Well, that was insanity in video game form on the vita sticks. Holding off on the plat until they patch it to fix the broken trophies.

Hah, I actually can't stand that track. Whatever primary synth//sound/key they're using in that song irritates me, lol! Miami Disco is my favorite track in the game. That stage with this music was the moment where the game clicked for me. I was digging it up until that point, but I "got it" when this shit dropped.

"dog lover" and "let some air in" are unobtainable. i don't know exactly what triggers them but the other 3 are possible. i've been trying to get "always on top" but it just won't pop. "get a life" is also messed up as you can get it before getting all A+'s.
I might be misunderstanding it but I thought that
there are other people killing as well, some are the ones you see at the start owl dude and horse face you find some of them dead in the stages and collect masks from their corpses
Oh derp, of course. Dunno why I neglected that detail. I mean, I know
there are other killers out there, but I never put two and two together.
Still not 100% convinced what the deal is with horse face, owl dude and chicken head. Especially
rat man. Isn't he the one that puts you into a coma?

I can't get the "The sound of animals fighting" or whatever it's called trophy.
I've used them all. No avail.

I think that chicken head is jacket, when ever there are flys on the screen its in jackets mind...I think
I beat it earlier today.
Loved every minute of it but I don't think I'll be going back to get all the other trophies or 100% it. I tried but the way it makes you go to the continuing chapter after trying to score better on one is a bit of a drag.
It should really just spit you back to the menu to select another chapter.
That is where it clicked for me too. Sublime. A truly great videogame moment. Fantastic!

I think you're right. The chicken/rooster mask is the first one you get, so I guess that's him being weird in his own head. The Wiki doesn't really shed much light on it, so thanks for humouring me!
Just got the all A+ trophy prematurely. Still gonna do the right thing and finish off the stragglers.
Try it on the other version of the game you aren't playing. It's apparently a sync issue.

I think I'm still missing knife for pros, somehow... :|
Definitely missing the 2 glitched ones and always on top too.

I think you just need to hit a random # of chapters in the vicinity of 14.
It popped for me after I finished Chapter 13 Assault. I may have had 1 A+ somewhere in the biker chapters.
It's 13. Complete 13 chapters with A+ and you get the trophy.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
So it doesn't matter what chapters you choose (even the Biker and Bonus chapters) so long as it's A+?
corrosivefrost
Member
Pretty much.
Agent White didn't have to do chapter 13/14 because he had A+s later on prior to.
Mine popped when I finished 13 (I started back at the beginning and didn't have A+ on anything prior to).
I wish I could get these last two melee trophies to pop so I only had to worry about dogs and panes of glass when it's fixed.

use this melee weapon list to try to get "knife for pros". there's some level specific stuff like the baton, frying pan, pot, and crowbar.

This game was amazing. So glad I got the chance to play it as I don't game on PC. Can't wait for the sequel.

Knowing very little about this game, is it similar to Retro City Rampage? Top down, old school graphics, GTA throwback?

I also got the Get A Life trophy without making the grade on every level. I hope they fix the trophies soon. This will be my first plat!
Makes Retro City Rampage look like pond scum. Level-based ultraviolent mindbending carnage.

End game spoilers, I guess.
When you confront who I'm assuming are Hotline Miami's developers, I couldn't figure out which questions I was going to ask. I couldn't tell which option which highlighted and which wasn't. I'm surprised something like that made it to the final game.
It's quite unlike any game out there. Watch some gameplay vids and you'll see why.
There's nothing "retro" about this game; it feels more like an art direction than a retro throwback.

Those aren't the devs and the questions get ou nowhere no matter what. There is a hidden ending that I rather enjoyed. It envolves finding a hidden item in each of the first 16 levels

Thanks, guys. Also, in regards to this:
I must have missed this detail completely. What are some levels in which I can find this?

...I'm not sure about that. I thought I got those masks just for beating the levels.
I'll admit that I passed this up on PC because it looked like a Grand Theft Auto rip off for kids with short attention spans. Based on all the hype and positive feedback from other GAFers, I decided that my Vita needed to be dusted off and bought this. Holy shit, was I wrong about my assumption.
This is the glorious lovechild of OG GTA, Super Meatboy and Miami Vice....and it couldn't be more fantastic. I really didn't get it at first, but by the third chapter, I was hooked. Kick-ass sound track, fast and furious game play mechanics and the subtly creep factor of knowing your slaughtering people wearing animal masks makes this my surprise hit for the year. This game is aces!

When I first played Loaded! back when it came out, I was really blown away. Just incredible.
Then I played it again in about 2005. It was terrible. Horrible, horrible. Not enjoyable in the least.
Hotline Miami was nothing like that. At least, in my estimation. Hotline Miami is also clever and thoughtful in ways that I think Loaded! could only dream of.
I dunno, I think Jack's on the right lines.
It definitely seemed like the duo had a double-meaning. The non-secret ending is "hey, you did it! You killed everyone and you did it for fun! And we kinda made you do it... just for fun! That's it!" Seems like something two trolling Swedish devs would say

They're obviously
the devs. That's why they talk to you about how it's all a game and an excuse to get you killing.

Just beat it. It was awesome.
If I was an indy dev, this is the game I wish I would have made.

beating the second floor of
seems really hard on vita, due to guns sucking so much on it. The touch screen aim is infuriating.

Use the square button. If you still have problems try the Peter mask.

The square button..? I am a dumbass, I hadn't realized what it did. I ended up shooting the big dudes and hiding in the elevator. For some reason, no one followed me there. But yeah, killing five dudes in a row in free aim, can do, but much more, can't.
Im not 100% on this its just a theory. I assumed that there are other people in masks doing killings and sometimes being killed in the process hence random dead bodies and masks you find throughout the game.For example on push it ch8 you get the Carl mask off the body on the dance floor notice the jacket is similar to the protagonist as well

There is a technique that makes it fairly easy in my opinion. I just punched the two guys out there and killed them (you might have to get the guy to the left to follow you around the corner, otherwise he will just shoot you). This way no other enemy gets alerted. Then pick up the shotgun that one of the guy drops, go to the left, open the door and shoot the big guy. Dont enter the room with the big guy, but go a bit down instead. All the other enemies will come through the door, then you can either shoot them or punch them. This will not alert the guys on the right, even if you shoot. When you have cleared that side, you can go to the right side and take out the 2nd big guy using the same technique. It could be that you can start with the right side and take the left side last as well, i dont think i've tried that.

Only two glitched trophies away from the platinum....
Played about 95% on Vita and I think only two A+ chapters on PS3. The game was glorious on Vita.
I hope Wrong Number is out for PS3/Vita soon after the PC-version (which I will also buy of course ). It would love it if it were out day-and date with PC but I doubt that will happen.

Ugh am I missing something??? It's like I never unlocked the last weapons... I have never seen the brick, scissors and ninja stars in game, I know what they look like but I stopped unlocking weapons after the sledge hammer. I added my points up and I have about 950k so I should have them all unlocked...??? I already have a+ on all the levels on vita

How are the controls? I played a little bit of the PC version, and am considering double dipping.

My advice would be to first re-equip the Russel mask and see if it pops. I had to use it twice for some reason. I also don't know if you have to just wear them or actually complete a level with it to count; I'm assuming it's the former though. Still, I chose "No Talk" as my chapter and finished it wearing every mask I knew I hadn't completed a level with (it's super short). Still nothing. I equipped Russel again and boom. It popped.
I'm stil missing the 3 confirmed glitched ones (Dog Lover, Let in some air, Always on Top),
Edit: Gun Show popped just now. It was apparently a syncing issue. I re-sync'd, loaded up "Decadence" and just kept running through there until all the guns (except for the MP5 and Silenced Uzi) spawned and it popped.
Those two in particular are really easy to miss, the brick especially because of its size and color. I'd suggest firing up chapter three ("Decadence") as it's a great place to get all kinds of weapon spawns. The two place that will spawn weapons are in the center space just past the first mobster, and the room directly above where you start the level. Just start it up and take a peek. If what you're looking for isn't there, die and restart. You also shouldn't forget about the Frying Pan in kitchen in "Full House" or the Pot (both with the boiling water and without it) in "Overdose" or "Neighbors".

Load any level, choose a mask, run up to the first enemy, die. Restart mission. Next mask.
Got my trophy like this.

Is it possible to play the later levels and using a mask?
I havnt played the PC version, but i have no problem with the Vita controls at least. There is also a lock on mechanic that makes it easier to hit enemies.
I did it like this and the trophy didnt pop for me :\ After that i completed a level with every mask and i got the trophy. However, i see that someone above here mentioned that he had to equip the Russel mask twice, maybe i only had to do that myself to get the trophy, because i think i got the trophy when i got to the Russel mask
which is the last mask in the list, and i played through the levels starting with the mask on top and working my way down on the list.
