When are they going to add the option for me to host?

I have gig internet and don't rage quit. Out of my last 50 games maybe 4 of them were played to completion.

While I appreciate them adding another skin, what's the point of adding it when using the skins still causes the game to black screen?

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

It seems more like a weird problem with certain maps. Like trying to use Nintendo Jason on Packanack will cause a freeze, but elsewhere he's fine.

Haha I know. Usually that means the Jason should stock up on knives but its just another thing where riduculousness can be exploited against a superpowered monster who can't flip a table. :)

Imagine if they quietly gave Jason the ability to push tables/couches/cars into counselors. That would be such an “oh poo poo” moment on par with the first time you try to run Jason over.

Jason can already push the car a little from the side. I don't know if it's supposed to happen but it does.

I was chasing someone once, and managed to flick Shift, then zip right behind them through the door and into the cabin. Once they locked up, they turned around and :murder: They really did an amazing job of making Jason's skills replicate poo poo that would happen in the movies :allears:

I was Part 8 too, so it was extra accurate. That guy was all over the loving place in the movie

Stalk is absolutely wonderful for jumpscares. I had one of my usual "I'm terrible at Jason" games the other day, with what seemed like a pro team kicking my rear end, running away, repeat. The most verbal one on the mic ducks into the boathouse, gets cocky and opens a drawer with me right behind the group. So I stalk, waltz up behind him, grab. "OH poo poo!" *head punch*

I've just encountered a new form of counselor griefing. Get you and several of your friends together, locate objective pieces, then hide. You don't see the parts on the map until Jason finds you and kills you, so everyone else ends up searching fruitlessly for parts. 2 or 3 counselors can effectively do this if they each hold 1 part each and can hold multiple keys/the fuse.

Yeah, I've been doing that one for awhile. In fact I did it in a few games we played last night. I can't remember if that was after you left, though.

I'm finally getting around to watching Crystal Lake Memories, and drat, I really like the idea one of the actresses floated about all of the surviving Final Girls getting drawn out of wherever life took them post-Jason to fight him one more time.

Then I realized that's basically the plot of It, but it's still a neat idea.

I found it funny that so many surviving final girls were asked back but said no because they wanted to kill their character. I wouldn't go back for that either.

Let Jason attack tables/couches like he does doors. Takes a few hits and has the locked-in animation of proper door-breaking, so it gives a councilor time to gently caress off.

In Rage Mode, he just double fist slams it like a car hood to snap it in two.

They really hosed this game in the last 4 months. Every drat game is just people trolling Jason.

Lachappa and Deb should not be able to whip Jason's rear end with a wood plank or a pot for 10 minutes. No one should.

If at any point in a game dev meeting someone suggests "maybe Jason shouldn't be an unstoppable killing machine" the resounding answer should be "no, you're fired".

Skilled Jasons should not be going 2/8 on kills. And this isn't sour grapes. I'm clowning on high level Jason players with Jenny and Chad. It's gotten obscenely easy to do.

Jenny and Chad are two of the best characters in the game. Jenny has max composure so she can hide without Jason being able to find her for at least 15 minutes and it also makes it super easy to break out of grabs. Chad is really fast and it usually takes forever for his weapons to break. Also, they did away with pretty much all the changes they made that benefit counselors a couple of months ago and it's probably harder to survive a good Jason now than it was when the game came out. Sorry to burst your bubble, but those are either not high level Jasons you're clowning on or the RNG just really hosed them over that round.

Yeah, I've noticed if someone is doing the good old "Hit you, run away, dance, hit you again" thing it's almost invariably a Chad. Little poo poo is about as fast as Vanessa, only he's better since he can also get away with endlessly cheap shotting Jason.

Yeah, his stamina is a bit lower but he has a 9 in speed where Vanessa has 10. He's faster than Buggzy.

Honestly if Jason's remotely smart, he will not even attempt to engage Chad. Leave him be, his composure sucks and he can't repair for crap. Do other things, let Chadface kick in, then go kill him.

I managed to roll an rare Sucker Punch and a Epic Swift Attacker. With that and Medic equppied, I can be a great Jason annoyer as a Vanessa especially if I can distract him for a while, as I discovered in one match. Seriously, a Vanessa with those perks is a nightmare for any Jason since they can run for ages and be a complete pain to catch.

I joined a quick play lobby and ended up in Packanack with a part 8 Jason. Almost immediately I found a First Aid Spray and a wrench. I headed down to the main house to grab a map and immediately spotted Jason chasing a limping Deborah. As I got closer, I could hear him taunting her and gloating about an easy kill. Just as he was about to swing and finish her off, I cane up from behind and knocked him down with a wrench.

Immediately, he started cursing me out for being “cheap” and a coward for not doing it to his face. He got even madder when I promptly healed the Deborah right in front of him and ran off.

A few minutes later, I found him smashing down a door at another cabin, and nailed him again. This happened every time he turned his back, and around 7 minutes into the match, he made it his goal to kill me since he hadn’t killed anyone thanks to me running interference. Turns out he had a buddy in the game telling him where everybody was, and was unlocking doors and closing windows for him.

They both did the best they could to kill me but the longer I survived, the angrier they got until they were both accusing me of cheating because I was stunning him every time with the Wrench and hitting him before he could grab me. I led them on a merry chase around the camp for about 10 minutes while everybody else fixed the cars and escaped. They only realized that too late when a car drove right past the cabin we were in, and checking the menu showed that I and the teamer were the only ones left.

They ragequit with a parting stament of “go kill yourself rear end in a top hat” after I managed to stun Jason just as he walked through the door while I was limping. I promptly healed myself, did a thumbs up in front of him and then ran out through the door he had just gone through. The teamer left after that, Jason a second later.

Nah man. I'm not any kind of great player, I've lost most of my mojo.

I have to TRY to get killed by Jason now. I can show up dudes with Jason 4 and I haven't even unlocked him yet. This is a flaw in the game. I should not be shithousing Jason with a Deb with non-combat perks.

What on earth are you doing with a Deb versus Jason 4 that he doesn't just swing at you and murder you in 2 to 3 hits? He's much faster on the draw than her weenie hits.

Part 4 is mid-tier at best so that's not really saying much. He's good early game but after about 10 minutes he's one of the worst you can use. He's slow as poo poo in the water and shifting and only has 3 traps. It's much easier to get vehicles going because of the lack of traps and once you do it's extremely difficult to catch you.
