Just picked this up today and got to play as Jason on my second match. It was good times. I managed 5 out of 8 but the last guy I was after was really apathetic and talking about how he was good so he didn't care. I punched a hole through his chest while berating him.

So someone was testing it (On 4chins) and it seems like different Jasons might actually have a hidden better or worse 'hearing stat', removed from sense stuff I mean. They were showing videos they'd taken of Part 6 and 7, testing it with a buddy in private, while 7 could see AJ's jogging and whatever constantly, 6 was pretty much deaf in comparison. Also it's not just because of rage either, someone mentioned that apparently raged Jasons lose some hearing power(?), but they had another video of calm Part 6 and they still couldn't hear jogging. Unknown if that's something janky going on or if there's just an undocumented mechanic at work, either way what the hell.

"I could reproduce the video just fine, with Jason 6 not able to hear a jogging AJ from close or from afar, so I decided to test other counselors and suddenly found that Jason was able to hear them jogging no matter where he was on the map. After some more testing I figured something out.

All Jasons have a hidden "hearing" stat that is independent of his Sense ability. Jason 6 and 3 have really lovely sound perception and trying to reproduce that video using them will wield the same results as seen in the video. However Part 7 Jason has amazing hearing abilities, and trying to reproduce that video with him will lead to him constantly hearing AJ if she jogs. This is a completely hidden stat that is independent of Sense because both Jason 6 and 7 has a Sense bonus, yet one hears everything while the other is practically deaf."

Holy poo poo this would explain why I can never seem to find anyone as Part 6 without spamming Sense (and even then :shepface:)

Yeah, I've almost exclusively played part 6 and have an awful time trying to find people until the round is almost over.

Just had two amusing back to back games. First one, I got to try out Part 2 Jason, only to glitch through the bottom of the floor and "die" after killing one person. Stayed with that group for the next match. Got murdered as Chad, but came back as Tommy in time to jump in the car. This is where it gets interesting: person driving backed the entire way across the map because Jason can't stop the car from behind. It was kinda funny to watch us escape while Jason kept spawning in front of us as we backed away from him to our freedom.

That really needs to be the next thing they fix, in that instance there's hardly poo poo that Jason can do except hope that he can Shift or Morph right next to the driver's side and hit E quick enough to yank the driver out.

At least as far as I know, I only played for like an hour or two for the first time last night. But I came across a reverse driver, and tried to Morph not behind but next to the car off the road so they'd hopefully not notice me as I tried to get to the driver. It never worked but I got a brief prompt to yank the driver out at one point.

You can stop the car by morphing behind it. It doesn't trigger the animation but they are forced to drive forward if I'm remembering correctly. Then you shift ahead of them and do the proper car stop.

I'm fairly certain jason can stop the car from behind if they're driving backwards. It should break if they drive into you just as if they hit a tree.

I actually am starting to think it may legitimately be my GOTY, no joke. It's consistently creating the best moments game after game and they all come about very organically. All the mechanics are extremely well designed to produce a very movie-like experience. If not for the launch issues and bugs it might be an even clearer contender.

Yeah, you can definitely stop the car from behind. The driver has a lot more mobility in reverse, though, so a good serpentine is hard to get behind for non-running Jasons. The trick is to be farther up the road (morph or positioning) and start a shift (stalk+shift makes it better) to end right in the rear of the car.

I have only rarely actually properly shifted in front of a car, I usually just try to act as a road block and I depend on the counselors to eventually gently caress up and put the car into a ditch or something. With pubbies its a fairly reliable strategy. I tend to focus pretty hard on the 4-seater though and I try to never let it even get started, because I know I'm no good at stopping it once it is.

My favorite experience in my two times as Jason was getting stuck behind a rail near an exit, trying to Shift out of it to stop a counselor and eventually getting for-real stuck in some rocks right by the bridge.

I do wish there was a more monetary reward for playing as a team. It feels like 50% of my deaths are because I saved a counselor, only to be immediately ditched and killed by Jason. One guy even cracked me with a wrench so I went into injured can't-run mode :mad: We're in this together dammit. Like instead of a flat 500 CP for escaping, make it 100 per survivor or something. Playing as counselor is becoming the prisoner's dilemma except also there's a machete wielding rear end in a top hat hanging around

It can be either.

If Jason is visible on the minimap (like if he's lit up by a flare), when he Shifts you'll actually see his red diamond start zooming off. It's a good way to tell if he's about to hit you.

You do get points for repairing poo poo, but yeah, I think per survivor xp would be nice. It would have definitely made me less salty about the times I repaired poo poo up and then got left to my doom.

This is pretty much one of the truest examples of the whole 'emergent gameplay' thing and why it's great to have enough freedom in the game to make unscripted goofy and awesome things happen.

So

Tinfoil is a prophet of my doom.

Terry had the sweater, I respawned as Tommy. He's across the map. So I rush over to him. I see Jason is somewhere near him so I have to get him to safety and get his mask off of him.

Tinfoil speaks up over discord that I always die instantly as Tommy, which is patently untrue

The moment I walk into the cabin, exactly after Tinfoil said that, Jason grabs me from inside and kills me.


gently caress you Tinfoil you brought that on me
