Got all achievements in HM2... except "achievement whore", where you need to get all other achievements. Is it the steam problem? Or maybe it's something wrong with my HM2 files?

i need hot and heavy, deadline (A+)
any help?
i use carl and brandon

I finished both games in a few days a couple months ago and I liked the pixel art. Being a pixel artist myself I figured I may as well try and replicate the art style as practice. Any and all criticism is welcome. Feel free to ask questions about the guy.

Any tips for a noob? I keep getting stuck or losing an almost perfect run through a level to one thing. Any general tips to git gud?

One thing I’ve noticed is that sometimes enemies don’t follow the same route, what causes this? Is there a certain distance they can hear attacks at?

He said he can’t go cause of his skin care routine and Hotline Miami and he said to convince him he needs 20 people to say he has to go.

IM ON DEAD AHEAD FINAL ACT AND I WAS JUST ONR LITTLE FUCKING KILL AWAY FROM BEING DONE AND YKW THE GAME FUCKING CRASHED. I HAVE TO DO THIS SHIT ALL THE FUCK OVER. AGAIN.

edit 2: i get it, it's easy to you, you're not cool

I’m a little late to the wrapped train

I think jacket should be in fortnite

I believe that even though everybody dies, and there is horrible murder and hubris, Hotline Miami 2 is ultimately about healing and closure. The characters who don’t find closure for themselves are the ones that are too consumed by their hatred or greed (the fans, the son, Manny Pardo, Martin Brown.) Characters like Jacket, Richter, and Evan all have fulfillment arcs, and can make relative peace with their end.

The menu theme itself is very slow, calm and soothing. Even in hard mode with the ruins of the city in the background, there’s a sense that the struggle is over. It could be a suggestion that death can be peaceful, “”Leaving this world is not as scary as it sounds.” But, I’m not qualified to say for sure.

Jacket at the end of HM1 has given up his fight and surrenders. In this moment looking over the balcony, he feels an incredible weight off his shoulders. Life in prison, even capital punishment is less painful than hallucinating corpses from a guilt induced PTSD. He simply sits through his trial, through the process of arrest, he doesn’t say a word. At the end of HM2, we see him squeezing a stress ball, he is simply sitting in bed and with death waiting for him. In the end, he is happier and more stable in prison than he was out on his own, no longer tormented by the Russian occupation and the murder of his friend.

Evan is a character that clearly holds compassion and morality. He wanted to call an ambulance for the man he killed, he was going to give money to a homeless man, he flew Richter’s mother to Hawaii at his own expense. Even if helping Richter benefited him, he makes a lot of sacrifices. It seems he is always sacrificing something, and his final presented decision is no different. The options to continue writing or to call his wife both make sense, but I believe for the sake of the game’s theme, Evan really chose his family. He would sacrifice all of his hard work for the sake of his family.

Richter did everything he could for his mom. He fought his way through the threats of 50 blessings, survived a violent prison escape, and evacuated his mother to Hawaii with him. He put so much effort into these endeavors, but it all comes crashing down with the nuclear bomb anyway. He does not seem bitter about this. He seems content that he has done all that he can, and there is nothing left to do or fight. This sentiment reflects the fact that Hotline Miami 2 is the final game, and will be the final piece of the story. It begs the question to the viewer: what is left to say?

It’s a beautiful game and message, really. I’m happy I played it.

i recently started playing hotline miami and i was just using the richard mask because i didn’t know the other masks have abilities until i used one of the masks that make you run faster, anyway to the point. my first run the store clerk and the pizza boy were both alive, my second run when i was only using the owl mask for secrets i might’ve missed, the store clerk was dead, the pizza boy was dead, and eventually one of the big black dudes who i killed was in my apartment with a gauged eyeball… why is that???

hey guys, would it be appropriate for somebody to have their own interpretation of what happens in the games? I understand that there is story and I LOVE IT ACRHALLY, but i always come back to myself interpreting what happened. am I wrong for this?

edit: my bad damn

I've just bought it and in order to play my PC says I need to install ".NET Framework 3.5". Yet whenever I try to install it, it either gets stuck on "searching for files", or like less than a tenth of the way into "downloading required files".

Can someone please help me?

PLEASE is there any faster way to draw reskins or does it just inherently fucking suck like that

like i have to completely redraw and recolor one trillion sprites AND make the end result look good??? no wonder we arent getting hlm3 dennis is still making spritesheets on god

Yea

Pretty much just the title. I'm going to beat hard mode regardless and want to know if I should actually pay attention to the story bits or if I can just skip them. Thanks!
