What the hell was up with Manny, anyway? An innocent, upstanding beholder of the law kills a bunch of thugs, and that's it? No interesting twist like he was the Miami Mutilator, or he wanted Evan to die, so he sent him to the russian mansion to get killed? Same can be said for the Butcher, feels like the only reason he was in the game was because he was pretty much the first storyline we knew of before the game's release, and because it'd be cheap to take out a controversial storyline, even if it went absolutely nowhere.

Also, i feel like Martin Brown was alive at the end of the game, until the nuke. Like, he sees Richard in his dream, and then it immediately transitions to his final level where he supposedly dies, which makes me think that he only died in his nightmare. But, the alternate ending of the game, If you pick up the phone instead of getting more paper for Richter, has an interview with Martin that lists the same movies that Not Ellen Degeneres listed in her interview with him.

I think Kung Fury was a pretty good movie.

Also, gently caress Into the Pits, even on normal. Dark-rear end sewer the same color as the dogs, making me pick ash n alex just so I can hear that loving chainsaw noise forever so the dogs dont bite my neck out.

Dead Ahead hard mode is a very balanced level that has the perfect amount of challenge, and is in no way bullshit.

I find it hard to believe the Fans are supposed to be in their mid 20s and not teenagers.

At the beginning of Beard's first level, you can see all the fans chilling out at a bar. Same exact hairstyles for all of them, so it'd be one hell of a coincidence if that's not them. Also, it implies they're at least the same age as Jacket

Why did I just think of a mod that turns the Fans and the Boss into Seinfeld characters? I mean, think of it. Elaine as Corey, the Maestro as Tony, Jerry and Kramer as Ash and Alex, Newman as Mark, and the Boss is replaced by Costanza himself.

"GEORGE IS GETTING UPSET!" would be the new GOTTA GET A GRIP!

I like the game, but it also disappoints me because while it is fun to play, everything is meaningless and it always makes me feel hollow inside.

You're right, Miss Minnie is still bad but it's not nearly as bad as The Rumble and doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath.

Not as bad as the Rumble? That means the Rumble is bad, meaning that a great level with a great song is bad, or you just have a comparatively bad taste in music, so lets go with that.

I'm gonna beat this dumb game.

A+ on normal, just got catastrophe and apocalypse on hard to go (unless you need to do abyss as well?)

Somehow got genocide just by playing normally and failing forever.

Dunno about box full of sharp objects, I must be missing like one obscure weapon or something.

I'm also going through HLM1 trying to A+ that, I think I'm about halfway? But the levels are getting harder so, gently caress.

Hard news, the entrance to the level, there's a glass bottle on the desk.

Every time. I keep coming back to the game to see if anything changed. I don't know why, or what I'm expecting. It feels like the game would have been perfect if instead of all the "AFTER THE MASKED MURDERER" bullshit, it just focused on Beard in his platoon the entire game. I don't loving care about the Fans, Martin Brown, Evan, or any of those other rat assholes, I just want a game with the only person who did something MEANINGFUL in the game that lasted more than two months (in-game).

None of anything anyone did in any of the games was actually meaningful, and the soldier missions were the worst parts of the game.

The soldier missions were the only meaningful part of the game because it set up how commander fuckass started 50 Blessings. And, I liked Beard's levels, they aren't that hard unless you try being Rambo..But the fat guys holding SMGs are bullshit, I'll give you that.

Well not everyone died... when they do the roundtable discussion two main characters are missing. One we see for sure caught in the explosion.

And the other we specifically don't.

Yes, yes, Biker probably survived (Seeing as Evan visiting him at the bar prrrrrrrrobably didn't happen)

I'm going to make a Mario Maker level with a bunch of fat hammer bros, baby bowsers, fat hammer bros, and one big bowser, and every tile you step on, or block you break will play a glass shattering effect.

I shall name it: Hotline Miami 3: Wrong Number

Yeah, I don't get why the Henchman and Jake had such brief, few levels.

I feel like Jake should have gotten one more level to test out Dallas, henchman should have had many more levels. Hell, I feel like he should have had as much time being in the game as Evan had.

Fake edit: Wow, I just remembered that the Pig Butcher exists. Remember when they made him out to be much more than he ended up being? Or was that just the controversy I'm remembering.

It might be childish, but I do like how the game defied almost every expectation people had for it, for better and worse.

I mean, in theory this is a funny idea, but in practice it's a good way to get most of the playerbase to dislike the game.

All I wanted was a payoff, and the only thing I got was a PAYDAY FELLAS from Blood Money. Because that's what I was thinking through the entire level

I both love and hate the message that HLM2 sent

The one right at the beginning. "There's a twist at the end, I doubt you or anyone will like it", not just talking about the Pig Butcher's demise, but the nuking of Florida and Hawaii, and how the fanbase would react to it.

Actually, I guess it also applies to the ending of everyone else's storylines, too!

So what's the real advantage to the Hammer, other than being able to fight every kind of enemy, barring soldiers?

Also, does he have a facial portrait that shows off his gigantic forehead?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJhl79mWGZc Huh, he can sing really well it turns out.
