I only vaguely remember the circumstances, but it's something like
>Dennaton doesn't really know wtf to do for Hotline Miami besides the basic premise
>Get fucked up on cocaine and alcohol and start making the game
>Put together a super violent, weird, trippy game that doesn't really make sense but is cool as fuck and fun as fuck
>Huge hit (for an indie game)
>HL2 time comes
>Dennaton is self loathing that HL1 was successful despite being mostly a fluke
>Outright say that they hate the game because of the circumstances of its creation
>Convinced they're actually grand Artiste's, and that HL2 will be their magnum opus
>Add a bunch of stupid shit nobody asked for like apocalypse musings and rape philosophy
>HL2 is actually just worse and doesn't sell as well
>Gone completely radio silent since
Also,
>and 2 is way more based and dark
You're an underage faggot. 1 is better than 2 in pretty much every way excluding visual fidelity and weapons.
