I hate playing as counselor because it feels like interesting gameplay ends for the most part after 7-8min. Most cabins have been looted at that point and objectives that are going to get done have already been done. So you're basically just looking for poo poo people missed and dealing with Jason. Or watching people do those things which is even worse.

In my experience if they haven't won the game by 7 minutes it's going to be an 8/8

When playing as Jason, is there something you can do against somebody with no fear buildup who's just sitting in a hiding spot waiting for the match to end? I was morphing around checking all the houses and hiding spots, and I only just happened to get lucky when I was about to leave a house after a cursory scan and heard the exhale. It's not fun for Jason, it's not fun for all the other dead people, and all you get for it is an extra 200 experience. Like what is even the point?

Other non-complaining observations: I played a round with a Jason who pretended to be Mickey Mouse, which was a lot funnier than it sounds. One guy got let off the hook for saying that Mickey was so much better than Donald, Goofy, and all the other Disney characters. There must have been a physics glitch in one round as Jason was killing someone, because I suddenly saw the red minimap marker flying across the map out of bounds, and a few seconds later we won. I had a pretty amazing game as Tommy, where I was trying to help the last surviving counselor call the cops. He died, and after giving Jason the runaround for a bit, I managed to fix the phone, kite Jason, call the cops, and kite Jason some more until the cops came, finally escaping just as the cops opened fire on him. I had a lucky break when one of the houses I jumped into had both a healing spray and a pocket knife. I think he was somewhat inexperienced, because I managed to manually break free twice and I don't think he realized he had rage, but it was nail-biting nonetheless. 404notfound fucked around with this message at 09:55 on Jun 5, 2017 |

I'm not really sure what you want to happen in this situation? It is actually very difficult for survivors to stay hidden, especially when Jason is investigating the area. Simply being near Jason is enough to start raising your fear. Hiding in a building doesn't stop the building from lighting up to Sense - all it does is buy the survivor a little time forcing Jason to check beds and listen for the survivor to either freak out because they didn't hold their breath or exhale because you can't hold your breath for more than a few moment.

I have had so many of my quick play lobbies fill up with people with Chinese characters in their name, then when the game starts they all quickly leave if they didn't get Jason. The guy (with Chinese characters in his name) playing Jason is super duper angry in broken english as he makes the kills. Anyone else finding this?

So i had no idea this game had actually come out on consoles? Is this game worth going through the brokeness it supposedly has to be worth the $40? The OP makes it sound magical. Also it seems there's more of a community on PS4 than Xbox but all my friends play on xbox

Technical issues on PC have been mostly resolved. Aside from a few days of lovely login / database issues, it's been fine. I cannot speak to consoles, they are still having problems I guess? I've had way more than 40$ of fun-value from this game, thanks to Goons. Once you're decent enough, even public matches can be fun as you clown on Jason and get everything done, or wreck 8/8 with Jason.

Tinfoil Papercut posted:You'd be surprised. No, no I wouldn't. I spent ages in one round looking for the propeller as I has fueled the boat and Jason and the rest of the counselors stuck to the other side of the map. Eventually, Jason came for me. I flare gunned him, dove into the building nearest the boat and grabbed a weapon that I had seen earlier on the table. It wasn't a weapon, it was the propeller  I deserved my death after that.

Still kinda annoyed about the console versions being buggy as hell. Dropping games, etc but still having a lot of fun and always roleplaying Jason as close as I can to his iteration. Part 8 only does the head punch off kill, for instance. Never dodge shotguns either. You TANK it. Jason doesn't serpentine!

The goons and Duster have gotten good at killing Jason. The counterplay? Roll Jason III and go ham with LMB.

I try to force these our as early as possible in the game. If someone has one, I chase until they feel they have to use it. There are only so many flare guns and shotguns on the map, and now you won't have it when you are trying to get the car going.

There was a beautiful half day on Sunday where the quickmatch feature was working and every lobby I entered I ended up as Jason. Then I unlocked part 8, the quickmatches stopped again and every lobby I joined the host would elect themselves Jason. Got a few rounds in at part 8 though. Wasn't expecting to like him, but he's pretty good and deserved a better movie.

Had a lot of fun playing this for the first time yesterday. Anyone on PC who is on the fence, go for it. There's enough goons that private games were getting filled fast and everyone was friendly and having a good time. What's the preferred method of getting around as a counselor? Should I be sneaking everywhere, jogging around, or what?

Try the trick where you avoid the door-buster animation - you'll have half the map broken down in no time. Perfect for stalking into those cabins later on.

There's enough goons that private games were getting filled fast and everyone was friendly and having a good time. Generally jogging is good, though sneaking can be important later on when there's only a few of you left since Jason's likely to go for the more noisy players first. Just keep in mind you don't want to blow all your stamina and run into trouble unexpectedly, so jogging with short walking/crouching breaks if you're going long distances can be a good idea. The noise issue becomes a bigger and bigger problem the more stealth characters there are on your team, particularly if you aren't one of them. I've noticed even early on Jason will go for the non-stealth folks just because they're more noticeable than the others, which can lead to some real quick deaths if you're not ready for it. And keep in mind that if you're in the woods alone, you want your flashlight on to minimize fear gain. More fear = more noise = more visible to Jason. Ducking into lit buildings kills your fear pretty quickly too (which is why Jason wants to cut the power whenever possible).

There's enough goons that private games were getting filled fast and everyone was friendly and having a good time. The answer is: it depends. When the match starts, Jason is at his weakest with the longest cooldowns. He is generally easy to get away from, and has a lot of things on his priority list that needs doing if he is any good. The odds of him taking the time to chase you down are slim unless you make some really stupid mistakes and look like an easy kill. If he is going after you, you're probably in the house with the phone or near to it. As such, you generally want to grab things and loot cabins as fast as possible early game. If you're a Vanessa or Bugzy, you can sprint around without too much fear of him suddenly rolling up on you. I usually dart around cabins as fast as I can early-game. Also, I would discourage more than one counselor per cabin early game, as you're not looting as efficiently as you could be. Once you get a little deeper into the game jogging becomes the preferred method, and you'll want a bit of stamina reserved almost always. This may or may not hold throughout the end of the match depending on your counselor. Sneaky types probably want to be more sneaky as the match progresses. Again, this all depends on the Jason, the counselor, how long the match has been going on for, and what you're near to.

I watched the special features containing the horrible workprint quality deleted gore scenes. It's too bad that footage is lost, the head crush and sleeping bag kill were so much better there. Which version of the remake did you watch The Theatrical version basically had that be a never ending softcore sex scene for virtually no goddamn reason. The Killer Cut actually gave it a purpose, though it was still pretty gratuitous.

Another good counter one for Jason- if you hear mother, you get the gently caress back there right now right now right now. Duster was lucky you had already came in as Tommy and even then I barely survived thanks to the space.

If you know people are likely to attempt a J-Kill Scenario, it doesn't hurt to throw a trap down in your hut doorway, if you've got some to spare. Not all Jasons can really 'waste' it there though.

Nah that's not what I'm talking about. I have a distinct memory of watching a lovely modern horror movie where they cut to someone's breasts, but it's clearly an actress wearing a not-too-convincing prosthetic so she doesn't have to show her actual breasts, then the rest of the scene is shot to avoid showing anything. I think it was the remake but it could be a completely unrelated film from around the same time.
