"Leaving this world is not as scary as it sounds." - Richard

[CllMrrol]

I like the use of this song, making the score board much darker.
"Think of your sins".

[homerit]

Those feelings when this starts playing after deatwish scene :, (

[DanteDMCSparda]

"Wait I heard strange sound outside of the store, I call you later"
-Beard

[goodninja]

"It's just a film..."
"Please..I just wanna go home"
"What are you waiting for!?"
"Gotta get a grip"
"Nah I'm calling in sick today"
"Okay. No need to fight it then"

*Leaving this world is not as scary as it sounds*
"

[ozziebattler]

Best feeling after every level to hear this.

[Jakihro]

Speaking of the game making you feel bad, anyone else remember the soviet POWs after the first level with Beard? Those 5 guys watching their comrade get beaten to a pulp?
I really like the detail of the one soldier watching who just openly weeps as he's being held at gunpoint.
Seems like a pretty overlooked scene, though.

[ErrorDataNotFound]

love how the music title is foreshadowing the ending.

Soundtrack comments are like a bar of broken heroes. Every person who completed hotline Miami visit this place. Everyone leaves some quotes, 50b spray or some depressed words. It's kinda funny seeing that comments are ranged from 5 years to 1 day ago. People still love hotline miami and player counter grows every day. If you haven't checked its soundtrack that means that you haven't felt the game

High five to let the others hang out here

When I hear this song I always recall the Son just having killed his entire mob and most of the Fans on a drug-induced murder spree, walking towards the edge of the building to his own death which he was completely unaware of. Main character deaths in HM2 are handled in such a nonchalant yet intriguing way. It really reinforces the feeling of senseless and abrupt violence that nobody will escape from. This song perfectly encapsulates the indifference of the slaughter in Hotline.

[lhays]

C- Rating?!?! Are you fucking kidding me! I swore I got at least 4 10x combos on that level! This game is bullshit...

*continues playing until 3 in the morning*

The score music in Hotline Miami is more cheerful, because Jacket wanted to do everything. He was mentally unstable and was doing what he believed was for revenge. Now in Hotline Miami 2, it's more somber and moody because most characters didn't want to kill. And even the ones who did enjoy killing (the Fans) still had enough mental stability to see how fucked up they all were. This is all up for debate.

2020 Edit: Very nice to see this still causing discussion almost four years later.

2024 edit: 8 years and still getting replies. This is why I love this community. Still weird seeing something I wrote as a freshman being engaged with. My opinion shifted quite a bit on my own words.

What is left after a nuclear explosion?
Dust

[mhm]

HM1: Wow, dude, you slaughtered a lot of russians, cool job, bro!
HM2: You should be ashamed, bro...

[Kirby]

It's amazing how much contrast this has when compared to the post-level theme of the first game. Despite sounding similar, it gives off a completely different vibe. Hotline Miami 1's made it sound like you were being rewarded for everything wrong you did, where you could really feel the dissonance. This one, especially right after you watch the fans mutilate the Mafia dude... Well, damn, son.

"Leaving this world is not as scary as it sounds."

[jouska]

HM1: you play as a chicken bastard and a delivery boy and both survive
HM2: you play as 11 characters and none survived

[shiro]

Jacket didn't understand what Richards message was.
Vichter did and accepted it.
The Fans tried to be memorable, they did but they ended up the same fate.
Son was corrupted with his power and ended with his downfall.
Jake figured out the truth but the truth never is good.
Evan found himself stuck between two things that either way led to his death.
Manny wanted his fame like The Fans but it ended up destroying him and everyone around him.
The Henchmans greed led to him being left and abandoned.
Every choice in Hotline Miami 1 and 2 reflects on you and the antagonists choices it truly shows what everyone behind the screen is "Monsters that love violence were all animals" - Cournel

Dust is just a song that gives you this feeling, something was over, but it's bittersweet, as the guy with the top comment said "in the end, there's nothing but dust"

[Darth_Bateman]

That's right, think about what you've done.
