Nobody cared about the franchise, and in the end what we got was a purple Jason with a sky blue hockey mask."

I just had one of my best matches as a Jason. I was part 6, which is my favorite film, and just slowly picked off each counselor. I tried my best to commit to the Jason character, moving slow, being silent, dividing and conquering. My favorite part was early on, I was stalking a kid and he stops and begins shouting, "Dude, dude please! Let me live and I'll show you where the others are!"

So I killed him with the head impale and took the rest out one at a time. I can't get over how much fun this game is when it develops its own organic and fascinating moments.

I have never seen one of these people actually survive the match, personally. But yeah, it is poo poo and makes me wonder why they would even play. Besides Jason kill unlocks and perk stuff points are not super important and if you are spending your game time in walls perks are not doing you much good anyway.

Ok so on an unrelated note are Pamela tapes even real?? I thought I saw something that said they only could be found on Fridays but I played pretty much all day yesterday and found gently caress all. I should have found at least one you game developer bastards :argh:

I had two great moments with two different Jasons tonight. In one, a nasally Nerd Jason had me as the last person on the map with the only progress made was the cop escape. Everybody else died in far away corners of the map or ragequit, two-seater car was the only car with gas even in it. So he eventually finds me, and then starts nerdily commanding me to go to the tents to show off the sleeping bag kill. Except I don't quite follow the rules and go into the "wrong" tent, which glitches the game out on his end and I disappear for him... or get stuck in the tent or something. To me it just looked like I was crouched in front of the tent entrance. He does get a weapon kill and I see the animation, he just doesn't see me getting killed.

The second one was a Jason who tried to cover the cop exit with all of his traps in a row. I have a bat, but I swing and miss on my way to the exit. So he grabs me thinking he's got me, but I have a knife and stun him. I just run straight through the gap in his traps to the escape.

And yes it was my first and only escape so far

Hopefully double XP weekend will put an end to dumb poo poo glitching because once you hit level 31 there's literally zero reason to rack up those points.

I had a dude glitch into a ceiling (not sure if it was on purpose, but he wasn't on top of the ceiling like that Vanessa). I couldn't exactly hit him, so I went and killed everyone else. When I came back, he was still stuck there, so I started smashing at the door frame. Eventually a lucky swing actually got him and he was all butthurt "oh sure smashing the door frame killed me" and I was like, "dude, you glitched into the ceiling, don't be a tool about it." He disconnected right after.

Okay Chad, that was a great idea to hide behind a corner for five straight minutes after the rest of us all died. Just needed to not whiff when Jason rounded the corner, yelp like a girl and then die.

I like getting new clothing!

Also, they shouldn't fix the glitching, they should make it so those areas are automatic death zones and you lose a ton of points so everyone that does it will keep trying and keep getting killed and losing a bunch of points.

Not until I have epic versions of all the good perks like Swift Attacker.

Also want a version of Slugger with no stun chance penalty. I bonked Jason with a bat once while having an 8% decrease and he didn't go down. No thank you, bats and wrenches are easy enough to find.

If I chose to slot no grab kills I can still grab dudes and bring them to context spots, right? I may start doing that just to keep things interesting when I play Jason, which feels like half the games I play lately.

So I had a perfect match as Jason 7 today.

Packanack, everything spawned at the big house, and one poor lost soul ran in a random direction directly into my house. I felt bad about killing them, but really, it's Part 7 Jason.

Terry tried to hide on the roof so of course Venus murdered him from below with the shotgun. Three people tried to use the boat to escape which was really nice. Cops never got called, car never got fixed. And I got to reunite with Venus Mother and give her a valentines day present of her own heart.


If you're Part 7 Jason, pray for the best set up.

Tonight I was playing when I heard guys on my team (through the walkie talkie) tell Jason I was escaping on the boat. Jason warped to me, knocked me out of the boat, and killed me. They all laughed about it between games. The next game I changed my character to Chad, killed counselors, attacked other counselors, and escaped to the police with a battery in hand. Chadvenge never tasted so sweet.

Just witnessed an unscripted thing of pure beauty.

Dude in the Northeast of Higgins spawned by the phone house as Deb and the fuse was in the first drawer. Cops called with MY DAD'S A COP in under 30 seconds.

Everyone else spawns at the Southwest deadzone by the car or at Higgins House.

All of us, uncoordinated, say "nope, Jason always comes here first" and we all happen to meet at Higgins camp just north of the main house.

Some of us packing knives, firecrackers, and one dude who grabbed a shotgun, all 7 of us, meet at the same house.

We loudly yell over each other "let him grab me, I have a knife" and "no I'll shoot him".

When the 3:50 counter has run down we all head together, 7 strong, to the Northwest cop exit.

Jason teleports in and shotgun Vanessa blasts him, 3 of us teabag Jason, and all 7 campers run out before the 5 minute mark.

loving. Beautiful.

In the follow up game someone asked, regarding NES Jason, "why does he have this nineties music" and I wanted to cry.

It's how her species communicates

Is early morning on the PS4 just a dumpster fire? I had one game where the host left the game immediate after dying, he died first.

Next game one by one as counselors died they left, the last person to leave, the only other person left alive besides myself (who had just fixed the boat) was the host.

Next game I'm Jason, first person I kill? You guessed it, host, and they left.

Games so rarely last the full 20 minutes, I think they should put a 20 minute search cooldown on people who leave.

I do agree gently caress premature leavers, but I don't think it should be punishable, I do think leavers should be detracted from the total councilors though because I'm often leaving flawless games with numbers like 6/8 despite killing everyone who was alive and on the map who didn't bail out on me.

"As a rule, I never touch anything more sophisticated and delicate than myself."
After watching streams just about daily since release, I've decided to pick this up. In my third game out, it's just me and AJ remaining, and she's in the car en route to the nearby exit. I hop out of the cabin window to shoot Jason, dive in the car and ride to freedom!

Except the instant my feet hit the ground, AJ swerves to avoid Jason, and smashes me into the cabin I'd just escaped from before she's murdered by Jason seconds later.

This is gonna be fun! :haw:

Run around because you have great stamina + speed and horrible stealth anyway, play pointman for people fixing stuff and bop Jason.

Today was the first chance I had to try this. Wow it's fun compared to A.J. I broke two bats and a machete on Jason in my first round as Buggzy.

edit - I still died. I spawned at packanack and decided to stay and gently caress with Jason. I died at the 12 minute mark. People were trying to repair the car while I was messing with him. Someone actually used a med spray on me, that was a first. Really fun.
