No Mutants Allowed

I'll PM you the music. Anyway, the reason some fuckers are let down is because the masks? They're almost gone. IIRC only 2 storylines feature masks and everyone thought that the game was going to be about a bunch of hoodrats running around in a van cosplaying as knock-off brand Jackets and then got disappointed when the storyline doesn't try to ape the original.

I'll pick it up later then. Thanks for the recommendation.

Hotline Miami 2 is better in pretty much every conceivable way IMO... EXCEPT for one thing... If you did like the cryptic and vagure storyline of a man too far gone to differentiate between reality and fetishized murder fantasy then, well, it isn't going to live up to that.

I did. That was the main complaint of the game iirc.

Had it on vita.

I did too. Which is why I was left feeling very... Ambivalent after completing it the first time.

But it ties into the first?

It wasn't until I went ahead and completed the game on Hard Mode (there's a Hard Mode for the entire game btw) that I realized how amazing it was and how wrongly I had judged it. I had been expecting a rehash of HLM1 which I probably would've hated if they gave it to me since I'd rather not have a game at all than have a cashgrab rehash.

But I realized that HLM2 is doing its own thing. It's a sequel in terms of some story elements and gameplay alone. But the story? Is completely new and completely different. Personally I think that it surpasses the vague and cryptic story of the first one.

Anyway, yes, it does. I won't spoil the rest of it but The Fans, the guys in the van, are Jacket imitators.

Thanks again. It sounds like you really liked it. I know I had a great time with the first one. It was one of the few games I took on the go with me.

Hard Mode is fucking insane sometimes though. Enemies react EXTREMELY quickly to you. The levels are turned upside down so that they play out a bit differently. There are more windows and shit added for difficulty and more enemies around. And trying to A/S-score levels with high combo's is pure insanity sometimes.

And I love it.

Another game like that I wanted to try was Monaco I think it was called. It is coop though.

Oh! And it got a level editor! I made like 2 dozen levels for it. Great fun. I'll PM the screenshots of one of my levels, you can find other levels I've made in my Steam screenshots.

I didn't know that. Cool shit. Does it have mods at all besides that or?

Monaco is also REALLY good, I didn't play it with co-op though. Made it far more difficult IMO since I had to utilize only one characters abilities to collect all the cashmoney.

I think there are some mods out there, mostly for re-skinning characters.

I've made 19 levels apparently. At least those are the ones I backed up. Never did put them up on the Workshop.

Watching a conversation between you two is pretty confusing at first if you're used to glancing at avatars instead of usernames.

I could always change mine for kicks and see what he does. I'll do that.
