Welcome to Miami, where you answer weird phone calls, put a mask on and go kill people.

IMPORTANT

  • Be respectful of others. This subreddit abides by the same principles set forth by Reddit's official community standards, and the community and moderation team alike are responsible for and expected to uphold and enforce these notions of common courtesy and respect.

  • Shitposts, poorly-made memes, and low-effort posts in general will be removed. This includes Achievement-posting and stolen artwork It is up to the moderation team's discretion what constitutes any of these. If you feel something has been unfairly removed, feel free to dispute it by messaging the moderation team in a respectful and courteous manner. These posts belong to r/gottagetagrip, not here. Posts simply showcasing a score screen at the end of a level regardless of grade or score will be removed unless they offer anything interesting, again this is up to moderation team what constitutes as such.

  • Being a dick to anyone (personal attacks, ad hominems, direct insults) will result in the offending posts being removed. Repeat offences will result in an investigation and possible ban depending on the nature of the offence.

  • Use the link flair corresponding to your submission.

  • Do not post your Hotline Miami-themed Discord server unless it was made with the sole purpose of discussing a certain aspect about the game (such as story, level design, modding, role-playing, etc.) Here is a link to the subreddit's official Discord

  • For simple questions that have simple answers (for example, how to get an A+ on a certain level, or a particular achievement), please take the time to utilise the search function in the subreddit, or check the wiki. Chances are it has already been answered multiple times, and asking it again is not only a waste of people's time, but it clogs up the subreddit.

  • Let's Plays with interesting content (record-breaking speedruns, unique playstyles, or Iron Man runs, for example) are now allowed. For playthroughs of custom levels, please post them in the comment section of the original level, and notify the creator of the map. Please do not post a first time playthrough, as it will not only likely not be too well-received, but also clog up the subreddit. This isn't YouTube, and we're not responsible for boosting your view count. Posts simply displaying a full combo are not allowed, as well.

  • Live in Australia? Pirate the game. There is no other valid answer to this question. Do not give money to any third-party website for a key, the developers will not receive any money for their work and you will very likely be scammed. Do not provide anyone your documents to prove that you are Australian, this is a myth that comes from a misunderstanding regarding how to get Jacket as a playable character in PAYDAY 2 and giving people access to your documents is how identity theft happens. Just pirate the game.

THE ZEBRA-MAN: References to Hotline Miami everywhere!

Hi everyone! Some years ago I started a project based in Hotline Miami, shared it here and overall received great feedback! Today, the project's finally done and uploaded to Steam!

The game has not only a similar gameplay but also lots of references to Hotline Miami! So here's launch trailer just in case you'd like to check it out, thanks for your time! :D

Ryan Gosling's Jacket.

I know the game was partially inspired by Drive. I also know the jacket appears later on. Just wanted to share it with someone

It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. (Terminator Manny Pardo)

And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

So pick up that phone and get busy with it!

What do you think "Hotline miami theme-Benny Smiles" means?

I mean, it's called like the game. Either it is a song so generic that it has no name and it is just the hotline miami song, or it is THE hotline miami song

Based on another post… what does JACKET smell like?

I can easily imagine what the other characters prolly smell like, but for some reason I can’t put a smell on Jacket. Blood, I guess? That would make the most sense but imo it’s kind of boring of an answer and a bit too simple, like I can’t imagine him smelling like blood on his average day to day

I bought hotline miami 2 almost 3 years ago and im just now playing it

I bought hlm2 for the payday 2 dlc and like a complete moron didnt play it. Now, almost 3 years later, i finally found the game in my library and downloaded it. Wow i was missing out. I binged the game all night and im almost done with it, and now im going rabid over the chicken man mysteriously appearing at odd moments. The voices are telling me to by hlm1, do i listen?
