Amorphous Blob posted:By far the hardest part of the first game's final boss is avoiding the suicide shot. In the Fans level, when you "Rescue" the sister and she responds by threatening you with a pistol, she'll unceremoniously carry out her threat if you approach her. Guess what I did on my first succesful attempt at the level which took the better part of an hour

That is correct. Tony's fist will either pass through them or crash the game. This is probably one of the things they are "fixing" with these patches as they work toward a functional level editor.

LORD OF BUTT posted:The swans are a really fun concept, but they're really really hard to actually use. I feel like it would work a lot better if you only controlled Alex, and Ash was just 100% AI-controlled. If I remember correctly, I managed to chainsaw a patrolling fat man through a wall, and emerge on the other side after. Seemed gimmicky, but I then had to go back and "escort" Ash around difficult obstacles, like "walls" and "a door". Tough to use, but the desync between the two characters is definitely exploitable over other characters.

Same here, then I died the same way a second time because i thought you HAD to kill her because of Tony's 'not my fault if something happens' comment and the fact I was playing hotline miami. Felt preeeetty stupid when i realized you just had to walk away.

bewilderment posted:The Biker bit in the first game where it first rewinds to play as him was just an amazingly perfect way to introduce his character. The whole game you're used to Jacket's lovely apartment where he has barely anything besides the essentials, it's a wonder that he has a spare bed. The game is really good about this. In Richter's house, in the bathroom you can clearly see all the stuff that's been put in to help his disabled mother. I figure most other games would have just said gently caress it but they went that extra mile.

My favorite was Evans' son having Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures scattered around the room  edit: Needs a picture to show off the spritework  Also wow, I never noticed until looking at that screenshot, but they even added subtle characterization to Evan and his wife by having their bed be two separate beds pressed together. They sleep together but they don't sleep "together". King Vidiot fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Mar 23, 2015 |

Wait, so how is Biker alive? I thought the whole "rewind and play as him" in HM1 was a bonus "alternate timeline" sort of thing. And speaking of alternate timelines: Any feelings on the whole "alternate history" thing? I don't recall any implications of that in HM1. Russians in Hawaii made me think there's some war I didn't know about, and it took me awhile to realize the nuke Beard died to wasn't the same as the others (missed the date), and there's a newspaper that directly mentions that San Fransisco got nuked by Russia. I just had initally assumed it was some deception or something else. I kinda liked the feeling of a more normal world in the first game. I like the idea of 50 Blessings more in a world where Russia hasn't actually being in direct conflict with the US. Oxyclean fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Mar 23, 2015 |

He imagined that he killed Biker while on his hospital bed. The game spells out the fact that every chapter leading up to Trauma did not happen the way it appears to.

I think Roller Mobster and Magic Sword stand out as tracks. Everyone would agree Roller Mobster is loving awesome, but Magic Sword has been creeping into my top 5 songs a little more every time I hear it. E: Whoops, I meant "The Way Home". Magic Sword is the artist. E2: Just listened to it again. Still owns. 1.) Roller Mobster 2.) The Way Home 3.) Blizzard 4.) Divide 5.)

Roller Mobster, The Way Home, Divide and Remorse are all just incredible songs and the perfect choices for their respective levels. The one that really, really got me was Run (Subway level). When you start that level the song sounds like the worst kind of horrible tuneless ear-rape and is a real  moment, but then the tune fully kicks in and it's just, like, holy poo poo. It's a super chill song which reflects the (relatively) mundane yet hosed up situation poor Evan's found himself in, but meshes with the crazy writer-fu he winds up pulling off in the process. Roller Mobster hits hard with its action movie bombast, but Run sets the scene for an amazingly off-kilter bit of action.

Technoir is really good, too. This is just my Top 5, but there's only like one or two songs that I don't like on the whole thing. The worst I think is the one where they sampled Riff Raff saying "ballin' like the pac 10" or whatever. I actually kind of like Riff Raff (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnmHkhStqhM please watch this), but knowing it's him kind of takes me out of it. E: Run and Remorse also are really good.

Also I don't know if Remorse is underrated, but I don't see it mentioned that much in favourite tracks and it's easily in my top 3. Jehde fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Mar 23, 2015 |

Roller Mobster is a given, but Divide, The Way Home and Run are also really great songs that I listen to a lot. I've also been sitting through Escape From Midwitch Valley more and more. Seven minute songs are generally "eh" for me, but this one keeps my interest pretty well. Does that play anywhere in the game or is it just there from when it was used in that sick rear end trailer.

Don't know how I missed this the first time but I've realized Biker wants to stop doing the phonecall hits because he's bored, not angry or scared. The gently caress kind of lunatic poo poo keeps him interested?
