Wh...What? WHAAAAA :aaaaa:

I was watching a chad and a hippy clown a Jason outside the exit. Just bashing him down, knifing him, knocking each other out of his grip. Then *poof* he just vanished holding the hippy across the map.

I mean it COULD have been a bug. I'll have to try this from now on. Teleporting everyone to the love shack.

I love that, as if there's some honor code Jason is suppose to follow. The code is always whatever is best for the counselor.


My hot take on Jason IV:

The strongest early-game Jason. The combination of run speed, weapon damage, and destruction means you can put an immense amount of pressure on early game cabins to deny objectives and looting.

Later on his flaws become more noticeable, especially once rage is active then he is (arguably) worse than Jason III (As rage nullifies the destruction bonus which means Jason III is equal in strengths, plus grip strength and no loss to swim or shift speed.)

If you can keep the counselors on the backfoot and pick them off early, he may be the best for skilled Jason players as the chances of them getting an objective together are low. Defending the police phone may be a lower priority too, as you are much less capable at chasing a car or boat. Overall I think he's very strong and competes for top 3 Jasons depending on your playstyle.

I think its the strongest overall. Run+destruction is perhaps the best combination of strengths. With my previous favorite (part 2), I would never chase anyone early on because it was pointless: without shift you'd spend several minutes just breakind down doors as counselors regain stamina to full. But with destruction and run, it is simply impossible for them to recharge fully.

I was playing last night, and the 'barricade the door' action still works only 50% of the time :allears: I want to see the code for this game so badly but it's still the funnest drat thing.

Also I had a Vanessa in a hold, a Fattie used firecrackers so of course Vanessa floated away while still in the 'I'm being strangled by Tom Sizemore' animation.

The Evil Dead one is in JGTH. This is a copy of the book Necronomicon by HP Lovecraft.

Edit: on pocket knife horders... if I grab you once and you have a pocket knife I will grab you again. If you have TWO pocket knives, I'm going you slash you to death. This isn't a strategy, I'm just pissy like that.

Oh neat, my memories of how Lovecraft described the Necronomicon are hazy. Still weird they would make the one reference without the other but :shrug: it's a couple of really neat Easter eggs.

If they put that much work into just Jarvis's house I can't wait to see the cool poo poo they do with Virtual Cabin.

Also I think I found a Pamela tape a few games back but I never actually bothered to check the menu to confirm.

Here's a new one for me. I go to smash a window and don't. Then, the "smash" prompt doesn't go away and I can't do anything bar grab. Seen it happen to other people too and you can't use the face-button kills and you can only do enviromental kills... BUT... They're all out of "synch" so I've seen people getting their arms pulled off around invisible trees and poo poo. Hahahah.

Plus, still, no bloody skins for Jason. :(

Well kudos to that dude for escaping an eternal chad beatdown.

edit: Not sure if this is another glitch us us "seeing behind the curtain" so to speak. But every now and then in the (quick match) lobby people are being "assigned" to be Jason. Not sure if the host is doing that or if the "Jason Picker" is usually invisible or what.

Same, I started with 2 because I watched the first to death before I ever saw the Jason ones. They really got everything perfect and it's so cool to see those locations in the movies after spending so much time with them in the game. I can't help but mentally think while I watch, "Watch out, Jason's gonna morph!".

First time back on the game in months. Host quits ten minutes in.

Next couple games I’m Jason, and proceed to get clowned on by counselors who seem to be experts at being just out of reach. Embarrassing.

Seems like everyone is getting back into it. I just got stomped as Jason. I haven't done that poorly ever. 1/7. Clowned on the whole time. Ping seems to really matter because I was like 160 vs everyone else's 35 or so. I couldn't grab or hit anything.

Role-playing with the stoner/hippy counselor is hella fun and gave me an amazing game. Using my best (that is worst) Tommy Chong impression, I proceeded to meander around the Jarvis map talking to anybody who'd listen about nature, White Castle burgers, and my Grateful Dead mix-tape.

Then Jason found me as I was searching a cabin with someone else. He punched off the other counselor's head which prompted me to fully blather about my dank being laced with something " 'cause it looked like her head went out into infinity, brother." Jason then walked out the cabin and disappeared into the night.

Later, in the Jarvis house proper, Jason spotted me again. As he's barreling towards me I call out, "Hey hockey-face-man!" I kited him to the fridge where I asked him to open it since I seemed to have smoked so much the doors welded shut. As he grabs me, I offer to split my pint of Cherry Garcia and ask him if he'd seen my mixtape. Inexplicably, I'm dropped and he teleports away.

Finally, I ran into another counselor with a gas can. Someone already managed to get a battery in the car and I had the keys. I pass the keys over since I'm clearly too stoned to drive. Instead of taking me to White Castle like I asked, they drive off without me. I jog down the road to find that Jason had stopped the car and dragged the driver out.

"Hey! Hockey-face-man," I call out. I walk on up to Jason, ignoring the now corpse of the buzz kill who left me behind. I ask him if he could drive me to White Castle. He continues to stand there as I prattle on about how great those little burgs are, how great my mix-tape is, and if he'd ever hot-boxed an entire cabin before.

He just stood there, motionless and silent for minutes as I continued on my stoner tirade. Then he was gone. Teleported without so much as a word or attempt to kill me. I then hopped into the car and drove off (slowly and stopping frequently, cause what if a cop catches me, man?).

The best escape I've had in months.

I just did something I’d never thought I’d do. I had literally just changed my preference to counselor when I start a game with a new group, but I still end up being Jason. I’m getting completely clowned on by a big coordinated group that is just trash talking the entire time, so I just up and rage quit. Starting to remember why I don’t play online games....

I think I was having some weird syncing issues most of the night. The game said my ping was fine but Jasons kept being able to grab me from 10+ feet away and a couple of times when I picked up an item it would take several seconds appear in my hand. Anyone else have issues with this?

e: Also, my meter for struggling out of grabs would fill way more slowly than usual when I wasn't scared or injured and mashing E did almost nothing to speed it up.

So is there some kind of glitch with the boat on the Jarvis House map or is just 2 guys working together?

I'm in a game right now where a Tiffany is the last one alive and hosed up getting the boat started so Jason teleported in. She managed to actually get in and start the boat and is now just idling there. The boat has not moved since it was turned on. It kinda looks like Jason tried to tip the boat over but couldent and tried to grab her out a few times before giving up. She's not moving or anything either.


So either these dudes are working together and Jason was just putting on a show to make it look like he coulden't kill her or something very wrong is going on right now.

There's been some glitches on Jarvis map. I went inside a tent once and it made my body drop dead in front of the tent, while I was alive inside. I couldn't get out and jason couldn't grab me. Eventually he kept hitting the tent so that at a certain angle my headless body stood up and he could hack me to death.
