[J-Roderton]

Excellent. I'd play this on Switch. Awesome games.

 

[Thabass]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

First one was ok. great music
Second one tried too hard to have a story and it was trash

Worth it if it is under 6 bucks

 

[ThatStupidLion]

never played 2, might double dip just to experience 1's soundtrack . playing two would be a bonus. switch is a perfect place for this game. played 1 on the vita and it was magnifique

 

[shaddam]

Do you like hurting other people?

 

[psygn0sis]

Two of the best indie games ever made, HM2 is probably my favourite indie of this gen

 

[DESTROYA]

Eshop only?
Any chance we get a physical release? I try to go physical whenever possible.

 

[Mista]

Do you like hurting other people?

Yes. You?

 

[stranno]

If you like Hotline Miami series you should also chek Mr. Shifty, also available on Switch. It is shorter, way easier and the story is not nearly as obscure but gameplay is really cool. It is the Jumper videogame properly done.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Lisa trilogy on the Switch when

Hahaha no I'll stick with the Vita version. Nice try Nintendo!

 

[Ban Puncher]

Available on the Australian eShop too.

Only it shouldn't be because Hotline Miami 2 was refused classification and banned.

Get on it before someone gets into the office in the morning and realises the mistake.

Can't you just switch regions and buy it there?

Of course but having it on your primary Aussie account is convenient. Plus you get to thumb your nose at THE MAN.

Exactly my view on this..

 

[J-Roderton]

For such a simple game it's replayable as hell.

 

[KormaChameleon]

>tfw no Hotline Miami 3.

Have been playing this all afternoon, such a great, satisfying game. Epic art and music. Super addictive gameplay.

First time? HM is such a satisfying game indeed. From art, music to gameplay.

 

[angelic]

Lets not do this "2 was no good" nonsense. It was. It was harder, but still great. And the story is incredible.

I did play it back in the day, loved it but didn’t finish it. That’ll change with Switch! Timing was spot on each year we tour wine yards for a week with friends, and I always seem to be playing an indie game. Last year was Hollow Knight.

Have fun in both your tour and HM

 

[Deleted member 738976]

Well I'll admit I'd want to try them after it showed up in Travis Strikes Again.

 

[Inanilmaz]

My favorite Indie

Nah it was garbage.

 

[angelic]

Your loss

 

[Stiflers Mom]

I wouldn't say "garbage" but it definitely didn't click with me like the first one did..

 

[Mendacan]

Never played the 2nd one. Is it worth it?

 

[J-Roderton]

Never played the 2nd one. Is it worth it?

Eh. Not really.

 

[angelic]

For christs sake.

Yes, play 2. It has the greatest soundtrack in gaming history, and I'm not even joking.

 

[lem0n]

Never played the 2nd one. Is it worth it?

Yes, play it if you liked the first one. Better soundtrack, a bit longer too. Story is silly and the maps are bigger so get used to getting killed from off screen however.

 

[plushyp]

Actually I liked 2 more than 1. The story went all out, missions were crazier and the music was amazing.

 

[Appleprosy]

If you want a physical copy on Switch, it will be going on sale in an hour via SRG / LRG.

 

[Hendrick's]

Interested. How does it look / perform?

It's the same 'ol HLM.

 

[Nymphae]

Actually I liked 2 more than 1. The story went all out, missions were crazier and the music was amazing.

I thought it was too dragged out, some of the narrative missions were a boring chore. It was a little up it's own ass but 1 was intensely perfect.

I feel the exact same way. 2 wouldn't end and was all over the place. 1 was perfection.

 

[angelic]

Still needs to be played though.

Always interesting to hear about different preferences! You both disliked it for the reasons I liked it lol. I didn't like HM1 because it was too insular and super laser focused all the while dropping vague hints about the setting. 2 did suffer from being too big but that was because the Dennaton brothers wanted to end the game with 2. Still, I loved how everything came together in the end with the various characters, plotlines and that explosive (hue) ending.

Special reserve games had it but it sold out already. I got one when it went live and 3 hours later all 7500 copies were gone.

Limited run games is selling it also but they don't have the cool extras.

 

[Appleprosy]

I grabbed the LRG version because it was cheaper, though I hate LRG. This is one of my favorite games ever; had to have it. I think k they sold out. Don't look at eBay.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Went with LRG too because it was cheaper than SR and didn't come with a bunch of extra tat I don't need. LRG sold out of their 4000 copies in about 10 minutes.

 

[bronk]

I enjoyed 1 immensely more than the second one. I beat them both.

 

[n0razi]

The original was amazing... the sequel was mediocre at best

 

[Appleprosy]

I hated how you had death coming from across that map that you couldn't fully see. I didn't feel cheated in 1. 2 had a lot of shitty deaths.

 

[Enjay]

Part 1 was perfect.

Part 2 the makers of the game were up their own ass and thought they were writers.
