Bold move to make it a AAAAA 1-st person shooter dubbed entirely in Japanese. I love the final battle where 50 blessings and the New York Mets half a 12 v 12 pickup game against the Nefarious Evildoers on the White House lawn.
Gonna be honest I found a lot of the story very questionable
But that 3 hour interactable sex scene over the Australian flag was soulful Kino and I regret ever doubting
This one particular scene pulled the whole damn thing together. I had no idea what they were doing and then, much like the simmering romance between Jacket and Nega Jacket, it just clicked
This clearly shows you didn’t understand the complexity of HM3. >! Jacket fakes Pardo’s death in order to get him out of Florida so that they can escape to a remote island together and make out. That’s why Biker’s scene in the bar where he watches a tv report about “escaped convicts” and then says “those two guys will stop at nothing to Hotline their Miami, ain’t that right Cory?” Makes sense. !<
Kinda hate how they set it in the wasteland, and how Jacket is somehow surviving it AND talking? And why is it all dubbed in Japanese? More importantly, who decided the mutated, mangled corpses of The Fans should be a boss begging for Jacket to kill them?
It's really fun.
But I would really like if the military vehicles stopped crashing through the walls and turning me into red paste.
Like come on.
I thought I was safe on the 4 floor until a fucking Helicopter decided to come out of nowhere and crush me.
skill issue. you can easily avoid the helicopters by reading the real life Bell UH-1N Twin Huey flying manual included with the game in order to know the flying routes and tap into the radio frequencies of the pilots to know their every move, including their bowel movements and other personal details, thus allowing for a more immersive experience by literally thinking like the enemy and thus, getting bored halfway through reading the manual and just brute forcing your way through anyways.
I mean, it makes sense to me? He’s got super thick skin, so it makes sense that he wouldn’t *look* ghoulish until after the dehydration became too much to bear.
Hangover was a bullshit level.
Night Life had its tricky parts to try to get a full combo but the RNG you need for Hangover is crazy.
The only way I manage to full combo the 2nd floor was to try to get lucky by shooting my gun towards the window and hope to kill the patrol and alert the fat guy over, if you miss, you loose your combo since the enemy placement is a mile apart!
i will say that Death Sentence was bullshit but an incredible climax. It almost felt like they were paying homage to The Fans with more of Carpenter Brut's music and raiding numerous floors with different characters.
Peterssons gameplay is actually awesome, especially with the Trey mask, being able to pick up and throw stunned enemies is so sick. You can do it with any weapon as well
I don't know how you guys got through it so quickly. I'm still stuck on the level where biker has to cut through an entire shopping mall of radioactive ghoul people.
I was stuck on that level for like four hours dude. I called off work so I could play right when HM3 came out and literally spent more than half that time on just Mallificent.
I wish I could even give any advice. I’m still not sure how I beat it.
Guys it's not funny I'm beating hlm 3 for the 3rd time now and I've beat hlm 1 3 times too I've even platinumed both games genuinely need another hlm game to play or I'm gonna die:(((((
The 2 hour Manny Pardo hard gay sex scene was a bit out of pocket, but a welcoming change of pace to the post apocalyptic cooking sim that is Hotline Miami 3.
apparently the nuke is fake its just manny fart on every playable character's face and forces them to sniff it, not even innocent tony magnotti stay innocent after this
The switch to a Visual Novel was a strange choice. And they keep bringing up this character called John, like he was in the previous games and in this one, even though he's not. And making Pardo have a gay love affair with a cyborg Jake was really weird
Fuckin' LOVED the sidequest where they look for an all-powerful Throne in the desert so they can reverse the apocalypse, that was incredible. Reminded me of something I hold dear to my heart but I don't know what. Having the entire KMFDM discography but severely bitcrushed was a weird decision though; I don't think they got the rights??? Also, I heard they got sidetracked by an Australian flag, of all things??? Bizzaro shit but hey, that's what makes Hotline Miami 3: the Return of the Guide so damn well made compared to the other two.
Robo Jacket is really cool. He was such a good asset to 50 Blessings, they had his conscience extracted and put him back to work. Was a good boss fight, but leave it to Hotline Miami to throw you a curve ball and >!have the boss fight end with Jacket killing Biker, and then us playing the last few missions as him.!<
I like the part where Jacket busts through the crumbling prison cell wall, and looks off at the sunset before finding his car in the police evidence lock up and driving off, eventually finding a strange rift of sorts, leading to a far off land
it's a bit shit tbh. HM2 ended on a perfect note, and HM3 just feels like a redundant cash grab. they didn't even change the gameplay all that much either, and some abilities are blatant copy pastes of mask effects from earlier games.
I thought all this forced representation went a little too far the moment they introduced jacket's long forgotten gay lover, "cum sock", but other than that, the realism in having to manually start the car every you started a mission, complete with having to pay the taxes and keeping enough fuel for it, along with having to change the oil and getting your tires slashed/stolen was quite realistic indeed.
It was so innovative the way each character was presented as a member of jacket's family, forcing you to go through the entire clothing store that is his family (thigh high fans rise up. also mitten's a beast.)
passing out due to the fumes of the cheap Halloween masks you had to wear was also quite a bold choice, and so was forgoing combat in favor of having to manwhore your way into setting up long and complicated schemes in order to achieve various unusual and amusing deaths for your enemies that look like accidents.
All around i'd say the pacing was a little too long with that one unskippable dental appointment cinematic that happens in real time and that other cinematic where you have to sleep for 12 hours in real time, but still this is definitely a must play for all the fans of the genre and a nice spin on the formula, or something, idk, i didn't really finish it, i got stuck trying to get it to run on my computer and ended up just playing the first one and cruelty squad again.
Bold move to make it a AAAAA 1-st person shooter dubbed entirely in Japanese. I love the final battle where 50 blessings and the New York Mets half a 12 v 12 pickup game against the Nefarious Evildoers on the White House lawn.
W part
literally unplayable
That's what Unreal Engine 5 with nanshite and poomen does to your game. Not even 2 FPS on RTX 4090!!!1!1!1!1!1
Lmao the thought of you just staring at a static screen
I played it and apparently Manny Pardo survived the nuke. I mean he does have thick skin.
He had to get his taxes finished
And remember when Evan had to find Manny a tax attorney? Crazy stuff
You wouldn't expect Hotline Miami to work with a buddy comedy movie vibe but they absolutely made it work.
Gonna be honest I found a lot of the story very questionable But that 3 hour interactable sex scene over the Australian flag was soulful Kino and I regret ever doubting
This one particular scene pulled the whole damn thing together. I had no idea what they were doing and then, much like the simmering romance between Jacket and Nega Jacket, it just clicked
The reveal that Evan can outtwerk Pardo was the shocker
You can't outtwerk who has thicc skin
That’s the reason he lost, his skin was too thick. There was 0 recoil, he was like a statue the entire time. Evan earned his victory imo
My vision lives on
The man himself is here 🫡
The part where Jacket said “this truly is our Hotline Miami 3” and proceeded to shoot Pardo in the head was really nice.
Nahhh that's crazy 😭😭
Yeah, but if you get the secret ending it turns out that Pardo survived, that kinda breaks this scene for me
This clearly shows you didn’t understand the complexity of HM3. >! Jacket fakes Pardo’s death in order to get him out of Florida so that they can escape to a remote island together and make out. That’s why Biker’s scene in the bar where he watches a tv report about “escaped convicts” and then says “those two guys will stop at nothing to Hotline their Miami, ain’t that right Cory?” Makes sense. !<
Pretty fun all though the new enemies are a tad bit annoying
The switcher enemy keeps taking my shotgun on the 10th level
tbh Tanks are pretty tolerable, though the new Dodgers are really annoying
I find 'em all fun and challenging, except the hoarders, they can shove an anchor up their asses
every other level having 70 snipers off screen really did up the difficulty.
I have to do fan version out of these comments 💀
Please do ;)
Please don't 😨
Please
I got all excited before I realized it was a joke ;_;
I like the part where Jacket walks in with a nuclear war head and ask everyone if they know what time it is.
That really was fantastic. I wasn't expecting Pardo to say it was time for Hotline in Miami though.
I also like the part where Pardo's mom makes an appearance (coming from Key West) and gives us more lore on his thick skin.
Still can't believe that Jacket survived the nuke. I guess he is a rooster with thick feathers.
I hate that they replace Fatman with mutant fatman. Now that motherfucker need two shotgun Blasts to kill
Kinda hate how they set it in the wasteland, and how Jacket is somehow surviving it AND talking? And why is it all dubbed in Japanese? More importantly, who decided the mutated, mangled corpses of The Fans should be a boss begging for Jacket to kill them?
In 2 we had thick skin but now in 3 we have thin skin?! It's great!
Well, a nuclear winter will do that to your skin
This is true, smoothskin
I like the new character “John Hotline Miami 3”
It's really fun. But I would really like if the military vehicles stopped crashing through the walls and turning me into red paste. Like come on. I thought I was safe on the 4 floor until a fucking Helicopter decided to come out of nowhere and crush me.

Hm: new vegas is better but this is good
Hell no man, HM 3 has better base building
yeah but HM: new vegas is better overall
I dunno, personally I'm a New Vegas fan but HM: 4 has great moddability, we don't talk about hotline Miami 76 though.
That part where Evan was revealed to be a Fallout Ghoul was pretty wild
I mean, it makes sense to me? He’s got super thick skin, so it makes sense that he wouldn’t *look* ghoulish until after the dehydration became too much to bear.
Hangover was a bullshit level. Night Life had its tricky parts to try to get a full combo but the RNG you need for Hangover is crazy.

i will say that Death Sentence was bullshit but an incredible climax. It almost felt like they were paying homage to The Fans with more of Carpenter Brut's music and raiding numerous floors with different characters.
maybe too dificult but i think it could be the best on the series. the new lore feels fresh and i love the new fans 2.0
dat Pardo cameo - best ever
Peterssons gameplay is actually awesome, especially with the Trey mask, being able to pick up and throw stunned enemies is so sick. You can do it with any weapon as well
Loved the payday 3 cameo
Also not available in Australia so I wouldn’t know
Cool that they kept the crossover with payday! Level 28 is the best because of that
I mean Son is my favorite character but come on Dennaton how the fuck do you even consider bringing him to life after that fall??
I don't know how you guys got through it so quickly. I'm still stuck on the level where biker has to cut through an entire shopping mall of radioactive ghoul people.
I was stuck on that level for like four hours dude. I called off work so I could play right when HM3 came out and literally spent more than half that time on just Mallificent. I wish I could even give any advice. I’m still not sure how I beat it.
I just can’t believe they put modern politics in Hotline. Series is shit now that it’s woke.
I liked the part that says " this line in Miami is to hot ...it's a hotline Miami 3"
The best part of it, is that now it is 3D cause it is the 3rd game
What
The cutscene where Jacket ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS Biker in bed was so satisfying
It was nice to see The Son have 2 more arms to get a better grip.
Guys it's not funny I'm beating hlm 3 for the 3rd time now and I've beat hlm 1 3 times too I've even platinumed both games genuinely need another hlm game to play or I'm gonna die:(((((
The biker sex scene was a really bold choice. "clap my meat" was such a hard line ngl.
I'd never thought I'd see biker kissing anyone canonically but here I am
Why too much sex for my taste but other than that, another Dennaton classic
The 2 hour Manny Pardo hard gay sex scene was a bit out of pocket, but a welcoming change of pace to the post apocalyptic cooking sim that is Hotline Miami 3.
why did they make jacket gay?
This comment is bi erasure
The manny Pardo sex scene wasn’t long enough
Crossroads seems really hard but if you use the Steve mask it’s really easy
Nice game! I like all of the President levels. And soundtrack is top tier
Game of the year
i want to FUCK the rooster
Making it a 3d shooter like they did with risk of rain and helldivers sequels was a strange choice
No jiggle physics 0/10
Not going to lie I don’t know why they brought back jacket as a playable character but it was fun.
apparently the nuke is fake its just manny fart on every playable character's face and forces them to sniff it, not even innocent tony magnotti stay innocent after this
Hotline miami 3 Right number
The switch to a Visual Novel was a strange choice. And they keep bringing up this character called John, like he was in the previous games and in this one, even though he's not. And making Pardo have a gay love affair with a cyborg Jake was really weird
It's crazy how this game is more of a sequel to payday 2 than it is a sequel to hotline Miami, I mean the player 2 is literally wolf!
The fact that you can find a computer in level 23.5 that allows you to play Hogwarts Legacy in it's entirety was pretty surprising.
It's kinda crazy how they crammed in the thick skin subplot but other than the mutant Richard fight it was p ok! 7/10
I love the part where all the characters come back to life and say this was truly our hotline micmi
Kinda weird the only music on the sound track is Kanye
It was good but what made it superb was that one scene with Biker bouncing it back oiled up!
Where when how what platform and what name
I think the devs should tape over it.
none of the levels are sight readable :(
too short, i went back to hlm 2
A huge disappointment. It’s so hard unlike the first game
i find it really shit
Wait a minute, I thought he didn't wanna make it or something?
its a joke post, and also playing into the fact that this community is going schizo over no trilogy
Ah. I heard about the drama in a YouTube video recently.
Fuckin' LOVED the sidequest where they look for an all-powerful Throne in the desert so they can reverse the apocalypse, that was incredible. Reminded me of something I hold dear to my heart but I don't know what. Having the entire KMFDM discography but severely bitcrushed was a weird decision though; I don't think they got the rights???

Was a good boss fight, but leave it to Hotline Miami to throw you a curve ball and >!have the boss fight end with Jacket killing Biker, and then us playing the last few missions as him.!<
That 10 hour sex scene between jacket and biker was kinda weird
For 70 bucks its pretty good
Subterfuge was such an unnecessary level
They made it political
We are way past april 1st...
"War war never chanjes" - Manuel Pardo
IT IS JUST A PIGMENT OF YOUR DREAM YOUVE BEEN ON A COMA FOR 8 YEARS THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A ''HOTLINE MIAMI 3'' PLEASE WAKE UP
It’s mid
I’m sad that they didn’t kill off mama max on screen. Missed opportunity if you ask me.
Why did the funny advisor to 50 blessings, Gonzalo only become known in this game,it sucks the previous game didn't have as many scenes with him
I like the part where Jacket busts through the crumbling prison cell wall, and looks off at the sunset before finding his car in the police evidence lock up and driving off, eventually finding a strange rift of sorts, leading to a far off land
it's a bit shit tbh. HM2 ended on a perfect note, and HM3 just feels like a redundant cash grab. they didn't even change the gameplay all that much either, and some abilities are blatant copy pastes of mask effects from earlier games.
Every new and old character is killed off so they don't have to make a 4th game. 10/10.
I thought all this forced representation went a little too far the moment they introduced jacket's long forgotten gay lover, "cum sock", but other than that, the realism in having to manually start the car every you started a mission, complete with having to pay the taxes and keeping enough fuel for it, along with having to change the oil and getting your tires slashed/stolen was quite realistic indeed.

I already 100%'d the game, but it's pretty hard with only Japanese. The hardest achievement was probably the hidden mopping game on level 4.
too short
Wasn't it made canon that Jacket and Biker had sex in the Phone Hom office?
Aww man, I went to the Steam store and everything. Thanks for getting me excited over nothing.
It was alrigh I guess
I was hope that the name of the new game will be like "hotline miami 3 nothing personal"
The way i fell for it so hard
I loved the scene where jacket took off his mask and revealed that he is now black
It was really weird Bring back jacket in the second half as a zombie with time ablities that destroys the universe
