Hotline Miami - Minor Characters
HTML-код

- While Hotline Miami has a reputation for having bombastic music with bright colors, the stories of the main cast is pretty tragic. This tragedy bleeds down and affects the minor characters of the series as well. Here are a few characters in the series that succumb to the adversity.
I probably messed Carl up too... Lol.

It was actually confirmed in an interview with Dennaton that it was Jacket, not the girl, who started cleaning up his apartment for her. A small detail, but it really helps further cement the idea that Jacket found a new purpose with her. It's a shame that it was taken away from him.
You have the link for the interview my dude?
@@DrNemirovsky thanks bro 👍
Well like beard said "things never go how you want them to"
Neat
@@person92906 perhaps jackets sociopathy
I like this character.
*He dies*
What it means to be a Hotline Miami fan.
Tru.
_E V E R Y O N E D I E S_
Thats hotline Miami in a nutshell
All of them die, if only the walking deads producers had the same balls as these guys
*everyone dies*
0:54
"Killing the man, and his interrogators"
Don't forget my eardrums
Me, on my first playthrough: oh this looks like an easy level, this guy is wearing a mask like me so it means I have to rescue him. I just gotta-
*EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
Dude that scared the shit outta of me when it blew jesus fuck
Brooooo I was in a discord call with my friend when I blew it up for the first time and I had to throw my headphones off it was so loud, and my friend could hear it super loud too
Our eardrums
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Dude I can't explain how much I love this game.
It really is awesome, huh? Lol.
i just played it for a few hours and got my first perfect combo
Xxx_gaben_xxX Nice dude!
+Chikim Gomes thanks
You love it so good, it's bad!
I really like to think all Carl was going to say is
"This is my rifle."
Like he was planning just to drill at them.
Russians: *aim their rifles at Carl*
Carl: "this is my rifle" *pulls the trigger on the drill a few times before getting shot down*
Most of the people 50 blessings used were ex military so it makes sense why he would say it
also, the carl story is actually meant to be a side plot but was later confirmed by dennaton to be canon
love how much thins guy cares about his consumers, to the point where he released a patch to a pirated version of the game
totally worth my money
Yeah, it was pretty awesome by the developers to make that canon!
I remember hearing he told people in Australia to pirate the game since they couldn't play it. I was really impressed by that. These guys are awesome!
Dennaton is actually 2 people.
Dennis
And
Jonathan. (I think it was Jonathan.)
WAT'
Yuno Gasai now I want them to go in Detail on why carl decide to f****** flip on 50 blessings anyways, this also really drives home the point that many of the fifty blessings operatives are skitzophrenic or mentally unstable
These guys are the exact opposite if EA.
"Fuck the money. If people want to enjoy my game, let em. Oh, what's that? I'm gonna make less money by thinking like that? Please refer to my statement."
Definitely cares more about fans than money. And that earns a shitload of my respect.
“This is my rifle-“
Carl made a Full Metal Jacket reference into his very last words.
it just means that he’s a Marine, it’s the rifleman creed.
@@lveloxl
He could have put a dent into 50 blessings directly.
That is NOT a movie reference
I found the relationship between Jacket and the girl to be bittersweet. It started out sad, became something special, then ended tragically. I loved the symbolism (At least I think it was symbolic) when the apartment was getting cleaner. It kind of felt like she was positively affecting Jacket's mental state. I also thought it was the cutest thing when they moved their beds together. When the prediction was made that he was going to lose someone close to him, I immediately knew he was talking about the girl. I thought she was gonna be kidnapped, I never knew she was gonna be killed.
You forgot to mention that Dennis retroactively declared the comic canon after reading it.
I sure did. I'm terrible at this now. Lol.
Chad.
You won't believe me but the romance with that girl jacket rescues hooked me to the game a lot. I was so mad when she was killed by Richter
I believe it! If you don't mind me asking, why do you like it so much?
Yeah, that's a pretty upsetting scene.
Squatch Gaming Official Like you mention in the video the details in this. The little things that changed when jacket rescued her. It's felt real but it's also easy to overlook. I meant I felt happy that jacket had something. At the start he had no memories and a small apartment and it seems that the only thing he had was 50 blessing which changed with that girl. Probably the reason why 50 blessing wanted her dead.
I think you put it really well. It's touching! :)
Carl was like jacket 2.0 rip :(
:(
Nah, he actually knew what was happening and didn't like it, but instead of running away like Biker he decided to change it somehow, knowing that he wasn't able to do anything sacrificed himself for justice, he was more of a Rorschach. Jacket on the other hand was F U C K I N G pissed at russians, and didn't care about who made the calls or why, but that's OK
Axl4325 why is he pissed at the russians?
Russians nuked San Fran which killed beard who was Jacket's best friend that with him being a soldier who was injured by them and saw many others killed by them probably caused him to develop hatred towards the Russians.
;(
I love the idea of jacket and the girl just forming a relationship in complete silence
I feel bad for jacket. Mans found a new purpose, but Richter said,
*fire sensitivity 200*
Carl's death is a shame considering how he has one of the most fun masks to play with.
But if he never died we wouldn't have been able to play as the mask.
Leaving the world is not as scary as it sounds
I can't wait to see a video called: "Hotline Miami - Richard"
ruclips.net/video/wf8r_wg1Idc/видео.html
Considering the blood trail "Jones" has left, it's more likely that something along the lines of the "Blessed: Redux" storyline happened.
I LOVE CARL NOW
He is pretty cool! ;)
Squatch Gaming Official 😁 love your vids man
Thanks, man! Glad to hear you enjoy them! :)
T-wexx xAlex He reminds me of Rorschach.
Is his mask a praying mantis
5:05 I'm sorry but this is wrong. It's actually jacket that's the one cleaning the house. In an interview with the developers jontan said that jacket is like him and jontan had a shitty place too so when he got a girlfriend he started to tidy up his place all because that girl was there and that's why it's in the game
Yeah, some other people have pointed that out too. You live and learn! Thanks for sharing! :)
And don't be sorry. If no one ever told me, I would have never known!
Edit: No longer a shit post. After 3 days, HD finally processed and it's now available!
Alright, apparently this is a shit post (pardon the French) because even though I uploaded it in HD, it's only showing in 360p. Sorry about that. Dislike the video.
But its a pretty good shitpost
(Excuse my profanity)
it's a pixelated game i can barely tell the difference
OMG you uploaded a video about an 8-bit game in only 360p? How dare you!? I play HM2 only in 4K or above!
Can you make a video showing all of the warnings that guy in the rooster mask (I think it's Richard) gave to all characters?
Do one on highball hm1 bonus level
At least Jacket shows some empathy when he rescued Hooker/the girl. In my mind he is a good dude and they both deserved this short period of time living together 💞.
dude your videos are amazing. It touches my heart to see someone so invested in one of my favorite games of all time
Anyone else notice that Carl's dead sprite at 3:56 looks like he was tortured in his testicle area ?
I imagined the dogs killed him by that
*COCK AND BALL TORTURE*
Richard and Ball torture
Jokes on you, Earl's balls were tortured
I think that was the original implication until the creators read that comic and declared it canon. Also it makes it funnier that he gets a drill since he can't drill anything anymore.
maybe carl could have said 50 blessings was behind the killings?
jcket noone would believe him
"This is my rifle-"
Edit: Why the fuck did this get so many likes
*gunshot* *gunshot*
I don't get the inconsistence between the game and comic.
In the game, his nuts are blown off and he choked on blood.
In the comic, he got shot twice in the chest and head.
DonnyIsJuan 5 Recruit Strat
chainsawplayin the comic was fanmade until dennaton said it was canon a bit later
Kaz Eyyyy
Who's that one guy called: ''The Hammer''? He's selectable in the Level Editor. Does he have a backstory?
I think no
I think he is a Dj from sweden or something not to sure
its girl
No, hammer is a guy. Hotline miami's face sprites have a very specific set of lips for girls.
Stewartsaurus Yeah but who is he? Does he appear somewhere in the game or story?
I love the way you explain the game. Keep it, man.
Thank you! I'll do my best! :)
The level of detail in this game is amazing. Thanks for these videos. They really open up the whole story.
I like to think richter heard noises in the bathroom and shot through the door. He’s not the type of person to kill innocent people when he doesn’t have to.
That would make the most sense, as he more than likely had no idea about girlfriend, so that is more than likely what happened, because he only wanted to kill jacket
We also have to account his levels. Richter out of everyone, has the most jumpy, snap on shoot, intense levels out of any character. Damn near every level starts with him outnumbered and outgunned.
So its likely he went in thinking it was gonna be like the other missions, with him being 1-20, and simply did as he always did. Shoot first, run like a rat after.
Not his head but his ballsack xD
3:58 See x)
XD
....so, his other head?
he might have been shot in a different kind of head if you catch my drift
Carl's backstory and knowledge is pretty nice.
Tony's Mask makes sense now.
Well it was stated by the devs that Tony's mask was once worn by jacket himself, besides the mask he talks about was clearly destroyed by the explosion. I think Tony stole jackets "Tony mask" after he was arrested somehow
Honesty, his comic legit made Carl one of my favorite characters
In the hotline Miami documentary by complex, the creators say that Jacket is the one who cleans up the apartment, in hopes of convincing the girl to stay.
You should really watch that if you haven’t already.
Yeah, some other people have pointed that out too! I didn't know that! I love learning new things. Thanks for sharing!
I really should. I probably will tonight!
Amazing work, man. As always :D
I am glad i could hear Carl's story... I always wondered about it...
These videos are sooooo well made. Thank you Squatch!
Thank you for watching! :)
So great that you keep exploring the lore
So great that everyone is watching! Thank you for that! :)
I bet Richard is next ;)
Anyways, great explanation as always
Not yet. A chronology of the entire game series is next, but Richard will be after that! :)
Thank you very much! I'm happy to hear it! :)
I wonder how many times you had to answer that, hahaha...
Once or twice. ;)
I thought you said you weren't gonna make one xD (I suggested it earlier on a video)
but hey my wish is complete xD
so... you're making 2 more videos and thats it...?
please don't end those series man :(
dont disrespect my boy carl like that
I love the game sound effects when you read the comic
Your videos are just so entertaining, absolutely great, just as always
Thanks, man! Idk why the quality of this one was set so low. The next ones should be straightened out.
I remember this channel. I have found it again after so long
For the ones who feels interested, Redux is a Hotline Miami 2 Campaing that fits so well with the lore and tells Jones story
That's awesome!
You know it's a good day when Squatch Gaming uploads!
I remember when the girlfriend died I audibly said out loud “ah man i really likes her “ like my goofy ass talks to woman
I hate giving praise, it takes away from smoking, and I'm very lazy, but you've done a great job with these Hotline Miami vidjus. Thank you.
Damnit this makes me want a game where we get to play as Carl
I can't believe 50 Blessings would treat jacket like a clean-up crew member
What about the Boss that drives into the building in HM1 and the 50 Blessings manager?
Again. Excellent as always! Thank you for these much informative and much needed videos. You're the man! ;)
I love watching these videos
Thank you! Happy to hear it! :)
Thank you for the video. It's short, but really interesting.
Thank you for watching! :)
On of the best channels ;-)
You think so? Thank you!
I bought this game just because your videos and I LOVE IT
0:40 Someone made actually a mod about this mad story, pretty cool thou
What’s it called
I love you for going into this game more. It definetley deserved it
Thanks for watching! If no one was watching, I wouldn't be making them! :)
Squatch Gaming Official You can be sure that I will in the future
At least Carl tried. Barely any operatives tried to stop or understand the fifty blessings plan.
Yep! A lot of em didn't care, and at least one was scared. If only they stopped them. Then again, we wouldn't have Hotline Miami otherwise... Lol.
I would have been interested if there were more operatives that tried. Maybe completing Carl's plan, drowning the fifty blessings in their blood.
I'm sure there's some custom campaigns that have stories like that!
I'm sure. Though I couldn't play them sadly.
You know my favorite story from here was carl's because it was like so cool! Also his mask is fun to play as sometimes.
Thanks, man! Carl is pretty cool!
I remember back in the day, Using the carl mask was the best way to get an A+ on all the levels. Lol.
It would be really cool if they made a Carl and Jones DLC telling their stories and having how to play with them
I love the story's of these games, thanks for the videos!
Thanks for watching! Happy to hear you enjoyed!
my seep schedule is fucked up and I decided to go to bed at a reasonable time and then I see squatch upload a hotline miami video.
At least it was only 6 minutes, so you didn't have to stay up suuuper late! Lol.
Man, Hotline Miami is tragic. Everyone either is murdered or killed in a nuking. None of the main characters you play as are good guys. Jacket goes to places where he consistently ends up having to kill people, and seemingly enjoys it. Detective What’s-his-name kills to be noticed, same with the fans. The Russo-American Coalition is corrupt. 50 blessings sends people to places where they know people will die, and even if you’re good, you get nuked and die.
It's kinda clear we won't be getting a Hotline Miami 3 at this point but it would be cool so we could get more lore for characters who's stories remain unfinished like Richard
Y’know I wonder if Jacket knew Carl, because they both have similarly colored letterman’s jackets both with a B, so they probably went to the same high school.
It would make some sense, but it seems most likely that Carl is either in his late teens or his early 20s, while jacket is probably in his late 20s to early 40s
Carl and Cory are Jacket 2.0 lol
super impressed by the amount of depth you manage to discuss in the game :D thanks for enlightnening me dude
Thanks for watching! Glad to hear you enjoyed! :)
3:13 Damn he did have a curse Not only that but the level editor game as well
I hope that Jacket and Girlfriend are reunited with each other.
I'm a simple guy. I see Squatch upload more Hotline Miami? I give it my two thumbs up.
Even though it's only 360p? Lol.
Yes. Even if it's only 360p lol, i'd still give it my thickest skinned thumbs up.
Aw, thanks, man! I appreciate it! :)
No problem! Looking foward to Richard's video
There are also amazing mods for HM2 exploring the other operatives and I’m surprised no one ever mention those. Even if non-canon, it’s really interesting and some really make senses. Jones and Don Juan for exemple were supposed to be friend and everything is retraced until Jones death in the sewers. Really worth to play it, canon or not. My favorite still is The Wild Thing starring Corey and Alex
Poor Fan Tony and Original Tony
I love this Hotline Miami themed channel
No
I'm glad you f i n n a l y posted a video about Carl!
Wow I never knew that these random dead bodies and the girl could have a backstory
Man, you are the best! These hotline miami videos are so interesting to watch, i'd love to see you make videos like this but for other games, like payday, or Saints Row, idk, but dont stop making content, we all love you!
Great video again, mate. You really are looking into Hotline Miami deeper than anyone else.
Thanks, man! I'm just happy to hear it's helping people understand the story better! :)
Thank you for taking the time to create these awesome videos.
Thank you for taking the time to watch them!
Anyone notice the "Hotline Miami: "Carl" comic has a slight pixel style to it
Jacket and coral almost word exact same jacket
I get so excited when i see that you have a new video😂😂❤
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed! :)
Carl is the worlds greatest example of a Real One
Damn poor Carl got shot in the nuts.
What if Jacket came into the building Carl tried to burst into with the 'Carl' mask and the Russians asked "Didn't we kill you?" And Jacket replies with "I am but another curse." Proceeding to kill them all afterwards
YoursTruly __ damn that's cool
_VanDal_ thanks, it's just these kind of opportunities that everyone from any fanbase thinks of to make the community feel great and alive, even you can do so
well that wouldnt make him a curse tho he would just continue with the phone calls and end up getting nuked again the thing is that carl was trying to prove that 50b is behind the calls
Man, Carl’s death bums me out.
You actually talked about Carl. Thanks so much, now i know what really happened
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed! :)
I would have absolutely loved if one of the mafia members said the next line after shooting Carl.
Off-topic statement, it's always a fun challenge to try and beat levels using only Carl's drill if able, I call it the labotomy run :P
Goons tho.
this is more proof that this game has the best story , btw i took ur advice and i pirated the game till i get enough money to buy it
Awesome, man! Are you enjoying it?
yes man thanks so much for the suggestion but i still think 1 is kinda better
That's how I felt at first too. The more I played 2 though, the better I liked it! :)
One thing that would make an interesting video, but no-one has really payed attention to it.Why does Jacket receives the Richard mask, the one that appears in the dream of everyone in the game, and not some random mask that later receives his name?Richard knew that he was "the chosen one"?
Gabik Pepperoni Basically, all of the characters in Hotline Miami who encounter Richard the Entity are because their lives were in some way massively altered by Jacket. The Entity of Richard is due to the influence of Jacket on Miami, hence why Beard and Jake {Who die in 1986 and 1989 before Jacket has crippled the Russian Mafia} do not encounter him. So Richard the Entity was born of Jackets mask, which happened to be Richard.
@Krom the Assassin they are usually named after the operatives (i.e jake) but we never discover jackets real name
I can never get sick of Hotline Miami, like, at all. I've beat the games like twice each and I still love them. Even though I've beat them twice, I didn't know some of this stuff, and it's real interesting. Love your channel!
The games are really really fun. I love them. And when I found the story is actually pretty deep, it just made an awesome game even better!
Thanks for watching! :)
No problem! I love the games too. The story is amazing, the first game tells the story of Jacket without him speaking at all, as you said yourself. Really shows that the guys behind Hotline Miami know how to build a great story to keep fans engaged!
It's also has an unreliable narrator, something I don't see that often, which is awesome. And the second game is full of moments when the developers subvert our expectations. It's pretty incredible.
I've not seen that much myself, only time I saw that was in Spec Ops: The Line, it really adds to HLM1. The second game just blew me away at first, the story is set out in a way where we have an idea of what's going on, but not when it's going on unless we pay close attention. I remember watching your video about a chronological version of the story. And that really shown me the amount of detail the developers put in to the story. I would love a third game, but the devs have hinted away from it because of how the second game ended, maybe a re-continuation of the Biker storyline in the alternate timeline. Depends how much of a story there is to tell.
I've heard good things about that game, but I've never played it!
Yeah, the second game is pretty incredible. That Chronology video is full of errors, and doesn't hold up anymore. Lol. The next video I'm working on will put the entire series in order from beginning to end. That should be fun!
I think it's best they leave it alone. I think the second game ended perfectly! :)
Imagine a hotline miami 3 with carl's storyline
this is really fucking good, keep it up brother
Thanks, man! Glad to hear you enjoyed!
Dude you nailed this video
Thanks, man! Lol. I just tried my best! :)
I LOVE THIS GAME AND THIS SERIES
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
You just earned a sub :D Great and intriguing video!
Thanks for watching! Glad to hear you enjoyed! :)
And to think you were done analyzing Hotline Miami. Still gr8 m8
Not quite. There's one more character to cover... ;)
*internal shrieking*
Carl was the best of the minor characters you said
Amazing video as usual
Thank you very much! :)
Can't wait for you to get popular!
I'm not now? Lol.
Fun fact, it was confirmed by the creators that Jacket was actually the one who actually cleaned up his apartment, not the girl !!
"minor characters"
*proceeds to include the character that basically caused jacket to get his revenge*
This game is so good because of the story you learn on the way, it really pules you in, this game is f*ckin amazing
It sure is. I love it a lot!
btw, it said an interview with Dennaton, (jonnaton sodastrom) that jacket cleaned the apartment, this is based off of jonotans own personal experience, when he had a girlfreind who he loved and wanted to impress. so he strarted cleaning the house for her :3
