Bought the game on PS4 and sent a request to be a Goon Camper. I will be playing over the next 2 days pretty well constantly with Swordfish Duelist so feel free to send an invite or join us.

I really loving love Jason X's design. He's got probably my favorite hockey mask just for how weird and square it is.

The pig mask is easily my favourite mask and Jason looks great in X with the ragged straight jacket/chains and everything. Obviously Uber-Jason is fun too, but we better get both versions is all I'm saying.

2 unique machetes too!

I've accepted all outstanding requests to join Goon Campers. Hope to get a game going, but I'm pretty sure it's still not possible to join private matches or parties if you have a different region's version of the game.

So I guess I disrespected some ancient bushido honor? A pubbie kept yelling at me that he had a pocket knife. So I axed him instead of grabbing. He was upset.

My first round as Jason was a 7/7 killed. 10/10 will Jason again.

Yeah, I've gotten to a point where I only do grab kills if I have a counselor alone and even then I'll ax 'em to hobble 'em first. In most situations, though, just axing people to death is the smart move. It's much quicker, they can't wriggle away from you by jamming a button, and you don't have to worry about pocket knives or being stuck in an animation that leaves you vulnerable to other counselors. As a bonus, if the counselors are grouped up then it's easy to injure/kill multiple at once.

It's not anywhere near as cool but it tends to often be the much better option if you're actually trying to win. I'd say they need to rebalance that but they'd probably just nerf Jason's melee power, which would suck.

I'm all for doing cinematic kills but if a dude keeps threatening me that he has something to counter my grab than he shouldn't be surprised when I don't do it. Haha

ꜱʜʀɪᴍᴘ?
I had a game as Jason last night where the counselors were determined to get the 4-seater out, despite backing it up against a cabin wall. I camped out on that spot and took out four of the remaining five, but then something weird happened. Kenny was in the driver's seat of the wrecked car, but I couldn't grab him. I tried to axe him through the car, no dice. Throwing knives didn't do poo poo either. My sense displayed him right there in the driver's seat. Time ran out after ten minutes of this.

Then after the game, Kenny asks 'What were you doing? I was watching you the whole time. I was super injured too. What? No, I wasn't inside the car. I could hear you talking, could you not hear me?'


pretty dope bug.

Are you on a console? If so, it's caused by the rear end in a top hat host quitting when he dies. The game has no host migration, so it kicks everyone when that happens.

Yes, I know. Usually it will say the host has left, though. These past few times the game will just hang for about 10-15 seconds, the timer will stop, but people will continue walking in the direction they were going until it disconnects.

i feel like jason should be able to shove the car like 10ft one direction in return for consuming his shift cooldown, crushing anyone on the other side. that's the net effect when some dickmuncher is running circles around the car only this way it adequately expresses how loving stupid that strategy is.

I do like the idea of periodic Jason updates. One of my favorite moments in this game is the first time trying to escape in the car and run Jason over only for him to stop it dead in his tracks.

I also think you should be able to use survivors weapons against them, that would be cool. Like maybe you could impale someone on their own fireplace poker or shoot themselves in the mouth with a flare gun like in Dredd.

Apparently if you finegle a bit on the left side of the bug-bridge you can get under there at least 1/3rd of the way as Jason which can get you there.

Is anyone having a problem on the PS4 with their controller disconnecting at random times? It happens to me at least 2 or 3 times every single match and it's gotten me killed a few times when I suddenly stop running without warning while I'm being chased by Jason.

It only happens in Friday the 13th and not any other game, and started up after the recent patch. Any suggestions on how to deal with this problem since it's becoming really annoying to deal with?

I tossed a knife through a broken door and nailed some poor Adam who was readying his shotgun. :haw:

Can't stop playing Jason 7. More of my regular buddies are starting to follow my "don't grab kill counselors unless they're heavily injured or poo poo talking" approach and it's making the game a total blast. Party chat gets rather, uh, questionable late at night mind.

That happened to me on Xbox. I was about to climb through a window with Jason chasing me and another counselor. I ended up becoming an immovable wall preventing that player from also going through the window. Needless to say we both died there.

You can't run Jason over. He automatically stops the car when you hit him.

It'd be cool if Jason could be alerted through the dumb poo poo counselors usually do in these movies, but it'd probably either be counterintuitive or overly controversial.

I was kinda surprised how often it does happen in pub games all things considering. I think the most common thing I've bumped into is the "magic / AD&D" JR and Mickey Mouse Jason... It's fun when a few players are into it, too bad lobbys don't tend to stick together long enough. You have a fun game or two then you get dumped into a lobby with silent types. Boo.

In silent lobbies you use stalk creatively and play silly music, wrestler themes work like Edge or Chris Jericho, something that also ALWAYS elicits a reaction are horror themes from the wrong movies like Halloween or Freddy's theme.
