plape tickler posted:Nice. What are you using kb/m or controller? Also are you using default sensitivity? My aim is never that steady. With a controller I feel like I need to keep pressing the aim stick upward constantly. Your reticle moves way less than mine. I'm playing on PS4 so I'm just using a dualshock 4, I dunno if the console version even lets you change sensitivity or anything to be honest.

Scrub-Niggurath posted:How does his ending change based on what you do? (More end game spoilers) Near the end of his story, you get a note on his table from his wife, telling him to call her if he thinks they can still work this out. If you then use his phone instead of his typewriter, during the ending sequence he's dining with his family at the table. At least I assume, I've only seen the dining with his family version.

Overall I feel this game had too much getting killed by enemies you couldn't see, sometimes through windows. My strategy in a lot of the levels was get as close to unseen open areas as I could, fire a gun, and see what comes out, because if I didn't I'd get shot by something outside my view. I can't remember the first one doing it this much, and therefore it was better in that one aspect.

Jehde posted:You're the one doing it. Not the game. The level before this with Richter every enemy surrounding the stairs had a gun, with two or three more guys behind a window also looking right at the stairs. Move forward and die, probably. So instead I just guessed and sprayed the assault rifle down the corridor and waited to see what happened. I apparently killed a fat guy, a dog, four gunners, and some melee dudes. I never figured out what the enemy placement was. e: I sure do get shot through solid walls a lot in HLM2. RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Mar 14, 2015 |

I know Alex and Ash get all the love but god drat Tony is loving fun. Not being able to pick up weapons really alters your approach. I guess it's kind of sucky how The Son only gets gimmicks that are identical to the Fans, but I guess his dad and his cronies did them all first so I guess the Fans are ripping him off.

TopHatGenius posted:Regarding the ending I suppose it provides closure but I feel like it's a hamfisted way of doing so. In the name of ART. It would have been at least neat to play the coup d'état instead of SUDDENLY NUKES. I get the whole reasoning behind it but it still rubs me the wrong way. Also who's the guy in the desert that Biker is soo afraid of?! It would be pretty poo poo for the devs to leave something like that hanging and never resolve it. Biker was probably scared of Richard. Honestly the way I would have liked it to end would have been saying there was a coup and war was imminent and then cutting it off. Really, I'd have liked it if none of the protagonists were shown on screen as dying, letting you wonder about it a little. Like end Withdrawal with Jake being dragged away, Deathwish with Alex and Ash wondering where their friends were, Apocalypse with the Son walking towards the edge of the screen, etc. Nukes weren't sudden though.

Erata posted:Even though the Special Digital Edition said that it didn't include the full soundtrack, it appears to contain every single track listed on the store page's DLC Soundtrack in the game folder. Eh, the director one is kinda hard because it's counter to most people's natures to throw a hammer to knock a guy down, wait for him to get back up then melee him to death. RBA Starblade posted:HLM1's point is you shouldn't feel bad about whatever's happening because it's not real. It's basically a companion to Spec Ops with its "Have you killed any Americans today?" and "You are still a good person" loading screens. You (probably) don't like hurting people and you (probably) had fun. It's being completely earnest when it asks those questions. Eh, I think of it more as criticizing the need to excuse such things. It's a game, yeah, but saying "it's okay because they're robot alien zombie clones" to make it morally ok is silly. Cuntellectual fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Mar 14, 2015 |

Broken Cog posted:Evan got one more level. In "Withdrawal", clear out the third floor without being killed, and you will get a special cutscene. During the cutscene interact with the desk you're sitting at, and in the intro to the next level interact with the corpse on the table. This will unlock a hidden level on the level select screen. You need to hit A, not interact, for some reason.

I've managed to do it almost as well (I broke the chain in area 2) but it took several attempts to get instantly shot.

With the happy ending they're watching the interview with the pig butcher, with the book one they're watching an interview with Evan about the book. Studio posted:
You bumped me down to 6th. Alex and Ash don't really need much luck other then hoping Ash's AI cooperates but killing the two fat guys is really hard. I just got that one for a lark. I had a top 10 time for Into the Pit and Deathwish yesterday but apparently the HLM community is very serious about their speedruns.

Last dude didn't aggro which cost me about 2 seconds. That said, hardmode speedrunning seems like a random nightmare and stupid. I'll take my 13 on normal level 1.

Ignore the right image but the left one was never used ingame. Interesting. http://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/EXx0n6ovOarONrkV8NDVjU8515NTPJ6DSJGheeFog2Y.jpg My guess is it's an old version of The Abyss' art. More ending words: I feel like it sort of contradicts it's own point. "Enjoy the good times while they last, and when the end comes, accept it without regret." But by ending everything on screen with such finality it's more like "Here's the end. You don't like it. You'll eventually accept it." I mean maybe that's the point but I feel it weakens it and the game isn't so great it can afford to weaken itself further.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdDL5D1hi9o I like how that one guy never budges at all despite all his friends being horribly blown away. Also thought I was done for when the second to last guy's bullet clipped me. Bummed shadowplay didn't save the first floor Also god drat the weapon pickup poo poo is annoying as gently caress. I can't count the amount of times I've died because I attempted some John Woo poo poo and in the split second when I need to pick up a gun to shoot the guy coming at me it picks up a bat or an empty one and I get hammered.

Ddraig posted:Trying to get an S rank on Take Down That's pretty much exactly the same way I got my first 20x combo, although I chickened out on going for a full combo and banked it instead (didn't know you still got the achievement if you died). You can speed it up a bit though if you rush and punch the dog at 0:04/0:34. I'm not sure whether it's due to the dog being in a turning animation, the angle of attack next to a wall or what, but 90% of the time it let me skip the slam animation for an instant melee kill, making it a lot quicker and less risky to take down.

I haven't played this yet but all these negative reviews and comments in this thread are disheartening. I was so stoked for this. I hope the level editor alleviates the criticism this is getting since the main complaint is level design.

So I was a pussy and looked up the ending. In the first mission of act 5, After beard gets nuked, when you control Richter, go upstairs before answering the phone. Talk to his mom laying in bed. She says she was dreaming of Richter, sitting with his father, staring out to sea, but felt like something bad was about to happen.

I'm at what I'm guessing is the end of the game, the double-swan. How do I win? I figured out to stay far back so the one head doesn't bullet hell me to death and to whack the chainsaw head when it comes in, but there's no feedback for anything. Am I actually hurting it? Four swings didn't do anything. e: Never mind, like everything else it's buggy as gently caress. I got something to happen after typing this.
