I've played this for about 45 minutes and as far as I can tell this game is literally Hotline Miami 2. That's a really stupid statement I know, but honestly how much you hated/liked/loved the first one will directly translate into Wrong Number.

Yeesh, I was worried about this after going back and playing HM1's updated version and comparing it to the original. For some reason, the default sensitivity in the updated engine is either slower or has some mouse acceleration goin' on, and googling it pulled up basically nothing beyond a couple other posts complaining about the same thing.

Unless they've added an option in the launcher or in a config file, I guess you could try adjusting your mouse's overall sensitivity OS-side?

There's an option in the main menu for it. I can actually hurt people now.

Love the music for the Russian hitman's garage job. The slower track really made it feel more... I don't know. Mournful?

But seriously, if you want indie games (or niche, really Japanese games) on the go, the Vita is the undisputed champion, so long as you buy a big enough memory card.

I only played HM1 on the Vita and you couldn't convince me to want to play it with a keyboard and mouse. Its absolute perfection on Vita.

You can kill people with him.


If you really can't figure out how, Preform two executions after punching an enemy, or use a bladed weapon.

Does that actually work? I couldn't pick up bladed weapons when playing as him, but I've only done one mission with him so maybe that's why.

Mashing RMB after mounting someone for an execute works, though.

It's possible the latter one was changed. You should be able to use them and guns though after the first method.

So, I've got Xbox prompts even though I have no controller plugged in. I figured I'd I plug one in and just use it, but it doesn't work no matter what I try. So I tried using Keyboard and mouse and just deal with the Xbox prompts, but with it thinking I have a controller plugged in it thinks I'm always holding "look" down so my character is always off screen.

Definitely seems changed. When I did the first mission with the journalist, I couldn't pick up bladed weapons or do anything with guns except play an animation where he unloads and dismantles it. Could only use fists and blunt weapons, even after doing an actual kill with an execute.

Which honestly is the one thing I don't like about HLM 2 so far. He obviously doesn't have a problem with killing, so why the restrictions? Either all non-lethal or let me use everything. Half way doesn't make sense.

Played for about an hour and a half, and yes, this game is more of the first, but with a few interesting gimmicks for each character. I don't see myself using Tony much, as a lot of these levels seem packed with gun guys that it's harder to melee. I could see this becoming a problem with the Journalist later, but so far it hasn't been one.

Oh, All-Knowing One, behold me!
The one feature I was really hoping to see and am sorely missing is that I was hoping the detection for picking up weapons would be improved so when there's two or more weapons near each other, it's less of a crapshoot that you get the one you actually want. It's not a big deal because lord knows I got used to it in the first game, but I was hoping maybe they'd touch that up a bit.

Game still owns bones though.

I actually liked mouse and keyboard a lot more in HM1, but I'm tempted to get PS4/Vita just for portability. Are both control schemes the same as in HM1?

Have you tried restarting Steam and your PC? That has usually helped me when I've occasionally had that problem.

So PS4 version is still not out? I'm still holding out, trying to decide between PC and PS4.

Yep, someone screwed up when making the Steam package. Both the OST and the Remix EP are there in both MP3 and FLAC without buying the soundtrack separately.

Went home on my lunch break and downloaded the game, I only have the remix EP, not the full game. Did you get the collector's edition or whatever? (Isn't the remix EP supposed to be unique to the special ultimate edition? I have the regular edition... because I bought the Vinyl collector's edition. None of this makes sense. Whatever)

Whatever though, have the game!

Holy poo poo that pause screen :stare:

Uhhhhh my aim controls were working at first but now the dude refuses to look any direction other than the one he's currently locked in. This game needs some patches.

Apply changes on the graphics menu does nothing. Stuck at 1440 even though native is 1920. Comeon game.

I only played them for a moment so far but I feel like they are going to be the 'hard mode' and/or the 'look at this insane video of a full combo perfect run with alex and ash' sort of thing. For extreme gamerz only.

e: bear guy's special ability (akimbo uzis) seems similarly hard to use effectively. but i'm more than happy to punch everything to death for the entire game.

Maaan why did they change the shift-look mechanic? It used to basically just decouple the camera from your character - now it zips the screen all the way in the direction your mouse is pointing. It basically means you can't react quickly as you can't have the camera hovering around your character if you're holding shift.
