I SHOULD KEEP MY DUMB MOUTH SHUT INSTEAD OF SPEWING HORSESHIT ABOUT THE ORBITAL MECHANICS OF THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A LAGRANGE POINT IS?
The counselor ragdolls are hilarious. I love seeing whatever awkward position my counselor falls into when I die. And apparently they lose all weight when they die because Jason often ends up kicking me around all over the place when he's merely trampling me to get at another character. The most hilarious thing I've seen in this game is one game where Jason kicked the final counselor into outer space. He merely brushed up against the body and it went cartwheeling up into the sky at a severe angle and very high speed.

Yet another thing that needs to be fixed: There's a small spot under one bridge where counselors can wedge themselves and Jason absolutely cannot get to them. There's not even an angle where you can throw knives at them from the shore. I know this because I had a game last night where three counselors waited out the last ten minutes of the clock on me there. I guess for some people "win at all costs" is more important than playing fair or having fun.

It was so bad that the spectators started messaging me with ideas on how to get to them. I closed the lobby after the game to kick them out and the other counselors told me that if I'd left the lobby open they had been planning to murder the cheaters at the beginning of the next round. It was that bad.

Needs to be a way for Jason to start fires. Burn them out

My only concern for the game is its possible longevity. Like, I appreciate the developers have faith in their game, but the trophies for playing as Jason 1000 times? Uh OK guys. Not even Skyrim yanked 2k hours out of me. :v:

I found a cassette tape in a drawer. I suppose it must be a Pamela tape. I'll upload it later if it isn't already on youtube. Seems they have tapes 1 and 2 there.

It was tape 1.

The drop rate on these must be ridiculously low. I've played like all day every day since release.

20 minutes per game, and 3 minutes of pre-round lobby, 15 seconds of ping status, and 45 seconds of videos and wrapup = 24 minutes per round.

Averaging, at best, 1 turn as Jason per 8 games, that's 3.2 hours per Jason.

3200 hours of game play is a bit much, considering GTA V maxes out at 200 hours for die-hard fanatics, and Skyrim can literally be beaten, every mission and quest and object found and everything completed in under 600.

So basically only one super weirdo is ever going to get the Platinum trophy.

Even if you half that by assuming you play as or against really efficient Jasons, that's still 1600.

You'd have to cheese it by playing a few hundred 1v1 private matches against a suicidal friend. Oh what fun that would be!

And singing Total Eclipse of the Heart while murdering people as Davini Jason was the best. One guy was sooooo pissed off about that.

Oh that's pretty sweet, I didn't even know these dropped in game. I thought they were tied to achievements.

They recently unlocked them or upped the drop rate or something, people have been finding them like crazy. I found my first a couple games ago.

Not that I would do or condone it, but I wonder if you can flex this with CheatEngine. I know I used to muck with drop rates on BL2 because the epic drop was just too low for me. 1% seemed fair.

Haven't heard squat about the PS4 patch in the last 6 hours. Was hoping it'd be done before I got home from work.

Finally unlocked Part 9. Dunno man. The stun resistance is amazing, he gets up crazy fast even from shotguns and bats, and +shift is good for when I need to pop a vanessa asap, but after playing 8 for so long not having destruction hurts.

Executions are pretty great. How to Peel a Coconut is fun but kind of slow. He sticks the axe in the ground and smacks the counselor's head against it. I think you got that one backwards, buddy.

was this on the Crystal Lake map? apparently that was one of the spots they fixed in that bad patch. i found it about 2 days after release and reported it, devs do seem to be taking this stuff seriously.

I've noticed it deadlocks like this til about 9pm (est) when people start giving up, then the bottleneck loosens.

I've also had a lot of luck getting games when I search with a party, which is weird. I don't know how it decides if it should make a new host instance or not, but that may factor into it.

I was lucky enough to spectate a very disappointing goon attempt at failing to kill Jason. I got it started by exchanging hits at the first minute and delaying Jason enough, so that everyone else got set up for the kill. Study up so you can disappoint me further.

Later we tried it following those steps twice more, sometimes it just doesn't work.

The Achievement Hunters actually did a pretty nice stream of the game the other day, though they also revealed one glaring issue if you're not using the built in push to talk feature. If you're talking in the same setting as the player playing Jason, either you're playing in person with one another like they were or using skype or discord or whatever

Jason is going to have SUCH AN EASIER TIME KILLING YOU. He is going to always know what you're doing at all times and you will never be able to properly coordinate or trick him.

Being short on people is also making the game very hard. It does leave a terrible impression to people watching. Thinking the game is unbalanced because Jason is immortal and kills counselors like ants.

I don't know how they'd get a work around on that.

Maybe have the killer be in one of their other offices, but that raises some questions like how they determine how to switch them out.

And yeah, having only five people VS one Jason is super unbalanced and screws you up really bad.

Being Jason in the first ever game when you don't know any of the controls sure makes you feel inadequate. Choked out Corey Feldman though, so I had that going for me.

If there are no living/unescaped counselors left, does the game end early? It ran the full time, but damned if I could find the last 1-2 counselors in the last 5 minutes.

The game ends after a time limit if everyone isn't dead or escaped.

I wonder how things will shake out once everyone knows what they are doing. I honestly don't know how you deal with a competent Jason since it isnt hard putting the only three escape routes on lockdown, especially if the phone is near one of the cars.

Is there any game mechanic to encourage counselors to work as a team other than the 'everyone survives' bonus which rarely seems to happen without an AFK/really incompetent Jason?

Certain perks encourage and reward being with others and helping them.

Also trying to kill Jason REQUIRES team work.

I've only won once without team coordination. I found the fuse, found the phone, and ran my rear end out. Every other win has been the result of me finding someone else with one of the components I need and working together to escape.
