Another fun thing to do as The Chad is to hide an escape item when you find it and wait till the vehicle needs just that part to escape then show up with it all heroic.

#chadlyfe

I don't say I've got anything until it's all we need to escape. If they know I have the gas they might expect me to put it on the four-seater when the boat's closer and already has the prop. Plus they're a guaranteed ticket out. Had a game where AJ and Vanessa were at the boat, AJ gassing while Vanessa looked for the prop. I slipped into the house ahead of her and grabbed it, then ran out and gave it to AJ. As Vanessa gets back I'm already starting the boat. Vanessa swings the bat at me as I take off. Sorry, I don't ride with the help.

When I'm not memeing I play Chad as a guerrilla Vanessa, getting Jason's attention with my girlish screams and then running cabin to cabin, keeping him occupied as long as I can before I hit the next one. Same as Vanessa but instead of running forever I grind it out, making him break down each cabin just to chase me to the next one. Chad with hypochondriac. Saying Chad things over the mic to get him mad so he tunnels me.

If I'm alone it really depends on if he's using shift-grab and how lucky he gets with it. If he doesn't or can't shift-grab, or if I've got an Adam, Buggzy, or Chad 2 with me, I can do it basically as long as there's cabins within sprinting distance. I'm anticipating as people get better at the game balance will swing in favor of counselors, only really mitigated by how broken combat is.

Definitely a party game for playing with cool people. Speaking of which, hit me up if there's any SA private servers going. I play a pretty mean Jason without trapping objectives or shift-grabbing. #ChadLyfe

Adam really shines when your team is filled with chads and AJs since none of them are doing anything but taking up Jason's time. This leaves you to repair poo poo or take care of business like setting up trap lines to rack up some defense points.

Also, beating up Chars is in character for Adam. So if you see a Chad hiding stuff it is ok to knock him a few times with a wrench or pipe.

Twice now I've gotten the action prompt bug when I went to hide in that small cabin on stilts across from the main cabin in Packanack. Not sure if it's just my game but maybe be careful about not barricading the doors there.

AJ, and Vanessa at the boat. Filling up. "Who has a propeller?"

I, Chad, maybe 30 feet away crouchwalking, have the prop in hand. "It's in the house farthest northwest."

AJ and Vanessa split for the house. I fumble once with the prop when they're gone. Start the boat.

the jasons are misnumbered. Jason 8 on the menus is the jason from final friday, aka friday 13th part 9. Jason 7 in the menus is from jason takes manhattan, aka friday 13th part 8

at first i thought they were just numbering them one back, because the original movie had no jason in. But jason 2 is labelled right.

are they just not numbered based on the movies?

edit: i was totally wrong and misremembered how things were labelled in the game. i'm leaving this post here though as evidence for when i'm determined medically to be an idiot.

Ha! Playing as Deborah I'm peeping on Jason from the bushes as he sets up traps around the boat - he was placing them really, really well and they would have worked had I not seen him. Manage to repair the boat while he's stalking after the rest of the group, and feel quite smug as I jump in and pull away. Stopped briefly to let an AJ sneak on-board...only for Jason to loving launch himself out of the water less than a few feet from safety and drag me down to the depths. Apparently he'd seen me creeping about in the bushes after all and knew exactly what I was up to. :v:

Don't judge, but I was browsing 4chan and came across this great Chad story.

Dude over there was up against a team who called the cops in almost immediately. He finds all 7 players crowded around one of the exits and every one of them is a Chad. The Jason think it'll be easy pickings... Until all the Chad's attack and spend the rest of the match bullying Jason. Knocking him down, stunning him when he gets up.

Just stay down, you poor nerd. :chad:

So, I figured out on reason I love this game so much now - it reminds me of Dungeons and Dragons. :v:

No, seriously. When I play as Jason I'm not looking to outright murder everyone straight away (although if they're particularly lovely in attitude I'll break my own rule and nark them quickly), but I like to toy with and taunt them. Lumber straight forward without running, gently caress up a cabin's exterior and lights even if I can just walk straight through the door and chop someone in half, deliberately go for people who are obviously acting as bait and so on. Just like when I DMed in pen and paper it was less about beating my players and more about entertaining them; I mean yeah, nine times out of ten they are going to be murdered, but I want to do it in a way that's goofy or dumb, not outright competitive.

I'D LIKE TO AXE YOU SOMETHING, as I hack down a door.

NICE NIGHT FOR A STROLL, I'll bellow when sneaking up someone in the woods.

Stupid poo poo like this. So far it's gone down really well, and I play along with other Jasons who pull the same stuff.

Come across a quite a few dickheads (one guy kept calling a thirteen year old human being and retard, even though this teenager was excited as gently caress he was playing a Jason videogame), and I'll back off with the gimmick if it's clear people aren't enjoying it, but there's a weird amount of cross-over between my experience here and in the old DnD groups.

game is ultra fun with a full party of people you know especially if you can do private matches and rotate Jason around. I hope they continue to add more maps and poo poo for it. I get why it's not for everyone and I'm sure the Steam reviews are full of poo poo-tier reviews but this embodies the horror movie feel perfectly.

I did however end up losing a perfect match when the last person was hiding in a closet and glitched out, making it impossible for me to open the door to get him. gently caress that. Must be the 2nd time a closet glitch happened.

Longest matches so far were one where I hid in a tent for 7 mins and survived, Jason not knowing where the gently caress I was ( a campground far away from houses) and another match where as Jason it took me forever to find the cabin where someone was in a closet.

When everyone is playing to their character's strengths and working cooperatively this game is just so drat fun and inspired. Hopefully some of the jank gets worked out and more content gets released before it becomes too stale.

I'd ordered some food in and it arrived way earlier than I thought, so I dove into the first tent I saw (as Chad) at the start of the round and ate my grub during the match. Right at the end Jason finds me and pulls me out in my sleeping bag and just as he goes to swing me... <YOU SURVIVED>

That guy must have been FUMING. And if it was any of you, I apologise... But Chad doesn't.

I've seen the closet glitch three times now, and it's been the same closet each time for me. It's the closet right next to the bathroom door in the living room with a fireplace.

I finally got to try Jason VIII last night - somehow I like him better than the Savini Jason. He plays similar to Jason VII, but oh my the stalk is fun. I morphed to Blair's Cove to find a Buzzgy and AJ talking strategy as they looked out to the Higgins house. Neither of them saw me as they both made for the water. Buzzgy was drowned very quickly, and suddenly AJ found herself alone and confused on the other side of the river.

She turns around to see me come out of the water like a boss.

I like Jason VIII too, but I have trouble breaking windows that open vertically with the axe and machete wielding Jasons. It takes a lot of tries to get the angle right to hit the window. I never feel I can spare the knives to break windows with him either.

Well, that was weird. Went 7/8 as Jason and was chasing an AJ - she dived into a tent but I wasn't able to get the interact prompt to drag her out and kill her. Showed up on sense and could be heard everything, just not be touched; even the guy playing her was confused.

Weirder still when the timer ran out and he got a "You survived!" message, I still received the trophy for killing everyone and Tommy, along with the bonus experience for doing so. :psyduck:

I had an absolutely disgraceful round as Jason where I only killed 2 people. I was mortified. These fuckers got away in the 4 seater like 5 minutes into the match, then two more got away to the cops in really embarrassing fashion.

The slower Jasons are not easy, it takes skill and finesse to get the job done. You also have to know when to cut bait with a juking counselor that is more trouble than their worth at that moment. And you're way more susceptible to people escaping on foot because if you blow your shift then there's nothing you can do to catch up in time.

I like it, it makes playing Jason actually challenging, but man, when it goes bad you feel like an absolute failure. This was at the very end of the night and I just don't think I was laser focused on murdering those counselors the way a good Jason needs to be.
