This is probably the game I regret purchasing most
Legend of grimrock 2 still has goty from last year into this one and probably through 2016. No Jane has beat it yet
>>321728274
>disagreed
Prove me wrong.Oh wait you can't
>Greenhouse firefight simulator
>Nukes fall, everyone dies
First one was better. The Son, Fat Sanic, and Fans were the only ones with good levels. HM1 was pretty much good the entire way through, barring Trauma.
did biker die in the nukes

Ez
Not a Hero was a better sequel to Hotline Miami than Hotline Miami 2. HM just felt souless, the devs lost what made the first one so great.
>>321729060
Most likely
>>321729291
They're not bad but I still prefer the stoner feel of Daisuke
>>321729676
Okay, how about El Huervo's other 2 songs in HM2.

>>321728018
Yep senpai
Would have been a lot better if ace detective Manny Pardo was put in charge of development, but then, what game wouldn't be?
Is there anything that man CAN'T do?
We should all strive to have such thick skin.
>>321729769
You may have just changed my mind.
>>321728278
>Level design boiling down to guys with guns being able to see you before you see them via hallways and windows
You can look around. If you know how to do that, this is literally impossible. It's been proven.
You're right, OP. It's mine, too.
HM1 is too overrated
HM2 is too underrated
It's like poetry, it rhymes
>>321729604
He said in the interview with Evan he was going to the desert. Judging from the ending it was only the east coast that was nuked, so maybe he made it. If he was whacked by 50 blessings thugs before leaving then I'd believe it, as much as a cop out as I think it would be.
>>321728274
The soundtrack was shit. The individual songs weren't bad, but the songs within the context of the game were crap.
>>321730339
The interview was about the aftermath of Hotline Miami, and that he fled to the desert after that scene in which he interrogates the Janitors in an attempt to avoid further political jobs that could brand him a terrorist.
Who /El Huervo - Turf/ here?
>>321728274
>goat story
>>321728018
Nah senpai
>>321730454
Literally every song in the game was amazing except for the outro one.
The story was too intrusive and the level design was poopoo
>>321730878
You best not be talking about "You Are The Blood."
I'VE BEEN THROUGH THE DESERT ON A BIKE WITH NO NAME

Hotline MIAMI 3 fucking when?
>>321728018
That's not Ori and the Blind Forest
>>321731017
Yes I am son.
That song was outstandingly unfitting for the ending.
The best song for the ending should have been a reuse of Horse Steppin, that song would feel so much more fitting, expecially with that conversation with Richter and Richard, and how Richter accepts his fate without stress.
>>321731275
Devs confirmed hm3 won't happen.
>>321730291
Nah, HM1 was fresh and original and it had satisfying gameplay. HM2 is too flawed and had terrible level design.
>>321731465
>modern Hideo and Kojima
> He can't beat Dead Ahead on Hard mode.
>>321731537
Everyones favourite development duo
HM2s story was really hit or miss, but had a better soundtrack
HM1 had that beautiful simplicity to it that 2 is lacking
>>321731497
In all honesty I thought that level design isn't as bad as people make it out to be, though I agree that they tend to be more gun heavy.
Dead Ahead and Casualties can go suck a fuck however
Reminder young Son appeared on HM1 cover
>>321728018
The only thing that was ever good about Hotline Miami was that it was frantically-paced and the levels for the sequel weren't.
>>321731858
>that level design isn't as bad as people make it out to be
No, but it still has a ton of problems. Making levels bigger isn't necessarily better with that engine, and the game was buggy as fuck at launch.
OST is GOTY, only one that competes in that department is Undertale
Level design is Hit or Miss (Mostly the later)
They made the mistake of trying to weave a complex story that ends up being hard to understand.
Overall a 7.5/10
>>321731996
Buggy how?
Didn't get it on release

Biggest fucking letdown of 2015.
>eschews surreal weirdness of HM1 for a linear plot that explains/ruins the original game
>takes a game about fast, brutal melee and turns it into a cover shooter
>kills off the only characters that are enjoyable to play halfway through
>THE FUCKING BEARD LEVELS
I have never been more angry about a sequel. Literally the only good thing about it was the soundtrack.
Son is CUTE
CUTE!
DONT MIND ME IM JUST THE MOST UNDERRATED GOTY ON /V/
>>321729302
Not a Hero suffered from half of its characters being useless, and levels being focused on randumb objectives rather than efficient killing.
I appreciated its sense of humor though
>>321732174
> /hmg/
What ever happened to that general
>>321729912
Pardoposting was no-doubt the best thing to come out of HLM2
>>321732571
It died
BANE?
>>321728018
Is keyboard and mouse better for this game or controller? I'm getting input lag with a mouse
>>321732679
But why
We had Pardo posting
Gotta get a grip
Show some goddamm respect
Fuck we had so many reddit memes to spam
>>321732787
Keyboard and mouse = better movement
Controller = better aim
Reminder this is the original Tony who got literally btfo in HM1 appearing alive in a flashback where you play as Jake

He was talking g about the first Tony from hm1
Nevertheless the guy getting a tattoo does look like new Tony

That's second Tony

Here's the original Tony
>>321732463
he IS cute!

Uh I don't remember that.
Pic?

I wanted closure and I didn't get it. They might as well have just taken a shit on my face t b h. They changed the formula too much i m o f am.

Underrated Snake, shit game

Everyone died the end
You dislike this underrated gem because of picrelated, right?
DUDE GET A GRIP LMAO
>>321730842
Yeah, I'm not sure what he's talking about
Undertale was the game about the goat story.
>>321733745
Oh shit I didn't realize those were words on the floor.
My bad.

Who the fuck wrote this?
>>321733808
yeah what a great ending. they made the story 10x more complicated and then just fuckin dookied in ur face, everyone dies, nothing matters. Its kinda like real life, I guess. They wanted me to feel like shit to prove a point.
>>321730802
good taste, have a better looking picture

epic, absolutely epic
>>321732596
Agreed
>>321730291
I got that reference
>>321734442
From what I get the crazy general started a nuclear fucking war by getting gang members to kill each other and killing a politician.
The last part actually makes sense, but why the first?
>>321734442
pls explain
>>321734304
Hm2 was about the point of view and goals of different people involved with the Ruso - American conflicts in some way between the late 80s and early 90s. Why the fuck does this confuse so many people.
Only game that I looked forward to this year, yet wasn't disappointed with. Not sure if it is because it is so fun for the most part, or if 2015 was just shitty in general.
>>321734648
the colonel and his boys assasinated USSR president at the meeting
USSR nuked America right away
also the colonel came up with 50 Blessings and animal masks
The nuke ending was just the developers passive aggressively saying they didnt want to do Hotline Miami anymore
Hotline Miami 2 is a textbook example of how NOT to make a sequel.
>>321734948
Wow that scene, I didn't realize that is where he got the mask idea from. The war redpilled the fuck out of the colonel and he realized just how similar we are to the primal beasts in the jungle.
Creators should've focused on less characters, like, give us just Fans, Writer, the actor and (possibly) Pardo.
If they need to give us cutscenes like Beard getting nuked there could've been something like a scene of Writer asking someone about it and blah blah.
>>321735626
Pardo is the best character.
>>321728018
it wasn't as good as the first game
but it was still okay. Definitely had some good tracks.
Not goty, but top 3 for me.
>tfw pardoposting never really took of outside of /hmg/
>>321736502
It was popular on the steam forums but quickly got banned
Pardo posting is the best
>>321728018
Is this bait?
>>321736502
>>321737368
I never participated in those threads. What were the characteristics of pardoposting?
>>321738014
It was just hilarious trying to role play as Thick Skin. The way he tried to make the Miami Mutilator murders big with the news and failed was pitiful but easy to imitate for fun. Good times.
WHO WOULD PLAY HIM IN THE INEVITABLE BIOPIC?
>>321738014
While Hotline Miami 2 was good game on it's own, I think it could've benefitted alot if it only focused on the handsome detective Manny Pardo as he tries to catch the dashing shadow killer, The Miami Mutilator. Jacket is only a copycat killer who is mimicking The Miami Mutilator and trying to get his fifteen minutes of fame, but we all know what happens to punks like him.
>>321738014
describing yourself as having thick skin, talking about the cunning Miami Mutilator, overly using the word sophisticated, having a disdain for thugs who are trying to get there 5 minutes of fame, also narcissism along with a rare Manny
It really should of been has big as baneposting desu
REMINDER PARDO WAS IN VICE CITY IN 1984

Holy shit, her nose is bigger than my house
I honestly liked this game more than any other game this year. I liked all the characters and the way it played out. The level design is what everyone complains about, but I never really thought it was that bad. It's a little harder to get adjusted to more gunplay when in HM1 you wanted to sneak more melee kills than anything. But I still had alot of fun with it. I think the fact it actually had story and somewhat fleshed out the first games is what made more of a lasting impression on me over the first game.
Plus the soundtrack is amazing, I thought it was funny this thread popped up since I'm actually listening to it right now
>Playing as henchmen
>realize all those faceless ruskies had families and shit
>>321740951
I listened so much to both soundtracks (like daily for months) that I'm kind of burned out
>>321740951
It was without a doubt soi much better than undertale, everything about hotline miami 2 was well written and....
GRIPPING
Wish the game focused more on the fans , they were pretty interesting
>>321728018
Plenty of better games. So no.
>>321741908
2015 had alot of disappointing games really.
Nothing really stood out. 2010,2011,2012,2013, and 2014 had at least 1 or 2 Good games but thats it.
>>321728018
the only thing really wrong with it are the levels when the level editor is fucking finished people will be making some awesome stuff
