I haven't wanted to bring it up because I didn't want to start a derail, but I'm extremely happy with Gun's stance against racism and homophobia in their ToS, and the response I've seen from other people in the game. Twice now I've heard people call other players on it, once for racism, and once for homophobia. In both instances, once one person said something about it, several others joined in and supported the person calling out the bad behavior (including, but not limited to me, I broke my "no small talk with randos" rule in this instance). One time it went about as you'd expect, the guy using homophobic language just got worse and everyone ended up muting him. The other time, the guy using racist language actually apologized (half-assed, but still the word "sorry" was used), and the game continued without any further incident.

I realize two personal anecdotes don't necessarily indicate a trend, and it's still just a small drop of decency in an ocean of poo poo, but in 20+ years of online gaming, I don't think I've ever heard random people come together and let other people know that racism and homophobia isn't cool. At the very least, these instances have encouraged me to stop just ignoring and muting assholes and to let them know that their behavior is unacceptable (i.e. "Hey, cut that poo poo out, you little gently caress-stain.") before I mute them.

I think part of the reason this stuff is less prevalent in F13 is that there are only eight people maximum in each match, so often there aren't enough shitlords that they can band together. Also, because you're relying on communication and help from the other counselors, if you piss everyone off, you're probably going to die really quickly.

I love the games where you stop caring about surviving/killing because another player keeps making you laugh. Played a game with a guy named Piano Man who played LaChappa and ran over all the counsellors in the 4 door while blasting Katy Perry's Fireworks over voice chat. It was really dumb, but it made me laugh a lot.

Haha, so on the topic of the ban stuff, this is the top review on the game right now, saw it from elsewhere and then went to check myself.



Now knowing hokey rear end stories like this from 100 different places, I looked into it some because he sounds full of it. Like 3 pages into the discussion and you get this gem.



And a whole one more page comes up with this.

I hope people don't get too zealous with this because sometimes it's fun to dick around as Jason with a counselor. If someone's being particularly funny I'll start playing along as Jason, like a Tommy I was chasing who kept getting his car stuck in trees, or this teenage girl who was laughing and yelling over the mic while she was by herself. I stopped chasing her outright and just kind of jogged along behind her while she casually bullshitted about whatever.

Butthurt liberals always bringing up politics in completely unrelated situations. This thread is supposed to be for bitching about how terrible this game is.

This game is awful and only "good" if you play with friends or strangers with mics and that is pretty much every game ever so it doesn't get points for that.

Otherwise it's a buggy, laggy, unbalanced, grief-prone mess. So many random teamkillers combined with gamebreaking bugs; like being literally invincible in the car if you are driving in the opposite direction as Jason (cause for some reason you can only slam on hoods if they are driving towards you, makes sense!).

If I didn't make so much money id feel robbed of that 40 bucks :smuggo:

Good, gently caress them and their impotent tears. Sorry kiddies, you act like a loving idiot and you get punished.

I'm completely behind Gun on this. Playing with squeakers is one thing, and even talking some poo poo during or after a game is fine but being a giant piece of poo poo deserves a ban, and also why are these idiots rallying behind someone who called a kid a human being?

Did I miss a memo about video games that I should be outraged about really dumb poo poo and anything involving :females: or something?

Your entire post is wrong, but this part is literally, provably wrong. Jason can stop cars that back into him, there are just a bunch of bad Jasons who can't seem to figure this very simple thing out and just try impotently strutting towards the car instead of trying to shift-block it as it backs up.

It's actually pretty standard video game logic that any strike to a car from any side will gently caress up the engine, if not make the car blow up outright.

I'm just wondering where I can get one of those cars from the game, I mean you can beat the everloving poo poo out of them and they'll still start every time.

During a game last month someone teamed up with Jason and actually ended up killing me after I escaped his grasp 5 times.

I came back as Tommy and immediately shot him in the face, and ended up being the only survivor.

It's even easier to do than a forward stop too. It's automatic, doesn't end your shift and you don't have to bother with the animation before moving to grab the driver. Driving backwards is usually only good for baiting out a morph behind you so you can drive forwards again.

Also the car is moving slower, giving even Jason II / VII an opportunity to catch it.

Stalk - morph - shift is the best for stopping cars. A lot of people will begin swerving / off-roading if they hear the music.

That's usually a morph, but yes.

If he's shifting, you want to continue the direction of travel and try to outrun / juke him. If you reverse direction during a shift it will allow him to catch up more easily.

Fun strategy as Jason: If they're playing this gently caress-gently caress game with the car in reverse, use morph to try and get them to switch direction. But don't morph behind them, morph right on top of yourself and then immediately shift. :grin:

The car is a 1979 Chevrolet Chevette, as confirmed in the game files. Since the game takes place in the summer, it can't possibly be an 80 (Crystal Lake map is in 79; new model years don't come out until the fall). By the way? Actually pretty reliable. Easy to work on. The 80s models anyway, I had a neighbor who had one, in yellow even, and it always ran really well. It's parked now, but they bought a Jeep.

I almost want to ask if they want to sell it. Fill the backseat with camping gear and perma-lock the doors. Slap a Crystal Lake bumper sticker on it. Dress as Chad. See if anyone gets it.
