C'mon guys, the Russian mob den level is a different character. Not arbitrary rules. It isn't one of the Vigilantes or the psychos or the Detective. He's just a guy writing a book, he doesn't want to kill people, but if you do he starts to pretty much get bloodrage! Probably because he's getting into the character of the subject of his book. In the Vigilante missions, the Van ones. It isn't that you're taking the mask you are indeed taking that character in that situation.
Yo guys, you can get out of executions after the first punch with Evan with right click. Whole point of him being an ordinary dude that can lose his shit if you make him kill people.
About Brandon Lee. They were blanks, but what happened was one of the casings for the blanks got wedged into the chamber, and the blank behind it fired the casing like a bullet. Which killed him. It's why guns now in films have a special choke/barrel extension that makes that impossible. It's also why movie guns have smaller fire cones/sound quieter and they enhance them in post.
You actually can stop the beatdowns when you play as Evan, guys. Just push L2 to get off him. You can actually make it through all his levels without killing anyone. It's the better way to do it too since all his knock outs are much faster.
I was actually pretty impressed with how he was playing. I feel as if he's really one of the only ones who is actually good at video games (Matt is decent, Pat is ok, and Woolie...).
When you play as the Writer (Guy at Trial), he starts out with non-lethal mechanics. In the 'execution', you're not entirely getting locked in. To be non-lethal, you punch twice, then right click to get off of him. If you're a derp like Liam, you continue pummeling them. Once the Writer throws off his jacket, he plays just as lethal as everyone else. You get more points for staying non-lethal
The moment I saw Liam making poor Evan a bloodthirsty murder I cried a little inside. Evan(Orange jacket and green shirt guy with a sweet moustache) is a pacifist.
If people stopped and looked at their surroundings in this game they'd notice some pretty incredible things, like that the pig mans apartment is the same as Jackets in the first Hotline Miami. And that all the fans including the biker from the first game (Who's not dead, jacket only thought he killed him) are standing in front of the court house at 28:39. The cardboard cutouts are taken from Nuclear throne, there's even an achievement for shooting them all. There's plenty of things that go on in these games that partake in either telling what the fuck is going on and giving little shout-outs here and there to other titles as Devolver tends to do
Also that jake character is an unlockable that can be found dead in one of the later levels in the first game. Don't know why he got his own comic in the digital comic series though.
I feel that way with the ending to this game, I had to look up 3 forums to know what even went on at that last level, and that ending though holy shit I did not see that coming.
Teh BrownieMixx The thing that got me the most was that it was a straight up alter-verse sort of deal, strangely, in the same way that "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" went down. It's basically another world where the cold war continues and the Russians straight up try and take over America. Those people you kill? that's who you're basically killing the whole game, it leads up to something rather jarring at the end but I'll save the spoilers for those who are still stuck on the last two acts.
The fans are probably my favorites, especially the swan siblings with the two player thing going on, just wish I could've played them more than just the first half of the game.
The game doesn't lock you into the takedown with Evan, Liam. You just punch him two times and press b/circle. Evan is designed to be a non-lethal character, but if you don't want to do that, you just have to punch him more than two times in the takedown, and he now murders people and can use guns. I realize you would've already played it by now, but if for everyone watching, this hint's on me!
I'm calling you guys out as being too scurred to finish the whole game. Cowards! COWARDS! Seriously though a full playthrough would be sheer awesomeness.
It wasn't a real bullet that killed Lee. It was a dummy (made to look like a bullet) that was accidentally combined with a blank (doesn't look like a bullet, but has gun powder and simulates a bullet's discharge). The result was the wooden tip of the dummy bullet, fired by the charge (that should only be in a blank) hit Brandon Lee and killed him.
If I recall the report, it got lodged in the barrel when they were switching from the dummies to blanks, no one saw it, fire the blank, discharge shot the stuck dummy, Dead Brandon Lee.
30:45 "You're going down the twisted path and you can't stop it." Except for the fact that you totally can. Melee weapons are non-lethal, you can hit them twice and get back up. You even get an achievement for it if you clear his levels without a single kill.
To clarify the whole Brandon Lee getting shot bit: The scene called for dummy cartridges to be loaded into the gun. Dummy cartridges are basically cartridges that have their gun powder and primer removed. However, the film crew decided to make their own instead of buying professionally made cartridges, but in doing so removed the gunpowder, but not the primer. When these cartridges were test fired, the primer alone fired with enough force to lodge the bullet in the barrel, but apparently nobody noticed this. Later, the dummy cartridges were replaced with blanks because the scene called for the gun to actually be fired. So the blank cartridge fired and the gunpowder exploded with enough force to dislodge the previously stuck bullet. All in all, one of the most gigantic displays of incompetence in film history.
Man the fact that they don't know what the fuck they're doing, especially with the writer, REALLY bugs me. His entire thing is non-lethal, even with his finishers you just press the throw button and he climbs off of them. His entire deal is he's a writer looking to cover the Jacket story, there's no latent insanity or anything.
The writer guy doesn't have to kill his enemies when he's "executing" them. If you press execute again after punching them twice, he just leaves them unconscious on the ground.
YES YESYES YESYESYESYES OMGOMGOMG! please let them finish the whole game. i wanna see a full LP. *EDIT* i need it, cuz i cant finish this game, i suck too much.
Try running through door and back out and make sure you know how many dudes are on a level it goes a lot easier... Sorry I love this game just trying to help
best tip I can give is use guns to agro enemies and when they turn the corner quickly pop out and blast them This strat is absolutely necessary in Hard mode edit: just remembered with Ash&Alex this is a double good strat
Interesting note about the Tony mask in this. It's the one Jacket wore. Also the guy in the snake mask, Jake, is the corpse you find in Hotline Miami, making his segments a prequel.
Come on Woolie, don't roll with the urban legends of the Crow. A dry slug off an empty cartridge was jammed in the gun and when they loaded it with the blanks it fired it.
Also, regarding the journalist, there is a level later in the game that explains why it gives you the moral choice to either exit out or continue executing the guys before going into a blood-thirsty rage. It's a really well thought out little detail that's never properly explained but once you connect the dots, it's really satisfying.
For the mission "First Trial" you can mount the mobsters, just punch them twice and get off. When 1000 points pop up, get off otherwise you'll be trapped. It's the same button to get off as it is to get on, but I was playing on the computer so maybe it's different on ps4.
The Crow isn't even the best kind of live ammo chicainery. The final scene of Peter Jackson's "Meet the Feebles" has a character firing an M-60. They couldn't find blank ammunition so they just used live instead.
Ech, Liaaamm, you can get out of the peaceful guy's execution with right click. Right click after 2 hits! You knock em out! the idea behind him being able to go apeshit is that it's a moral choice. To get it over quick, right click! There you go! Little rhyme for you.
Brilliant marketing strategy: Get people to try to punch tigers and sharks in the face -> People lose their hands when sharks and tigers bite them off -> People can't play video games anymore -> People have to watch Super Best Friends Play video games because they can't themselves.
If they played the whole thing, it would need the Cryme Tyme label. Prison, gang wars, drug usage, bank robberies...coincidentally, that's when the game gets better.
I really like the second game, I really like how all the characters stories tie in together somehow. I haven't seen the whole game of the first Hotline Miami, though.
I just imagine a cave, and Australia is hiding inside it, and Devolver is trying to get it out of there. "It's okay buddy, I'm not going to hurt you." [Australia slowly starts to come out] "HAHAHAHAHA! Hotline Miami 2 Sexual Violence Spree!" [Australia hisses and flees into his cave of censorship]
When I was playing as the writer I didn't manage to get rage mode until the very last segment where you play as him, so I thought it was a special scene thing.
I wonder when Liam realised that you don't have to kill anyone in Evan's level. You break their guns, then punch them twice, and press the other button to leave them unconscious.
Aww they missed the little Easter egg outside the courthouse. You can see The Fans with signs (presumably with messages of support for Jacket, given how they idolize him) and Biker is even there, looking in on his old nemesis.
I am inexplicably really mad that it isn't immediately obvious to the three/four of you there that the nonlethal guy is unloading the guns and shit because he's not a crazed killer like all the other dudes. I AM totally impressed at how well you pull off aggressive play though.
The reason the trunk opens is because there's a scene later in the game where you can find somebody tied up in the back. Hinting that the cop is the Miami mutilator.
I don't know why but I could see the creator of Hotline Miami and Rockstar coming together to make one fucked up, violent, glorious acid trip of a game based on the Hotline Miami universe.
About Brandon Lee's death: A previous scene using the same gun had called for inert dummy cartridges fitted with bullets (but no powder or percussion primer) to be loaded in the revolver for a close-up scene; for film scenes which utilize a revolver (where the bullets are visible from the front) and do not require the gun to actually be fired, dummy cartridges provide the realistic appearance of actual rounds. Instead of purchasing commercial dummy cartridges, the film's prop crew created their own by pulling the bullets from live rounds, dumping the powder charge then reinserting the bullets. However, they unknowingly or unintentionally left the live percussion primer in place at the rear of the cartridge. At some point during filming the revolver was apparently discharged with one of these improperly-deactivated cartridges in the chamber, setting off the primer with enough force to drive the bullet partway into the barrel, where it became stuck (a condition known as a squib load). The prop crew either failed to notice this or failed to recognize the significance of this issue.
I get that I'm probably too late in saying this, but the writer (the guy who goes crazy and takes his coat off after two kills) has a play-style centred around non-lethal kills. That's why melee results in KOs and broken bones as opposed to blood and grey matter, and why he doesn't use guns or knives until the coat comes off. When you mount an enemy, you knock them out with two hits. Any more and you kill them. You can dismount at any point (right click on PC, and I'm assuming left trigger on Xbox/Playstation). It's actually really quick when you punch-mount-punch-punch-dismount, although it's best to take care with groups just in case. Granted, I can't blame you for not getting it right off the bat. I had to look it up, to be honest. It's very jarring in a Hotline Miami game to be left with a "thou shalt not kill" vibe twenty minutes in, especially when this game in particular has very different characters with very different, although still very lethal, abilities.
The gun incident in The Crow is more complicated than that. They had initially loaded the gun with dummy rounds, but in a previous filming of the scene, the dummy round got stuck in the chamber. For the next filming they used blanks, which have a live charge but no bullet. Unfortunately the live charge from the blank forced the previously loaded dummy round out of the gun as if it were an actual bullet.
Man, I really wish you guys did a full play through of 1 & 2. ...but hopefully only with two of the Super Best Friends. I don't really care who, but nobody really pays anything in the cut scenes when the whole group is together.
I love the foreshadowing, if yall never noticed, Richard foreshadows the death of the movie star, when Richard talks in the fans scene, well... If you haven't finished that part, just pay attention to the specific lines he says and who is wearing the mask when he says it.
It always stresses me out whenever people play the reporter. I've gotten a hang of him and learned how he works, but it stresses me out to see people who aren't sure how he works using him. It's particularly upsetting here where they're saying it doesn't work well with the gameflow. It works fine, it's just very confusing the first time you use him.
Isn't it amazing how everyone lost their shit about Hatred but the moment Hotline Miami 2 comes out....its all fine? Gotta love bandwagons. Gotta love em.
Its the power of his stand 「FART GAS」 Matt's stand allows him to travel through the vents to find where people are making videos for the channel. Then he assumes a drop-bear kata and replaces whoever was below him. Thus inserting himself into the video.

it's cute to see how little they know about anything

Not arbitrary rules. It isn't one of the Vigilantes or the psychos or the Detective.

In the Vigilante missions, the Van ones. It isn't that you're taking the mask you are indeed taking that character in that situation.
Dont forget that they mistook LETTERMAN for A BOSS FROM THE OLD GAME.
***** also known as jacket, hes the main guy from the first game
Yo guys, you can get out of executions after the first punch with Evan with right click. Whole point of him being an ordinary dude that can lose his shit if you make him kill people.
About Brandon Lee. They were blanks, but what happened was one of the casings for the blanks got wedged into the chamber, and the blank behind it fired the casing like a bullet. Which killed him.
It's why guns now in films have a special choke/barrel extension that makes that impossible. It's also why movie guns have smaller fire cones/sound quieter and they enhance them in post.
I always heard that the gunsmith was just pissed at him for buying the last bag of ring dings in the vending machine and decided he was going to pay.
You actually can stop the beatdowns when you play as Evan, guys. Just push L2 to get off him. You can actually make it through all his levels without killing anyone. It's the better way to do it too since all his knock outs are much faster.
he has a NAME?! i just call him the author!
MrLego3160 His name is Evan Wright
Indeed. You score much higher with unlethal style
It's pretty much the only way to get an A+. Plus, dismantling guns counts as an addition to your combo, getting you far more points.
*****
Cool.
Pat is actually in the game, that's why he's no talking
What I never realized is that Liam has long passed the Rising Superstar status. He's slowly trying to gain Senpai status at being a Gun Jumper.
I was actually pretty impressed with how he was playing. I feel as if he's really one of the only ones who is actually good at video games (Matt is decent, Pat is ok, and Woolie...).
DIO's Scary Monster and THE WORLD It's been a long time since Metroid Fusion. He's almost at puberty. ^wipes tear^
eelshark12345 Woolie knows a lot of shit tho. I was kinda impressed with the Mechwarrior 2 video.
Luckee Strikee True but that doesn't change the fact that he is blind.
jak2492 Yup, pretty radical, even though some aspects of it aren't super clear. Right now I just hope to see Bahamut and Alexander.
This game gave me an irrational fear of fat people and windows. 10/10
Don't forget dogs
And fat guys
Pro trick : watch movies at kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Harley Marco Yup, I've been using kaldrostream for years myself :)
16:05 Man i didn't knew Pat was in this game
It's so neat to know that you follow these guys, Venom.
probably because he was busy playing monster hunter
***** He's too tall. If it was Pat, he'd be swimming in the coffee cup.

THEY ARE GETTING ALL THE LORE WRONG AND IT'S TRIGGERING MY AUTISM
OH GOD I KNOW THAT FEEL
Come on guys, you gotta step it up. You gotta get that sick no death run going.
But yeah no Tony is the best god damn mask ever it's amazing.
Tony, Ash and Alex, Bear, the Son, the Writer. All dabes
CrankyConstruct I can't hear you over all of Corey's hype ass rolls!
so Tony>Tony+, gotcha
Mark tho.
I like him, but not the fact you have to start with the machine guns.
You don't see any Hawaiian shirts because the entire hotline Miami continuity takes place inside a Hawaiian shirt.
The moment I saw Liam making poor Evan a bloodthirsty murder I cried a little inside.
Evan(Orange jacket and green shirt guy with a sweet moustache) is a pacifist.

KewlKatzKlub I think Letter man (my name for Jacket) murdered him or he died later because those Janitors are fucking awesome.

Remember these guys aren't Maximillian. They have no self-respect so you can't call them out for being cowards.
Grimshuck Don't worry, I'm a coward too.
It says part one of two...maybe the power through it
They'd never get past scene 11
jv9ufxcy Fucking scene 11 made me want to punch kittens. Not even the powerplant level took me as long to get through.
They joked about Woolie killing a guy once but it was only to deflect attention away from Liam's actual passion for human blood.
It wasn't a real bullet that killed Lee. It was a dummy (made to look like a bullet) that was accidentally combined with a blank (doesn't look like a bullet, but has gun powder and simulates a bullet's discharge). The result was the wooden tip of the dummy bullet, fired by the charge (that should only be in a blank) hit Brandon Lee and killed him.
who`s lee?
Harou Mensah Son of Bruce Lee. They talked about him in the video.
Thanatos388 oh...ok?
If I recall the report, it got lodged in the barrel when they were switching from the dummies to blanks, no one saw it, fire the blank, discharge shot the stuck dummy, Dead Brandon Lee.
I also googled it and looked at the wiki
"Yo, murder is the same deal no matter how you do it."
I think I know why Liam was under house arrest now.
Jacket > The Fans
This is fact.
Helmet>Jacket
Obviously. Shame he isn't a playable character in this game.
You mean Biker
jwavs39 /Spoiler/ He is in the game though
FULL LP FULL LP FULL LP I SWEAR TO GOD YOU BETTER DO A FULL LP
It's refreshing how the guys playing this are a lot more competent than what I usually see in other Hotline Miami let's plays!
Considering the skill level of the best friends, if Liam isn't playing this, god help us.
Brandon Lee's ghost hangs so heavy over "The Crow", it makes the movie sadder than it ever could on its own.
Tony kills everyone with one hit with just his fist.
So basically One-Punch Man?
Beatie G yup pretty much
Gunjumper Liam.
He was born to play this game.
"leopard man"
Tony
Tiger
T
"Artificially Harder"
triggered.
>Pop culture references are an acceptable substitute for actual commentary
THIS IS WHAT MATT ACTUALLY BELIEVES
He also sleeps in an oxygen tent which he believes gives him SEXUAL POWERS!
Slap on a black and white filter, keep the red.
Put on the Madword ost
I would like this on DS please Nintendo
There's actually that exclusive with first Hotline Miami if you use Russell (Bull) mask
30:45
"You're going down the twisted path and you can't stop it."
Except for the fact that you totally can. Melee weapons are non-lethal, you can hit them twice and get back up. You even get an achievement for it if you clear his levels without a single kill.
Love you guys. Woolie, my heart goes out to you. Always! DREADS FOR LIFE!
To clarify the whole Brandon Lee getting shot bit: The scene called for dummy cartridges to be loaded into the gun. Dummy cartridges are basically cartridges that have their gun powder and primer removed.

So the blank cartridge fired and the gunpowder exploded with enough force to dislodge the previously stuck bullet.
All in all, one of the most gigantic displays of incompetence in film history.
Watching Liam play through Evan's stage rather poorly is a bit disappointing, honestly, otherwise Liam's surprisingly good at this game.
Man the fact that they don't know what the fuck they're doing, especially with the writer, REALLY bugs me. His entire thing is non-lethal, even with his finishers you just press the throw button and he climbs off of them.

*EDIT* i need it, cuz i cant finish this game, i suck too much.
Try running through door and back out and make sure you know how many dudes are on a level it goes a lot easier... Sorry I love this game just trying to help
damian x thats what ive been doing, but its just so boring. :/ i wish i could play like liam senpai.
Roman Kushniriuk hmm, that may not be a bad idea, but i feel like 1 of the 20 guys with guns would prolly wrek me b4 i get too far. idk, worth a try.
best tip I can give is use guns to agro enemies and when they turn the corner quickly pop out and blast them
This strat is absolutely necessary in Hard mode
edit: just remembered with Ash&Alex this is a double good strat
Pls.... with some practise u should finish it I believe
Just finished this game myself. It was absolutely mindblowing!
Awesome to see you guys doing this!
"This guy can roll"
COREY IS A GIRL GUYS
Interesting note about the Tony mask in this. It's the one Jacket wore. Also the guy in the snake mask, Jake, is the corpse you find in Hotline Miami, making his segments a prequel.
Come on Woolie, don't roll with the urban legends of the Crow. A dry slug off an empty cartridge was jammed in the gun and when they loaded it with the blanks it fired it.
If someone told me Corner Peek Simulator would make a good game I'd laugh, but now we have 2 Hotline Miami games and they are glorious.
As an Australian I am grateful for this LP
I like 2, but man I miss Jacket, Every protag in 2 talks way to much, give me my mute psycho back.
I have no insightful response to your comment, but your icon is amazing
Even in Payday 2, Jacket talks too much.
... Or rather, he has a tape recorder play too many voice clips.
I have to agree, I found myself skipping a lot because there were like seven characters talking at one point, and I just stopped caring.
***** It doesn't help that the timeline is out of order and the stories don't always connect to each other, with a silent protag that wouldn't matter.
If the original told a pretty great story without jumping around to a bunch of disposable, annoying characters... OH WAIT
rip legends, weird hearing Liam's voice
The nose punching is just a bundle of nerve endings that send a shock to their brain and disorient them no mind control powers.
Also, regarding the journalist, there is a level later in the game that explains why it gives you the moral choice to either exit out or continue executing the guys before going into a blood-thirsty rage. It's a really well thought out little detail that's never properly explained but once you connect the dots, it's really satisfying.
Jesus, Liam was so oblivious about how the writer works it was making me cry.
I can already hear Perturbator on the soundtrack for this game again and I am overjoyed.
Beginning: "Yeah guys lets go! AIGHT!!!"
End: "Fuck this...da fuck?
Everyone's like:
"Videogames?"
The sheer existence of Pardo made him a meme, we have reached the pinnacle.
this game hurts my eyes
but I can't stop watching yet
"Yo murder's the same deal no matter how you do it."
Damn, Liam's getting hardcore.
Damn, my ears perked right up when Perturbator kicked in during that second section.
This is basically the game Liam was born to play. It's Gunjumping: The Game.
For the mission "First Trial" you can mount the mobsters, just punch them twice and get off. When 1000 points pop up, get off otherwise you'll be trapped. It's the same button to get off as it is to get on, but I was playing on the computer so maybe it's different on ps4.
The Crow isn't even the best kind of live ammo chicainery. The final scene of Peter Jackson's "Meet the Feebles" has a character firing an M-60. They couldn't find blank ammunition so they just used live instead.
When Liam really goes for it, it's fucking beautiful.
I'm seriously jealous of how good Liam is at this game.
"Hey sharky sharky, can't you see?
Sometimes your nose-punches just hypnotize me!"
Liam's reflexes are pretty on point.
Ech, Liaaamm, you can get out of the peaceful guy's execution with right click. Right click after 2 hits! You knock em out! the idea behind him being able to go apeshit is that it's a moral choice. To get it over quick, right click! There you go! Little rhyme for you.
Brilliant marketing strategy: Get people to try to punch tigers and sharks in the face -> People lose their hands when sharks and tigers bite them off -> People can't play video games anymore -> People have to watch Super Best Friends Play video games because they can't themselves.
Does this counts as Cryme Tyme?
Nah, it's not hood enough.
Lina Ínverse yea, it's not Hotline Overtown
sebastian feijoo No crimes here... only murder.
If they played the whole thing, it would need the Cryme Tyme label. Prison, gang wars, drug usage, bank robberies...coincidentally, that's when the game gets better.
I love how Richard is mentioning a Twist and not many people liking it foreshadowing to how Bleak the ending is
I really like the second game, I really like how all the characters stories tie in together somehow. I haven't seen the whole game of the first Hotline Miami, though.
I just imagine a cave, and Australia is hiding inside it, and Devolver is trying to get it out of there.
"It's okay buddy, I'm not going to hurt you."
[Australia slowly starts to come out]
"HAHAHAHAHA! Hotline Miami 2 Sexual Violence Spree!"
[Australia hisses and flees into his cave of censorship]
I like that Evan can go through the whole game without killing.
This game's plot demands contemplation. Woah what the hell, Woolie? Stop contemplating!
When I was playing as the writer I didn't manage to get rage mode until the very last segment where you play as him, so I thought it was a special scene thing.
46:45
gotta love Matt's astuteness with the Linkin Park lyrics hahah
The idea of the Tony mask is that it once belonged to Jacket and the Fan found it... somehow. Which indicates why it has seen particularly heavy use.
Live in Florida, can confirm that you can hear the shirts of Miamians from 3 miles away. You have to actively hide from the flowers.
I wonder when Liam realised that you don't have to kill anyone in Evan's level. You break their guns, then punch them twice, and press the other button to leave them unconscious.
As an Australian I can confirm that punching a shark on the nose DOES NOTHING
Truly, we are the Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number
Aww they missed the little Easter egg outside the courthouse. You can see The Fans with signs (presumably with messages of support for Jacket, given how they idolize him) and Biker is even there, looking in on his old nemesis.
"Purple blips in the first game give you masks"
UM.
UM. MASKS GIVE YOU MASKS. PUZZLE PIECES ARE ANOTHER THING ALTOGETHER.
I am inexplicably really mad that it isn't immediately obvious to the three/four of you there that the nonlethal guy is unloading the guns and shit because he's not a crazed killer like all the other dudes.
I AM totally impressed at how well you pull off aggressive play though.
The reason the trunk opens is because there's a scene later in the game where you can find somebody tied up in the back. Hinting that the cop is the Miami mutilator.
Also when I first heard the song where the writer and the detective are talking, It made me tear up.
I don't know why but I could see the creator of Hotline Miami and Rockstar coming together to make one fucked up, violent, glorious acid trip of a game based on the Hotline Miami universe.
"They weren't blanks in the bullet, they were gun." For fuck sake Woolie you are my favourite fucker on TH-cam.
We have now entered the Platinum Age of LPs.
Im glad that Liam can actually play the game pretty good.
About Brandon Lee's death:
A previous scene using the same gun had called for inert dummy cartridges fitted with bullets (but no powder or percussion primer) to be loaded in the revolver for a close-up scene; for film scenes which utilize a revolver (where the bullets are visible from the front) and do not require the gun to actually be fired, dummy cartridges provide the realistic appearance of actual rounds. Instead of purchasing commercial dummy cartridges, the film's prop crew created their own by pulling the bullets from live rounds, dumping the powder charge then reinserting the bullets. However, they unknowingly or unintentionally left the live percussion primer in place at the rear of the cartridge. At some point during filming the revolver was apparently discharged with one of these improperly-deactivated cartridges in the chamber, setting off the primer with enough force to drive the bullet partway into the barrel, where it became stuck (a condition known as a squib load). The prop crew either failed to notice this or failed to recognize the significance of this issue.
YEEEESSSS this game is so good , i just finish it and begin the hard mode ( this mode is hardcore as hell )
Bosco Baracus It's fucking amazing isn't it.
64manxman yeah totally but damn a lot of window
There's a "hard mode"?! What does it do, make you just die whenever you see an enemy?
TheNobod3 The level is flipped around (literally, they're all reversed), there are new enemy placements, less ammo for guns and no lock on.
And a new intro but this mode is a pain in the ass , the enemy are like robocop
I get that I'm probably too late in saying this, but the writer (the guy who goes crazy and takes his coat off after two kills) has a play-style centred around non-lethal kills. That's why melee results in KOs and broken bones as opposed to blood and grey matter, and why he doesn't use guns or knives until the coat comes off.
When you mount an enemy, you knock them out with two hits. Any more and you kill them. You can dismount at any point (right click on PC, and I'm assuming left trigger on Xbox/Playstation). It's actually really quick when you punch-mount-punch-punch-dismount, although it's best to take care with groups just in case.
Granted, I can't blame you for not getting it right off the bat. I had to look it up, to be honest. It's very jarring in a Hotline Miami game to be left with a "thou shalt not kill" vibe twenty minutes in, especially when this game in particular has very different characters with very different, although still very lethal, abilities.
Im soo hype for the Live action Hotline Mami movie staring Channing Tatum!!!!
The gun incident in The Crow is more complicated than that. They had initially loaded the gun with dummy rounds, but in a previous filming of the scene, the dummy round got stuck in the chamber. For the next filming they used blanks, which have a live charge but no bullet. Unfortunately the live charge from the blank forced the previously loaded dummy round out of the gun as if it were an actual bullet.
Man, I really wish you guys did a full play through of 1 & 2.
...but hopefully only with two of the Super Best Friends. I don't really care who, but nobody really pays anything in the cut scenes when the whole group is together.
YOU CAN PRESS O TO DISMOUNT WHEN YOU'RE ON AN ENEMY.
When you're playing as the writer you don't have to kill a single person.
I love the foreshadowing, if yall never noticed, Richard foreshadows the death of the movie star, when Richard talks in the fans scene, well... If you haven't finished that part, just pay attention to the specific lines he says and who is wearing the mask when he says it.
You guys should defiantly play more of this
It always stresses me out whenever people play the reporter. I've gotten a hang of him and learned how he works, but it stresses me out to see people who aren't sure how he works using him. It's particularly upsetting here where they're saying it doesn't work well with the gameflow. It works fine, it's just very confusing the first time you use him.
Isn't it amazing how everyone lost their shit about Hatred but the moment Hotline Miami 2 comes out....its all fine? Gotta love bandwagons. Gotta love em.
shooterb0y23 Good job missing the point
shooterb0y23 People did freak out about Hotline Miami 2, it got banned in Target Australia
you really have no idea what bandwagons are referring to, do you?
Rekt by the scrubs
TheSw1tcher I'm not referring to you guys I'm referring to the shitstorm that game got for being violent. Also what is the point by the way?
why is matt in everything now.
It's pretty much his channel so why not?
he's the O.G.
Its the power of his stand 「FART GAS」
Matt's stand allows him to travel through the vents to find where people are making videos for the channel. Then he assumes a drop-bear kata and replaces whoever was below him. Thus inserting himself into the video.
You all bit the bait.
TacoKhan Because he loves it.
New respect for Liam as the God of Destruction or low-tier, naked cat god from that DBZ movie we don't talk about.
This game is the hypest shit and man that soundtrack...
