I don't know if this has been discussed here but the wiki (spoilers ahead) seems to think the Duke Nukem looking mother fucker is the Colonel due to the fact their facial sprites are nearly the same, having the same nose and forehead wrinkles. Any thoughts? EDIT: I think not by the way because the mole on the Colonel's face is missing on Duke Nukem-looking guy but if you guys have thoughts I'd like to hear them.

It's seriously ridiculous how much of the plot is obscured by Dennaton reusing assets. I personally don't think the Fans are in the Hawaii bar, by the way.

Well if it were just a fat guy alone, or long-dark-haired girl alone, or bald guy and/or blonde girl alone then you might have a point. But they're all seated together, so it's either the fans or Dennaton are loving with us intentionally because they know all the characters look the same from an overhead view if they're wearing generic uniforms.

Look at the HLM Wiki page I linked to, they compare the two sprites and they're almost spot on. EDIT: Someone JUST removed the picture that shows the two having almost the same exact features, it's in the history being removed because "they simply used the same sprite for the two faces (thay did such a thing for a lot of characters)" Skunkrocker fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Mar 29, 2015 |

Waffle! posted:I don't see it. The mouth area's different on all three. Yeah, and the mole is missing, so... but it's pretty obviously one sprite edited into the other; the ear's the same, forehead is the same, nose is pretty much the same (the only difference is around the "edited" part, everything else is spot on)

Something kinda funny happened to me jsut now. I was playing Demolition to S rank it for one of the two last achievements I need to 100% HLM2. I respawned while being hit in the face. So I can't hit escape to exit out of the level, and need to restart the whole game.  Is there any way to make a .gif through Steam itsef, because it's kinda funny. Another Pardo thing I noticed: he keeps talking about "With all the press this is gonna get the chief's gonna be on me really hard! My job's going to be on the line! When the SWAT detective is more just disgusted with the killer himself. Cuntellectual fucked around with this message at 04:52 on Mar 29, 2015 |

Are there no ammo refill crates in hard mode Hawaii levels? I beat the second screen of Ambush with no ammo left. I couldn't find any ammo, so I went to the third screen. After dieing a lot, I accidentally aggroed the fat guy with a gun, but he emptied it into a corner. I killed the rest of the guys in the level, but there didn't seem to be any ammo there either.

DOWN JACKET FETISH posted:How in gods name are you supposed to do the third screen of The Abyss without using guns? The worst is the one guy halfway through the third screen who doesn't care that you just hit him with a thrown weapon. And if you get too close, he blasts you. It's 50/50 whether running into his aggro range will instantly kill you or let you kite him back around the corner. RNG to pass the level. It's bad.

Notice in the same video you linked that Dermott can't even hold a butterfly knife. Meanwhile, Jake is a master of the nunchaku. Besides, I like to think of Jake being "Bobby Hill on crank." I mean who else would have ninja skills and access to the parts and tools to create a portable nailgun? The Son of a Propane Salesman. Yeah.

Just take your time. If you play slowly and take your time and aren't worried about combos, there's only a few spots in various stages in the game that are still difficult, and none of them are on that level. The third floor is noticeably easy, probably on purpose. edit: I realize this came across like a 'get good' but really, just being patient and mindful of windows and stuff, and you can clear anything - there's really only a few spots where you have no choice but to handle 3+ guys, and fewer still where you have to do it without a corner.

Just belt through the bottom two floors as fast as you can and then take the third one as slow as all gently caress. You're doing this for the unlock, not the rating, so don't worry too much about it. The way I do it is I make sure that there are always a few AK looking guns lying around when the floors are cleared. They have a huge ammo capacity and their fire rate is managable. Get a full one, head to the third floor, climb the next set of stairs (As if you were ascending to the next floor) and hide around there. It acts as a blind corner for anyone coming in. Fire a shot or two to pull half the level through the door and gun them down as they come in. Head out a little further, fire a few more shots and retreat. When most of the floor is dead, you can do a VERY CAREFUL sweep through the last few rooms and clear out any enemies. For the dudes facing out the window in the top right, grab a shotgun, go all the way to the left, and just shoot until the ammo runs out. You'll knock the doors open and the pellets should kill them without giving them a chance to retaliate.

A nice way to cheese this is to take the nailgun but save it for the third floor. Just throw it in the stairwell and pick it back up when you move up a floor. There's more nails in the magazine then there are dudes on the third floor so it makes it trivial.

widespread posted:Always be Dallas. Yep, both times I did an Abyss run I used Dallas (first time I hosed up and didn't follow through with Evan). Feels good, man. But oy, that Abyss level. Funnily enough, someone was asking how you're supposed to beat it without going lethal, but I had the opposite problem. I did it nonlethal first for the achievement, and I intended to cut loose with a second run where I Hulk out. It was a lot more frustrating the second time and I just gave up. There are too many wide open areas and doorways, and if you fire a shot there's a good chance that five guys with guns are going to come from three different directions and kill you from off-screen.
