I got more fatal errors than fatalities. The loading thing is number two.

Listen to my story of lovely Bill:
Jason was a total newbie and couldn't attack anyone for several minutes. Everyone eventually massed into the giant lodge with the folding chair kills. Half of us had weapons at the ready and Jason nabbed one of us. *blam* Bill betrayed us and everyone are now freaking out. Jason ran into the trap, got stunned, and I tossed fireworks at him to stun him again. We all scatter. Someone called the cops and we bid our time. Those with phones are now joking at the traitor Bill, who didn't know about the pellet shot, ends up hiding for several minutes after the cops are called. My jock boyfriend and I exchanged kisses in front of Jason and escaped to the cops. Others followed. lovely Bill took his time walking half the map to the police escape and Jason was made fun of the whole game. The nerd killed more people than Jason.

So I found my first major annoyance with the game; I found a gas can and was next to a boat and managed to fill it up and someone else had fixed the propeller. Jason is coming straight for me but thanks to the devs making "leave the boat" and "start the engine" the same loving key my dumb loving character didn't know if she wanted to start the engine or get off the boat. So I'm dancing around on the dock like an idiot constantly getting in and out of the boat. I get killed.

Also, and this is pretty comedic: They need to make the "struggle" keys A/D like in DbD, it's like the one thing they got right because Jason set up a trap right outside of a busted window and I didn't know, so I climb out of the window, taking damage because he's coming into the cabin and I get caught in the trap. I mash E furiously to get out and break free but thanks to E being the DO EVERYTHING key I accidently jump back through the broken window and kill myself.

Come on, you don't need one god drat button to do every interaction in this game.

So do people think SP will be a counselor, Jason, or both?

I hope for an Aliens vs Predator take on it. Give us both! Also, as was discussed during private games today, I want a Kane and Undertaker skin for Jason so that the wrestling kills are even that much more awesome. Also replace the Jason is near music with their theme songs and Jasons mother with Jim Ross on commentary.

played a bunch of games on this with friends and it was really fun and entertaining even though I never got Jason in any game. Also for some reason the badges reset for me? Though I still had all my CP earned and poo poo. loving dumb. Anyways game has a lot of promise even if it does seem janky as loving hell with some animations---clipping is laughable, everyone clips through everything. Also why can't I climb over a loving fence if I'm being chased?

Have the devs said that they'll add more besides singleplayer mode? Wondering if more Jason designs/perks/counselors will come later.

And yet it is very feasible the reason they are having a Ubi-soft launch is because they didn't do just that.

The industry needs to learn from its mistakes that it keeps making over and over again.

This isn't a "mistake."

On a sheer cost-benefit analysis, as a developer, you will always be better off lowballing your server capacity at launch. If you highball it, you're making a high-cash gamble that your servers will still be this hammered in two weeks, which is almost never going to be the case. You may lose a few sales or get a few copies of the game returned, but that's chump change, and anyone who's dumb enough to pitch a fit based upon busy servers on launch weekend wasn't going to be a strong pillar of your community anyway.

Developers are very rarely stupid. They're just often working to a different set of priorities than the end user, especially when they're a Kickstarter-funded indie company.

i've had zero problems playing tonight and have had an utter blast. every time i have died i've been able to say to myself "i could have done such and such better" and even when i have died it's been after a long chase where i can reasonably say i gave something to the team by vaporizing a good 7-8 minutes of jason's life. coordinating with other survivors is amazing. i made two jasons laugh so hard chasing me that they admitted they missed a grab or two because they were crying with laughter, so the local area chat is incredible. two thumbs way, way up.

e: also, the pleased exclamations when i call the police from my teammates are always fantastic. i rolled a good 'my dad's a cop' perk so i knock a full minute off 5-0 showing up when i'm the one to make the call. AJ is my preferred survivor so repair is something i make a habit of.

Conspicuous Absinthe
Tales From The Pubbie Side:

Let me tell you the story of Tommy "1,000 Cuts" Jarvis and the Jason too dumb to live, but too lucky to die.

Six minutes into this match I've escaped in the 4-seater with 3 other players. A feat in and of itself because holy poo poo they picked the worst dude to drive. I was chilling up near the exit in a cabin out of sight waiting to jump in as they approached, but it took them 3 minutes to get there because they spent the first chunk going in reverse for some reason. I have no idea how Jason didn't murder them all. Anyway....

We escape and the match comes down to Tommy and Jason. No one else. For the next seven minutes, Tommy runs all over the place, not even attempting stealth, looking for items. Not a single Jason sighting. Then, finally, as Tommy was looking in the barn, Jason finds him! A thrilling game of "jump through the window" ensued, where Tommy would jump through the window, Jason would jog around, Tommy would jump back through, etc.

Now, its important to keep in mind that said window is broken.

Finally, Jason suddenly makes for the lodge. Why? Because its lighting up on his screen. Tired of chasing Tommy, our hero makes for easier prey.

Except that the lodge is lit up because Tommy turned a radio on ten minutes ago. It's a total fake-out...in a match now containing only a single counselor: Tommy.

And you think, "Jesus Christ, I can't believe Tommy is going to pull this off" until, UNTIL...

....Tommy jumps through the broken window one more time for no goddamn reason and loving dies. Match over.

I wish to god I had recorded it.

pubbie side games are honestly more fun than the friend games i've played so far. pubbies are so amazed at anything resembling teamwork and it's so satisfying. once i fixed a car up and was driving out, as i hit the main road a pubbie comes out of a cabin and starts shouting at me to stop so he can get in. i brake hard, and yell at him to 'loving get in let's go' and he hops into the passenger seat, honest to god sighing in relief while he thanks me for stopping and letting him in. jason is chasing a third and my passenger goes "holy poo poo we've gotta help him" so i brake again and tell him "i got this". i popped jason with a flare gun and yelled at the guy to hurry the gently caress up and get in the car, and we zoomed off just as jason started to recover. he tried to shift to catch up but didn't make it before we were home free.

also, there is such a thing as all survivors making it out, and you get an extra 250 XP for 'team survival'. we had the worst jason on the planet in one game, and i got hold of the phone fuses early. so by 12 minutes left, cops are here and we're all making our way to the black and whites. there's three stragglers, so me and a dude with a shotgun roam around the map, escorting people back to the cops. jason came by twice but i had a flare gun the first time, and my partner popped him with his shotgun the second and we ran like hell. the whole team congregated in front of the cops and exited together, cheering.

one of the best changes from beta is the flare gun being a primary weapon now. christ that is so good.

yeah, it's not so much rough around the edges as it is just rough. i finally manged to get a couple games in and they were fun enough, but that was almost in spite of itself. i'm not usually one to notice 'quality of life' stuff, but between the lag, animation issues, and matchmaking, it's a little tedious.

There are few things more satisfying than teleporting Jason right in front of a full four seater car, and hearing the eruption of panicked screams over voice chat as you yank the driver through the window. It is the BEST feeling.

I am the worst Jason. The goons I've played with over the past two days can attest to this. But tonight I hit my peak I think.

A group of 4 were escaping down the main highway so I warped in front of them. Standard operating procedure. We then play tug of war for a minute as they back up away from me and roll forward when I come around. Slowly they are inching forward and getting near escape off the side of the map.

I don't know why it dawned on me to do this, and in hindsight its so simple. Instead of teleporting behind them or off to the side I teleport to almost the same place I'm standing. I guess on their screen I disappear for a split second and they start to roll forward to freedom only to have me reappear right in the same spot. I slam the car, grab the driver and chokeslam him to hell. The remaining three scatter but the car was too close to the passenger side guard rail so they can't get past and have no choice but to book it. I stalk all but one of them down and the last guy I grab him right at the zone line and gut him. Unfortunately the cops spawned exactly when he died and he gets sucked out to safety while he's flailing about bleeding on the ground.

I really should record games like this on the first few days. So much crazy dumb poo poo happens.

Man, I'm getting a little tired of my lack of ability to do much when Jason is around. Maybe I don't fully understand the game, but how are you supposed to get away from him, especially after his cooldowns have started to reduce? Sneaking away frequently doesn't work due to you lighting up like a Christmas tree with his sense mode, and if he catches you at all he can instant kill you currently. Do you just have to be really lucky and win without him finding you?

The key is going cabin to cabin. Counselors are strong in cabins because they force Jason to behave in a couple different ways, they neuter his Shift ability, and cabins have tools they can use to mess with him. Flare guns are brilliant; they allow you to stun him from range and keep him lit up while you make your escape. Use bear traps in front of doors to snag his foot, which will again give you time to pull some bullshit getaways. If you're in a cabin with a radio, turn it on and hide, if it's a very large cabin, or run to the next cabin, if it's smaller.

Even with all of this if Jason really wants to wreck you he's probably going to be able to, but just trolling him around for 5+ minutes is a massive win for your team, and one you're rewarded for in terms of time survived and offense/defense XP in the post game. Beyond that, Stealth and Composure are definitely the two biggest survivability stats in my experience. AJ's 10/10 stealth means she's able to sprint in most cases without making noise, which is huge for juking Jason since he won't know where you went. Jenny's 10/10 composure means that she simply doesn't show up on sense most times unless she has been seriously screwed with.

Also be sure to ransack every cabin you're able to ransack. Pocket knives still stun Jason if he grabs you.

In my experience so far though you have very little ability to actually run from the cabin; as soon as he's outside he can pretty easily chase you down if you go out a window.
