Songbearer posted:Whoever said that this is the Doom 2 to Doom 1 is completely and utterly right. Those games were largely the same, but Doom 2's level design was nowhere near as clean and simple as Doom 1's, which wound up working against it. In Doom 2 there were still a bunch of fun and memorable missions, but the run n' gun gameplay of the original was severely hampered by levels which punished you for rushing through them until you got very, very good, enemies who were a lot more annoying than they should be and mechanics that needed to be exploited rather than mastered. There were a lot of people who liked Doom 2, but it felt like a departure from the simplicity of the first. Nail -> Head Still enjoying it, but this is definitely the Doom2 to HLM's Doom1.

What does an ammo box look like in the soldier levels? I'm up to the Power Plant and haven't seen a single one so far (unless they only appear latter  ).

memy posted:I thought this at least was pretty obvious given that he looks more than a little like Brando as Kurtz. Although the mask's name may be a coincidence Oh yeah, I mean it's obvious he looks like Brando and stuff, I meant more the mask, since I forgot it was called that. The wiki says it was named after someone else, but I guess it was simple enough to work in another reference through it.

Things this game kinda needs a few minor enhancements. Ability to drop guns without flinging them across the room, possibly behind things you can't get to to pick them back up. Ability to select between things on the ground to pick up without just picking them up and dropping them over and over to cycle. Way to melee kill people who are crawling on the ground if you don't feel like going through the whole execution animation that can get you killed. I remember a few other things I wanted while playing but I can't remember right now. HM1 had more of a focus on melee, guns were pretty disposable, and the whole game was faster, so these things didn't matter as much. Also for the longest time you were invincible during executions; not crazy about that change. HM2 though I feel forced to try to exploit the enemy more often, pull them to doorways, etc. So it needs to give more refined controls. There's been a few levels where I ran through punching everybody as Tony and it worked great, but on others... Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Mar 12, 2015 |

Hitlers Gay Secret posted:Does he also do this for Call of Duty? He's trying to push a white male protagonist "bingo card" at the moment (troubled past, killing sprees, etc) which has backfired spectacularly (a significant chunk of standard protagonists don't come anywhere near filling a line on the drat thing whereas a lot of "unusual" ones do...) so he's currently taking pot shots at anything else he can find right now. It's kind of Mcintosh's thing, but no less funny for it.

Floor 3 of level 12 is extremely Zen, which is weird, considering it starts with you punching ten people to death and ends with you punching another ten people to death. Replaying HM1 before starting this one was the right move, haven't actually gotten frustrated at it once, even though I started channelling DarkSidePhyl with Hot & Heavy and the police station when I originally played the first game. If you somehow end up with a pro-violence message from this game, you were probably destined to be a career tweeter for life.

Just completed it. That owned. I think the game lulls a lot in the middle when the levels becoming increasingly frustrating, but I think the final quarter is incredible (with the exception of the lighting in the nightclub level) and the finale is amazing. I was really not looking forward to the idea of the game making such a huge deal out of its plot this time around, but its so loving insane that it fits in completely.

I think my only issue with the plot is how there's no "get rid of info dumps on second playthrough" option. I loved HM1 (after I figured out how to play it  ) but sitting through the mid-mission dialogue got kind of irritating.

Ending spoilers: Is it actually supposed to be a nuke going off? The entire game is framed as a VHS tape and one of the characteristics of VHS tapes was the 'white screen of death' at the end. All the references Richard makes to everything being futile and how it's going to end could just be some sort of meta-commentary

Has anyone gotten in touch with the dev and asked if level tweaks might be on the card? RE 1985: At first I thought that the ammo boxes resupplying only a small amount was a warning for you to not burn through ammo, but considering you can rearm at them infinitely... honestly, I think they should just give you a full magazine.

You walk in on a meeting of what appears to be every dead actual character from both games wearing masks and being spooky, then fight your way out through a bunch of thugs. I thought it was a pretty good level personally.

Where is the album for the digital version located? I found a Remix EP folder in the Hotline Miami 2 game folder but it only has 6 tracks. edit: I just saw that the digital special edition does NOT come with the full soundtrack. That sucks.

It's probably equally safe to say that McIntosh doesn't really play much of anything or enjoy much of anything. Pop culture to McIntosh is just another source of constant outrage.

The game's a jumble of mixed metaphors when it comes to the movie crew stuff- in particular the detective and actor parts are really unclear. It's like they cut several additional missions from each of them.

In the second part of Subway on hard mode, how the hell are you supposed to deal with the guy with the chainsaw? I tried hitting him with melee swings, nothing - I tried hulking out and shooting him, he just ducks it. I tried throwing weapons at him, same thing as if you shoot him. The level won't let me leave while he's still up but I can't figure out how I'm supposed to knock him out.
