um bro, there was a sequel
I don't mean for this to be an HM2 hate thread since it's also a great game in its own right, but lol
>
sequel sucked compared to the original
filtered by windows
i 100%'d both games
they aren't hard, hlm2 is just bad
Post Hard S-ranks.
Hotline Miami 2 is better in every way so long as you aren't a moron who fails to comprehend windows and long lines of sighf

lmao, gotta get a grip
the weapons piling up and having to go through them was miserable. Some of the lategame stages had moronic peek-a-boo death funnels where you piled up like 20 bodies
>open Hotline Miami thread

The absolute state of these threads
It becomes easier to manage when you take into consideration that weapons are picked up in the same order they're dropped.
Is there any good madness combat mods for HM. I mean its the perfect setting for the series. You can even make it an AU to tie into HM taking place in Nevada. Hank and shit its all masks
fricking 9000 clones
still obsessed
what the frick is HM dev doing rn?
Are they just being NEETS living off on HM checks.
they've been making a new game for a while now, it's been shown a few times, but we know basically nothing about it, other than they're both working on it and it's going to be published by devolver.
I've been hearing about their "new game" that''s supposedly in development for 8 years
We do it's called SEctorX it's cyberpunk side scroller with kinky familiar aesthetic
the sequel is a mess of a game, shit ass story
but still, it plays like the first game so i just see it as more levels to play
Kind of agree with
Their was a massive spike in the difficulty overall that made certain parts feel more like luck than skill based and certain characters sucked ass. The story felt very convoluted and all over the place.
Personally I think they should have spent more time balancing certain levels and play testing differnt charcters and probably should have either cut down on the story or made a third game or even a DLC.
Than again the convolution probably was intentional, but I hate it when games do that shit.
Hot take but for me HLM2 is superior to the original.
Whilst HLM is the more streamlined and polished experience, it didn't really leave much of an impact on me. Really felt like it got carried by its presentation even if the gameplay loop was addictive.
HLM2 is a lot more ambitious, features multiple characters intertwined in a non-linear narrative that tried to expand up on the previously established gameplay loop through the use of gimmicks that mostly served to its detriment. Yet despite the gameplay feeling undercooked and inconsistent, it does feel like the game itself has honed in on recontextualizing the events of the previous game whilst further fleshing out the themes and developing interesting lore elements. The first game also used environmental storytelling and symbolism, but the sequel used them to a far greater extent, to the point the game feels a bit avant garde.
I really enjoyed the characters and narrative which I found fun to pick apart and analyze.
So despite HLM2 reaching greater lows in terms of gameplay than the OG, it reaches heights the original could never therefore in my book, it's the superior experience.
>$25 on Xbox
I still waiting for a fricking sale on it
it's like 2 bucks on steam
it goes down to this price frequently in fact, its sequel too
how do you even play these games on console
I just tried it out of curiosity and it's honestly not that bad. Despite only using keyboard and mouse to play these games since release, I got used to it pretty quickly.
"people" play HLM on a controller
Wtf
I used to play it on KB&M but playing it on controller is honestly miles better. New players tend to think "aiming" is the key, but in actuality you can pretty much get an easy kill just by unloading all of your bullets at their general direction, and you don't really have time to conserve ammo when you are keeping your combo for the high score, constantly mag dumping, throwing weapon, and switching it is the real key to high score, and controllers are more suited for that.
>t.
I don't see the problem. I mainly play PC and HM is definitely slightly easier with a mouse, but it's not like ammo preservation matters unless you suck ass at the game.
it's the closest to playing the game optimally, which is playing it on arcade cabinet.
I beat 1 and 2 on the Vita
>tried playing hotline miami on switch
>get frustrated that i can't aim specifically where i want unlike mouse aiming
>buy it on pc
>get frustrated that i can't make some really nimble movements i could do more easily on controller
anon it should be able to run on a toaster just get it on pc
It goes half off sometimes. I bought it on there a while back to see how it plays on console.
You can get both games as a set for 5 dollars on PSN right now.
Hong Kong Massacre is also pretty cool
I fricking hated how the regular enemies in the original had a random chance of surviving a bullet and how the bosses were incredibly easy to beat. The reliable damage system alone makes the sequel far better. Not to mention that it comes with a level editor. Some of the custom campaigns, like Wild Style and the Hunter trilogy, are legit better than the levels the devs came up with.
You'd be hard-pressed to find an indie dev interested in making an urban crime game. All they know is "dark fantasy" or "sci-fi".
Anyone got advice on getting an A+ rating? I have a few chapters left to ace, and I keep seeing people say to bring Carl in with the drill.
>keep seeing people say to bring Carl in with the drill
sounds like a great idea if you hate fun
just wear zack and git gud at comboing, you don't have to get full combos just combo most of each floor
>Combo and go fast
>Farm high point executions with a few combos mixed in
These are your choices
Carl is not as good anymore since they nerfed the points you gain from executing with the drill. I maxed every map by just using the combo extending mask. If you find the right line you can just clear the whole map in one combo and get enough for A+. Or at least most of the map, about 80% chained together is enough. For example in hot and heavy you can carry the combo from the ground floor into the bottom right staircase (Spa floor) and clear that out with a combo. Then you can break the combo adn basically take it slow since you already have a 50 kill combo or something
>Carl is not as good anymore since they nerfed the points you gain from executing with the drill.
when did they do that? Last I saw Carl was still far and away the easiest and most dependable way to rack up points
dunno what the current reward is, but it used to give 5,600 points
carl fricking sucks and i love it. i hate myself and everyone around me
I hated 2 at launch but replayed it and both the story and gameplay and the whole 1+2 package I consider one of the greatest gaming experiences one can have. It will never be topped and it does not need to be. There will be different games which will hit differently but this duology will remain timeless forever
Didn't a mod just come out recently from one of the devs? How is it?
>Comparing a finished story short experience done and over to a rogueshit forever escapism game
ngmi
I think what matters most is the addictive moment to moment gameplay, which both have. SU has lots of fun tools and items to frick around with.
I actually didn't compare anything in my post. Enjoy both.
Thats true but what I like about the HM series is that it is short and designed level to level. I am extremely tired of roguelikes after playing like ten of them, after a while you start seeing a pattern. I also do not think gameplay addicting enough to get me to play a game forever is a good thing. Id rather play 10 8 hour games than play one than takes 80 hours. I feel like most roguelikes are traps that keep you from developing and hotline miami had a good nationalism vs patriotism message. Synthetic has no message its just pure gameplay through and through which is fine but when it starts to put in enough random elements it stops being worth researching and starts being a bit of a casino crack. I try to stay away from such games as much as I can now
sounds like a you problem, brainlet
Damn, this is closest to a real answer to OP.
Just stop the nukes anon.
Not even close
Anyone can recommend games with similar vibe? Not a fan of top down shooters, but I'm sucker for good urban environment like l4d
Just play Tapan Kaikki, the original game which this is a rip off from.
who is the Miami mutilator?
pardo
>Manny Pardo was a real guy
what the frick
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Pardo_(serial_killer)
He also sorta looks like the Miami Mutilator that Pardo hallucinates in his apartment
I don't know, but he's a real piece of work. Thankfully the great detective Manny Pardo is hot on his heels and his capture is inevitable.
What ever happened to that one guy who was working on a spiritual successor? I remember it was looking really good until he started adding persona shit and using traced art. Did he ever finish it or was it abandoned?
he turned it into cucked persona shit, and then dropped it. you can still play it, but it's frontier levels of dog-shit.
I remember people and some journos trying to turn it into a sob story lol
never coming out
just play any other hm mod on itch
to be honest i wanted to see how id't end up
I played the scrapped levels the dude dropped a couple years after abandoning the project, it actually was pretty fun although that was back in like 2018 so idk if it still holds up.
Just using your post if anyone wants the exe for it.

No dude, that's not it at all. I've never even seen this before. The leak I'm talking about was a zip file with a whole game folder in it and multiple game .exes, only some of which worked. It looked completely different.

Not even cactus's best game to be honest.
Good for him getting some financial success from his games but they got less interesting when he started making them for money.
2 is better at everything besides the war sections and the story is fricking great. If you think it's "convoluted" is cause you can't comprehend narration in non chronological order
level design ranges from terrible to tolerable in 2, 1 is excellent all around
The levels in 2 were solid to good, then during and after Vietnam they became so shit.
>insane enemy sightlines
>10 fat guys per floor
>windows everywhere
>getting shot from outside of your view distance
The gameplay and playable characters were a lot better and some of the levels were cool, but it wasn't as tight of an experience as 1. I really hoped the level editor would fix all those problems, but it took so fricking long to release that most of the hype was gone.
most workshop maps just double down on the bullshit
now i only ever play them if they have interesting settings or custom sprites because i lost interest in tryharding hm
The last few levels as the son I didnt even bother finding a route, I would just go slow and take everyone out very slowly. Seriously, the amount of enemies per floor and the amount of sight angles was just cancer
but it has
picrel
step aside
>creator claims to never have played hm
what a weird thing to lie about
I beat this game and forgot about its existence from release till seeing this post. Gunpoint was better and it wasn't even the same genre.
I could consistently bug it to get into a room that said "ROR2 when". I forgot how to get it though.
Also the unique starter weapons are the most fun but the game encourages you to switch. Especially the one supergun which is both insanely damaging and penetrates floors was just silly fun
2 is better is every way
>11 years
Christ has it been that long. I wonder how much in total they have made from sales. Are they still working on a new game? the frick is dude even doing.
for me, it's roller mobster playing during deathwish
That level (particularly Cory's part) and Homicide are so goddamn hard to Full Combo
>angry boomer opinion
>synthwave music came and went just like that
damn...
wtf even happened to the 2010s... I swear they like ended in 2016 and we've been stuck in limbo ever since
trends come and go, in today's climate instead of lasting a decade it ends up being half of the length.
perturbator is probably the only one that'll continue to do stuff in the style of synthwave with a difference approach in style for each new album he releases, new model has the highest of highs (god complex) but one of the lowest of lows (ventablack, it's really bad, really bad).
Lustful sacraments is pretty consistent with their songs, excess is a great song and god says is the highlight.
carpenter brut's has been nothing but lesser degrees of what made his stuff good, only notable things are hairspray hurricane and day stalker/night prowler, other than that it's pretty generic stuff.
But in general synthwave is pretty much just either dead or people copying roller mobster or turbo killer.
Synthwave was what mainstream music shoulda been. Instead we get nonstop mumblerap and genuinely disgusting shit like "WAP". Had the pleasure of listening to that in a car with coworkers earlier. I'm not a prude but jesus that shit was vile.
Cultural decades don't usually sync up with actual time. For example the cultural 90s ended with 9/11 and the 9/11 era ended around 2008-2009. It does seem like nothing's changed since around 2010, though. We're still here, Wojaks are still here, most of the same sites popular in 2010 are still popular (except even worse ones like tiktok). I don't really look forward to it changing because I know whatever comes next is gonna be worse.
>most of the same sites popular in 2010 are still popular
The eighth chan is never coming back.
Cyberpunk has it 😉
I wish Biker had more levels

we dont see him get blasted and he was a surviver, so its likely that he is still alive

I've heard you have to fight russians there. I don't want to be brainwashed by propaganda of the Hollywood type, so I'm not sure if I should play it. Italian gangs, israeli gangs, Mexican cartels are all fine, but Arab or russian bad guys are a bit of a dirty CIA founded meme to make the masses more accepting of military interventions. So I'm not watching iron man, but this game is not American. So it could be internalized self-perpetuaring propaganda. Or a reasonable premise since Russian gangs do exist. Is it brainwashing, Ganker?
have a nice day
they are commies, not russians, commies hated the russians
The US literally becomes a USSR puppet over some shitty incident on fricking Hawaii. How is this pro-American propaganda?
in fact the debs said that they were trying to do a game about how nationalism is le bad
I mean, the whole reason everything gets nuked into oblivion is some nationalistic schizo staging a coup
they were absolutely right
the coronel wasnt a bad guy. he was close to his soldiers and lost a war.
and both the presidents of the us and the soviet state deserved death, but its true that the retaliation was to be expected and you could argue that non patriot would rather live under the soviet occupation than die and that this is the correct decision, this is your decision to make, serve the guys that nuked your country or kill them
I see. I'll play the game then, thanks. Sorry for being a skizo
Disgusting. Show some goddamn respect

>A+ rank HM1
>feel like a big shot, try s ranking HM2
>quit after like 2 levels
Nah come on, HM2 has pretty lenient combo timers. Although level 2 does have that elevator transition that makes the s rank a b***h if you aren't autistic
I remember S ranking Homicide is basically frame perfect because of that elevator
I just want a 3rd person shooter version of this. Still no comparison.
it already was surpassed in every single way
It needs to be finished first
The DLC better be worth the 4(+) year wait
“It’s on the house, kid. You would have done the same for me.”
Beard is the best character in the game, by far
Richter and Beard were real human beans.
>11 years later
Could any of the characters have stopped the bombing before it happened or was 50 Blessings' plan too entrenched by that point to be stopped?
well, there's a lot of things that would have had to have happened first.
1. jake would have needed to not get captured at his final level, and take the diskette on the 50 blessing guy's desk
2. evan would have needed to make the connection between 50 blessings and the masked murderers which, evidently, he did not
3. evan and pardo would have had to, i dunno, drive up to DC and kill all the 50 blessings agents before they could shoot the US and USSR prez's

I know he's there to help Evan, be a narcissistic son of a b***h and also one of the many characters that shows Jacket's influence on Miami but goddamn it I wanted Manny to be the hard boiled good cop that is always hunting maniacs like the Fans (deserved their deaths and how they went) and the Mutilator

No way.
I dont want to look up the release date..
i like the son a lot too. Dude has balls of steel
