Anal Surgery posted:One thing that has surprised me about both HLM games is that there's never a secret back doorway or hidden entrance on any of the levels. HLM1 had the mask in the secret sewer but I don't think HLM2 has anything outside the perimeter of levels. You'd think there'd be at least one just for kicks At one point during the development of 2, Corey (zebra mask) was able to enter the first floor of levels through any windows on the outer perimeter, allowing her to start levels in ways nobody else could. Sadly this was removed.

Master of Stealth posted:How does hard mode unlock? I finished the game and have As and Bs on most stages but whenever I try starting a new game from the menu I don't get any option, it just starts normal mode again. Touchscreen. Sometimes you have to touch a bit away from the target to lock on.

The first thing I did on Evan's first level was try to find a back entrance that wasn't directly through the Russian mob guy, mainly because I'd read about how the reporter was "non-violent" so I figured I'd play along. But when I couldn't find it I was kinda disappointed that they railroad you into beating him bloody and unconscious.

Hotline Miami 2 wasn't as good as the first but I don't think it's nearly as bad as a lot of people are claiming it is. I'd still consider it a great game. By the way, how many secrets and special things are there to find in HM2? HM1 had puzzle pieces and clues and secret endings. I'd like to see some of that in HM2.

Yeah, same here. I actually even enjoyed 'em, to be frank. I also didn't realize that Ash could pick up new guns until after finishing the game... I am not a clever man.

As the journalist get the disk from the evidence room for a bonus level - On one of journalist intros when his kids bedroom has all the toys, answer the phone to meet up with a special character. - Knock over all of the cartoon cut out boards on Homicide for a secret achievement

The next weapon you unlock though will be mega-useful for the next time you need to make that decision. e: My reasoning on the shotgun is that it can dispatch heavy enemies reliably in one click, whereas either the LMG or rifle may leave them wounded but still charging.

Thankfully the third floor is actually pretty easy, there are even 2 guys that permanently face windows looking out of the building until you go into their room. I'm sure it was made a bit easier than the other 2 floors on purpose just to prevent the bad kind of frustration given how easy dying is in this game.

The third floor is actually pretty classic HLM with mostly melee dudes and a couple gun guys to keep you on your toes, so just click fast and watch out for wanderers. Also make sure you actually click your mouse button during the following cutscene when Jake is left alone, otherwise you'll have wasted all that time for nothing!

Yahtzee's review of the game went up yesterday and his chief complaints are 1. Story is a convoluted mess that leaves you unsatisfied, exploring several different plot threads and then abruptly killing off all of them for no reason. 2. Glitchy game play, which he only brings up once. I gotta say... he's on the money. Those are the worst things about this game. Then he goes on to talk about some dumb furry poo poo.

I'm going to buy a more color accurate one for the cosplay I'm doing of Jacket. Not to mention the sleeves aren't real leather like an actual varsity jacket. After all, that looks a lot more like yellow sleeves/pockets than grey like Insert Coin has.

My current Jacket cosplay uses a game accurate white and yellow, but the letter is the wrong shape.  EDIT: Then again, my main reason for purchasing this is to do specifically Payday 2's version of Jacket.

It's actually pretty easy to do. Take an assault rifle up to the third floor. Fire it at the door, they will come rushing. Stand at an angle where they can't immediately see you. This will take care of 90% of the enemies, you just need to mop up the rest. Also Irving is the best mask to take because the nail gun is really useful in the first floor

Gonna hit up the gym today for the first time this year after a hiatus, put the soundtrack on my phone ready for action. The HLM1 soundtrack alone must have carried me through a hundred miles, and I like HLM2's music even more than the first games'.

He has a consistent list of likes and dislikes which means his reviews are at least somewhat consistent rather than just being gibberish, which puts him pretty much at the top of the games journalism shitpile.
