Hotline Miami is freaking incredible

It was probably going to be the best version, too. I'm pretty disappointed.

Buy this game, people! It's one of the best games I've played in recent years.

Hahaha. To be honest, I really like the GC controller. I think it would be great with this game...
Paris was the one I was looking for. That's good, but now I want to bash someone's skull in when I get a call. That's bad.

Wow thanks guys, just gave me enough amazing new music to get through the holidays easily!
I've heard that Com Truise track somewhere, maybe on a trailer. Maybe it was Dredd? I remember the song though.

Awesome post, op. I would have loved like triple the amount of levels though, thats's probably my only gripe.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
I played the first 3 missions awhile back when I got it, but now picking it back up again I just get an error.
It will be impossible to play this game on a touchscreen. Even with an iCade or something similar... it just wouldn't work. Your best bet for something consolized would be the potential PS3 (+ Vita?) version.

Vita version would be incredible. Then lots of people can see it being played on the train!
Holy moly, thanks for the Youtube links! Don't have Spotify down here so I'll start running through all the Bandcamps!

Hey, thanks for that. Some awesome stuff in there. Lazerhawk is just glorious.
I'd say it's the opposite of janky. You have full, instant control of your character at all times.
And glitchy enemies that use incredibly flaky, inconsistent AI.
The AI seemed pretty consistent to me. They were extremely easy to exploit once you figure out the range of the sound of gun shots.
I don't think I would change that about the game though. It's just part of the puzzle for me.
What?! Holy shit! It all makes sense!
...of course the only other game of his I've played is Mondo Agency.

Been playing the last couple of hours. Just got up to the Part 2 questionaire bit. So far I am enjoying it, but the difficulty certainly doesn't fuck around. It is making me extremely frustrated now that I am at Ch5 (which seems to have dogs). I want to keep playing, but it is making me kind of angry. Don't think I have the patience...right now.
It's certainly an interesting game. I find the art style to be charmingly surreal. The violence is really raw. When I took the pot of boiling water and poured it on the downed enemy's face I was like wtf. Soundtrack is pretty fantastic as well.
Best of all it is giving me a Metal Gear vibe. There is a strategy to the game that is making me really think outside the box. The "ah ha!" moments when I figure a way to clear a difficult room is very rewarding. It's almost like a puzzle game.

I don't know what this complaint about janky control is about. I'm at chapter 9. playing with the x360 controller. really really good game. up there in terms of top tier fun games I've played 2012. great synergy of music, visuals and pixel gore. loving the
masks.
Nevermind! I had to reboot a few moments ago and now I'm getting the usual error. Bummer.
It doesn't control like Geometry Wars when it should.

Yeah. Fucking awesome game. I also have been listening to Crystals by M|O|O|N for the past 30 minutes.

it's out partly under the different artists pages, like under bandcamp, http://spacerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/hotline-miami-ep
http://music.musicofthemoon.com/album/moon-ep
http://scattle.bandcamp.com/album/hotline-miami-the-takedown-ep/
and you can atleast listen it all here:
https://soundcloud.com/devolverdigital/sets/hotline-miami-official
attach a real mouse and you are good to go. using a trackpad is too slow!
you can find the original 320kbps files from soundcloud out there.
no, even with a mouse you feel gimped compared to a controller.

really?! gonna fire it up right now... didn't see an update.
I thought the enemies were extremely predictable, to the point where you could easily exploit their quirks to take out tons of guys quickly. Never encountered any glitches outside from the audio bug.
No, you really need m+kb for this game. Precision aiming.

Soundtrack for Hotline Miami is amazing.
Guards that move in a pattern are usually pretty predictable, but you can't count on everyone responding the same way to the same set of actions. Random patterns will have guards opening doors and leaving rooms they'd otherwise stay in, and enemy response to weapon noise can be extremely inconsistent.
The game is fast-paced enough, and restarts are painless enough, that this isn't that much of a problem, but it is a little annoying.
Thanks for the music list, awesome.
Just R and go again
Does thinking of the game as a twitch action puzzler help? AI in this game to me is 'Walk in path, turn and shoot guy in FoV'.

I should check it out, his songs "Miami disco" and "Electric dreams" are my favorite of the whole soundtrack.Good place to pimp this again:
http://perturbator.bandcamp.com/album/i-am-the-night
Free (PWYW) Album by Perturbator, who contributed 3 tracks to the OST.
Listen to 2., 9. and 10. to see if you'll like it. It's pretty goddamn good.
Oh yeah Hotline Miami rocks. The only game I'd call a "murder simulator".
EDIT After further listening I have to say my favourite track is actually 11.

Holy crap, track 10 is RIDICULOUSLY BADASS.
Why should it? It controls just fine for thousands of players.
