Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I think he recharges everything slightly faster than the others, so the idea is probably to spam abilities to make up for his other problems. But yeah, he *really* needs to not be such a snail when Shifting, none of that matters if he can't catch anything even in super speed mode

I do this no matter which Jason I am unless there's a murder gang out for my blood. It's best to get those pocket knives out of circulation as early as possible.

Part 7 is good for knowing (roughly) where every single counselor is over the whole map. He's very long game, like you're not going to wreck all the counselors in the first 10 minutes but you should at least be able to keep them corralled and away from the objectives until you make a push to start taking them down once they're afraid and out of stamina.

From what I read, the devs say it's because Roy snapped so hard he legitimately thinks he's Jason. Also he's apparently the world's biggest Jason fanboy since he knows about how Pamela's sweater affects J-Man, but the canon kinda supports him being that much of a Jason fan

I think he used an axe on the first few kills, that douche in the car waiting for the chick to come out, then the chick once she comes out?

Okay yeah, 7 is much better here than on most maps. He pretty much has a free Shift across the narrow sections of the river, he can sniff out anyone as usual by traversing upriver. Still not enough to actually make him, y'know...good but baby steps

I’m picturing like that scene in Pulp Fiction, he grabs an axe, then a baseball bat, then a hammer, then a small chainsaw...then he sets his eyes on the hedge clippers and instantly knows.

You know I never really thought of the logistics behind Roy having a goofy foam Jason head. I know a couple hardcore cosplayers and that's not at all a small feat in the '10s, god knows what kind of effort that took before the internet and online international deliveries existed

I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm saying it's impressive :v: I figured Roy was a big ol' Jason nerd before but I'm just realizing tonight the extent of it. I wonder if he already had the Jason head BEFORE his son got axed, or did he have it custom made knowing he was gonna be prowling the woods :murder:

Maybe Tommy had it and he got it smuggled out through his doofus son. "Hi, I'm a random ambulance driver who is totally not your father keeping an obsessive eye over you in secrecy. Get me a mask." "Sure. Want some chocolate?"

I'm alright with the explanation, but oh man the ambulance was basically tailored for this game, his shithead coworker could have been hanging out the side to still make counselors panic like when they see Alice :( I imagine the big issue was finding someone to voice his son instead of Pam, and all the issues surrounding that.

Meanwhile the bots are still really stupid, although it seems like they're marginally less prone to hiding in a closet in plain sight of you. Also they'll still magic up knives and parts faster than anyone should be able, even if it doesn't matter much because they're dumb dumbs

Speaking of though, the animation for his intro is so smooth compared to the earlier ones.

A nit pick is the counselors (and fox) just standing around Pinehurst doing nothing, but still. So smooth

Also wow, Pinehurst turns Part 8 into a beast. All of 7's advantages of being able to zip along the river and none of his disadvantages of being bad.

And Tommybot still does his goddamn campfire spaceout

I hate that the hedge clipper's kills are so great and the weapon itself is kinda janky looking during normal gameplay. He just swings it by one handle and it's a little weird looking.

Otherwise Roy's alright, he's basically Part 9 but without the grip strength and Part 6's knives. Also jogging.

The new map is really good. I think it's their best work, actually.

It's about the size of the Jarvis House map but much more dense. There's 19 cabins in total, 3 of which are unique. The main lodge is really nicely detailed and has 6, SIX, exits. Barn is nice and spacious with a hilarious murder room in the middle of it. The random-rear end massive orange orchard is fun to run around in.

Map spawns with a boat every time, and there are 3 boat exits, which is interesting. Car can be either 4 seater or 2 seater, and there are also 3 exits for them. Police can spawn in 3 places.

The map is really big and the water placement is such that water-speed Jasons can have a field day.
