Exposure adds quite a bit to your score - killing people without them seeing you gets you less points than butchering a horde of russians all running towards you. I think your best bet is chaining long combos with melee weapons, though, which means you want the Frog mask. I did a run a while back where I went through each floor of each level in unbroken melee chains, except where basically forced to use guns. It's surprisingly doable, you just need to plan your route and realise that if you need to extend your combo you can throw your weapon to add another hit and reset the timeout.

It's all here, dude http://carpenterbrut.bandcamp.com Almost all of the artists on the hotline miami soundtracks have all their stuff available on Bandcamp, incidentally. Shitloads of them are on Spotify, as well.

Dolash posted:It's really only a pity that I didn't find the game itself very fun. I tried it once and found the controls too unwieldy Disregarding the abject shame you should feel - were you using a controller, or keyboard and mouse? Keyboard and mouse I was able to zoom through with the grace of a murderous gazelle, whereas with a controller I was bumping into things and missing pickups.

RandallODim posted:Also, having just played through the first again, I feel pretty convinced that Beard is Richter. It fits with Richard's statement that "Someone you know is not who you think he is", which doesn't have anyone else to really apply to in the first game, besides maybe the phone voice, and that feels like stretching. If you take the perspective that everything before Trauma is in Jacket's head, the imagery of Richter killing and replacing Beard could just as much represent Beard 'becoming' Richter, a way of understanding the transformation of Beard/Richter from Jacket's friend to his enemy after he's ambushed by him. Also, though this isn't necessarily proof, they've got the same head sprite, so that at least gives a direct link between the two. It could just be a matter of recycling assets, but I don't think any other face sprites are reused for different characters, so it would seem to make sense. I'm sure this is a pretty common theory, but it really clicked for me on the most recent playthrough. Yeah, I still struggle to see how this is not the case. I mean, Richter's got a stubble-rashed face, and there's a scene in the grocery store where you see him shaving at a bathroom sink. Unless that's supposed to indicate he's an out-of-town drifter, or something.

Maaan why did they change the shift-look mechanic? It used to basically just decouple the camera from your character - now it zips the screen all the way in the direction your mouse is pointing. It basically means you can't react quickly as you can't have the camera hovering around your character if you're holding shift.

Second Fans level is an exercise in frustration, woo. The first floor's really awesome because it's shitloads of tiny rooms with loads of doors and vectors of approach. Second one is a big warehouse surrounded by a vast corridor full of guys with guns and also dogs  It's weird, I don't remember being bothered by dying in the first one, but because the floors are a lot bigger now you lose more progress and it's more of an annoyance.

It's a puppet so you won't go "oh hey it's another person, I wonder who he is, he's not popped up in the plot yet". You will instead be aware that something fucky is going on.

King Vidiot posted:But this is the only right way to play. It's the people diving straight into Hard and playing through it on the day after release that get bitter and resentful about the game and do nothing but shitpost about how bad the game is, the rest of us chill people take it easy, dip into Normal to max out our level rankings and only then do we try Hard. The game's much more enjoyable that way. You've just made this up. swamp waste posted:I loving dont like it and there is so much of it. Somehow there are more guys than it seems like there should be. Fat, nimble black men bodyslam through doors, unpack themselves from shelves, shimmy through air ducts, yearning to punch me in the face. My bugeyed fuckup hero cant harm them with a machete but can somehow pick out the only empty shotgun from a pile of gore-soaked shotguns. This is someone's fantasy, but not mine. A thug with severely limited powers of object permanence whips around and performs a sick 180 noscope headshot on me through many panes of glass. The background music has looped four times already. yessssSSS

Nothing about the ~artist vision~ or ~indie integrity~, I just took a peek at his portfolio and these two games are the only thing that has piqued my interest and I want more. Sorry if that's a bad opinion. I'd buy HLM3 day one. I'm not so keen to play a game the developer really doesn't want to make. Nothing "cool" about it.
