Uh has anyone else had an issue on PS4 where during the.. fourth? Room in the prison, where the inmates are enemies, you can just not walk through the door properly upon reviving after death, and the door will become unopenable? Like what are my options here. Keep restarting the mission from the beginning and hope I don't walk a little when I revive in that room? This issue might be enough for me to put the game down until a patch fixes this. Unless I am doing something really wrong.

Pretty much what the cheevo says. Just follow the tutorial prompts in the very beginning of the pilot to the letter and you'll get it. You might have to pick up/throw the hammer a few times before the swing prompt comes up, and the shotgun is the same color as the wall so I missed it on my first playthrough.

So... Was Pardo's whole thing that he was an actual serial killer, or that he is trying to gain a promotion by creating a notorious serial killer and then pinning them on someone so he take the credit for the arrest, or is he killing people for the Russian mob and making it look like serial killings? The second one is the only one that would explain him starting to mutilate the bodies to get the TV crews interested and planting the wallet on Ash, but I'm guessing it's the last one, since all his other killings are mafia, and he tries to go to talk to the Son at the end. The latter two are also the only ones that explain his hallucination of the killer calling him "father" and saying you "created" me, instead of just being him. Also... Who is the scary guy Biker claims to have met in the desert, after fleeing Miami?

Two that come to mind are the skateboard execution, which makes me cringe every time it happens, and literally ripping a guy's head off But the skateboard is only in one level as far as I know, and the head rip happens to a single, special enemy and also isn't real, in the context of the game. Compared to drill, pool cue executions, and anything involving a pot of water and a stove, I'm afraid 2 just doesn't have nearly the same depth of cruelty that the original had. e: I'm a big fan of that chain(?) execution, though. When I first saw that it got my hopes up that there was going to be a lot more fun new melee weapons to hurt people with, boy was I off the mark.

I thought about The Detective's story a bit and it makes some more sense to me now. He is the killer, and he's just doing it for the attention. He comments about all the 'crazy people'. He imagines film crews, and himself as a movie star. He tells Evan to write about the Miami Mutilator as it's a 'much more sophisticated case' and 'everyone will forget about those vigilantes'. He also has a personal grudge against Tony because he's an attention seeking killer... Just like he himself is. Lastly, even Richard questions why he does what he does, and it really isn't for any reason. Also he complains about the press a lot.  Also about the game's ending. The more I think about it the whole thing really is just the devs mocking the players huh. The Fans are the first to die after they get a bunch of plot threads that start that go absolutely nowhere and more characterization then the others but it doesn't matter. The "Hotline Miami 3" screen and newgame+ intro are "What, did you really expect a satisfying ending?". Richard mentions you won't like the twist at the end, and every character's arc ends with, well, that. widespread posted:I just beat that level, too. Was it No Mercy or Execution?

Im Australian, you know, the country that bloody banned the game? Devs told us to pirate it but I wish I didnt have to. I like supporting devs that entertain me and my personal opinion in pirating games is a dirty one. Each to their own of course but I just cant bring myself to do it. I guess this time round I have to bite the bullet and 'steal' the game. Really is a shame too. These devs really deserve my money unlike most games Ive purchased.

Yes, it's the rape scene that caused it apparently. Speaking of which the scene disappointed me. There basically is no point to it, despite what the Dennaton said prior to release. Maybe in a meta sense but still.

Not gonna lie the only way I beat it on hard mode was abusing the fact that you can open the door but stay outside the level to funnel enemies in slower and keep the big dude in the back.

Note that the characters all say their last lines before they die in the intro, and their corpses are the same as how they die in the game. Richter/Beard/Manny/Evan are skeletons due to nukes.

I guess, I just feel like promoting it as having more plot then cutting it off so much is a jab at people who were interested in the story more then the gameplay. Though I didn't mean JUST the fans portion was like that. Hotline Miami 3 at the end is both making fun of the player for wanting a satisfying ending, and also a genuine point that the level editor will let the player make the game how they feel it should be. As much as I personally dislike the ending I really respect how thematically appropriate it is. Cuntellectual fucked around with this message at 07:23 on Mar 12, 2015 |

drat, Hard Mode doesn't mess around. Is it weird that I'm sort of enjoying it a lot so far? I mean maybe I'll get to the levels that were tough in normal and I'll want to tap out, but this is pretty legit actually. I will say for all the complaints of the game, there is quite a lot of content available for those that enjoy it enough to keep going.
