Never finished 2 because I got bored, 1 was great though if you forget that fucking cancer final boss.

yeah, the open level design of 2 was frustrating, and the ending was shit, but overall the gameplay felt a lot less clunky and more precise

>HM2 soundtrack

Soundtracks, gameplay and than perfected gameplay, and each having a interesting, unique narrative, although some bugs. Also the first Hotline Miami is better, but even so Hotline Miami 2 is still almost perfect like Hotline Miami, it's just the story brings it a little bit down. Funny enough though most of its negative criticisms are people complaining about its gameplay when really they just need to get gud. Christ I wish the would make a third one already, but at least there's mods.

1 is a laser-focused narrative experience that never sacrifices gameplay to tell an engaging story.
2 is an inventive sequel that does its own thing rather than try to pointlessly retreat 1.

The devs knew exactly what they wanted to do and exactly what game they wanted to make.

>The ending was shit
You're shit.

who is the best character and why is it tony?

>no u
shit response for your shit opinion, pleb

thats a strange way to spell 'manny pardo'

You know what happens to thugs like you?

>HM1 soundtrack

>reddits guy

Aesthetic

shit response for YOUR shit opinion, pleb

good music
some people buy this game only because of the soundtrack

Arguably the best HM2 track coming through

>youtube.com/watch?v=aCi7NMOSUic

>then everyone got nuked
explain how this wasnt a shit tier ending

because the entire point of the story is that the killings are pointless, what better way to show that then to just have everything nukes at the end making the entire game pointless
also the devs didn't want to make another hotline game

Not him but the story did actually make sense, it's been so long since I've played so I honestly can't remember. 1 and 2 were a lot more connected than you might think.

the music

literally the best thing about the games is the atmosphere and the music is by far the biggest part of that

Can't speak to the second but the first was a shit game with broken gameplay masking as difficulty. Challenge should come from smart AI or clever design, not controls so terrible that aiming is a clusterfuck and movement gets you killed because it overcompensates every fucking input. People ate it up because being born in 1996 somehow gives you an expert view of the 80s despite the game getting it completely wrong right down to the music.

This is right up there with Vanquish as one of the most overrated games ever made.

I don't know if any singular track can be called the best.

>Terrible controls
How is wasd+mouse terrible?

>HM1
>tight, fluid gameplay
>excellent soundtrack
>maps that you can breeze through once you master them
>wide assortment of unlockable weapons and masks
>being an autist and collecting all the letters just gets you a “lol story isn’t important, sorry autist”

>HM2
>BIG FUCKING LEVELS WITH LAYERS UPON LAYERS OF GLASS THAT MAKE EACH RUN RELY ON RNG
>NO UNLOCKABLES
>META-NARRATIVE WHERE THE DEVS KILL THEIR FANS BECAUSE LOL FUCK YOU HOW DARE YOU MAKE US POPULAR
>YOU WANTED A GOOD GAME? FUCK YOU, HAVE A STORY NO ONE ASKED FOR
>still has great music

the controls aren't broken you're just shit

>Can't pick up weapons
>Was a little beta bitch when confronted against alpha man Manny
>Name is literally a cornflakes brand

>its pointless to try and stop getting buttfucked by communist oppressors

You would be wrong

Also this is the very best part and above all else in either game

>the sequel is its own different game instead of a dev copy and pasting the original but with more
wooooooooow

Git gud

>hating on HM2
Pay attention anons, this is classic re*dit.

It was an original and fresh concept in a market saturated with stale FPS games

>HM2
>good

SOMEBODY CALL AN AMBULANCE

Get gud.

id suck kylies ass

>you
>having good taste

as opposed to pardo
>notoriously incompetent detective
>mocked by police for being a generic serial killer
>barricades himself in his room for months after having a nightmare

Why didn't the fucking ass hole just use guns and aim for the legs?

>sequel ignores what made the first good for the most part
That’s a common trend, sadly.
>little user used up his weekly limit calling everything he doesn’t like reddit
Lmao

Hey, a man with such thick skin has his breaking points. Still, your favourite character is literally called Tony the Tigers frosted flakes.

>sequel ignores what made the first good for the most part
But HM2 did everything everyone loved about the first one but better
>hurr it's too hard
get good

>not just executing the first two enemies you see so you go full punished evan

>little user
>Lmao
You couldn't make it any more obvious that you're a newfriend.

pardo wishes he had a cereal mascot named after him.

How are the HM2 mods?

Not being able to play every map with any mask/character really hurts the fun tho

>Many Pardo
>incompetent
>THE Many Pardo
What the fuck are you saying? Pardo was so fucking good, only a combination of Batman, Sherlock Holmes and Nancy Drew could tackle the case of the Miami Mutilator (the most brilliant serial killer to ever live) and have HALF the chances of breaking it open like Many "Thick Skin, Thick Cock" Pardo.

Manny Pardo's Thick Skin Flakes?

Literally no one said “I love Hotline Miami for its story” because that’s the only thing that improved in any capacity for the sequel. Day one everyone fucking hated it except ebin meme pardoposters who just deflected criticism with their shitty memes and circlejerked about the plot and muh beard had a hard life

>newfriend
It’s newfag you autist.

Why would he need one when he's already a huge Cereal killer?

muscleman journalist evan exposed pardo as incompetent after their talk in the bar
pardo does everything he does for fame, everybody knows tony the tiger, who has heard of the miami mutilator? pardo eternally BTFO

still butthurt that Tony got his brains blown the fuck out by /bestboy/?

I had an idea for a Hotline Miami sequel the other day.

Call it Hotline Chicago and have it set in chicago during the late 20s or early 30s. You'd play as a random guy or assortment of random guys clearing out illegal bars, brothels, and casinos and so on. Instead of looking like a nightclub from Miami Vice, everything is art deco. The one thing that stumped me is what the music should be like.

Masks are overrated, they were either stupidly broken or fucking useless, not to say that the game couldn't be as cool without them, but in retrospective having Jacket be the guy of the masks makes him more unique on his own right.

Gameplay improved, graphics definitively improved, the OST is just as good but longer, it has more levels, more characters with their own gimmicks and a level editor (now).

If you honest to god think HM1 is better you are either a shitter or a contrarian.

I'll tell you what they did wrong, they didn't make any live action trailers for the game

Virgin Vigilante/Chad Enforcer meme when?

>tony dies because of pardo being jealous of his fame after BTFOing the russian mafia
>pardo dies cowering in his apartment after having a bad dream
keep making excuses pardofags

Goddamn HM2 got killer soundtracks.

Same about the gameplay tho. For one good level there's about five other horrible levels.

I liked the game but fuck hardmode

>gameplay improved
No
>graphics improved
No
>OST is just as good and longer
This is true
>More levels
More filler you mean with the shitty reporter, Jake, Beard, and the Henchman

HM1 is objectively a better game. It knows what it does best and sticks to it, doesn’t try this trash experimental shit and force story where there doesn’t need to be one.

I have zero room to talk because I played the first game pretty much only with Tony, but expanding on the concept by making the mechanics more meaningful on replay - that is, make it accessible only when you replay the map - would have been fun.
Though they should have fixed the goddamn doors first.

People may know Tony the tiger, but no one eats his shitty frosted flakes anymore. Also I almost forgot...

>Is a disgusting furry who belongs in a group of even more disgusting furry's

>get gud
>lol let's put all these enemies with guns completely offscreen even with zoom
>every level becomes a shit ton of dying over and over trying to find the next enemy to corner sniping

Boring bullshit game.

Both wrong

>I have shit taste

I literally cannot comprehend how does anyone think HM2 is better than the WASD+M1 fest that is HM1
Also
>graphics didn't improve
Did you even play the game? The last missions are fucking insane and shit like rain and fire looked cool as fuck.

Sounds like someone's got thin skin.

Sorry I posted the wrong picture.

>furries
dumb pardofag doesn't even understand the underlying message of the 50 blessings usage of masks, with each member channeling their inner animal, and that the fans are unknowingly following this concept as well in an admiration towards jacket instead of sexual degeneracy

The Son is the best character.

no shit. pardo is the toughest motherfucker in the series so the only person who can scare him is himself.
tony dies because he and his whole team couldn't handle the son while he was off his face on russian psychedelics so he ran away and hid instead of fighting.

Bought this game on sale and I'm enjoying it so far, I think the last level I played was hard & heavy, how many stages are left and what happened to the dudebro from the beginning

I'd say having to shoot blindly at points gives the game a good increased intensity to it. Also nearly every part that happens it's a narrow corridor where if you can't see the enemy through zoom you gotta shoot down there to make sure, hell this happened a couple of times in the first one too.

Why the FUCK did Jacket spare Richter in the first game?
>because he didn't technically do anything wr-
Neither did the entire building full of police officers he slaughtered to get to him.

youtube.com/watch?v=isrQVK2WVW0

Jacket realized richter was part of 50B, so he decided he was a fellow patriot and spared him.

>Neither did the entire building full of police officers he slaughtered to get to him.
you don't know that

Jacket tried strangling him, but is too stupid to realize that only doing it for a few seconds doesn't actually kill a person.

HM2 is absolutely better than HM1 and if you disagree you most likely fucking suck at it
The only levels the common meme complaints sorta-kinda apply to are some of the Pardo and Soldier levels, but even those are manageable if you git gud and don't play like a little bitch.
HM2 has a better engine, better music, more variety, higher difficulty, and a fucking level editor.

I miss pardoposting

We all do

I love Manny because he's just fucking nuts
I wish he had another real level

Man, they did not know what made the first game work at all.
The soundtrack did get better though.

No one is more Chad than The Son.
