Midnight Raider posted:Is it the official(?) Jacket jacket that one nerd shirt company was doing? I was thinking about getting that one, but the end result really didn't seem to look right color-wise, I wasn't feeling the type of letter they used, and it was pretty pricy for something that felt off to me. Nah, I got a cheap jacket from China.  Me and a friend of mine who does art direction on films bloodied up the Jacket and hosed up the bat after that one was taken.

Falsum posted:What makes games non-art? The vast majority are not good art, but this is the case for movies and books as well. I would argue that games like Far Cry 4 are not art because they are made by thousands of people with no one real visionary behind them steering the ship, for purely commercial reasons. Well, maybe not "not art" but definitely low art. Hotline Miami is made by like two dudes who clearly have something to say, though. So it's art for sure.

He's right though. It was DolphinCop who is opposed to all depictions of rape, but is also posting in a thread about one of the most violent games ever made and not seeing the disconnect in those two forms of thinking.

WickedHate posted:
I'd guess that people who have PTSD from being put into violent situations would take issue with you thinking their pain is somehow less than that of people who have PTSD from sexually violent situations. Like everything else, the depiction of sexual violence being offensive or not comes down to context. The stupid getting felt up QTE in Tomb Raider was terrible because it was lazy, pointless, shock value bullshit. Just like most of the non-sexual ultraviolence in that game. The scene in question in Hotline Miami 2 is actually saying something, and isn't just there for it's own sake. Them putting in the option is a good thing, because it will let people who do have PTSD issues from that kind of thing play the game, but it's not something that should be wiped from all media. All that's going to do is make it some unspoken of taboo without showing any of the actual consequences of it. But anyway, how about that Pertubator?

Baron von Eevl posted:Another thing about putting that scene behind a prompt is that it makes you actively want to watch that. It makes you complicit in watching a rape scene in a video game. I think it actually makes more of a statement that way and relates pretty strongly to the theme of the first game. I hadn't thought about that, but yeah, you're right. That fits shockingly well, actually. I'm pretty excited for this game, you guys.

I had the same problem when I first played it. I tried to do the first level like a stealth game and kept getting murdered. I finally got frustrated enough that I just angrily ran into it out of frustration, and ended up killing everyone and getting an A ranking. That's when it all clicked for me.

I've never used anything but a controller (or Vita) to control this game and I am very good at it. Also in the newest PC update that I had no idea happened you can actually swap the shoulder and triggers so that the bumpers no longer attack.

From the trophy leak and the comics it seems like both "endings" are somehow canon, despite that being impossible with the Jacket/Biker fight. I wonder if they're going to even attempt to explain it.

Portland Sucks posted:I really loved playing through the first HLM and I'm super stoked for the second. Obviously loved the gameplay, soundtrack, whole nine-yards thing that it had going for it. Like memy said, if you finish the game there's a lot of stuff in the short 2nd campaign, I guess you'd call it. And then there's the scraps of paper you find around Jacket's apartment. And all the other dead, masked hitmen you can find around certain levels. And the stuff you learn if you find all the puzzle pieces. And then stuff that's left more vague like that Richter/Beard theories. E: Also the group of dudes in masks he's taunted by are all in his head while he's in a coma in the hospital. If you listen to what they say and what the dates are this is made pretty clear. They also all have the same sprites as other characters in the game, each representing different parts of his own psyche/memory. The horse has the same sprite as the girl he rescues, and is the one that's sympathetic to him, the one with the body of the russians you kill all through the game hates you, and rooster is you. A lot of the storytelling is done visually like this, but it's there. Vince MechMahon fucked around with this message at 06:01 on Mar 9, 2015 |

Played for about an hour and a half, and yes, this game is more of the first, but with a few interesting gimmicks for each character. I don't see myself using Tony much, as a lot of these levels seem packed with gun guys that it's harder to melee. I could see this becoming a problem with the Journalist later, but so far it hasn't been one.

I tried him out on the scene that leads down into the Sewers but I ran out of ammo leading into the third map and it was basically impossible to finish at that point just by punching. You can't reload, but you can pick up other guns and weapons when they run out.

Just finished it. Couple of story questions: Is the guy who gets shot and survives in the Soldier's unit supposed to be Jacket? I notice he was the only one of the four who doesn't have any dialogue, unless I'm misremembering. Does something different happen with the Writer if you go to the typewriter instead of the phone in the last mission? Is it possible to to survive Jake's last mission, or do you die no matter what?

Thanks. And a couple of achievement/trophy questions: Did the one about meeting Biker get removed? I don't see it in the list, or any hiddens in the list. I also never encountered him other than outside the court house. I don't think I killed anyone in the writers missions, except the very first guy outside the club who it seems like you have to kill? Did you not have to kill him or did I just gently caress up?

The game is much, much harder than the first. But I don't think it's better or worse than the first. Just harder. There were a few levels that took me about 40 minutes to beat, but those were mostly due to me not "getting" something about them. I don't think it's as good as the first game, but it's not some crushing disappointment either.

Inspector Gesicht posted:I believe the makers are trolling us. They introduce and build up these main characters, only to abruptly kill them off with much of the game still to go. By scene 18 Martin , Jake, The Henchman and the Fans have all died and accomplished nothing. It would have been cool if they'd just done a straight sequel where all these interesting characters converge somehow. The thing I think that's getting a lot of people here is that Hotline Miami 2 isn't a story about characters, it's all about the world that they're inhabiting. By the end of this game, with poo poo like America fighting a losing war against the Russians in Hawaii the idea of the 50 Blessings existing makes a lot more sense. Also even though we're being told through other characters, I would argue that the real main character of this game is still Jacket. Think about it, we have the Journalist letting his family fall apart to write a book about him, we have the Detective hunting down another 50 Blessings killer, we have the Son of the guy Jacket kills at the end of 1 who's totally lost his poo poo due to that, we have the Fans who idolize him and think they're "carrying on his work," and then of course you have Richter being made into more than a faceless murderer, and actually just as, if not more sympathetic than Jacket himself ever was. And of course you have Soldier/Beard serving alongside Jacket in Hawaii, showing how they came to be friends in the first place, and how they fell in with 50 Blessings in a roundabout way. The only guy who really feels out of place to me is the Henchman, but he's only around for one mission anyway. Jake even ties in as he's one of the guys being tortured you find in the first game.

Seeing as exactly 0% of people on Steam have any of the three hidden achievements, and same goes for the "the big picture" one, my guess is there's probably a hidden thing like the puzzle that no one has got yet.
