Plot [ edit ]

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number takes place up in a heavily anachronistic order before n' afta tha eventz of tha original, focusin mo' on tha latta between October n' December 1991. Durin tha eventz of Hotline Miami, tha playaz character, "Jacket," is unwittingly manipulated tha fuck into cappin' off tha leadershizzle of tha Russian Mob by 50 Blessings, a neo-nationalist terror cell dat masquerades as a laid back activist group. Da persona of "Richard", a mysterious git into in a roosta mask dat occasionally rocked up ta Jacket up in tha original gangsta game, appears at different points ta most of tha gamez playable characters.[7] Da playa controls these dudes up in a seriez of intersectin plotlines explorin both tha background n' tha aftermath of Jacketz rampage.

Afta his bangin rampage, Jacket has been arrested n' brought ta trial. It aint nuthin but tha nick nack patty wack, I still gots tha bigger sack yo. Dude has gained nationistic notoriety as a result of his crazy-ass macabre n' freaky freaky mass murders, committed while bustin rubber animal masks; tha gamez tutorial level takes place up in a slasher film adaptation depictin his ass as "Da Pig Butcher", up in which his bangin rescue of a thugged-out sticky-icky-icky-addled sex slave durin tha straight-up original gangsta game is re-envisioned as a lurid rape n' kidnappin scene. Da filmz star, Martin Brown, be a sociopathic sadist whoz ass relishes at bein able ta act up his violent fantasies durin filming. Martin takes a thugged-out dirt nap early up in tha game when accidentally blasted wit live ammunizzle on set durin tha blastin of tha filmz final scene fo' realz. A journalist, Evan Wright, is freestylin a funky-ass book bout Jacketz spree n' tryin ta learn mo' bout tha playas behind dat shit. Evan is given leadz from Manny Pardo, a psychotic five-o detectizzle whoz ass uses his thugged-out lil' posizzle ta go on cappin' sprees durin stakeout operations, justifyin dem as self-defense.

Da Fans, five thrill-seekin killaz whoz ass is emulatin Jacketz spree, carry up a strang of murdaz against petty crooks n' sticky-icky-icky dealers, unaware of tha larger context of Jacketz campaign of shit. Eventually they bust a cap up in a gangbangin' forma henchman of tha Russian Mafia, now run by tha original gangsta boss' son, n' when tha Son attempts ta rehook tha fuck up wit holla'd henchman tha Fans follow his call ta battle his freshly smoked up hideout. Da Fans is all capped durin dis attack; they last survivor, Tony, is personally capped by Pardo afta surrenderin ta tha police, ta deny his ass his "fifteen minutez of fame."

Da rap of Da Soldier, tha bearded convenience store balla from tha previous game, shows his ass fightin a war against tha Soviet Union up in Hawaii alongside Jacket up in 1985, prior ta tha straight-up original gangsta gamez events fo' realz. Tha Ghetto appears ta be losin dis fictitious war, wit ghettos n' islandz fallin ta tha Soviet Red Army. Da Soldierz elite Commando unit has been engaged up in a cold-ass lil campaign of deep penetration harassment against Russian fortifications n' supply depots, however they mo' n' mo' n' mo' detached n' psychologically shitd Colonel appears ta be losin his wild lil' freakadelic grip on realitizzle as tha war proceeds, volunteerin dem fo' mo' n' mo' n' mo' desperate n' fucked up missions while ruminatin on they likely impendin dirtnaps n' tha loss of tha war. Shiiit, dis aint no joke. Their last assignment involves besiegin a heavily guarded Juice Plant controlled by tha Russians fo' realz. As they make they way tha fuck into tha building, tha Soviet commander up in charge of it, havin apparently gone insane, murdaz tha plantz technicians n' begins a meltdown on tha main reactor before blastin his dirty ass up in tha head. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Da Soldier saves Jacketz game durin they escape attempt, afta a funky-ass booby trap explodes n' severely injures two thugz of they unit includin Jacket yo, but lata takes a thugged-out dirt nap up in 1986 durin a nuclear strike on San Frankieco which decisively terminates tha war, revealin his thugged-out appearances up in tha previous game ta be Jacketz comatose hallucinations.

Da game also bigs up two other 50 Blessings agents from tha original gangsta game, Jake n' Richter n' shit. Jake, a virulently nativist Downtown patriot, realizes tha officially-peaceful 50 Blessings organization is givin his ass his ordaz when he meets wit one of they representatives, whoz ass denies every last muthafuckin thang fo' realz. Afterwards, he is busted on a suicizzle mission, which tha playa is given one chizzle ta succeed on. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. If tha playa fails he is captured, tortured, n' eventually capped by tha Russian Mafia, n' if da perved-out muthafucka succeedz 50 Blessings takes his ass ta a safehouse n' kills his ass anyway ta silence his muthafuckin ass. Richter, tha agent whoz ass capped Jacketz hoe, is revealed ta be reluctant ta work wit 50 Blessings until they threaten his thugged-out ailin mutha n' shit. Like Jacket, Richta is captured n' imprisoned yo, but manages ta escape durin a prison riot orchestrated by 50 Blessings durin which other incarcerated thugz was ta bust a cap up in his ass ta keep his ass from corroboratin Jacketz testimony.

In 1991, tha escaped Richta drops some lyrics ta his rap ta Evan up in exchange fo' plane tickets fo' his crazy-ass mutha ta come ta Hawaii. Evanz marriage n' finances, however, is under heat as da perved-out muthafucka spendz mo' time hustlin on his book, n' tha playa must chizzle whether he abandons tha book or his crew.

Da final act of tha game is centered on tha Son, whoz ass is tryin ta reclaim his wild lil' fatherz empire from Colombian thugs whoz ass filled tha juice vacuum tha oldschool boss' dirtnap left. Pardo also appears, havin a nightmare revealin his dirty ass ta be tha "Miami Mutilator", a serial killa dat schmoooove muthafucka has supposedly been hunting. Fearful of his colleagues catchin on ta his crimes, Pardo boardz his dirty ass up in his crib fo' realz. Afta tha Son eliminates tha Colombians, he invites his oldschool henchman ta git on over ta they freshly smoked up hideout, inadvertently givin away his fuckin location ta tha Fans n' triggerin tha battle depicted earlier n' shit. Under tha hallucinatory influence of his own designer sticky-icky-ickys he goes on a rampage, cappin' tha superhuman monstas da perved-out muthafucka sees tha Fans as, then struttin off tha hideoutz roof on a rainbow bridge ta his thugged-out apparent dirtnap.

An epilogue shows Richter, reunited wit his crazy-ass mother, hearin on tha shizzle dat tha Gangsta n' Soviet prezs was both assassinated up in a attempted coup d'état, wit tha prime suspect bein a Gangsta general. It aint nuthin but tha nick nack patty wack, I still gots tha bigger sack. Da Soviet Union declares dis a act of war, n' launches nuff muthafuckin atomic attacks against tha United Hoodz which obliterate Miami n' Hawaii. Each of tha survivin charactas is then shown up in they last moments - Manny, Evan, tha playette from Midnight Animal, n' finally Jacket ridin' solo up in a prison cell - before bein obliterated by tha bombs. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Subsequently, startin a freshly smoked up game addz a extra introductory scene where Slick Rick berates tha playable charactas for, once again, startin down a path dat can only end up in they dirtnaps.

Rape depiction controversy [ edit ]

Da demo shown at Rezzed n' tha 2013 Penny Arcade Expo featured gameplay up in tha tutorial dat had playas step tha fuck up ta attempt ta assault a biatch sexually as tha Pig Butcher n' shit. Da playa characta lowered his baggy-ass pants n' straddled tha biatch before tha scene is interrupted by tha director of Midnight Animal, revealin tha whole sequence ta be a gangbangin' film blast.

Video game journalists, includin Cara Ellison of PC Gamer, was rappin up against tha usage of horny-ass assault imagery.[26] In response, Dennis Wedin stated dat Dennaton cut tha scene from tha demo, n' dat they was rethankin bout puttin tha scene tha fuck into tha final game. Wedin also stated dat they cut tha scene short ta show dat that type of shiznit aint what tha fuck tha Hotline Miami series be about.[27]

On 15 January 2015 dat shiznit was reported dat cuz of tha implied rape scene, tha game had been refused classification up in Australia, which prohibits sale within tha ghetto, effectively preventin its wide release there.[28] In a straight-up legit statement from Devolver Digital n' Dennaton Game tha creators mentioned dat they have added a cold-ass lil cut n' uncut option fo' tha slasher-flick level. Dennaton also reconfirmed dat tha context of tha scene is blingin n' dat they was "concerned n' pissed tha fuck off" by tha actionz of tha Classification Board, statin it stretched tha facts up in its judgment of tha game.
