There's fifteen missions...
Edit: one site I checked I know for sure said fifteen, but there's eighteen. Weird.

Re: Anyone else looking forward to Hotline Miami?
I just finished the first two levels with a B+ and a B. I'm using a logitech controller and the game seems to play fine that way. I've died a few times, but it doesn't annoy me like other games. There's no wait period to get back in the game, and it doesn't poke fun at you the way so many other games seem to do when you die. I haven't been super stealthy or careful so far. I've had quite a few guys come at me and I just attacked faster than they did and took them out. I'm sure it won't be so easy once I get further into the game.

You'll probably want to go for the M&K later in the game. Just fyi.Gamerforlife wrote:I just finished the first two levels with a B+ and a B.

Better get awesome at killing enemies right before they kill you.Gamerforlife wrote:I just finished the first two levels with a B+ and a B.

Re: Anyone else looking forward to Hotline Miami?
I've had to start playing a bit smarter since my last post. I generally try to barge into a room and quickly melee everyone if there's two or three guys close to each other, or just find a camp spot, fire a shot and melee everyone who comes around the corner. Shotgun seems the best option when I do feel the need to grab a fire arm. I don't have to be quite so perfect with the aim and that's nice given that this game only gives you a second to get a bead on someone before they kill you. That level with the explosives and the hostage had me stumped for a while, but I got past it.SamuraiMegas wrote:Better get awesome at killing enemies right before they kill you.Gamerforlife wrote:I just finished the first two levels with a B+ and a B.

Only problem I'm having is that the game tends to crash, which is annoying in a tough game like this. I wonder if it's a Windows 8 issue.

Re: Anyone else looking forward to Hotline Miami?
The more I play this, the more I feel like it is a stealth game in action game clothing. The game is really about knowing where your enemies are and picking the best time and the best way to attack. It gets like a twitchy action game though in that sometimes you'll have a VERY brief window of attack, or you might be in a situation where you need to take out three or four guys in VERY quick succession to prevent one of them from killing you because enemies are fast as fuck in this game. Sometimes you'll also be in a situation where you screw up, but can still survive if you can react in the .5 seconds you have before a dude offs you. So thinking on your feet and fast reflexes do matter in this game
So it's like a fast paced, twitchy stealth game....if that makes any sense. And yeah, it does make me think of some of the action in the movie Drive. Everything is fast and brutal. Your enemies are quick, ruthless and efficient. You have to be a bit more cunning than they are...and waaaaay more brutal. My only gripe with the game is that some of the later levels get pretty cheap in their design and you start to feel like luck starts to matter as much as skill. I hate how tough games inevitably devolve into cheap affairs as you get closer and closer to the end. I think masks are the difference makers in this game. The one that makes dogs not attack you has helped me tremendously in some levels.
