Hotline Miami

[-Deno-]

şu adam anlatmış detaylı, en mantıklı bu geldi ama çok fazla tereddüt ettiren yer var,

The gameplay starts on July 21st, when the protagonist enters the coma. From there, he is reliving the events leading from April 3rd up to present day. I will detail what actually ends up happening, because, as you will see, things get a little chronologically ambiguous.

But first, lets call the protagonist Richard. This is the name of the rooster mask, and throughout the game, he is the clear voice in the midst of confusion. He details what will happen next, he hints at the reason it will happen, and he knows everything, past, present, and future, as the cold, hard facts. There is no emotion muddying his perception (The horse is overly kind, the owl is lost in denial), and beyond that, he was the turning point in the psyche of the protagonist. Richard is as close to the sane, normal state-of-mind as we ever see in the character.

So we'll call him Richard.

Anyway, it starts with Richard signing up for the hotline assassination agency, '50 Blessings,' for untold, and unimportant reasons. I initially thought that the loss of his girlfriend would spur him in this decision, but it's important to note this: There is NO GIRLFRIEND in the picture yet.

Richard performs each task, as assigned, and we can see him start to change. He finds new masks (A point I'll return to later), becomes hardened to the deaths of others, and starts to enjoy it. His first job ends in him vomiting, a result of the stress and guilt of taking another life, but this fades quickly, and he is soon killing many, many more people.

As this progresses, however, the guilt grows. Richard starts seeing the faces of those he killed- A common symptom, given the circumstances. Since this is all occurring within the coma-dream, though, these faces are very real manifestations, and we end up seeing irritable corpses everywhere. Dead, but still living.

In addition to these living corpses, we end up seeing that his friend (The store/movie rental/bar guy) is dead at each and every place, and in his place, is the man that will later attempt to kill Richard. What I'm expecting a lot of people to miss is that this man, whom I will call Richter (Due to the mask that portrays him later), is the same man as the "friend."

The coma started as an escape from reality. Everyone was friendly, the jobs were easy, and life was good. Part of this illusion is the existence of the "friend," which is simply a visual manifestation of the general populace (That is, at this point, portrayed as very friendly). As things worsen, though, and the corpses start talking, the world no longer feels believable. When a dream becomes too bizarre, we wake up. Reality starts showing through.

So on top of the talking corpses, the "friend" is revealed to be Richter, as he really is, and the image of the general populace falls into a rather hostile persona. In a metaphorical sense, Richter killing the "friend" expresses reality destroying the dream state.

Richard is eventually tasked with killing the motorcyclist, since he is coming close to finding '50 Blessings' base of operations. So he does this, but then they're left with a loose end. Richard has been to the very facility that will lead to the '50 Blessings' operations. If he starts asking questions, he'll have significantly less to go. So they send Richter after him, to kill him in his own apartment. Nothing could lead back to the phone company; it's just another job. So Richter gets in, finds Richard is not there, and, in the same way as the protagonist, kills everyone there anyway: Meaning, the girlfriend.

Richard discovers this, and in his guilt and pain at the loss, shoots himself.

Yes, himself. Not Richter. Throughout the coma-dream, every masked person represents another side of Richard. The horse is optimistic, the owl is pessimistic, and every other mask you collect along the way is just another identity; another mindset. It logically follows that, before each assignment, Richard puts on a different mask: A different mindset, a different identity, needed to get the job done. So when "Richter" shoots Richard, it is only the vilification of that side of him, changing his mindset to do what he needs to do.

So, in shooting himself, Richard escapes the reality of the loss of his girlfriend. This brings us around full circle, to the start of the coma-induced reliving of the past. The "friend" apologizes for his loss in the first chapter, referring to the only bit of reality still present in Richard's mind. After that, he is lost in the dream world.

Everything after awaking from the coma is exactly as it appears: Richard comes to the realization that it was Richter (The real one) that killed his girlfriend and seeks revenge. Arriving at the cell, he learns that they were both operating under the same orders from '50 Blessings,' and, following the police lead, tracks them down.

The only problem being that they use spoofed numbers to further their agenda (Which is expressed in the second ending). Their whole system is specifically designed to throw the cops off, and in this case, Richard, who goes on to kill a Russian mob boss: All furthering '50 Blessings' ominous agenda. In the end he really made no difference, just as the Richard mask told him.

yeni bitirdim, çok güzel oyundu. soundtrack falan müthiş.

yalnız oyunun hikayesini, plot twist'ini, sonunu tam olarak anlayamadım. okudum birkaç yazı ama oralarda da epey karışık anlatmış ve kesin değil.

Sadece ilk oyunu bitirdiysen hikayesi tam olarak yeterli değil. Çok fazla açık nokta var. O yüzden olayı tam kavrayabilmek için kesinlikle ikinci oyunuda bitirmelisin. Taşlar tam olarak ikinci oyunla birlikte yerine oturuyor. Yinede özellikle benim gibi ara vererek oynuyorsan oynarken anlamanız zor oluyor. Hikaye lineer şekilde ilerlemiyor farklı karakterlerle anachronic bir şekilde devam ediyor. Hangi tarihlerde ne oldu not alıp en son nerede ne oldu puzzle gibi birleştirmek lazım.

Benim gibi uğraşamam diyorsan burda adamın teki uğraşıp birleştirmiş okuyunca hikayeyi cillop gibi anlıyorsun.

[arcane]

ikinci oyunda tony silah kullanamiyor :( patatoe

[axedice]

İkinci oyun olmadan hikayeyi anlayamıyorsun, hani ilk oyunda puzzle ı çözsen bile hiç bahsedilmeyen çok detay var. Smartgun ın linklediği baya güzel açıklamış zaten.

İlk oyun puzzlesız bittiğinde game mame muhabbeti döndüğü için millet varoluşçu yorumlarla yok işte oyun dünyadaki ve oyunlardaki şiddeti mi sorguluyor falan bi ton saçmalamıştı

[-Deno-]

puzzle hiçbir şey ifade etmiyor ya. puzzle'ı çözmediğin için hikayeyi anlamadın falan yok yani.

[axedice]

Wut? Hayvan gibi değiştiriyor oyun sonunu, 50 blessings adını puzzle olmadan duymuyorsun ki? Anca dalga geçiyor janitorler.
