It's Full of Vice!

Hotline Miami, a brutal 2D top-down shooter set in the neon '80s, is available for pre-order with a 10% discount for the next two weeks.

***Warning: this game is for adults only***

Every shot is deadly. Keep your composure, be lightning fast. Kill without mercy. Crush their skulls, gut them, decapitate, blow up, cut them in half. You will find yourself pushed beyond the limits of humanity. Wear your mask. Don't forgive. They're scum--the worst kind you can find in 1989 Miami. Will the bloodshed ever end? You tell me.

Hotline Miami is a as-gory-as-pixels-can-be high-octane action game set in alternative 1989 Miami. The top-down stealth shooter mixes lead pipe or katana-driven close combat and intense semi-automatic or shotgun-pumped gunplay. The game is extremely brutal and unforgiving; both in terms of what the masked antagonist is doing on screen and difficulty level. Make one mistake and it's your brain on the wall. Make no mistake and the satisfaction from completing yet another level is huge. Rarely you find a game that packs so much heat and delivers so much joy.

Dozens of weapons, battles with Miami's underground bosses, animal masks, neon corridors, pumping soundtrack, and fantastic visual style--all that and more in Hotline Miami, available for pre-order for only $8.99 until October 23 at 9:59 AM GMT.

Okay first off, unrelated. Why the hell does GOG have to always open a window when I want to post? Can't it just work like normal forums and give me previews and a larger window and such? I was typing another post, stopped to answer this (it would've been quicker) and lost that other post.

Then again, I've been here years, you'd think I'd remember that.

ANYWAYS, moving on.. I'm not gonna be one of the "haters" that some people don't like seeing, but I will say I'm not impressed with the game. Visually it does nothing for me, and the theme might have been something I'd have stopped to check out about 15 years ago, but certainly not now.

The gameplay doesn't appeal to me, either. I'm reminded of an arcade game where you're being pumped for quarters for some reason. Of course, i'd like to think developers have gotten that sorta shit outta their system by now, especially Indie Developers, but one never can tell until they actually play it.

So yeah, not my cup of tea, I can understand why some people feel the game doesn't really seem like it's going to be a good game. Just cause a developer has made good stuff in the past, doesn't automatically get them a free ride, after all. Then again, maybe I've just grown to distrust them after some back-stabbings.
An interesting new preview of the game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXwrYuxIAjg&t=281
Well?
Da hell my pixel-gore?!
It looks like it could be interesting, but I don't quite understand why everyone is going nuts over this game.

People have been been going nuts over Madden and Call of Duty for a decade and I don't understand why.

I certainly don't think it looks like a bad game, or even something that doesn't deserve some excitement. I'm just a little baffled by how much excitement I've seen. Like there's something I'm missing.
