Does Chad look like Jon Bon Jovi or am I suffering from that goon problem where all faces look the same?

Lasher posted:Yeah it's real frustrating. We had to find a weird janky fix to even BUY the game, then had to figure out weird, janky tricks to PLAY the game and even then their servers are there stonewalling us. I was saying last night, I don't recall them talking about any kind of roadmap beyond launch. All they ever said was "we don't like DLC" so I'm not so sure.

I'm sympathetic to them because the company I work for dealt with 8 months of a disastrous switchover to a new registration and database system that didn't work, and we ended up improvising a termination to the business relationship and changing to a new system while continuing to deal with customers AND a huge increase in business. Basically I know exactly how Gun Media probably feels right now, and I don't hold it against them. As they said, their numbers said to prepare for half the players they got.

I get that, but thinking "oh, well 5k people played the PC beta, that means 3x that at launch" is silly. I would imagine the target audience for this isn't going to play on a PC. Further, the beta was only backers, and there were definitely TONS of people on their facebook page who wanted to play the beta but couldn't. The writing was on the wall.

Facebook traffic is a very poor indicator of enthusiasm because conversion percentages from excited posters or likers to actual customers is hard to establish. They're frequently in the single digit range, though. I'm sure there were ways to do things better, but operational forecasting is incredibly difficult when you don't have a pork-plated budget. It's pretty much the height of arrogance to second-guess them after the fact.

Also they're a small indie crew of a few dozen people with less than a $1 million budget, when the average game is many times that now. I'm willing to forgive a shaky launch on a fun game. I'd only change my tune if they totally abandon ship and run.

Then you go ham on all counselors.

Repaired the boat. Two people got in without me. gently caress them. So I just ran laps around Jason. Vanessa with a baseball bat is no loving joke.

Alteisen posted:The entire soundtrack is 80's as gently caress. It is important to remember that the game was originally designed as a generic slasher game. But they did such a loving bangup job with the initial product that the guys who owned Friday the 13th were actually open to giving them the rights. They clearly loved the material, so I'm willing to give them a decent amount of leeway, even if the game hates me right now.

New Line made "Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday" as well, under license. Gun Media could technically get the rights to the Jason X regular Jason under their current deal, as it's copyrighted by the previous owners. UberJason from later in the film is wholly owned by New Line. It changed hands again, in its entirety from Frddy v Jason, then once more to F13 Remake. So the singular character Jason is owned by 4 companies plus more when you count NES Purple Jason, etc. Aren't artistic licensing rules fun?  Side note: I'm sad Jason 7 has janky powers, because he is by far the best, absolutely most iconic looking Jason, imo. The Anime Liker fucked around with this message at 01:05 on May 29, 2017 |

weekly font posted:I think a pretty good rule of thumb is if you spawn near a main house, the phone or a car, get the gently caress away. Main thing is don't loving sprint or jog at the beginning if you don't have high stealth. Jason can see the noise bubbles anywhere on the map, teleport to the area he imagines you're in then follow you around until he gets sense, and by then you should be afraid enough that you aren't getting away. If you walk, you make no noise. There are stealth break points for no noise while jogging/sprinting (5 and 9 I think) and then you can just run around like mad. If everyone walks in the beginning, it gets very hard for Jason to figure out where you are and what you're doing, but if you run away from an objective because he will morph there (he probably will pick one) then you'll be lit up on his screen and he'll just find you anyway.

Slow and steady wins the race. Also, don't be in Packanack Lodge at the outset. The nearby houses are littered with stuff and Jason never goes there at first. You can stroll to the house near the car with the keys and gas/battery, drop them, then get the other or wait for someone. Driving out of Packanack just requires not going in the lodge right at the start. Because Jason WILL be there because pubbies run to that flame like moths.

I wish I kickstarted this game so I could sell my kickstarter DLC for 350+ dollars . Ridiculous. Loving this game, played all day Saturday and we didn't have a single match that felt like any of the others. The tree death is ridiculous. It's great when you're against a dumb Jason who will chase you around in circles around a car without bothering to put down a bear trap , or shift, or throw a knife but will ragequit after 10 minutes of running in a circle.

As soon as the leveling system gets straightened out and I unlock Jason Part 2, I'm definitely gonna use him almost exclusively because he's always been the scariest Jason, plus he can run.

Get Gud Scrub, I know, but man it sucks to spend all round sneaking around collecting things to escape just to have Jason pop his sixteen teleports to juke his way around your car and smash it. A lot of people are saying that it's fine because it's the "experience of being a counselor in a Jason flick". That's cool and all but I kind of feel that 80% of the fun is concentrated in the person playing Jason, which I haven't been able to do for going on fifteen rounds. Right now the constant grind of being repeatedly insta-killed is making the game wear a little thin.

Maybe it's just me, but I have "prefer counselor" checked. Jason is fun, but getting everything to go perfect and clowning Jason is infinitely more rewarding to my lizard brain pleasure center.

What I do with the big lodge buildings is enter and hide immediately. Jason shows up, everyone panics and leads him away. A minute or two in the closet and all the conflict is outside. I got away with a shotgun once, which saved my rear end running to the cops.
