A haze of neon carnage.



<span class="bold">Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number</span>, a conclusion to the psychotic saga, is now available to pre-order for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 10% discount.

Limbs strewn everywhere, pulsating to the rhythmic thumping of a haunting (hauntingly good) mixtape. <span class="bold">Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number</span> is a conclusion to the maddeningly good saga that's conquered so many of our hearts, then left them bleeding out in the corner of a musty motel room. A quiet end, we should count ourselves lucky. Should have, because Hotline Miami is back with a thick, bloody vengeance. If there is one thing to love about the series (other than than the incredible soundtrack and gritty neon-laced setting), it's the precise, fast-paced gameplay which just got better and a bit more varied. There are new unique mask abilities like dual wielding or chainsaws (maybe dual-wielding chainsaws, if we're lucky), and seven new playable characters to make up this twisted part-prequel, part-sequel story of Jacket's aftermath.

If there was ever a good reason to pick up the bigger package, the <span class="bold">Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number Digital Special Edition</span> comes with the Remix EP and 6 unique tracks. An absolute treat, if you're into the Hotline musical stylings. Nothing's lost if you don't want to make the commitment just yet. You can always get the standard edition, and get the upgrade pack when it becomes available later on.

Once it's complete, all versions of the game will also come with a DRM-free Custom Level Editor to create your own maps and share them with friends. While you're waiting, make sure to grab the Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number Digital Comics for free!



Ring ring. It's <span class="bold">Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number</span>. Will you pick up? The pre-order is available now on GOG.com, with a 10% discount.











Why is Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number not available for pre-order in Australia?
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number was refused classification by the Australian Classification Board - the classification and censorship body formed by the Australian Government - this means that we are legally unable to sell the game to our Australian customers. We hated to hear it as much as you do, but after thoughtful consideration we felt that by refusing to sell the game worldwide, we would effectively apply the Australian censorship to 190+ other countries in the world. That would be unfairly punishing not just to our customers, but also the developers who took a stand against censoring their game.
By preventing purchases from IP's located within the borders of Australia, we make sure that the smallest number of people are affected by the ban. It sucks, but we believe it's the least of all evils.

lol, this game looks very familiar........ this is a very very violent game
yes, the first game is on GG (probably steam key again)
i saw it there ,thats why the game gave me a deja vu feeling.

I read the reviews on GG and 90% was very happy with it, 1 or 2 gave 3 stars i believe and 1 user said it was a very bad game, he called the graphics bad and everything else.
The rest was very satisfied.....


i guess the first one will come here aswell ?
or maybe not, the 1st one is on steam, it was a steam key on GG for steam

Graphics do look a bit like thargan (amiga) and konan ( all old console systems)
with a 16bit look, quite big spritelike looking characters.

Btw sega seems to have loads of old games released for pc on GG
theres a pack with 45 or 46 games i dont know if all will work on win7 :D (drm free)

I have Golden Axe, bought if for fun, was quite cheap...
drm free ofcourse

i played it and hide it away again cause, wow that was long time ago, now i am used to better graphics than pixelfun, but in the old c64 days we didn know better....
the eyes are now used to slick and smooth hires graphics instead of pixel

Just bought the normal version unaware of the upgade one (with thr tracks). Is it possbible to change? Thanks!

Fuck that censoring crap, I feel bad for them Ausies. Everyone should have the right to enjoy some glorious pixel carnage.

I think we should BOMBARD Australia with CD's of the game tied to balloons, like they did to North Korea with copies of The Interview.

Yes, just contact support, ask to cancel the pre-order and use the refunded money to get the new version.

First one is already here: http://www.gog.com/game/hotline_miami

And I hope Sega will come at some point, it's certainly appealing.

What are you talking about? The original Hotline Miami has been here for a long time.

yes indeed cause if these big packs are also sold as single games, then gog will have lots of games added to its total and then 2000 DRM free games will be in reach very quick.

vicklemos: I say travel to the nearest country (Papua New Guinea?), buy the GOG version, rip it on a cd (hey, it's yours afterall), sharpen it like crazy, go back to Kammerra and go on a "senate (?) rampage", cutting politics asscracks with your brand new Hotline Miami 2 forged weapon :P

CarrionCrow: I'll pass on that one.

I'd much rather the politicians treat the people they're supposed to represent as rational adults who can choose their own forms of entertainment.
Not a big fan of giving people who live for an excuse more ammunition to justify their ridiculous bullshit.

vicklemos: Although some serious asscracks precise cuts would be cool, huh? :)
You're totally right. Weird to see a solid democracy like Australia doing that. Heck, if I'm not mistaken, lotsa games are banned in Saudi Arabia (even Pok&eacute;mon, but neighbor Qatar is a free for all. And we're talking totalitarian countries here, not Australia.
avatar
CarrionCrow: The whole setup is ridiculous.

It screams of people who are utterly out of touch and scared of things they don't understand.

"Well, if people can play violent games, it'll corrupt them, and then they'll be killing people before the end of the day! Ban everything!"

No, you godsdamned morons. It doesn't work that way. 99.999999999 percent of people will play the game, enjoy the game, then go on with their lives.
The crazy bastards who end up killing people were going to do it anyway.
And that's what scares those who like to have control of things.

They can't cope with the idea of some people being out of their frigging minds, who could quite possibly decide to put a knife in their spine for giggles one day, or blow some people up, or shoot up a school/church/workplace/mall/whatever.

They treat people like dim children because they're cowards who can't bear the thought of life being something that's largely out of their control.
The problem with that point of view is that there are children online. Who purchase games. Good online age verification is not workable yet, and with DRM-free setups may not ever be. The argument of 'let adults choose' is reasonable as far as it goes, but it doesn't address the real world situation.

Yeah, laws get passed that treat people like children. Because a significant fraction of people online actually are children and need protection from their actual and biological inability to process life and make choices like rational adults.

In-person verification is a lot better for these kinds of games. If there was a law saying 'To get these games, you have to actually show up and purchase them in-store with ID', that would be OK. It won't prevent bad parents from failing their kids, but nothing will, and it would neatly address the protect kids / let adults choose dichotomy.

thats very kind of you, thanks

i have a few games including some of the mutator promos
its not much its only 194 games in total including the free ones we get when we join.

i have far less on gamersgate i think maybe 80 or 90 (casual games thats games like Braveland , i have both and they say a 3rd one should be coming, iam waiting for that)

On retail cd/dvd i think i have at least 350 games , thats 1 game per disk so thats loads of cds/dvd
also have some best of an collections with 5 tot 10 games on 1 dvd all on retail and all drm free ...
ofcourse all the games are translated to dutch, but thats only a small sideeffect.

Normally i get every game in english , my windows is english and office and all tools aswell, i dont want dutch language software :D
I also like the dvds i have with engllish voices not that overdubbing or other language.
The belgian voices of timon and pumba however are very funny, i believe that the belgians do far better and funnier voiceovers for the movies then we do.

Most forums i have joined are international so all english required, i have maybe 2 fora in dutch.

yes about the so called banned games, i agree:

a game wont make you whack some one, only sideeffect you might have would only involve you: like nightmares or so if you saw too many scary movies or so :D

I dont believe that people who see to many violent movies and or play violent games aswell, would be the ones to start whacking all people in the neighborhood.

i also believe that some more common things like simple things: kids who become to fat because they dont exercise enough, is also NOT up to the government to enfore laws too force the kids to have exercies on school...

thats the task of the parents or caretakers of the kids.
Same goes for movies/games, parents are the ones that should moderate the things kids do, government can only warn with the signs like violence , 16plus scene, foul langauge adding to movies and games, rest is up to the parents.

Sounds like the problem of those with kids.

There are people, myself absolutely included, who don't want to have to deal with all the garbage associated with the "we need to protect the kids" perspective.

If I wanted to be concerned with that, I'd probably have had one of the crotchspawn by this point. ;)

I played Mortal Kombat 2, Carmageddon 2 and other gems back then when I was in elementary school and nobody I knew even had an internet connection. How exactly is treating adults like children preventing kids from playing violent games?

Besides, all studies I know of have proven, that violent video games don't make aggressive or violent but difficult ones do, so Flappy Bird has to be stopped right now!

It's not about this at all, it's only about some dwerps with too much power and too few brain saying "I don't like this, it will get banned" and that's it.

This is all so silly.

Why do the dumbest sheep lead the human herd as it seems?
