Skunkrocker posted:gently caress. It's not Roy. Nope, but that sure does look like the Jarvis house from part 4. Or is that the house the other kids are renting? Either way, new map and possibly Part 4 Jason so I'm good with that. I'm sure Roy will still come at some point. I can't think of another game I keep this close of an eye on for new content announcements/release dates.

We have the sets for parts 1, 2, and 3. 4 is upcoming, so it only makes sense that 5 would be next.

The couple of times I've seen the framerate drop has usually been just before the little "Lag" icon pops up. Or just after. I haven't noticed it as much on the smaller maps either so I dunno. I do really like that if you look at the inside of the shuttered windows, there's dust on them which is a nice little addition. I don't know what it is about this game that makes me willing to be so forgiving of it. Not even because I'm a huge F13 in general but the drat thing has been so much fun since launch, despite the bugs and issues, and the community has been generally pretty cool to play with, the usual Xbox Live riff raff being the exception.

I'm on the Xbox. Probably had something to do with my poor quality. Man, I hope these new updates aren't locked behind high levels. Like, they're expecting people to have been playing non stop and everyone should be level 70 or whatever. I've barely touched the game over the last few months. It'd suck if I had to grind my way to getting Part 4 Jason.

Man, I'm ready for this new stuff. That's not the map I was expecting but it could be really good. I wonder what weapon this Jason is going to have too. It'd be nice to get another proper machete Jason with the classic look to him.

So yeah, right there with you. I don't imagine they'd do that though, like the one freebie skin they've given us so far was for the default starting Jason. I imagine they're sympathetic to the new and casual players, I don't think you're going to have to be level 78 to get Part 4 or anything.

If they're going to level-gate any new Jasons behind higher levels than right now, it'll probably be the ones with weird mechanics, like everyone wants Pamela to have. Stuff that they want to make sure you really understand the game before they hand it over to you. This is kind of how it works right now, with more specialist sort of Jasons as the higher level unlocks. or i think it is. i'll admit i've been high enough level long enough that i don't remember the unlock order anymore. This first brand new Jason is a marketing tool for them and a big deal, so they'll want new players to get their hands on it without too much difficulty I'm sure. Probably level gated but somewhere in the lower end of things. Might just be open from the start too, wouldn't hurt to have more than one option for lv1 players (unless he does something really weird, which i doubt)

Trying to think of what 4's stats would be, I imagine: +Can jog +Strong grab +Sense -Weak Shift -Slow in water -Low defense Or swap the good Sense ability for Part 8's door destruction.

I haven't seen any major bugs since the last Xbox patch but I'm also not playing as much as I have the last few months because the folks I usually play with either haven't been online or have been playing Conan and I can only deal with poo poo head pubs for so long. I mean other than a bit of slow down here and there but like I said before, it seems to only happen before or just after the game lags. I don't think they would level gate new Jasons, or at least not put them crazy high considering part 9 is only like level 31 or something. At this point I'm just leveling to get clothes unlocked because there isn't gently caress else to do with levels right now.

they're very clearly keeping weapons unique per jason iteration so i wouldn't count on seeing any more machete jasons beings that part 7 uses one e: also, movie group i'm a part of wants to watch one F13 movie to celebrate the actual friday the 13th coming up. most people only know the movies by reputation and they've left it to me as the local fan to decide which one we should watch. i'm thinking part 8 because ship, manhattan, julius, and kane hodder. what do you guys think?

I don't think he ever gets a machete in 8. 7's neat just for the finale of Jason VS Carrie but the kills are butchered. Which might be fine as well depending on if any of your group are squeamish

Coolguye posted:what do you guys think? I'm probably in the minority in thinking Part 5 is the best, but the absence of Jason himself might make it not such a good choice for a one-off. I definitely prefer the pre-zombie Jason movies, because after that you could really feel the FCC's tampering. If I had to choose one, I'd probably go with Part 4 for the triple threat of Corey Feldman, Crispin Glover, and Crispin Glover's inimitable dancing skills.

I've revisited the game again, and boy howdy the windows and doors are either glitchy (caught two Jasons getting stuck on their geometry) or they don't break as normal anymore. Also people glitching into hiding spots like outhouses and tents and hiding, physically, in their geometry rather than entering them. Or people getting stuck in the outhouses after Jason breaks down their doors. I had that in the Higgins Haven outhouses next to the lodge in one game. Both having a person stuck in the outhouse. On the other hand, I had a wonderful game earlier as Lachappa, helping out a Tiffany to get a 4-seater going, and when she and I hosed off while the rest of the group decided that a Jason kill would be a worthwhile goal despite lovely communication and screaming young children, we managed to lure their Tommy away from the group into certain safety and away from the rest of the group at Jason's shack. Most of them dying was a nice topping on that shitshow of a match. The three of us left, all Chads that afternoon.

Having now seen all of the films I liked part 4 or 6 best (Can't really decide, 4 is probably truer to the public perception of Jason though and it has Crispin Glvoer being Crispin Glover as hell) and have X in third place for the sheer insanity of that premise. The 2009 reboot is honestly the worst of the bunch IMO. Before I would have said 5 but jesus christ. Raxivace fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Sep 10, 2017 |

If people in the group play the game at all I'd suggest 2 or 3. Personally I think any of 4, 3, or 2 would work. If they don't play the game avoid 2 so you can go with a film that has the iconic mask.

 Despite all this, I still died because spoilers, the one arrow on the minimap is Tommy, who I loving called, and despite the fact that I dropped off both batteries, both keys, and one of the gas cans, nobody installed loving anything. I did literally everything in that match, every single thing, and no one else did anything but die. Like I'm trying not to be bitter but poo poo man literally nothing besides what I did got done. This is why I rely on the Police getting called everyone's loving useless but me. Also I'm not in any way good at this game that's why I always die

As Lachappa I've learned through harsh lessons that other nearby counsulers are pure deadweight who will gladly rat out your hiding spot to Jason for a few more seconds of precious life and that you can only truly rely on yourself. Basically you need to play Tubns like an overweight Rambo (part 1 not 2).

The only people who do are organized groups of friends who play with each other and formed a party. I haven't seen it happen in a while because I figure it got boring but I used to commonly queue up in random games and end up with like 5 AJs whose entire strategy was "hide and do literally nothing else." They'd just jump in a cupboard in the early game then run off to squat in the woods the rest of the time. I get that that can work and "survive the night" gets you a win but I can't imagine "hide for 20 minutes, do nothing else" is fun at all. Lately I've been seeing more teamwork just kind of happen. The issue I think is that a lot of solo queue folks are less likely to have microphones than people who play with friends.

Opening the door opposite of the one Jason's breaking down, then hiding in a bed to make him think you've fled outside is still one of my favorite strategies.

Reboot wasn't really bad at all IMO The reboot is easily the best looking of the whole series, and I really dug their pissed off survivalist berserker Jason. That said, the non-Jason parts of the script kind of dragged. The victims didn't really stand out, and felt really rote. Nothing even close to Crispin "Dead gently caress" Glover. The Chaddest Chad who ever Chadded was great, though.
