While I'm not sure if it's better or worse than HL1, I really enjoyed it. There were some minor bugs, and some of the levels were tough nuts to crack, but it never took that long to figure out how to deal with them. The only part of the game where I got really frustrated was at the very end, but only because I had to walk and watch the intro again each time I died (kinda like with HL1's final boss). The reason everyone is so upset is that people who post in this forum are notoriously poo poo at video games. Any game that doesn't hold your hand like a little baby will have a massive contingent of people who get angry or upset at it. All the posts wailing about being killed by guys off screen pretty much signaled to me that the problem was with the players here, not the game.

I think the people having trouble with the Hawaii missions are probably using the wrong weapons. Take the shotgun for killing fatties and knife everyone else. Swap to Sniper when you get it otherwise continue as before. Weirdly you will want to use guns much less than you do in "normal" levels. The machine guns are bullshit.

I'm just surprised at how quickly the Games-cycle developed for this game. We have already had somebody calling the thread a hugbox the day after release

Oh I see how you take on giant hallway rooms now. You stay out of them no matter what. Unlike in HLM1, smacking a wall makes noise, so you smack the wall nearest the patrolling gunmen from the other side, hope it isn't a bugged wall and they can just shoot through it anyway, then wait. The one where you play as all the fans and have the zebra mask on is that way. It's three times what you can see and they can shoot from a third of it away, but if you fire into the wall behind them from the room behind them they'll charge in. e: I was wrong too the hedges don't do poo poo.

I'm on the second Hawaii level and yeah, the Shotgun is much better than the machine guns. It doesn't help much though, when I reach a floor with two fatties and only one bullet. Fun times. It's kinda funny how the character whose defining point is guns has such limitations with gun use. Even Ash picks up non-pistol guns, but no, an elite soldier in hostile territory won't pick up one of the dozens of AKs lying around.

It has a meth lab in the middle of the first floor though. It might be best to just play the level normally because it kinda subverts expectations anyway. There's a lot of awesome things in the game, it's just buried behind a painful shell.

It's no more difficult than HM1. Maybe you heard a couple of Perturbator songs and thought you were a bigger fan than you really were, but by and large the original was like this. Obviously these are new levels that will take some time to get used to.

Thanks, I'll go through regularly (like I'll not die first time anyway) then go back. Also it is amazing how lovely the collision detection is from 1. Every single death in this level has just been guys shooting through solid walls.quote:Ok dude settle down. It's no more difficult than HM1.

Being good at the game is the point of every game in existence. "Git gud" in HLM2 translates as: Try to rethink your attack plan. And it's not a bad advice !

Finished. Uh. That was an ending. I guess if you really want to signal to everyone that you're never going to make another Hotline Miami, that's the way to do it alright. Loved the last level though. They totally broke their promise of "no boss fights" but gently caress it if your boss fights are those things I'm totally down with it. Totally. Now to crack open the soundtrack and give it a whirl before stepping back into hard mode. On the whole it's very much a Dark Souls -> Dark Souls 2 sort of sequel. The core bits that you like are all there but it's a bit longer, less focused experience. If HM is a 9/10 this is about a 7.5 or 8.

I've been enjoying the game so far despite a lot of small bugs. But now this happened I don't have any idea how but during play the developers console activated, unlocked all achievements, weapons and levels at the same time (which are things i really wanted to discover on my own). And that console (top middle of screen) keeps popping on and off at random moments. Anyone had an issue like this ? (running on mac os x).
