I liked the second one just as much as the first one. I don't mind that the combat was ranged focused this time around.

But still, the writer was my fav character. I love how he emptied any weapon on pickup.

I doubt that I will pick it up again once the editor is out.

HM2 was pretty shitty compared to the first one.

being forced to kite enemies all the time was just not fun at all, probably only level done right was the apartment level.

Loved the first, patient master race on the second and it looked to not be as good, so didn't buy it.

I wonder if, with the editor, we will get a set of "rewritten" levels to accomodate this issue.

I was doubtful of Hotline Miami being any good from the looks of it but after seeing more gameplay its got me interesting. I am thinking of going straight to HM 2, will I be missing anything significant?

>>15694

Got me interested*

Sleep deprivation really messes up my spelling.

>>15694

You will be missing the significantly better game. Play the first.

>>15696

Allright I'll play both.

Reskinning characters sometimes is quite annoying, but hopefully worth

>Thinking the level editor will be anything more than a level editor

Oh anon

HM2 has more intense level design, but much like Doom 2 it misses the main gameplay point of the original: too much open space, which forces player to use corner traps.

Too bad they messed up the unlockables. (e.g. some you can't use some weapons or masks on some levels)

First HM feels better.

Have a look at this, seems interesting

That song always creeped me out.

Well it is possible, you just can't do it right off the Editor because of the copyright issues. I'm sure someone will mod the editor around so much it's possible to have any character go against anyone and whatever music you want for levels.

>>16699

Custom music and graphics is already possible, by editing the .wad file. Replacements, but better than nothing.

>>16701

If HM2 has robust engine, it will get the living crap modded out of it. This is reason enough to obtain it legally when the editor is out.

>>16703

As fart as I saw, many of the bugs are fixed. We need to see if the editor update will create new ones.

Have you already read the Dennaton blog post about the level editor?

So I played the first HM and now I am playing the second one. I've been really enjoying these games so far, they've been really good so far, seems I was utterly wrong when I thought these games weren't good because they're very enjoyable.

So far I am liking the second game compared to the first because you have different play styles which force you to play in a different way compared to the first where I only used Brandon's mask since most of the other masks were pretty filler. Good to know that the second one has a hard mode because the first one was way too easy.

I think the only problem I kind of had with the second one was it being more ranged. The first game's levels had been made a lot more "tighter" and allowed much more better melee combat while the second game's levels were a lot more open and focused on getting rid of enemies from a further distance and relied on baiting the enemies towards you to kill them (Which I found to be quite fun).

Overall though I am liking the Second game a bit more than the first. The soundtrack is really good as well, especially Roller Mobster.
