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.

NSFW, lots of swearing in it.

Sorta makes me want to take a closer look though....
Well for starters, I too don't think the game looks good, though I'll reserve further judgment for when I see some gameplay vids myself...

But the butthurt in this thread... :O

trebor8273: sorry but no GOG this looks awful, stick at what your best at Good Old Games or even Good newish games or good indie games, this is none of those!
Have you tried it? Or at least read something about the game? If so, could you back up you post with some arguments maybe?

Starmaker: I just want the game, not the "experience" that may or may not be bundled with it. Because cactus. So, waiting for a faq/guide/walkthrough.
Sorry I'm not following, who is this cactus and what's your problem with him? Care to elaborate?

As to the game, I read about it in the RPS article linked above and it sounded quite interesting to me.
this has to be the first game where negative comments far exceed the positive ones. think this might not of been one of gogs best decision

Wow the RPS write-up makes it look like something else.

What's the deal with cactus though? I haven't played any of his games before.
Anyone else liking the soundtrack as much as I am? It fits the game so well.

Get this http://playthisthing.com/cactus-arcade
Read a preview for this game in a Polish gaming mag. The author is absolutely crazy about it. I totally hate the visual style but it may actually be an amazing game.
Woah woah wait a minute, wait just a minute, this is by Cactus? How did I not hear of this?

Oh man, sign me up! Well, as soon as I get some cash.
The gameplay looks tasty!
lowyhong thanks thats changed my mind i really should not of judged this from a few screenshots and my initial reaction. really interested now
