Hotline Miami 1 Story Summary

[@lordcabal]

Here's an interesting theory about why Biker wanted out of 50 blessings:: The first time you're in control of biker is on may 13th, and you see him threatening the guy who introduced him to 50 blessings, demanding that he needs to help him get out of the whole thing. On the day after that, biker gets a phone call threatening him because he didn't complete his last assignment, and that failure in completing the next one will result in consequences. If we go back to Jackets storyline we'll see that one of his jobs actually takes place on may 13th - Clean Hit. The message that's given to him on his phone says "Our receptionist went home due to stomach problems". This could mean that Biker was given the Clean Hit job first, but got cold feet and backed out of it since it involved murdering several political figures.

[@PirateHeadcrab]

Ricin' the wiki confirms this

[@cosmicklampzy1222]

[@therealsteelchill]

Jacket and Biker didn't die, they saw their fight differently, This is true because biker is at Jacket's court case. Whew I got that off my chest.

[@pingoman4097]

The truth is, Jackets storyline is the true story. Biker didn't die he was knocked out. As in hotline miami 2 in the Bar of broken heroes Biker states that he hasn't been scared of anyone but jacket gave him the chills.

[@V2Joao]

ArkDeck in the bar of broken heroes i dont consider any of it to be plot. he is alive sure but the enconter at the bar is faulty since many characters in there are dead already. but he is alive since he shows up in the courtroom and beard tells jacket that "that"(killing biker) didnt really happen since it was just jacket feeling guilty since not killing biker lead to Hookers death

[@qwidhidhejedjhdxkdjekxmekx3981]

see all this is good evidence... provided that bikers head wasn't completely T'd off. which it is from jackets perspective. it makes more sense for jacket to be the one that was wounded by biker. this would explain how he was Hospitalized

[@Acesahn]

Which means! Jacket is sadly hallucinating or fantasizing his dead war buddy is in the faces of the kinds of friends only lonely people have... bartenders, video rental workers, gas station attendance, pizza place cashier... Jacket is a lost, sad soul who is probably hiding from his pain through the -50 Blessing "activities" the picture at the very end of the game is him and Beard, which he lets go, which symbolizes he accepts that Beard is gone now.

[@V2Joao]

Acesahn no he isnt hallucinating hes in a coma. the entire game up until the hospital level is a flashback thats why sometimes he sees zombies and shit. and he didnt actually kill biker. he dreams he did because him not killing biker was what made 50 blessings try to kill him which made hooker die so jacket feels imense guilt and tries to convince himself he did it

[@zumzum74]

God I fucking love this game so much. A super meta-commentary on the state of violence in video games. Everyone hates the hospital level but it's another super-meta commentary, this time on the style-over-substance process of AAA game development now. Think about it: they spend the whole game telling you the story doesn't matter, only your actions (i.e. the gameplay) do, and then the hospital level takes that away and says "here's our game if we didn't spend as much time making it fun to play, like most major games nowadays." It's all so fucking perfect. The whole thing gives me a vibe that I can't get anywhere else besides maybe rewatching Fight Club for the thousandth time. I have the 50 blessings logo tattooed on my ass lmao. This game is incredible. EDIT: now reading these comments I didn't realize how many people completely missed the story. Beard is a hallucination, the Janitors are game-dev stand ins literally telling you that the story doesn't matter, Rasmus, Richard, and Don Juan are jacket's ego, super-ego, and id, Biker technically "won" the fight but didn't kill Jacket, the "Jacket" in Payday 2 isn't canon to HM's story but if you really need an explanation, it's not the same person at all, he's a fan just like the Protags of HM2.

@@sodajerkrecords5003 Beard is long since dead, he died in the nuclear attack in San Francisco. Jacket is just dealing with the guilt and seeing him everywhere he goes. He's a PTSD hallucination of the real Beard who was a close friend of Jacket's in the war. That's why Beard always gives him free stuff; Jacket knows Beard to be a selfless, extremely helpful guy, so that's what he hallucinates as he goes crazier and crazier.

[@LiquidLunacy]

I personally like to believe Jacket didn't kill Biker, but rather wounded him, like we saw in Hotline Miami 2. Amazing video I keep coming back to, keep it up!

[@_Mars]

Alright, I believe that biker's story is correct, and the reason jacket is in the coma in the first place is because jacket was wounded. You do not have to kill the callers, so that is probably canon that he didn't, saying they are spotted in the sequel.

[@SquatchGamingChannel]

That sounds alright, but remember: Jacket goes into the coma because Richter shoots him. Unless you're saying the injuries he sustained in with his fight against Biker also impacted his coma, in addition to the trauma sustained at the hands of Richter. If that's the case, I'm sorry I misunderstood!

[@_Mars]

Well, the weird stuff doesn't happen until directly after the biker scene. So, that's something to take note of.

[@SquatchGamingChannel]

That's true! They could possibly be linked. Who knows?!?

[@_Mars]

Squatch Gaming Official That might have been when his memory started to fail him, which would then mean that biker's side could very well be true, this is really damn confusing.

What we can add is that the killer waiting for us in our apartment as Jacket is also Richard. Beard died before hotline miami (you discover that in 2) and what you see in the first game are only flashbacks of the last moments with beard. The bold guy, who is beard's kill and Jacket's killer is Richard (remember: the next time we will meet will be the last time, he was right.)

[@applekiller7639]

Honestly , it was all clear on what's happening until chapter 8 or so. Then it got all fucked up with the coma dreams , hallucinations , etc.

[@CABRALFAN27]

We see Biker alive, but severely scarred, in HLM2, so I imagine what happened at PhoneHom was that Jacket won the fight, but never landed the finishing blow, and 50 Blessings, as punishment for not tying up the loose end, sends Richter to take him out. Considering Jacket also canonically spares Richter, it seems like he feels some sort of kinship with the other masked vigilantes, so him sparing Biker too isn't out of the question.

Great video man! I read some other explanations as well, just to see what theories people have and also what they mostly agree on. About Biker vs Jacket in the phone room, I think that Jacket won the fight, but didn't actually kill Biker, only injured him. The scene where he smashes his head with the golf stick might have been just his imagination, like with the bloodied people he kept seeing everywhere. It would explain why we see Biker in the second game with a scar on his face

If Jacket killed Biker in PhoneHome, we would've never found out about the secret organization. If Biker killed Jacket in PhoneHome, we would've found out about the secret organization.

Please tell me I am not the only one who missed so much when playing this game.

[@SquatchGamingChannel]

You are not! I missed all of this when I played the game too. Lol. Thanks for watching!

Jacket may not speak in PD2 cause the events of the hotline Miami games may have left him emotionally traumatized Edit: he may have some sort of small catatonic activity

Today is the anniversary of the first day of the killing spree.

[@davrulesdawurld]

Wait neither of them could've died at Phone Home because the game progresses for both of them

[@lemonisafruit5984]

you literally just described the entirety of hotline miami

[@UppickLP]

[@cjvinet]

They need to make a movie series outa this

[@squiggleeey]

The Scene where jacket kills biker wasnt real because in Hotline Miami 2 there is a scene where Evan Wright talks to biker about the strange phone calls

[@TheTriangle444]

The ending reminded me so much of how John Wick 2 played out

The real mystery is how beard just works everywhere, is he omnipresent? I wouldn't be surprised if he ran 50 blessings in the first place

[@NishaPerson]

Thats answered in Hotline 2

[@literallyjustacow4384]

@@NishaPerson I'm just fuckin' around, dw. Besides, not like beard is truly omnipresent! Right?

[@suna3000]

I guess the massacre in phone home was a 'massacre timeline' while the 2nd one is the 'spare' timeline, but thats not just a theory, its a 4th wall breaking theory

[@micealdavinson6101]

I believe that jacket killing biker is true because in payday 2 you can download the hotline miami dlc witch includes jacket as a playable character but not biker and it has been confirmed that they are in the same universe.
