Why is the sun always bullying me?

I asked this last page in an edit, but is there a way to import someone's save game? The start of stage 14 is bugged for me and I can't progress. I found info on messing around with saves for the 1st hotline game, but nothing for this one.

Totally surviving on my own. On LAND!
Just beat the game; I definitely enjoyed it, I didn't think any levels were that much more frustrating then HLM1. The map design does limit the routes you can take but I didn't run into too many offscreen gun deaths.

Now to try and find out all the stuff I missed when replaying the game on hard. :v:

Edit: And go back and read all the spoilers too.

Is there any word on functionality? Can you pick what characters you start, any surprises or anything?

In his dreams he admits he wants to hurt people, like how in Pardo's dream he realizes he's the murderer he's chasing for the desire he craves, and how the Son faces up to the fact that he's going down his father's path not knowing what he wants for himself. Mark realizes how it's going to end. Evan realizes he can either go all in on his book or reconnect with his family. Richter realizes his regret. Jake never sees him iirc, and when Evan does it's just a mask. Richard says Beard does but I don't really know what he means by that.

With Beard, I assume he's meaning the time where the Commander got basically possessed

Richard is an apocalyptic figure, in the varied meanings of the word. He represents the literal ends (death, nuclear apocalypse), the metaphorical ends, and the various revelations that a character should be having. He's a Greek chorus, making clear various elements of the plot while being a bystander. But [s]Discendo Vox[/b] is right - Richard is more than a hallucination or subconscious because he demonstrates exacting knowledge of the future (eg, the lines from the fans when they put on the masks).

He's just a surreal thing but he's more than a subconscious element.

I've been replaying the game, got a S on Dead Ahead (which is now a decent level imo), but now that I'm on Death Wish, I can't get past Corey's section. No, I don't want to bait these guys, I want to roll through all these shots, but there's a loving dog killing me everytime !

Someone on 4chan figured out that the recent patch added more god drat windows and fat guys to the Pigman's levels (left is from today, right is from a stream from a few days ago). Might just be relevant to hard mode? I don't know which difficulty these shots are from.

I actually played that level on hard like 2 hours ago and it personally felt easier than the normal mode version I'm pretty sure. No windows on any of the rooms. No fat detectives on that floor either, just the regular baton dudes plus pistol dudes chasing them.

Also the screen flip feels way more disorienting than it probably should for some reason. Maybe it's because the cutscenes are all flipped as well as the levels, I dunno.

I just assumed Richard in this game was some kind of surreal, supernatural David Lynch-esque thing? He's a creepy and inexplicable figure and also a warning of terrible things to come.

I'm always confused when people argue over the nature of surreal elements of stories. Trying to explain him as a ghost, a magical shared hallucination, or some sort of demon dad doesn't really add anything. None of those things are real and there is no real world logic associated with them. He's a talking Rooster head that does impossible things.

I guess it's worth noting that this is different from my impression of him in the first game - I figured that Richard, Don Juan, and Rasmus were just ego, super ego, and id type elements of Jacket's mind.

This is a video game glitch. It loaded the normal version of the level first even though it was flipped. The same thing happened to me. It hasn't happened in other levels (yet).

Dallas went to remove his mask.
"No," Whispered Jake. "Keep it on. I like it with the mask on."
It had been two weeks since the clown had been assigned the task of stealing an amassed collection of firearms collected by the 50 Blessings group. That was where he met Jake. When he saw the Snake-Headed man destroying a horde of Russian mobsters using his sweet Nunchuck skills Dallas felt something he hadn't felt in many years. Love.
"Let me see your other snake." Dallas said, flirtatiously.
Jake unzipped his jorts when the phone rang, the answer machine picked it up after the 3rd beep.
"Guys!" The voice was familiar, it was Bain. Dallas' handler, "The astro-glide! Go get it!"

I cannot wait to see what everyone's interpretation to what Hotline Miami 2 "should" be. It's going to be great.

Speaking of the level editor, even if we don't get the story tools in it, considering how easy it's been to get into the level editor already, I wonder if we'll be able to hack in new sprites/enemies/story elements and so on? Maybe some workshop support to make that official? I just want to make Hotline Miami 1.5: Biker fucks up poo poo in Las Vegas.

I noticed that some of the VHS tapes on the level select menu have this symbol on the cover. Most of them don't, and they don't seem to be tied to any of the characters specifically. I wonder if it means anything.

Got around to finishing this last night and the Apocalypse level was pretty god drat hilarious.

Since 40 pages have gone by since I've last looked at this thread is there a list of which songs go with which stages? I know you can see them from the stage select but I'm at work right now so I can't view them.

Maybe like an artist signature or something? I saw in the credits that a lot of different people did the VHS covers.

The sound track of this game took a few listens for me to really appreciate some of the songs.

Top 5 for me:

1) Carpenter Brut - Roller Mobster

2) Magic Sword - In The Face of Evil

3) Mega Drive - Acid Spit

4) Magna - Divide

5) The Green Kingdom - untitled (Main Screen)

Main screen theme encapsulates the ending vibe of the game so well.

Fake Edit: Carpenter Brut makes some kick rear end music.

I know a selection offa the top of my head. also in work, so can't confirm.

The bank level is Megadrive - Acid Spit
The last soldier level is Magic Sword - The Way Home
First Jake level is Magna - Divide
The Fans last level is Carpenter Brut - Roller Mobster
First Richter level is Mega Drive - Slum Lord

Which levels were you thinking of specifically? Because I've got the soundtrack on me phone but I don't really know the level names and all that.

It's worth noting that the Remix album is loving incredible, with MOON and Carpenter Brut and Scattle mixing each other's tracks and making the murder music more murderous. Hoping more people do remixes of these tracks because they are great.
