poptart_fairy posted:I made the mistake of telling my team I had the car keys. Jason was quite uh, persistent after that. Unironic answer, actually? Drop them as close to the car as possible, run a few cabins over, and when things are looking bad, tell Jason you dropped them two minutes ago by radioing it to your team (or pretending to) The first thing is what you should be doing anyway unless you are actively on your way to the car to put the keys in the ignition. Nobody wants to find whatever nook or cranny you died in, the second is what will cause the Jason player to go "oh poo poo." and leave you alone at the last moment.

You can drop stuff? And cheers for the answer on the mic stuff. Most of the game feels fairly intuitive. Slowly coming to the understanding that it's less about surviving and more about surviving longer than anyone else. Once Jason's got me in my sights I don't last long - although I did hide in a cupboard and clock him with a shotgun just as he broke in. "SURPRISE, FUCKER"

poptart_fairy posted:You can drop stuff? To drop an inventory item, highlight it by pressing 1-3 (wherever it is) and tap z. To drop a larger item, like your held weapon, the jerrycan, or the battery, hold z. Be aware that for useable inventory items like first aid spray, pressing it to highlight it will use the drat thing immediately. So don't take usables with the intention of dropping them for someone else; just leave 'em where they lie. This is triple true for static item spawns like sprays in bathrooms. Bathrooms are where experienced survivors look if they're hurt and need a patch-up. Don't steal them if you don't need one. You're correct about the overall goal. Surviving is great and you should do it whenever possible, but the game has enough agency for the survivors that you can write a really great story most times you're under fire. As you play more you'll get more used to the strong things a survivor can do and the stories will get longer, and you can always take solace in wasting a lot of Jason's time, if nothing else.

Just had a round at Packanack Lodge. 2 seater car outside. Gas in it. Me: "Guys, I have the battery. If you have keys get to the big green lodge!" *all 7 campers and Jason show up at the 2 door car simultaneously* Jason: "HOLY poo poo IT'S A loving BUFFET!" *cue 2 people in car running over 2 people* *Jason kills 2 playing musical chairs trying to open the back doors that don't open* *I run like hell and he shifts right on top of me, crushing my head* *car gets away* Match ends after 4 minutes as car gets away.

GOON TALE THE GOONING So this is one hell of an adventure ole Burk found himself in. First and foremost, Chubs McKenzie is the worst character. Just, worthless. His stealth isn't the highest, he can't run for poo poo, he tires out super quick, and he's more skittish than a fainting goat. So much worse than Vanessa, who can at least distract Jason longer then five seconds by running the gently caress away. Thankfully I only rolled Chubs once. See one thing I like to do is play random- random people, random Jasons, whatever. Play what I get. I get a Chad I be a The Chad. I get hide and seek king, I do my thing. I get muscles mcgoo, I try to get into fights with Jason unless something far more hilarious presents itself. Which brings us to our first side story on that one. I picked up Muscles and hung out with a Chubs, I think it was Composer in fact. I felt kind of bad about it because I was giving him away every which a were, but then I got a call over the radio that the boat was fixed and ready to go from Psygonis. So I think, okay, I'm good at running, let's do this poo poo. I book it. Some one else is on the way, I THINK it was Weekly. I keep stopping just to get a burst of speed and beat him there. He's playing JonTron, so I out pace him quickly. I feel real bad about it as we peel out on the boat, Weekly watching from the docks. Jokes on us because then SD shows up and flips the boat and kills us. So that was karma. Few more rounds go on, I die in a few different ways. Nothing too spectacular this time around And then I roll Chubs McKenzie. Oh how the Angels sang. I was the fattest piece of poo poo you've ever seen. I started out with Psygonis again, frequent partner in crime of him getting to witness my bullshit. Early on, I find a pocket knife, but I specifically drop it for him to have. I had a flare gun I think, but it doesn't matter because I lost it soon there after. So I'm a awful lovely fat man with no items, no weapons, and we learn the car is ready to go. So Psygonis gets in and starts it up and I plant my giant rear end in the passenger seat. A whole lot of poo poo goes down from here. SD is shouting at Psygonis, Psygonis is trying to figure out where to go, Composer is Jason and keeps loving with where we CAN go, we had another dude with us in the car at that point but he bailed, and Cath basically committed suicide by throwing himself behind the car on the bridge as we were backing up. We end up RIGHT where we started when Jason smashes the car. I stay seated while everyone else bails. From this point on, Psygonis and SD are running around the car, frantically fighting off Jason, while Chubs McKenzie sits his fat rear end in the passenger seat and refuses to move. They circle the car like five times. Jason reaches for me, I get out briefly, run as far as I can, which isn't any far at all, and get back in the goddamn car. More frantic fighting around the car breaks out as I just sit my rear end down in the passenger side- Jason tries to grab me twice, I get saved both times by Psy and SD. And I keep throwing myself back into the car. Psy gets grabbed but has that pocket knife, so he gets away, SD gets in and starts driving. We make it just past the bridge but at this point our vision is poo poo. We get out briefly and I get slashed some, but instead of doing anything to help I just park my giant rear end in the back seat this time, and SD manages to get back in the car while Psy sacrifices himself. The entire rest of the trip is spent shouting abotu where we're going because all we could see was black and white, the mini map was gone, and SD was going purely by the main map so he couldn't see a drat thing anyways. Also, Tommy pops up to help us out and we run his rear end over. It was Weekly, making me feel extra worse. We make it out alive. The last guy alive after that titanic bit of fuckery as Composer slaughters the others that we didn't kill in our escape is another Chubs McKenzie. He's running around the forest, goes swimming, goes to the island- and Jason never found him. Composer could not see the guy. He was completely dark. Chubs wins!

Just played my first game. Went terribly but it was fun. I'll have to hop in some goon games on PS4. There was one counselor that looked to be invincible? He hid for the first 15 minutes of the game, walked outside and Jason could not damage him despite swinging. The Jason was cussing up a storm about it.

Did someone make a scoring table for what Jason can do? I want to hit 1900. I drop traps outside open windows but they never fall for it. I am at 0% success and I think I would rather drop traps elsewhere.

So am I correct in assuming that there's the possibility for "unwinnable" states for the counselors, i.e. there's no way to escape unless you survive the full 20 minutes (which is too long and they should make it 10 or 15)? My group and I spent nearly half the match once just looking to the keys for a car and there was literally nothing. There also seems to be times where the prop for the boat is gone or none of us have seen the CB Radio or phone, or even the fuse to fix it. Is this a thing? I hope that I'm wrong but the game gets kinda frustrating when completing your objective comes down to luck. I don't mind a good Jason wiping everyone out because he's good, but I don't like when a Jason wins just by the fact that 20 minutes is too long for him to hunt everyone down and it's easy as piss because certain items are nowhere to be found. Unless all of those times some rear end in a top hat had it and just died in the woods with it.

Oh god, accidentally walked into Jason's cabin for the first time. Also, first Jason round was 4/8. Would've been 6/8 but I didn't notice they'd called the police until it was too late, and when I did I got stuck in a constant loop of being shot, sitting up and then being shot again. Seemed pretty janky as I wasn't able to shift away from the police or anything.

I played a few games with a Twitch streamer who tended to scream whenever she was in trouble, so I got to entertain the ~6 people watching her channel. During one game all the counselors stuck together to try and maintain strength in numbers, so I killed two by waiting for their spacing to slightly widen and shifting in. I then decided to intentionally gently caress with them, like waiting until they were gathered on the shore and then sneaking into the water just so I could slowly walk from its depths and make them scatter. Two of them got in the boat while another counselor sacrificed himself to hold me off, apparently forgetting that Jason can teleport. Cue me suddenly grabbing the boat right before they escape and yanking them both into the lake to drown.

Just had two matches in a row where I immediately found the propeller and gas and left solo within the first 5 minutes. 2nd time people in dead chat were laughing when they realized I had booked it twice in a row. Sadly I had no mic so I didn't have a way to let people know the boat was ready. I love how laid back the community is. Stark contrast to DbD. I think most counselors are resigned that they will die so might as well have fun and try to see how far they can get. It also helps that even it you do nothing but get chased by Jason you're still helping by keeping him off others.

I made up for it later by filling up the four-seater with all the remaining survivors and booking it.

Chad literally has a perk that makes the car faster if you're the only one in it. Always abandon people as Chad his entire purpose is to be a lucky rear end in a top hat who saves his own skin. If you aren't being a smarmy self serving Chad you're loving it up. Make sure to brag about your parents wealth and refer to yourself in third person over voice chat if you are Chad

Coolguye posted:Ten out of ten. The parts you need can be uncomfortably far from their destination but they are never simply absent. Are you sure? What about the case for 2 cars, are there two of everything to get both working? Two things I think should change: 1. There needs to be a limit on how fast Jason can recover when it comes to the QTE's, I'm pretty fast at mashing the key and Jason's basically already getting himself up off the ground as soon as he hits the ground, even when I play Jason it's ridiculous and makes shooting him kinda pointless. Someone shot me, immediately got into a car to start it up and I was able to recover from the shot and pull him out of the window before the engine started, it was dumb. 2. Jason should have a cooldown on his grab, it's too easy to constantly go for grabs and considering it's almost always a guaranteed kill there's no reason to do melee attacks since it's always the worse option. There should also be a long-rear end cooldown if he does manage to kill via a grab move.

Honestly, private matches only was amazing for Xbox one, it encourages good behavior. I've "befriended" more people in a weekend than in the entirety of having an account. I won't go to quick match when it is fixed. The game is rough, but I've had a ridiculous amount of fun.
