I'm just gonna drop the most comfy song in here before anyone else does.

Definition of "acquired taste". Absolutely hated it at first playthrough but once I started getting gud I really began to love it and with the addition of the level editor it personally surpassed the first one for me.

hotline miami 2 is one of the only truly postmodern video games

>trying to get 1-800-goddamn
>get to seizure
>give up
that level can go fuck itself
>can't see shit
>first area is done best with guns so bodyguard or firepower is better
>second and third area is done best with dirty hands
>either screw myself over on the first area or on the other two
>still can't see shit
Liam Rodriguez
another comfy hit youtube.com
really does have a unique, non-descriptive feeling to it, like it comes from somewhere outside of Earth
Lucas Perez
This game was a pile of fucking shit.
How do you go from a game all about adrenaline and quick thinking to a game where you have to hang back and meticulously plan your course ahead every few seconds because the whole thing is littered with glass walls for enemies to shoot you through?
Juan Bell
have dinner

I love HLM2 but that describes 1.
2 was far more straight forward with it's Tarantino esc. plot.
Jayden Russell
Beating this game on hard was an accomplishment for me that year.
I will never attempt it again.
Caleb Edwards
Hotline Miami 1 was a better game.
Hotline Miami 2 has the better soundtrack though.
Mason White
but that's why, because it's all irrelevant
Juan Moore
>Tarantino esc.
Angel Rodriguez
I already did. I had spaghetti and garlic bread.
Hotline Miami 2 is a fucking joke compared to the first game.
Luis White
1 captured that theme way better though. Not to say that 2's story wasn't good, it was just more traditional. That final scene with Richter and his mom is one of my favorite vidya endings.
Liam Hughes
mad cuz bad
Colton Perez
only carbs for dinner, for shame user. get some veggies at least
Andrew Watson
LYNCHED
Josiah Carter
I beat the game. I had to force myself to do it since there was very little fun to be had, but I finished it.
Ryder Clark
man, I'm thirsty
Bentley Morris
GOTTA

Tyler Campbell
the fault with 1 is that makes it a point to show how much it don't matter, but in 2 it just doesn't matter; 1 needs to try, whereas 2 just is
Oliver Long
You don't hang back in HM2 you learn to move, look forward and shoot at the same time. Hell you can even dodge enemy pistol fire with any character if you turn right as the enemy shoots. You're just used to HM1 where the winning strategy was get melee weapon and run through left clicking. HM1's not a bad game, but it's baby mode in comparison to HM2.

I love how the universal reaction to this song is to call it total shit for the first 30 seconds and then by the end its everyone's favorite:

Nicholas Wilson
are there any other games like hotline that manage to capture the pure essence of blissful, unbridled, non-edgy, raging bloodlust? I want to feel freedom again
Ryan Thompson
Ape Out has a very similar gameplay style with good music motivating you to kill.
Robert Hernandez
Is it possible to beat this level in Hard without raging? The Chainsaw guy they added only dies to guns.
Oliver Bell
it's actually this

Noah Nguyen
subway is my favorite level
I think they changed it because he dies to melee now.
Lincoln Ortiz
I'm digging the jazz vibe, thanks
Owen Green
Non-lethal melee?
Nathaniel Price
No problem man.
Joseph Sullivan
yeah, I beat it the other day without going to rage/lethal mode
Mason Young
>tfw you realize what the cover art actually is
bastards hid everything right in plain sight
David Bailey
Katana Zero is a bit in the same vibe.
Eli Campbell

This is probably my favorite track, that or the one on Martin Brown's level
Some of the characters feel wasted but I still love 2
Tyler Perez
I can only think of one thing that it hints at - the nukes. What do you mean by everything? I feel like I'm missing what the cover art actually is.
