Hotline Miami review

[Family Fry]

Lock on with pad is right stick click in.
Also LB is look ahead if you hold it in and camera moves with right stick.
Good if you want to lock onto someone ahead.

[MisterBubbles]

I'll second what EB said, 'There's a lock on?'

[Golgo]

muppets

[MisterBubbles]

No wonder ive been struggling with it, you try playing it with no lock on numpty

[EvilBoris]

I'm clearly too 1337 for lock on!

[Largo]

Bought it in err xmas sales on steam perhaps, or maybe full price, i forget.

Anyway incredible title, i really cant pick things out its just a whole package of awesomeness.

[Golgo]

You're (EB and MrB) the kind of gaming hardmen who say only noobs read instruction books then moan on forums about not understanding the controls, that they're broken etc.

[MisterBubbles]

What instruction book? Its an online game, and i don't recall the beardy guy saying diddly squat about lock on.

[Golgo]

Wasn't referring to this game only. Anyway, it's cunningly and illogically hidden away under 'CONTROLS' in the front page of the main menu. I can understand how you might've missed it. You might find other interesting 'CONTROLS' in there too, like how to finish off a downed attacker.

[Family Fry]

WHAT! You can finish off downed attackers???

[MisterBubbles]

The beardy guy told me 3 things, left to throw things, right to swing things, and A to finish attackers, at no point did he tell me i could lock on, he was explaining the controls but forget a pretty important one, i think there should be an additional DLC case, where beardy guy gets killed for being a prat.

[Golgo]

Just finished this. 'Last' boss was even more badly implemented and annoying than all the others. Other than that a fun and surprising game, well worth the cost of the pint of beer I spent on it.

[Sketcz]

Where does beer cost $10?!

[Guts]

Norway probably.

[Golgo]

?3.49 in Steam sale = approximately 1 pint of alcoholic beverage in my local fleapit. It's not worth ?7 or two pints but I was not too displeased about sacrificing just the one.

ps.: do they even drink pints in Norway? I thought they drank those effeminate European measures?
