Correct in terms of story content. It depends what you mean by "mission"; the "Police Protection Pack" includes an "exclusive High Speed police mission".

Just anything I can do, not just a clothes pack I suppose.

In that case you'll want [note: I don't know if you can unlock these missions in-game or if they're exclusive to the DLC, I would assume exclusive as on some DLC descriptions it is stated content can be unlocked through regular play]:
- Nightmare in Northpoint [Story]
- Zodiac Tournament [Story]
- Police Protection Pack [Additional cop missions]
- Street Racer Pack [Additional races]
- Triad Enforcer Pack [Horde mode]
- The SWAT pack [Additional cop missions]
Ah alright thanks
Think I'll get Nightmare/Zodiac and maybe Police Protection, and get the others in a sale maybe.

well, TF2 is getting its first promotional action item, and since there's no way to craft those, this might be the only way to get the taunt. It might be worth 5-10 dollars later.
It was admittedly influenced by Drive, the director of the movie is even mentioned in the credits.

Hotline Miami is better than Drive on almost every level.

What did you think of the characters/writing/humor/quest design?
Its weird, there's stuff in the writing I really liked and stuff that was pretty awful. The main thing I liked storywise is how they fleshed out the characters from the previous game and how it really made it feel connected and a true sequel rather than new Borderlands with new characters.
The humor was sometimes good and sometimes too LE HUMOR, but honestly there wasnt as many meme references as people say. For example Handsome Jack was great, Tiny Tina was a bit on the annoying, loud and just pure bad side.
The quests re pretty standard for this type of game. The ones that are more fun and memorable are because of the writing itself and not specifically for the actions you're doing. There's some stuff that felt extra boring soloing instead of playing it as it was clearly meant to be. Felt like single player MMO stuff, but there werent THAT many of those.
The game does a good job at making some of the side stuff seem pretty important. There's a lot of character development for stuff you could completely miss, so I never felt like skipping any of them. There's some good set pieces as well.
All in all I think its a lot better than the first one if only because the story's more fleshed out and there's an actually fun antagonist this time, and it's probably one of the best sequels in terms of connecting the whole thing with the previous games. Charactes come back, you meet relatives of old characters, you visit old but changed places, etc.
It's good, the hate is a bit overblown, and that comes from someone who didnt play it in the best way possible. Im sure I could give it a pass in most of its shortcomings if I was playing with another 3 friends
a bit long though.
I let myself to be convinced to buy it, so you should do the same.
Does anybody know if the TF2 items will be automatically added to my inventory, or do I have to run that game to get them? I don't have it installed, and wouldn't like to have to download 12 GB just to get 2 or 3 hats.
you have to run it to actually get them but there's no time limit, next time you open up TF2 they'll be there

Come on guys, Drive is a masterpiece (and Hotline Miami too). The slow pace completely fits what Refn wanted to do, and serves the movie.

The third act completely destroyed Drive for me.
The third act of Hotline Miami elevated it to godlike status.

I'm not even hating but that pic always gets me, haha.
On-topic, I just saw this and thought it was pretty cool:

So I can do it in 2 or 3 years and they'll still be there? That's good to know, I'm in no hurry to download that behemoth then.
After seeing this image, "Deep cover" immediately started ringing in my ears. Amazing track, amazing game and amazing pic you posted there.

Todd Howard? Don't really get the Bethesda hate on GAF. I'm going to assume it's salty PS3 owners.
Welcome to the exclusive club. This might end up being more rare than the earbuds, considering all of the posts I see with the most convoluted ways of trying to not install Linux for real, and resorting to virtual machines and USB installs.

Damn. I need that penguin.
I had zero luck trying install Linux alongside Windows, so I used VMWare and downloaded the game overnight. It didn't even launch (no actual display drivers were installed, so Steam spat back an OpenGL error), but evidently that doesn't matter.
Just picked up FTL and ...... HOLY SHIT this game is amazing!!!! Built this brand new beast of a computer and caught myself spending 3 and a half hours last night playing this little gem before bed. Also just got steam and im looking for friends on there!!! My ID is SnakeVargas86.

Drive is the best movie I've seen in a long, long time.
Hotline Miami is one of the most addicting and fun games I've played in a long, long time.
They both have a lot of violence.
And that's about it in terms of comparisons for me.
Gonna try it out this weekend, I hope that it will be worth it in the end.
But there's no Ryan GODsling in HLM
Nah, Fallout 3 sucks compared to the old ones, thank god for wasteland 2...
you only need to install tf2 right?Also when will cs go linux going to be released? valve should release l4d2 and cs go asap...
You have to attempt to run it, too. As I said it doesn't matter if you're successful or not, Valve just has to know you clicked the "Play" button.
Given the stealth releases of Half-Life and CS 1.6 I wouldn't expect a preceding announcement.

Damn you guys, I want that penguin as well.
They made up for it by bringing Obsidian on board to develop Fallout: New Vegas.

Ah yeah that's the last one I used now that I think about it! Thanks will use that as well.
D'oh, I wish I was aware of this when I bought those Codemasters games.
Thanks JaseC, helpful as always
No worries.
Edit: I almost forgot to buy Sherlock Holmes.
