The Unicorn mask is also ridiculously good if you're just trying to beat a level instead of racking up points,

Clearly propaganda from the Russian Mafia made to slander Hotline Miami's good name.

The Swans are brother and sister, controlled at the same time apparently.

Phone post so I cannot link it but the hlm twitter said so.

Here's a link.

Game looks rad.

Personally I usually can't stand difficult games, mainly because I hate repeating stuff over and over again. Hotline struck this right balance of death not being too punishing due to you only losing a minute or two of progress at most so I never got too discouraged and/or bored when I died. The boss fights sucked though, but they're getting cut out in 2 so it doesn't matter anymore.

I'm still disappointed that its not the actual title to the game.

I asked on Twitter once about if the various weird masks like Jones, Russel, Nigel or Oscar would come back but neither of the devs responded.

I do wonder how hard it'd be to import stuff from the first game into the second as level editor assets, if it'd be possible at all.

If I recall correctly they've stated they're getting rid of the gimmick masks and there are no different masks, just different characters and their playstyles, i.e. the dude with the Tiger mask is like Tony, the dude with the zebra mask can combat roll.

Cactus and Devolver straight up said they'd be fine with Australians just pirating the game.

I think it was Bker's, so you're about right.

It's not. The comic is treating the final boss fight as canon and that Jacket got arrested for it so that means Jacket killed Biker.

# ¿ Feb 18, 2015 01:24

Accordion Man: Nov 7, 2012; Buglord

I thought it was the other way around, 50 Blessings sent Jacket after Biker because Biker was asking too many questions and Jacket was just a mad attack dog that didn't mind who he was working for as long as he got to kill people.

But yeah, they probably got really scared of Jacket afterwards fearing that they couldn't control him for much longer.

I preordered it when it went live yesterday.

I'm ready.

You can preorder the game on Nuuvem for around ~$8.50. It's not region locked, though I think its the normal version and not the Special Edition.

As I said before I don't think Jacket really cared at all who he was working for as long as he could keep hurting people.

Yeah, aside from Hotline being fun to play it really does a good job of avoiding glamorizing all of its all messed up cast.

Nuuvem has it cheap too, $8.86. They also have the Digital Deluxe version if you want it.

Is there some sort of release schedule for the comics?

4th issue just came out today. I assume the last issue will be a few days before or on the day of the game's release.

I just noticed all the shots on the Steam page show the player using a gun. Not a single melee weapon shown. Pre-order cancelled.

Guns are cool, I always used them. :smuggo:

Hobo with a Shotgun has evil versions of Daft Punk.

It's a good movie.

Its been a while so I forgot what button it was for sure, but you can look around the area so you have less chance of getting jumped. I think its Shift. The game rewards berserking it, like how the AI will miss more with guns if you're charging them. You can still take a stealthy guerrilla approach though, its what I always did.

There's already a Postal 3 though.

If I order the game from gog.com can I activate it on Steam?

No, but if you buy it from Humble Store you'll get a DRM free version and a Steam key.

If I remember right they said 2's not going to have boss fights at all.

You can scout ahead to plan and play hit and run (That's what my playstyle was and worked well enough) but you can't take it that slow.

This game really isn't fun. I loved 1 but they just made the combat such a frustrating slog in this game. The levels are way too big and melee blows because the AI is hyperaware of you if you're anywhere near them. Really disappointing.

Ha, now I just lost my save file due to the recent update. My hype for this game has died pretty fast.

This just made go back to play 1 again after more than a year and man its still great and a lot of fun. Really just reinforces my distaste towards 2.

Man I read stuff like this and it is bizarre to me that people are into the stories of these games

HM1 had good writing because it was minimalistic and vague like some fever dream and really fit the atmosphere and gameplay of 1. 2's is just really up its own rear end and its clear they were best off keeping it minimalistic.

The weird thing is that it's actually getting really good reviews, this thread is the only place I've seen any real negativity

I finished it last night and was really just kinda disappointed overall. I'll play through on hard and hope it's maybe more fun a second time through. Like I replayed the first one probably 10+ times but I can't really see that happening here, it just felt like a slog

The release day hype is still in effect, I guarantee that in a couple of months people won't be looking back at this game very fondly, though it will still have its fans (Which honestly eludes me)

I don't know much about US geography but would nukes on Miami hit Hawaii?

Hawaii is thousands of miles away in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, so no.
