Not at all; the best way to approach Hotline Miami is that it's an ultra-violent puzzle game.
This game really did seem like it was always destined for the Vita; they did a great job with the port.

Whats the replay value of this? Are the levels randomly generated or pre set? Gonna buy either way.
You're forgetting it's cross-save as well. But I dunno if you MUST be signed into PSN the first boot/save creation or not. The wording says yes, but I haven't tried it otherwise.
That and the lock-on makes the portable version really wonky. The PS3 version is great otherwise because it doesn't require a touch-screen for two button functions.
(The best I've done is a 4x combo so far because I keep getting shot while trying to lock on to enemies since the free-aim is wonky on the portable version)

Definitely. Just let your murder instinct take over.

Picked this up last night for the PS3 and damn it plays wonderfully.
I am wondering though, with the lock-on feature, is the R-stick (Aim) really used all that much? Even with a few guys in the room it's a simple matter of snap-locking them without having to meticulously aim my weapon.
Also, I bought the soundtrack months ago and love it but actually playing the game while it grooves in the background is unbelievable. So much fun.

Umm the music is fucking fantastic, the atmosphere, and the gameplay is really fun as well. Its very trial and error, but when when you get going on a streak it feels very rewarding.
These will probably unlock, though!

Not the biggest fan of dragging/tapping to lock (eats too much time), but everything else is sublime on the Vita. The gory bits come out crystal clear on that OLED -- enough to make me question if I'm sick in the head.

Been waiting for this coming to Vita for a while. Too bad for them the maintenance is also todayThat can't feel good...
Yeah, but Sony did try to assuage the situation a bit by updating the store before the maintenance went into effect. Of course, depending on what time zone you live in that probably didn't mean jack :\ I was able to download it around 10:30PM PST (6:30AM GMT) last night.
It's depressing 'cause it's true.

I lost sleep from playing this last night. So great.
Well, like the PS3 version there's square to lock. The problem is locking onto things you want quickly to get a combo. Half the time it locks onto an off-screen enemy instead of the one near the door I want to get and then the one on the couch that I'm mad rushing for before they get up. It locks onto an enemy in another room instead of the "closet threat" and then I eat a shotgun from the couch enemy.

Unimaginably hyped. Time to beat it a third time! (PC, Mac, now PS3)

I just checked the Steam achievement list against my PS3 trophy list and it looks like they are all the same accept that the "Achievement Whore" achievement has been renamed "Trophy Addict" for the platinum.
Also, just in case anybody cares, the hidden trophies on your PS3/Vita list are obviously not hidden on the Steam list. Some are story related, some aren't. Just fair warning.

Double-dipped and it feels oh so good!
Went to play on public transportation this morning and it told me that if I didn't connect to PSN when first playing the game I couldn't transfer cloud saves. It used the word "must" so I felt like it was THEN or NEVER.

Amusingly, the trophy list for Hotline Miami hasn't actually gone live yet on the PSN servers, so any trophies you do earn can only be observed locally. They still up your percentage, though, so no need to fret there.
As far as I can tell, though, it's as you described: Steam achievements with the platinum.

You're many many MANY hours late.
It was updated last night
Haha, oops
I skipped this on PC but bought it last night and stayed up way too late playing it. One problem I'm having is that my ranks seem to be pretty low (C to B+, a couple As). Is it more important to change up how you take dudes out, or more important to go quickly and keep a combo going?
I was getting C and C+ by playing slow and tactical. Aggressive is probably the way to go.
This time i'm hoping to play through without relying too much on Don Juan.
Got to play balls out madman style this time. No cowering!
Levels are preset. But there's some replay value on challenging yourself doing better times/scores on the levels, using different masks and searching for secrets.

Very glad I picked this up, and they managed to make the pricing perfect with 1 purchase for PS3 and Vita versions.
The game is as good as I knew it'd be after admiring it from afar. My laptop is great at compression, Pro Tools tasking, and other general computing but terrible with graphics so it was never an option to get this on PC.
All I can say is I hope more of the indie goodness from the past few years from Steam find their way to the Vita and PSN.

There is a bit of a random element to the levels, though, especially with the weapon loadout resetting every time you die, as well as the short-range wandering enemies occasionally not being strictly set to a boundary inside of their room.

I completed the game on the PC already without using the lock-on once. Its for pansies who cant aim! ;D
Had no idea i could do that (lock on or explore). lol I'm already around 4-5 levels in.

Edit: The trophy list is working properly now, and it's a single trophy list.
Anyway, played the Vita version some more and I really wish they came up with a better solution for look/lock than the front screen. The back screen would've worked better, IMO ... like the virtual L2/R2 buttons in PS1 games.

Touch aiming is great. I only use it for the first guy in any room but it's really nice.
