Miss with your weapon throw, fist, or gun? You will die. You aim with the mouse cursor with both melee and ranged weapons. Who knows why this design decision was made, but it makes a big impact. Sometimes, guard routes will completely change, meaning tactics that once worked will screw up your carefully developed that took countless attempts to bolster. Hence, we can see that the quick restarts were part of the design, and seem to cover a number of flaws all at once. Super Meat Boy, for example, places you in difficult situations yet it also gives you slippery jump controls.
Then, they give you an infinite retry button to expose the lack of careful balance. Because of this, the under-cooked elements never make the player comfortable and able to overcome the challenges of the game with full confidence in their abilities. It relies on cheap deaths, faulty detection, and player inaccuracy for its difficulty.
The concept has so much potential and allows for a lot of great ideas, but the game ruins the execution. Spend you time on something else. Side Quest 1 Answer Can't kill dogs with bare hands?

I never played more than a few levels of this game because I didn't have the patience to beat the levels but I just beat it the other day after learning the game and it's not that bad at all. I still think the old megaman games are way harder than this. User Info: CourtofOwls CourtofOwls 6 years ago 2 just got around to playing it myself,i would more describe it as a nuisance than difficult the ai is inconsistant enough and the controls just enough on the imprecise side to have things go wrong that shouldn't be thus resulting in the "difficulty" [?

Beginning a new game after completion starts the Table Sequence in which Richard speaks to each of the dead characters in a dirty room; each are replaced by their dead body when done talking. When finished, Richard turns on a film projector showing "Midnight Animal", starting the events of the game over again.
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number represents a massive shift in tone from the original game. The colors have shifted from hazy neon pastels to stark dark purples lacking any kind of visual blur to them. Sun Araw's psychedelic music is completely omitted, replaced with tracks such as a melancholy untitled menu song by The Green Kingdom, calm remorseful songs like Modulogeek's Around, and exhausted on-the-job beats like Old Fox Future Gang's Guided Meditation.
The characters, in stark contrast to Jacket and Biker , are largely identified by their job titles or actual names instead of their possessions. Dialogue, while unanimously terse and filled with natural awkward silences, is more prevalent and each character uses it slightly differently.
This variety of expanded and diversified characteristics and focus on a wide array of lifestyles creates a sobering effect next to the original game. This parallels the shift in primary setting from 's to the much culturally calmer 's.
Violence in feels aimless: the Russian mob is gone similar to how the Cold War was basically over by this point in history , and the Fans often note that the people they target prior to Death Wish are disturbingly similar to themselves "Kinda like this place, huh? Drugs are touched on much more soberly in Hotline Miami 2 , focusing more on the kinds of people who use, transport, and attempt to control them.
Alex is a recreational user of marijuana and her technician brother Ash frequently bashes people on the basis of being junkies. Police Detective Pardo based on a real MDPD officer who declared himself a soldier and murdered six people is shown cracking down excessively hard on Colombian drug smuggling Dead Ahead and this is later revealed to be a function of his own personal self righteous power fantasies.
Pardo tries to have a meeting with the Russian mob immediately afterward, implying he did the job to earn their trust, or is perhaps angling to take them down too just as brutally.
Flashback missions to a fully fictional Hawaii warzone perhaps most analogous historically to America's involvement in Nicaragua trace the source of violence acceptability in the other direction: here even Barnes and Daniels , wholly likable people with friendly personalities, also are expected to and do enjoy executing and beating prisoners Ambush outro.
The over exaggerated Hawaiian jungle -- complete with panthers as a triple origin story for 50 Blessings , the Brandon mask , and the Father 's pet panthers -- is heavily used to give context to events in the subsequent settings, but also to draw an analogy between humans and the animal conditions that created them.
When the Russian Henchman asks to go home in Execution , he also mentions he wants to go to the jungle. The absorption of humans into animal traits is a theme that's been with Hotline Miami since the first game's tutorial, and the endgame for Hotline Miami 2 naturally builds this to a head where characters become the animals they pretend to be.
Throughout all of this the player's impulse to catalog it manifests in the character of Evan Wright , who is also based on a real Miami writer who writes about real Miami criminals. Due to the focus on lifestyle, however, the writer is entirely defined on his sinking unhealthy amounts of time into retrieving overlooked information.
Exposing schemes with his information isn't so much his concern as much as the fact that he could write a popular book with that socially trending information and make money to support his family.
The exact gigantic scale of the impending disaster is never made clear to the Writer or the player until the last minute of the game and by then choice to abandon the investigation or quickly publish his narrow view of events has already been made; in fact, even choosing to continue to investigate isn't done so with the urgency required to stop the ending from happening anyway. The emphasis here is on natural personal blind spots.
Similar to Biker in the password ending to Hotline Miami people are shown to have limits on what they care about and things like the global and political rarely factor in.
Writer's perspective on other characters is noticeably limited: he has a close friendship with Pardo due to a mutual interest in garnering fame, Manny fears that Evan knows too much Caught , but it only ever amounts to Evan calling him a douchebag.
In the Bar of Broken Heroes, Evan refuses to press Biker for details as it would require giving the extremely unhealthy looking Biker dollars of booze money, and Evan determines this would be wrong. Flashes to the setting from the first game detail the lives of Jake and Richter , both of which play up different aspects of the original game's Jacket.
Jake is the patriotic pizza eater who hates his job loves his car and can't hold a steady relationship, and Richter is the torn man backed into a corner with everything to lose.
These characters allow for much more distilled tones than Jacket and have vastly different soundtracks and feels. Jake is summed up by the fact that one of his songs is named Quixotic: he's a naive idealist whose comical detachment from reality is ultimately his own downfall.
Richter on the other hand is a story of personal growth and maturity as he progressively cools to his extremely dangerous jobs and earns the happiness of himself and his mother.
Richter relies on pity and chance to survive his prison whacking the pipe drop in Release , but his abilities and quick reactions under stress are what really make him win the day.
His levels are cramped fast moving frenzies which train in him the jumpiness that got Jacket's girlfriend killed in the original game. This sympathy building emotional conflict is compounded by his dying mother for whom he is the sole caretaker. The spectre of some long gone "loner" father hangs above the large house and Richter himself is unemployed.
