I really hope you consider talking about Wrong Number's OST soon, I still love putting that one on from time to time.

I love this game. So intense! Great video too btw

Knock knock is legit one of my favorite songs now, I listen to it everywhere and I get into it every time

It's probably trite to comment "now do the other thing!", but I'd also love to see you discuss HM2. It feels like that game has so much more hidden meaning and I'll never forget the first time hearing 'Run'

Hotline Miami 1&2 soundtracks are probably my favorite soundtracks if all time, many of the tracks I just play in my car on a night drive. So good

Of Course, the day after I finish this game

This game is a masterpiece and so is this channel. You have the coolest voice.

"Crush" feels like post-nut clarity but with violence

In my opinion, the 2nd games soundtrack for the ending of the 4th chapter is amazing. And despite how hard the level can be, the song just makes me continue and it just feels good.

This was fucking excellent. I love Hotline Miami and the soundtrack is probably my favourite part about it. Would love to see a video talking about the sequel and to hear your thoughts on its soundtrack and how it stands as a game

That was a genius comparison with the music being metronomical in tune with the players heart beat or their thoughts. With how every beat matters and you become dead silent not breathing because you're focusing on your every action.

Is it bad that silver lights is a comfort song for me

Came from Critical Distance and enjoyed it much. I like how you interpret the soundtrack

Never played either games but someone pointed me to the soundtrack of My Friend Pedro and how it somewhat compares to the soundtrack. I've listened to both soundtracks and they are really good!

Great way to revisit this old favourite. Haven't thought a lot about this game in a while.

Excellent analysis of how the music fits the game the way it does. Particularly about settling into the groove of some of the songs while you play the levels. Happened to me with "Miami Disco", which along with "Flatline", are my favorites from the soundtrack.

Flatline have played in my head for weeks after I finished the game

Holy shit dude, this video is amazing. You really have a phenomenal way of not only phrasing things, but of saying them as well. Of putting power and meaning behind your words. I just watched this video as well as your one on Danganronpa 1, and I think I'll have to watch the rest of your catalogue.

Great analysis mesmeric!

awesome vid!

Alex! Fantastic work! I know this prob got hit with copyright id's but if you can make some more videos like this and MGR I think think that would be a great series!

Horse Steppin' is a great shoegaze track

At first I hated deep cover because it was just so creepy and I guess it was made so that one of the most creepy tracks in the game is before you go on a killing spree it’s almost as if jacket knows what’s going to happen and is dreading it but still gets pulled in. As the game went on I started enjoying it more now seeing it as a nice peaceful sound before a catastrophe.

Only played through the first few levels of this game, might have to give it another go

I agree with the others, you really should do the sequels OST. I believe it's a lot more... melancholic than 1's Soundtrack, but the music itself I feel is given a lot of meaning as well. Please god talk about it's piece de resistance: Roller Mobster by Carpenter Brut, perhaps one of the greatest songs I've ever heard.

I like someone else pointing out that Hotline Miami is essentially a strategy game.

omg such a good video

Bro you had flatline playing in the background for like half the video and u didn't even talk about it

you should talk about hotline miami 2 soundtrack imo it’s better than HM 1 soundtrack and it’s shame how people didn’t really like HM2 even if it has batter story / soundtrack / level design

While I can't say for certain which one is better at this moment in time, I do really love "Acid Spit" from Hotline Miami 2.

Great video! No offence but I couldn't help noticing how slow and methodical your gameplay is. It's a valid play-style but not the one the game encourages the most: playing aggressively, risky and improvising along the way (while looking for consistent series of actions you can rely on) tends to be more fun IMO. It might seem slower because you die more, but you actually improve your quick decision making and execution while your tries are all shorter, compensating for their higher number. Think about it: why can you so easily stun (doors / throws) but never for long? Or easily kill multiple targets in a single melee attack? Why do firearms (except shotguns) empty so fast with the press of a button instead of helping you conserve ammo? Why do you re-spawn so fast? (ok, that's also because it would otherwise cause frustration, no matter the strategy used) It's all there to help you improvise plans on the spot and risk death without worry.

I did play rather cautiously, and I think the devs made that intentionally in the design, but quick decision-making opens plenty of doors in the gameplay. Hotline Miami is a wild game with depth beyond belief.

As someone who played both HM and HM2, I disagree. HM encourages players to play more strategically and slowly. Enemies in HM are not only quick and accurate, bullets go at almost laser speeds. Also in order to get the highest rank in any HM level you'd have to mostly kill all of them by knocking them down and executing them with a melee weapon, since that method gives the highest amount of points per kill. Guns give you about 200 points per kill and the method i mentioned 800. You also have additional factors like exposure (the more enemies you are exposed to the more points you get). It requires you to think as to how are you going to knock down and execute multiple enemies and not die attempting to do it. Combos also give a small boost in points but not by much. And then you have HM2, where combos are key to getting the highest rank. In short, combos in HM2 multiply the points you get from kills by a lot and in HM its just a mere bonus. Plus combo meter in HM is short (can be increased using the frog mask) and in HM2 it is longer (roughly as long as when the frog mask is equipped in HM). Playing strategically in HM2 is viable, but will never ever get you the S rank. And not only that, getting kills with guns gives you more points, bullets are slower and easier to dodge and enemies have a slightly slower reaction time. All of this combined, HM2 encourages more agressive play than HM.

Holy Crap I was just now humming the theme song of hotline Miami than this uploads five seconds later. I guess this was fate
