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.

bubuiic: Really funny to watch this thread and the general opinion turning around. Probably gog should have linked the RPS article(s)... :D

G-Doc: What we should have done was to simply use "cactus, Cactus, CACTUS!!!" as a tagline for this game ;-)
In all seriousness, I think you guys should link the Youtube video to the gamecard.
Goddamnit the visual style hurts my eyes but it stil looks like an awesome game!!

DAlancole: All I have to say is: haters gonna hate. I saw this video and I am convinced that this game is just right for me.

You know, you're right. At first I saw the screenshots here and thought 'meh'.. then I saw the gameplay in that video and now I want it. Looks fun, good music too. The guy who's playing in that video is annoying as hell though.

another release that not interest me
What the... ?! I looks kind of awful...
No matter which preview or trailer I've seen about this, the music always fascinated me. The additional soundtrack would've been lovely, but I'll still consider it once it's released.
high rated
Looks alright. Wouldn't be an instabuy for me, but certainly something to keep on the radar for a rainy day.

And people - all this whinging every time an indie release pops up that it isn't an old game is getting very boring, very old, and very tired.
oh GOG, what you have done to me?
I am pre-ordering that crap-looking thing :D :D :D
trivia: background sounds of this post - HA!HA!HA! from that yt dopefish preview :D :D :D

One of the most intelligent posts I seen in this thread. Couldn't agree more I mean heaven forbid GOG releases or takes pre-orders for games a small portion of the customer base are not interested in.

Like i said earlier in the thread, these games must sell well for GOG to keep adding them to the catalogue.
I won't say that this game looks like crap. It's probably been said enough already. But I can't help myself. This game looks like crap.
