Sleepaway Camp 3 is awesome (especially the flagpole kill) but like someone said, the kills were heavily neutered for reasons I don't understand. You can see the cut parts in the special features of the blu-rays but they're basically upscaled SD. The movie would have been so much better if they'd left that stuff in.

Buy the blu-rays, y'all. They look great.

This. The Scream Factory blurays of the Sleepaway Camp franchise look fantastic. I love that dumb series so much, but gently caress "Return to Sleepaway Camp" and that garbage hack job someone released a few years ago as the "Lost" sequel "Sleepaway Camp 4: The Survivor"

gently caress that movie and the guy who put it out.

I swear it's random how likely he is to appear. I played for a good 80+ hours before ever finding one of him in a bathtub. Now I run into him periodically

I think a neat mechanic would be the option for Jason to hang bodies of counselors he's killed in different locations. It happens in the movies all the time but in the game they're just laying where they're killed, and half the time that means they're laying in the middle of the woods where nobody will find them and get their fear up.

I guess something useful for the counselors would also be for items dropped by dead counselors to shine a little bit so you can see where they're at.

I feel your pain, but I've made it a tradition to watch at least the first two Sleepaway Camp movies once a year around summer time so I don't feel so bad.

The UK Hellraiser box set I imported (3 months before the loving US edition was announced for release) was totally worth it

I think they need to fix the interaction notifications period because sometimes you have to literally be on top of a dropped item to pick it up. That and just making things slightly easier to see. The gamma slider they added did help considerably on Xbox because that game was dark as hell for a while to the point where I could barely see anything.

I don't think so. I'd probably just use preparedness anyway so I could head straight for the water without having to look for a map. Not that I'd NEED a map to find the water, but being able to watch the movements of other counselors would help with the boredom, and the -fear is always nice.

I play exclusively with randos, in 50 levels I've never grouped, and I'm having a ton of fun. Every game is a new set of personalities and a new set of challenges to work with.

I have two tips for enjoying Quick Play: 1) Be willing to play a repair character, Buggsy, Tiffany, and Vanessa seem to be rando favorites. 2) Bail if the lobby is toxic. It never gets any better.

I wonder if I could have just ran around full sprint for the remainder of the match instead of trying for the car as it did not seem like I was losing stamina at any point.

I also should have went into the water too see how AJ's demonic possession felt bout swimming.

Whatevet, there's always the next time someone pointblank flaregun's Tinfoil during a grab attempt.

You don't need it; I'd get the general avoid being sensed perk, dump everything on AJ, bolt rear end to the lake and find a weird spot that Jason will never look at, especially if there isn't a boat, as far from the shore as you can possibly get. Then pull up YouTube and watch something on your phone and wait.

Even if you die, it'll take a long time for Jason to find you, and the other players will be so butthurt... someone might even report you to IllFonic!

It's probably MORE fun with randos than it would be with friends, because of the constant change of people and the chemistry (or lack thereof) of the various groups you're tossed into. None of my friends are brave or foolhardy enough to dive into a $40 game, I guess due to lack of interest or the price or thinking "it's a 'knock-off' of Dead by Daylight" or whatever.

It's like they don't believe me when I tell them how awesome it is. Like I thought it just looked "okay" from watching streams but it wasn't until I played it that it really clicked. And watching streams is even better because now I get it.

e: But as a fair warning, you will occasionally be a Jason against an Organized Team of Friends who all pick counselor preference and you WILL get your rear end handed to you. Sometimes you'll run into cocky YouTube Superstars who are surly and uncooperative and fishing for Highlight Reel Moments, who will not help you when you need it and will just be out for themselves and will rage quit if Jason grabs them. But I'd say 99% of the people you play with will be cool and chill.

That's cool and all but this was Part 3 (8 bit) Jason and his name had the word "Trolling" in it, and he was mic-spamming some bagpipe song.

There was a Tommy Jarvis just standing by a creek and Jason teleported straight to him to kill him. Then shortly after, clear across the map in a cabin the final AJ was killed with Jason Shifting straight into her.

Very easy. The best thing is that generally you expect to die as a Counselor so if you die early that's fine.

stop staring at me

Lately I've been running into Jasons that are remarkably good at shift-grabs. Despite my best efforts to juke them, they're always able to go directly into a grab.

I know the developers have stated that you should essentially consider yourself dead if Jason grabs you, but I wonder if they're ever going to do something about shift-grabs. Like, that's great and all, but it doesn't seem quite right to me that Jason should be able to get a guaranteed grab on you if you're anywhere near him outside of a house.

Hi everyone!

So I've learned three things from pubbies tonight:

1. If you're in the water, Jason makes a red glow on the surface that counselors can see. Please remember this. I felt like an rear end in a top hat calling them hackers for waiting until I morphed away.
2. There is a perk that lets you force the 5 minute police phone call to 3:50. So if you go to pick up the phone and some shitlord is all "Wait I have the perk" you know what they're talking about.
3. If you're playing on a public server your poo poo will be lagged to goddamn hell always no question. Just play with Goons. Forever. I don't want to play this game with normal people anymore. It loving sucks not being able to run from Jason, or being Jason and shifting past people, because lag just decides you're either standing still or moving at the goddamn speed of light.

The developers did a really good job of easing the player into the game with the first couple of counselors/Jasons available, gives you a chance to figure out how the game works as well as how you feel most comfortable playing.

I don't like the melee combat for counselors because it feels too imprecise, but a couple rounds as Adam changed my mind. I'm still not crazy about it but at least having a fighting chance is nice.

Most people I've played with on Xbox, pubs and Goons have been really cool and helpful. You'll run into poo poo heads for sure, but generally the community is pretty cool and if you get into a game as a counselor and you come across another player, don't be afraid to ask for advice, most are willing to help you out.

Keep a couple basic thoughts in mind pre-game:

What do you want to do?
Who will be best equipped to do what you want?

If you want to try and fix stuff, go with someone with good repair.

Want to just gently caress around and see what mechanics are, any of the opening counselors are good for getting a handle on things.

As you play more, and especially when playing with the same groups, you'll start to figure out the more complex stuff about the game and then the fun really begins.

Read everything in this thread regarding how to play Jason. Having that basic game plan (phone trapped, car trapped,destroy generators) can be super useful when you first start with Jason because it takes a lot of the pressure off of jumping into that character the first few times.

Also ignore anyone who gives you poo poo for hacking and slashing as Jason. Though you shouldn't kill anyone with it because it's lame as gently caress.
