It might be either a sequel hook or a "spooky for the sake of spookiness" thing, since the souls of all the previous Mask killers - including that of Richard/Jacket, who's not even dead - chilling out in the back room of a nuke-proof warehouse is out there even by Hotline's standards. Oh, so it's not just me. I thought I missed some extra plot at the end or something.

I don't hate the game, I bothered beating it and preordering it and I'm still checking for the level editor. It just sucks, hard. It's a bad game that I don't hate, but I still think it sucks and is terrible.

It really can't be stressed enough how much this game sucks and how pathetic it is that people are analyzing the idiotic story like it's a piece of literature or something worthwhile.

Support your argument if you think that instead of just posting a one-sentence white noise response and maybe people would have a civilized discussion about it instead of flinging poo poo. edit: I don't mean to call out you specifically, it's just that there are only so many "Actually, it's good" or "Actually, it's not good" posts I can roll my eyes at before I get tired of it.

Did you look at the post directly above mine? I was mostly making fun of that. But if you actually want my reasons, I feel like this game just has way more meat that HLM1. The longer, larger, more complex levels allow for more interesting gameplay decisions, and make route optimization and creativity more rewarding. It also has characters with more interesting abilities than anything that was available from masks in HLM1; Corey's and the Son's rolling allow for very aggressive play, and nobody can shut up about how fun the swans are, for good reason. Ultimately, to me it almost feels like HLM1 was a tutorial for this game.

Full Battle Rattle posted:what the gently caress is the story significance of the abyss? I just killed a bunch of people and left. It's kind of a stretch but I saw it as set up for the eventual assassination of the presidents by 50 blessings. Jake gets the floppy from a 50 blessings higher-up; Evan takes it from Jake's possessions and finds it's a list of addresses. He goes to the address and finds a 50 blessing building, and at the end a bunch of masked vigilantes are there yelling at him to get out. They don't kill him, because they think he's with the 50 blessings people, and specifically say they agreed not to go out at night. Then at the end of the game right before the nukes go off there is the news broadcast about a bunch of masked vigilantes killing the Russian president. I assumed those vigilantes are the guys you met. As for why the place is abandoned when you go in and full of enemies when you go out I have no idea beyond Dennaton thinking "oh right have to put actual gameplay in this level"

I love putting on Dallas, taking a big wheezy Fatty Goon Goon breath as I take out my nunchaku, and then going on a loving tear through 9 or 10 guys in a row. And then at the end he does that pause where he stretches his nunchuks out in front of him. Absolutely priceless.

I figured some thugs knew about these guys who wear animal masks and decided to go check it out. Considering what the Fans did/have been doing, it wasn't that out there at first. The problem then becomes "how the hell did they know to check that building" but it's as close to making sense of it as I can.

Moltrey posted:Confession time, I have never used Jake's final mask and have no idea what it is despite everyone talking about it. I'm playing on the Vita and there's a pretty bad bug where sometimes weapons just...don't unlock. It happened with Jake's last mask, Solider's sniper rifle, (yet not the flamethrower) and all of the Son's weapons. I beat the level, get the unlock scene, but when I replay the level, they're blacked out. I was going to post the same thing, then I saw a few posts above that his final mask is nunchaku, the gooniest weapon for the gooniest character

He also gets the ability to knock down fatties, like tony. And punching people so hard they die is a blast. Tony was one of my favorite masks in HLM1, and I liked seeing it implemented with the new twist. The Journalists no-violence bullshit would be much more tolerable if the weapons pickup didn't seem to prioritize firearms over literally everything else.

The best part is that he does stupid little flourishes at the start and end, which leads to some amazing moments where he bursts through a door, slaps some people to death with his nunchucks, then flexes them in front of two shotgun barrels the moment before they reduce him to a stain.

Now that I think about it, the justification why the killing punch characters can't pick up weapons in the story is pretty silly. The Son makes the most sense, cause he has to use brass knuckles or something, Tony is just SUPER SWOLE and refuses to not show that off, and Jake with his last mask is too honurabru to pick up weapons while using his goon- tang fighting style.
