I have still never survived a round. For the first time ever I had a lucky spawn near the two seater with all of the car items nearby. Me and another counselor start it up and successfully dodge jason, and I'm getting a feel for the car as I turn towards the exit.... Game crashes. Dammit.

If I find a map in one of the first few cabins I'm in, then I stand a decent chance at surviving. The map allows you to see where everyone is, so it makes it easier to chill inside a cabin and then run to the car when its ready to go, or plan a route to the police so that you aren't running around aimlessly like Jason chum. There are a lot of times when people fix up the car or the boat but they don't have mics so you won't know it unless you're paying attention.

I only play as Jason 7 because he's my favorite of all the designs, AND the lack of running really gets you in the Jason mood. A limping Chad or Vanessa can still outrun you, but if you know how to read a map and use Morph, you can teleport right in on them in Stalk, or when your shift cools down you got 'em in a choke. You have to be drat good at the shift grab, though, so an open field chase can take a while. BUT, if you rely on fear, killing the power/phone, stalking, trapping, etc, after about 15 seconds of running their fear is maxed out and you've got them dead to rights. As 7 the most important thing to do is teleport to every power box immediately. For the first 2 minutes you can't run, stalk, or shift. Don't even bother killing unless they did something dumb like hide in a tent or outhouse. Kill the power. Your morph regenerates in 20 seconds. You can hit all 3 boxes before those idiots know where they are. THEN you hunt. Plus, Jason 7's sense is unreal. You can hear Tiffany breathing in a hiding spot on the other side of the map. And man, having rapid morph plus fast water movement makes killing boaters ridiculously easy. Just pop in near the moving boat icon and you can outswim the boat. It's so rad. UUUUUUUUUUUGH I wanna get home and play.

There really was no reason for anyone to be complaining about the kill variety, which it seemed like some were doing the first day before they knew how to play properly. Each Jason has 3 unique kills, plus a shared pool of like 10 more. Then when you throw in the environmental kills, and there are a lot of those too not just 1 or 2, and there's plenty of room for "creativity" as Jason.

I saw the same guy killed on a coat rack by myself and another Jason, back to back. He was loving furious in dead chat that second time, saying it's a bug and the game is cheating. Newbies.

My problem last night with Jason 7 was that I was forgetting to throw in a few machete chops when counselors were giving me a hard time. I'd try 2 or 3 times to shift grab someone before getting it right, when really I need to be hacking away before the first grab attempt just in case I miss and need to chase them down again.

Is the outside camp fire kill the one where you shove a machete down their throat? I tried being near it thinking it would toss someone in the fire the other day but that's what came out.

The only downside is I once morphed into a gang of 6 at the Packanack Lodge car, grabbed one, got hit and dropped them, then shift-grabbed and killed one. Jason 2 could've probably killed 2 or 3 in that scenario. But the trade off is ol' Baghead can't hunt for poo poo, so once they're scattered it's mostly guess work. 'salright, though. Dying lonely and terrified out of your mind in the woods is the proper way to go.

On console: Move cursor left (d-pad) to the box of usernames Highlight yourself (up/down) Move cursor right so the counselor box is highlighted Enter (X on ps4) Change dude Accept (square on ps4) You have to ACCEPT on the counselor from the options. Hitting back (circle) won't save your selection. Hit start/options if your thing says "unready" under the picture of the selected map if you can't move cursor You're ready when the box by your name is checked The Anime Liker fucked around with this message at 19:03 on May 31, 2017 |

Showed up on sense and could be heard everything, just not be touched; even the guy playing her was confused. literally have had this happen twice but with closets, once when I was Jason and another time when I was a person inside the closet. not idea why this interaction glitch happens but it's def the worst feeling when you have 1 person left and this bug prevents the game from being completed for real

If he is already down/stunned and you use it then nothing will happen. If you were trying to get the kill, their are more steps besides just using the sweater and having Tommy around.

It's pretty great that they worked the attributes of the Jasons that way, the ones before he died work more like human killers with their running and emphasis on direct attacks and traps, while the zombie Jasons rely more on terrorizing and literal movie magic to build a slow but relentless assault.

Anyone who complains is almost certainly young enough that they weren't even born when the Friday movies were popular, so I just laugh at them. With nostalgia its basically impossible to be pissed off while playing this game, but without nostalgia the desire to constantly tryhard is probably overpowering and frustrating when you realize there's no consistent way to win.

One change I would like to see for shift is that if someone is looking at you, you can't shift. It makes more thematic sense, since the trope is offscreen teleportation, plus it would be balanced by the fact that by looking back at you, a counselor are far more likely to run into a tree or something, and looking forward to get their bearings lets you shift with all of the "Oh gently caress me" that brings.

poptart_fairy posted:So, I figured out on reason I love this game so much now - it reminds me of Dungeons and Dragons. This is how I see it, minus the talking. Jason controls the flow of the game and Jason has a ton of power to just poo poo on everything the counselors can do. Jump out a second story window to escape? Nothin personnel kid I'm still right behind you. Lay traps inside the door? Nothin personnel kid. *teleports behind u* Lure me into a bedroom and set off firecrackers at the door so I'm stuck there until they're gone? Not bad, it took almost 10% of my power to negate that attack. And of course grabbing you in the middle of your attack animation and instantly killing you. So when I'm playing with obviously immersed counselors who aren't being shitters I'll give them freebies. I'll walk into traps they lay or fall for their ruses on purpose so they feel like they have some kind of control over the game. Sometimes if I stop the car but I think they've earned the escape I'll drag out a passenger instead, let the rest start the car and run. If a counselor successfully bamboozles me (or if I see th rough their ruse but decide it's clever enough to "fall for it" anyway) I'll morph out and find somebody else to gently caress with, give them some breathing room. Never talk. All that goes out the window if they're abusing bugs or talking poo poo. Last time somebody was like 'lol this jason is trying so hard and just can't catch me' so I immediately shifted on top of him and beat the poo poo out of him, pocket knives flying out of his body like a pinata. If you don't respect my show you can leave. Haven't had any serious throwdowns on the Jason side yet, though I've clowned on Jasons before. It's hard to judge right now. On one hand I've had several games where we just beat the poo poo out of Jason all day and went home with 2 or fewer deaths, even one 0-death, but then I almost always get Jason the next round and they're lucky to leave with one, despite deliberately handicapping myself with the above. I'm not sure if it's just me Chadding it up that pulls the team together so when I'm not there they fall apart, or if the Jasons I see doing that are just shitters. The first things I do when Jasoning are taking out the power boxes and putting bigtime harass on any counselors I see first-thing. I know the pain of getting tunneled ten seconds into the game, but I've also seen how much hurt an organized group can put on, so damaging the group before it forms is critical if you actually want to win. Despite my personal rules I do play to kill everybody. If we're doing immersion, movies rarely end with more than one survivor you know. I play 8 and I'm going for 9. I just don't understand the shift-grabbing thing. There was a guy on  asking what the fastest execution was so he could be as efficient as possible. That'll be real useful to get to the top of ranked play and win that big tournament coming up, you god drat dweeb.

Hey fellow Jason 7s. Here is my usual routine. I find how you spend your pre shift time sets the pace for the rest of the match. I typically start by looking at the map for blip concentrations. If there are lots ill pop in and say hi, maybe catch an unlucky slower guy. Otherwise most times I go for the phone. Pop nearby electricity if possible, bust down the house's doors, maybe a second if it is really close. On my way out ill leave a trap if I'm feeling saucy on the jumper box. Then I'll head for the nearest car. By now I'm at or close to shift, and have the phone area pacified. If i warp by the yellow car and no one is around ill bust down the nearest door until my cooldown recharges. Blue car usually has at least 1 person by it. I'll do a short chase here even if shift isn't up, i want people to run from the car. Run back, bust down doors. I'll trap the gas, maybe the battery when no one is around. By now shift is up and the hunt is on. Check the phone again, usually there will be someone there you can catch. If not, terrorize the car areas with stalk which should be up soon after and continue the hunt. Busting down doors by foot trafficked areas is the most important thing to allow you to shift through indoor areas to catch people since your walk speed is such poop. I usually try and swing on someone once or twice before grabbing. If I've wounded them or better yet slowed them, i don't care as much about getting knifed as the time i spent on the chase has weakened them and likely guaranteed the next shift grab.

Mister Bup posted:This is how I see it, minus the talking. Jason controls the flow of the game and Jason has a ton of power to just poo poo on everything the counselors can do. I did this the other day when Jarvis and three counselors were trying to get away in a car. I shut them down at first, and killed one of them right away, but then they all scattered. So in the end just one counselor makes it back to the car, but Tommy is lagging behind them. I step out into the road right in between them, so I have an obvious choice: go after Tommy or stop the car from getting away. I felt the right choice was to go after Tommy for two reasons. First, it allowed a single counselor to escape in the car, which is exactly what should happen in a Friday the 13th movie. Secondly, Tommy is Jason's nemesis and him getting killed in a showdown with Jason, allowing someone else to get away, also felt like something that could totally happen in one of the movies. Roleplay is really fun in this game.

I've noticed that even shitters and part 3s instinctively respect the Tommy sacrifice. Like the time I got to the two-seater just as it was being fixed and when we got to the place where Jason was going apeshit I got out and gave my seat to a Deborah. As they're getting ready to drive off I post up and tell Jason to come get his rear end whooped. He goes for me, we have our Grudge Match, and as he's twisting my head around the counselors escape in the car. That wasn't the first time that kind of thing had happened either. Buggzy is also a good candidate for heroic sacrifices. Going ham as Buggzy with melee combat perks gets you a ton of points too and since you'll be the first one to die you'll probably get to Tommy and go for the escape. Worst environmental kill aside from ground-floor window is probably folding chair. Even in an F13 game I can't take it seriously.

1stGear posted:I haven't seen the folding chair kill but ground floor window kill is hilarious and emphasizes that this is a comedy game. The window kill is a concession to the movies, because in the movies Jason would murder someone before throwing them into the window, it was just a scare tactic, not an actual killing method. But in the game you can't carry the counselors corpses around once their dead so I guess they just put the window throw in as a kill instead. I'm fine with it.

So a number of folks have asked for a full run of my singing Jason gimmick, I went ahead and did it yesterday and got lucky enough to have some Twitch streamstar on there as well reacting to it. It wasn't as good as people mistaking it for gospel music but it was still pretty amusing. My view is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B04AXaHkNhA here. Apologies for my many years old mic giving a static crackle in the background, there's not much I can do about that. The streamer I happened to random into has her archive video here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/148420657. The match starts at 56:00. I wasn't able to hear most of her reactions to my 'chanting', as she puts it, and her chat also has a pretty what the gently caress reaction to it, so it's a decent watch.
