The Most Disgusting Video Game of All Time: Hotline Miami.

It’s reminiscent of old Grand Theft Auto games, but Hotline Miami is in a league of its own. It tricks you into thinking it’s cute, but don’t be fooled, it's one of the most gruesome and bloody video games of all time.

This is like watching an overgrown toddler talk about why he likes playing with his favorite ball.

To simplify: Hotline Miami is an amazing fucking game

[klekykleky]

If you played the game, you would realize that this game actually condemns violence and constantly berates and questions the players morality. Each few set of levels.

Pro tip: if game journalists hate it, it’s probably amazing

[ironhart]

The game is never remotely deluding you into thinking it's "cute". The very first thing you do upon hitting "start game" is execute three unarmed men in a tutorial. Unless you go out of your way to avoid it by heading into "chapters" first, that prologue defines the tone of the game from the onset.

This is the embodiment of someone not knowing what they're talking about.

"most disgusting video game of all time" not even close

[andrewnguyen]

I love how when he describes the part where you go back and look at all the dead bodies without questioning if that was the point. To look back at all you've done. It goes with the story.

I hate titles like that...
So much bait.

[TheGodlike]

I hated the guy, when he called it 'techno music'

[WackyPizzaMan_]

That moment when the tutorial forced me to kill three mobsters in an alleyway really tricked me into thinking that this game is cute am i right

[Nano-hwgn]

"It sucks getting killed by the last guy by missing the shot" so who is gonna tell him about locking to a target

[Visions]

Assassin's Creed is much more disturbing. Annual releases and they can't manage to get a game to work on launch *shudder*

[velcity_personal]

"the most disturbing game of all time, " not even close.
"it tricks you into thinking it's cute." how...? did you somehow see nothing about this game or even the steam page before playing, and then also skip the tutorial?
"the level is rotating, and it's rotating back and fourth." uh, no...
"and there's techno music playing, " aight now you've just admitted to not even playing the game at this point.

I thought this was a late april fools joke

[jondoe]

imagine going into a game all about sociopathy, extreme nationalism, guilt, and philosophy of murder and not getting any of it, and then calling yourself a reviewer

[Sanguinary]

There one question in the game, one line that fucks over everything he said about the violence,

“Do you like hurting other people?”
