How do you manage to mess up a sequel this bad?

How do you manage to mess up a sequel this bad?

By being a dumb piece of shit like you

>Actually liking Hotline Miami 2
>Calling others dumb
wew

Its the same shit

Good game. Don't feel it was messed up.

>not liking HM2
>being a shit taste having nigger
Pick both

>mess up
explain

oh no a game that is too hard for me better complain about it on Sup Forums instead of sucking it up

Weird, I loved the first one but 2 wasn't nearly as good in my experience. Like not at all.
The first one was a hard but fair, puzzle solver going carefully through each floor. 2 just seems to have put an emphasis chaos, madness and memorization.

is not completely messed up, just a few details and changes that don't click with me

I don't understand

long corridors or huge rooms where the enemy can shoot you without you seeing them ruined it.

level design just sucked in general.

Fucking thank you, I don't understand everyone defending this game. Horrible design.

I enjoyed it, but a lot of it's difficulty came from poor decisions in level design. Floors were way too large, especially with the windows.
Still a good game overall, just way weaker than the first.

Better than the first desu

By forcing you to use shift everywhere even though it's useless because enemies can see you when you can't and they all have machineguns.
Also reducing the amount of masks and forcing you to play with gimped characters that can't pick up weapons.

>Make areas too big with a lot of ranged attackers
>Include a lot of characters but not that much variety in actual gameplay
>Have a plot chock-full of middle fingers
>Turn a sociopath's manifestation of his mental instability during his coma into a godlike entity
>End the game on a nuclear fuck you
Also the level editor being late kinda sucked

>first one is all like "fuck plot"
>second one is all like "plot matters"

Nah son fuck this gay ass game

This.
There is literally no way to defend the piece of shit this game was. The only people that liked it were people that had recently joined the 'fandom' (fujos and tumblr scum) looking for more HM stuff.
I don't think the first one was like "fuck plot", I mean the plot was there, it was just the typical 2deep4u. The second one I agree, it was like "muh plot and muh interesting characters".

>Everyone dies at the end lol
>Nuke everything to remove any possibilities of levels being unreliable narrator, like in the first game
>No endgame content, besides a 'hard mode'
>No additional levels with Jacket, Biker, etc
>No secret collectibles, like in the first game
>No option to kill the Son or Pardo for being douchebags

JUST fuck my ending up family

The sniping was shit, but certain levels were even better then the original. I liked the first one more and was really mixed about 2 when it first came out, but when 2 shines it is great.

This really, they took the worst parts of the first game and made it into a sequel

The first one was more like "who cares about plot, just kill some mobsters dude"

>"""hard mode""" is just less ammo and reversed maps
>can't go fast without guns
>can't equip masks on every level
>as everyone said, muh plot
>just bad map design

At least the final level looked cool.

Rider is not canon

This guy gets it. "And then everyone got nuked" is a lame ass ending. Richard's presence is nonsensical. The more Jacket and his backstory are explained the less interesting he is.

I liked Son's wild ass drug trip and thought that scene ended well.

Wasn't there some line near the beginning of 2 that basically said "you're going to be disappointed by the ending" though?

>>"""hard mode""" is just less ammo and reversed maps
I guess remixed levels, different enemy placement and more sensitive enemies doesn't count for anything

Yeah but then on the side you were literally being judged for doing that kind of shit.
Which is some sort of meta for vidya and what not.

That's a cop-out though.
I'm so sorry for this food analogy but you can't just undercook pasta and put a dollop of sauce on top, serve it, and say "yeah this food is gonna be disappointing, enjoy."

I broke the No Pre-Orders comandemment for this. My disappointment was the perfect punishment.

>more sensitive enemies

They were still dumb as shit who you can just peekaboo kill around corners.

Saying "the ending will be shit" before making the ending shit still makes the ending complete shit. It's just a shitty ending with a fuck you attached

>th-this is a bad game, I warned you!
Yeah nah, when artists do that kind of shit is lame and stupid.
Grunge was a mistake.
pretty much yeah

Yeah, and enemies actually reacted to that, more often than not.

The game should have been about The Son killing all the Jacket rip-offs.

There was only four things this game was good for.

The music, Even the writer with a different playstyle that doesn't even matter cause you can just go in berserk mode anyway, pardo memes and the level editor.

I recently ran through hard mode and the "more sensitive" ai shit gimped them. Now they react farther to gunshots so you could heard more of them through corners.

>pardo memes
You need to go back

The music was much better in the first one overall, I mean sure you get a lot of good tracks but it just felt like a fan made sequel.

better aesthetics but worse gameplay imo tbqh falamalamadingdong, music would be debatable.

I liked it more than HM1

although i liked the game i think this is a fair way to criticize and i appreciate it

>make your game more difficult and complex
>make it stand out from the first game instead of copying it
>make jacketfags cry their eyes out because their meme character isn't in it
HM2 is a contender for best sequel ever

Storywise I enjoyed it more.
Game was harder but I wasn't that much into it since 1.

>Literally improved every aspect of the first game, even the amazing soundtrack
>hurr durr shit sequel
What the fuck are you talking about?

>more difficult and complex
more difficult yeah, but complex? the game had much less gameplay and mechanics.
>make it stand out from the first game instead of copying it
In what way?>make jacketfags cry their eyes out because their meme character isn't in it
but it is tho, did you play it?

>waaaahhh I liked game so I can't criticize it waaah

damn I really fucked up, apologies fellas

>Playing peekaboo
I pity your combos, son
