Did I say a lot?
I meant TONS of damage!

Hmm, as you get more efficient at this game, your score will go down since you get points when enemies spot you and react to you, and when you're killing everyone before they can react that's not happening.

I'm still missing Carl and what appears to be some sort of gator after playing through twice. Anyone know what missions these show up on or if there are special conditions to get them?

Carl is in Push It, right on the corpse on the disco floor at the beginning.

I beat the last boss by spamming a , d and lmb to vibrate the hyenas to death, then the girl you can throw the trophy at her and she goes down instantly, then its just a matter of throwing the three knives that are right next to the boss

Also, for the boss dude if you stand right next to him, his gun barrels are on the other side of your body, and he won't hit you. Just chuck the trophy at the girl so her knives are next to the boss, run right up to him, then wait for a reload to grab a knife and run back. Just be sure to wait for a reload and move a bit away before hitting him with the second knife, or when he shoots himself he'll hit you too!

Game was running fine until chapter 3 and now every time I try to go upstairs I get stuck on the stairs and then the game locks up. Probably going to try and play more tomorrow, really liked what I played before I ran into this issue.

Ran into an odd little glitch (well, probably more of an oversight, really, considering the circumstances) in Assault. Namely, if you're using a knife (by using Dennis), police officers leave Russian corpses. Then again, considering the game, maybe it's intentional!

No offence, but how could ANYONE have trouble with the van? It's like 4 dudes. It's almost pathetically easy compared to the other bosses. Motorcycle Mystery Man was way harder.

I thought that other boss was a lot easier, actually Although I never fought him until starting my second playthrough. I just don't think it's a well-designed fight. You can get screwed over by random weapon drops too easily there. My second time through, I knew to bring a pump shotgun with me. Then again, I just had foot surgery yesterday, so I could be talking out my rear end, though

Are events supposed to change on a second playthrough? I had the police raid during chapter 10, I think. I also never had the motorcycle dude fight open up until later as well

Nah, you don't even need to do that. The first guy drops a pump anyway so as long as you got a quick finger you'll be good and ready for the bruiser.

They really need to put in per-mask high scores. Once you get Carl... oh my...

That said, dogs are a hell of a lot harder when you can't punch them in the face!

It's a bitch when there are multiple dogs and you got a bruiser rounding the corner and no shotgun in sight. Makes you feel like a bad rear end when you figure it out, though.

Game owns. Luckily I had none of the bug problems people were reporting. Coolest thing I figured out was if you knock a dude on the ground then go to jump on him with a gun equipped you'll actually take him hostage and he'll absorb a shot for you. Cool!

You can kinda snipe the first one, the second one you need to move in and rush.

You just have to goad them, or fire and hope. They aren't as hard to take out as they look, just fire and slide back into cover and wait. If they fire, pop out and shoot as soon as the bullets pass.

Once you get the timing it is like riding a bike.

I thought I tried that but I guess I just needed to try it harder! I love the weird booby-trapped room in that level, by the way -- not really sure if I'll ever get an explanation but whatever was going on in there was definitely unsettling

Tips: You can kind of tell if you look that they're lying down behind the cover. At the sight of you they get up to shoot and become vulnerable. I normally take out the far guy first as you can do that without alerting the close one.

So is the Earl mask just broken, or what? I still seem to die from one bullet. Or maybe it's due to burst firing, I never take just one bullet. Either way, it seems to do nothing.

My Rami mask just broke too. It gave me extra ammo for a few levels but right now when I most need it (Assault) it doesn't do poo poo. The game is generally a pretty buggy mess. I bought it from GOG.com and every other level I get error message popups and it's crashed on me twice today already.

EDIT: also gently caress the fat guys who are seemingly immune to melee. Cool stuff forcing the player to gunfights.

Why is Carl considered so good? You can't kill dogs with the drill, so I kinda wrote it off as useless.

I'm probably missing some other benefit because I have a serious lack of awareness, but lobotomizing dudes with the drill nets you a pretty penny score-wise, and at the end of the chapter every kill with the drill gets you an execution bonus. If you're shooting for good grades in Psychotic Murder School then Carl is an easy way to get them.

The drill is a penalty, since you're basically unarmed with something you can bean people with at the cost of longer execution. For this you get 5k points every time you drill somebody. You kind of have to choose when you drill people and when you pick up a pipe to weed out a mob or slap a dog.

They said the title was some sort of secret related to future games, so it probably doesn't actually say 'hotline miami'.

This is the only thing I hope they fix soon. Later levels become a battle of attrition and having shots and weapons phase right through the last enemy of a level is soul crushing.

The doctor in the windowed room always spots me because hey, I've just spent the last two hours playing a ridiculously brutal murderfest and now it's suddenly Metal Gear Solid: Miami and I'm having a little trouble adjusting .

I like it narrative wise, but I'm probably never going to play that stage ever again. A stealth section is bad enough, but the screen flips out and your character stops every 5 seconds.

They won't see you when their back is turned so just make a dash after he walks by the room. The two police officers are in sync with their animation so if one is reading the paper, the other is too.
