Jason 8 is loving dope. That destruction perk is the best drat poo poo. Dude is inside the house obviously waiting for the 5th or 6th door chop to ready his gun. Me: *2 chops and I rush in* Him: what the gently caress *wiffs his flare shot in a panic* MAN gently caress YO YOU'RE CHEATING YOU CAN'T *jaw ripped off with fire axe*

I love Jason 8. Bad sense is annoying but the only real problem I have with him. Can't wait for part 9 to gently caress on these DBD-wannabe goonsquads though. Just tore one apart as part 8, lots of teabagging and poo poo-talking until they were all limping and then Deb abandoned them in the car. 6/7, no Tommy, no repeated kills.

The new patch forces the fix, essentially: https://steamcommunity.com/app/438740/discussions/0/1291817837616912728/?ctp=10#c1291817837617261912

Playing a bit more and I'm experimenting with not using the grab until a counselor is heavily wounded, OR they're caught in a bear trap. This feels a lot better to me - also seems to gently caress up the team a bit more as having several of them limping around and whimpering tanks the hell out of their fear ratings.

That's a good habit to get into. Especially because Jasons with the grip strength handicap can't get anywhere before people break free unless they're hurt. Jason VIII is the master of jump scares and tons of fun, but he can't carry a grocery bag without dropping it and breaking the eggs. Such a klutz.

Oh sure, but it was driven more by a dislike of how easy the grab > murder combination actually was. Combine it with shift and I never really felt like it was in the spirit of the movies.

Get used to it, lot of people on here practicing their optimal strats for the high rank and tournaments  Also just brought a guy with a Chinese name the fuel for the boat and held Jason off while he put it in. It takes the entire duration of my bat stun and my firecrackers before he figures out how to start the loving boat, and then he leaves without me. Then he loving dies. Region lock servers please.

Combine it with shift and I never really felt like it was in the spirit of the movies. I don't disagree with that sentiment. I've just been trying not to think about it because the tele-grab annoys me with how out of place it is compared to the movies. They really should add an action cooldown after shift. Counselors can juke the tele-grab once they know what to look for. Their third person camera zooms in once Jason is close, also when he shifts. Zigzagging erratically when the camera zooms in is enough to make it really hard for him to hit. And that's exactly why I think it should be removed. Not because it's instant death to new people or easy to juke for people that are used to it, but because the tele-grab isn't a movie thing, and because zigzagging to juke the grab is especially not a movie-thing. Movie counselors are idiots that run in straight lines, barely get out of Jasons reach, then stumble around in a dark cabin and back up against a stalking Jason and their imminent doom. The tele-grab is a crutch that robs us of cool ambushes. Attack on Princess fucked around with this message at 08:59 on Jun 1, 2017 |

I like to Taylor my Mic spam song pics per Jason. Part two easily gets Waltzing Matilda. Wet Hot American Summer theme song goes to Juicy Jason aka part 8. Still trying to find a solid pick for part 9.

I won't lie, if there's more than one Vanessa I start telegrabbing after the first. If I'm roleplaying Jason and making it easier for you in the process and you start talking poo poo I'll telegrab you to remind you that you ain't poo poo. As survivors get better and less immersed though I'm finding myself playing like that much less. Dicking on memers who think this is DBD is almost as much fun as roleplaying a spooky silent Jason. Plus, if they're really trying then playing it slow means everyone escapes. The problem with telegrab is that it's not fun for anybody involved. It's the worst feeling in the game when you pulled off a clutch escape and then suddenly Jason's got you and you're being choked out. Stalk+shift has no VCR tracking until it's too late to react. And if playing the most optimal strategy on a piss-easy role in an unbalanced meme game with no ranks or tournaments is fun for you, well, at least you won't be getting Measles any time soon

Not to keep going on about it, but stalking while shifting does not prevent the third-person zoom for the counselor. There's no way to shift without telegraphing the upcoming grab.

I did quite like the idea someone had that Jason couldn't Shift when someone was looking at him. Maybe have their fear gradually increase the longer they can see him to make up for it.

The whole "Jason zig zags" when he sees someone with a flare or shotgun is really annoying and hard to counter but I guess it causes him to waste time?

Basically. Use it to get some stamina back. Jason is pretty much the embodiment of nothing personnel kid. If he really wants to kill you he can just ignore 90% of what a counselor does, and the 10% remaining is so buggy it fails half the time too. The saddest thing in the world is jumping out a second-story window to save yourself and he just teleports next to you anyway. Mister Bup fucked around with this message at 09:56 on Jun 1, 2017 |

Knifegrab posted:Is there an easy way to tell as a counselor where the power boxes are? Not really. You have to be pretty close to hear the power hum, or you need a visual. Apropos nothing. I listed a few things that I don't think are in loading tips or the tutorial. *Double tapping the use button slam opens doors that go outward. *Sprint + use on a window does nothing if you are critically injured. *You can start jogging at 0 stamina. It's slightly faster than walking, but not as good as a normal jog. *Counselor traps can be placed and armed in one motion by holding the use button. You don't have to pause between the actions. *Hiding in a hiding spot is the fastest way to regain stamina. *Players that escape or die in the water have their items was up on the beach. *Stages of fear: Calm, wide-eyed, mouth agape, black borders around the screen, black and white vision. *Camp Crystal Lake always has a shotgun at either the Shooting Range or the Workshop beyond it. *Jason's shack at Crystal Lake will be at the top North or the North-East corner. *Jason's shack at Higgins Haven will be on the Southern island or below the cemetery to the West. *Jason's shack at Packanack Lodge will be at the far West on a hill or the far East following the trail going North from the main road. *Getting into a car is a warp, which means you can get past a trapped door as long as you can see the button prompt. *Jason can cancel a knife throw with the grab button. The throw goes on cooldown. *Using the flashlight in a car when you're the driver honks the horn. Attack on Princess fucked around with this message at 12:57 on Jun 3, 2017 |

I was on the PS4 playing with pubbies with this little girl who is playing with her father. I thought it was sweet until she started calling the black characters niggers. Then they were Jason and the father was playing, I was Chad and I managed to get away from him with a pocket knife which made him mad. The match ended with him only getting two kills. You could hear him throw the controller and the little girl starts yelling "Daddy why are you throwing it, it's only a game" The dude starts raging about how the "human being in Capri pants made me lose" The girl just laughed and says her father calls everyone a human being and then he rage quit. There should really be some kind of test before you can have kids.

all these patches makes me think they should have waited until the real Friday the 13th in loving October instead. At least then the game wouldn't break so often or have new games to contend with. See what happens when you don't stick to tradition, devs????

Also, you get some serious points for fighting Jason. I've had several matches with Buzgy where I earned more points dying than I do escaping with other counselors. We had one round where we worked to repair the car, yet somehow I (as Buzgy) lost the musical chairs game and was forced to tango with Jason outside the car. Chad kept telling me to : "sacrifice yourself, black man!" I managed to knock him on his rear end - while Chad completely messed up the escape and went the wrong way. Jason got back up and stopped the car, but I managed to win musical chairs part II and escaped. Fun game.

First couple of hours with the game was a blast, in my second game I spun around in a big cabin looking for car keys and medicine for nearly five minutes without noticing the police phone in the living room while Duster was frantically Steam messaging me about it, haha. Survived a lot of rounds as AJ and Tiffany just by keeping my flashlight on and sticking to lit paths and cabins on the opposite end of the map from everyone else. Even got to be Tommy a few times, to moderate and virtually no effect. Haven't had a round as Jason yet but playing counselor's been a blast, I can't believe people quit out of games if they don't get to be the axe murderer. If only the game didn't have an apparent 20% chance of crashing whenever clicking on any option or interactive element, I've had more stable games of Jenga.

The gameplay will stay, the instability will go away. Remember the game has only been out for a week. They should have absolutely had a 2nd open beta to test these servers - but the devs do seem to have a good handle on the current issues, or at least have them identified, and are working to fix them.

They seem to have fixed some of the perks that weren't working with one of the recent patches. Also one of my favorite things about the goon servers is the wildly different level of effectiveness each Jason player brings. One match might end with everyone surviving, another might have a frighteningly competent hunter who spends 90% of the match jumpscaring us before finally slaughtering us. And other times one of the councilors will be somehow glitch and start flying 15 feet off the ground for the rest of the match.

That just means everyone can be The Chad now. Also I just realized the bird bath kill is listed as "Bird Brained" on the results screen rather than Bird Bathed. This whole time I thought the developers were listing the kills the same way Strong Bad narrates Teen Girl Squad.

Still I got Part 2 and Part 8 Jasons so I'm not really upset about it.
