Everytime I try to fly I fall
Without my wings
I feel so small
Guess I need you baby...



Pub game: someone on the radio is saying how the car is fixed but they can't drive. I go over, get the keys, we escape. As we're watching postgame she offhandedly mentions she also had the fuse and propeller on her when we escaped. :stare:

RIP other guys

Gadzooks! I'm terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with a knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upperhand.
I had the fuse for the phone, I died, came back as Tommy but when I went to my body there was no fuse. Do small items not drop on death?

Also I have never found a pocket knife, are they just in drawers? I've played a lot.

Yeah, in drawers. They aren't as common as maps or radios, but about the same as first aid sprays imo.

I was in a room where I guy was upset he was picked to be Jason. Motherfucker after 2 days I haven't been Jason loving once, be happy you get to be Jason!

I've only just gotten used to knowing Jason Part 2/3 can be legit fought due to stun/health cons on those versions. Twice me and another guy had knocked out one of them. I like how it not only supports the idea that this early Jason wasn't quite demonic/superhuman yet, but also balances out the fact that these Jasons can run. Works out nicely.

Maybe I'm forgetting my lore though because didn't Jason mainly use the machete in more movies? I only saw one Jason start with it, idk if you can switch weapons as Jason.

I saw a stream today on twitch where something similar happened: Jason glitches out and the player only has a black screen, so he invites the counselors to take him out while he sits there, motionless and blind.

The counselors manage to team kill the girl with the sweater, and nobody knows what to do, so everyone lines up in front of Jason and requests a quick death to end the round.

Have you definitely got Jason set as a preference for spawn? I only ask because I know myself sometimes when exiting out of menus I've not "saved" the changes y'know.

I sadly only remember the "recent" one, which is still like ten years old. In that he had the machete, but got creative with other stuff too. There was a bow and arrow kill.

So, with Jason, the machete is the weapon he uses the most across his incarnations mostly because it's what killed his mom. And himself.

It is by far not the only weapon he's used though. The only Jason to just constantly use the machete all the time was Freddy VS Jason's iteration, where I swear to God it was glued to his hand. Otherwise, Jason can and will pick up and use whatever weapon he can.

Axes, pitch forks, a pick axe once, limb trimmers, party horns. Spear guns are one of his most used weapons of all of them, might be used more than even axes.

Part 8 Jason never even had a machete. He basically just did whatever however he could. Sauna rocks, punching dudes heads off, glass, guitars

So each of the Jasons having a non machete weapon does make a fair bit of sense. Kinda wish Part 8 Jason had the guitar though

I would have liked part 3 Jason to have used a pitchfork. Always seems synonymous to me, thinking back.

Also a good way to stop people kiting you around a car. They won't walk into it, obviously, but it'll get them to make a dash for it at least.

Had a match where I (as Jason) was following people trying to escape on the boat. The driver had no idea where the exit was so I manage to sneak up on them and stop the boat JUST INCHES before the escape. Their screams over the mic were priceless.

on the other hand it means anything can happen which I kind of like, I've had runs where Jason just destroys 3 people in the first moments and other where he just makes bad decisions and can't get everyone

I feel I could record every match and have at least 3-5 minutes worth of comedy. Just had a match where we were all piled into a car and the driver started to back up only to back into a stalking jason. Cue 4 people, 2 with shotguns, 1 with a firecracker, and me with a flare gun screaming, exiting the car, and all opening up on him simultaneously. It was like 4th of July. :allears:


*edit* Had another match where I was chasing the last counselor into a 2nd story cabin. As she leaps out the 2nd story window I swing my axe and catch her ankle sending her flying through the window and dead down below. It was like out of the movies. I was laughing so drat hard when I saw her just drop like a mannequin and go face first flying outside.

Second shot at being Jason and I killed six people. Knew where to drop traps and people were just telling me to kill them by the fuse box. Two escaped by car with a lucky early start. The rest got whittled down and begged for mercy after missing their shots. First window kill as well. Looking forward to the other environmental kills.

Constant crashing is starting to become a thing again.

So uh I've played maybe ten rounds of this today (and one had a timeout that meant I didn't get any XP, even though I was the last survivor with only about 90 seconds left on the clock, boooooo) and... this game needs some work. (Playing on PS4 here).

It's great fun when you get in, but it can take 10-15 minutes before you get a match going. Why is there no option to host a public game? It's all P2P, but it searches for 15 minutes before it goes "oh okay you can host a game". As soon as it did that, I had a full lobby of people with pings averaging around 60ms.

Rolling for perks after playing a match has resulted in the game getting frozen on the perk screen every single time (five times total) I've tried it, requiring a restart of the game.

There really needs to be two of each required item on the map, because as it stands now it's pretty much inevitable that some pubbie without a mic will grab the keys, run off into the middle of the woods and die.

I can leap theatrically through a window but a foot-high fence thwarts me entirely? I wouldn't mind if it made you trip or stumble, like a horror movie, but the way it blocks movement entirely is annoying.

No idea why I keep getting 'betrayed' penalties. I haven't attacked anyone except Jason; I'm absolutely positive. Does it maybe count if people walk into my bear traps or something? I've only placed them behind locked/barred doors, but maybe it's possible that people are really dumb?

Anyway. I'm still really enjoying it, but I really hope a patch comes out to address the bugs soon.

I don't think they had the server setup to handle the volume they actually got - as was mentioned earlier.

There's a lot of butthurt people, but a lot of adults can just shrug and wait a few days to play a video game. When the game works, it's fun as gently caress.

This is definitely not true, at least on PS4. You can tell because you end up in a lobby by yourself with a ping of zero, then other people join later.

I'm guessing there's a matchmaking server which is struggling with the current volume of players, hence the incredibly long time to find a game - which stops dead on 15 minutes and starts a lobby with you as host (again, this is my experience on PS4, no idea about other platforms).

Like I said, it's really fun. I don't regret buying it at all and am looking forward to playing it with goons instead of silent, dumb pubbies. But there are definitely some really aggravating bugs and QoL issues that I hope get cleaned up soon.

To add on to this a counselor going through a smashed window (Jason can smash open or closed windows) will get hurt. Smash all but one window at each cabin and place a trap right outside the non-broken window. Works wonders every time

Here's to the new us.
Either Jason's Morph ability needs to be delayed or counselors need to not be spawned next to cars/the phone. Multiple times now I've been insta-killed because I spawn near the car and Jason (reasonably) morphs there first to lock it down. Been the Jason a few times in that equation as well.

the opposite side to this coin is that if you don't spawn near an objective the first 5 minutes of the match are usually consumed by figuring out where the hell you should be because we don't spawn with maps anymore.
