DeathChicken posted:I have no clue. Might just be a depth perception problem on my end or something, but they seem to be out of reach by the time Jason finishes his lunge. It's frustrating. The success/failure of a grab is determined when the grab begins. Think of the grab as being an approximate cone in front of Jason; when you hit the grab button, if there's a counselor within that cone, you get the "successful grab" animation and the counselor is grabbed. If there isn't a counselor within that cone (even if one runs into it a fraction of a second later), you get the "failed grab" animation and no counselor is grabbed, even if it looks like they're running directly into your hands. This is made more awkward because grabbing a counselor from directly behind is often the hardest grab to do because of the way positions/latency are communicated - general advice for grabbing running counselors is to try and grab directly in front of where they appear to be moving. If you're shifting from directly behind a counselor, however, the disparity between where you and the counselor are and where the server thinks the two of you are can mean that even though on your screen you're literally rubbing up against the sprinting counselor from behind, the moment you go for the grab you miss because the counselor is too far in front of you to be grabbed. This same thing happening in reverse is why also as a counselor sometimes it will appear as if Jason grabbed you from absurdly far away, usually as you just juked and significantly changed your direction. Anyways, general advice when shift grabbing is don't try and come up directly behind counselors who are moving - put a little bit of a curve into your shift so you end up coming up alongside them at an angle and grab at the area immediately in front of them - I mean like six inches in front of their nose. It should help you land those shift grabs more reliably. Don't lead your grabs too much, though, because they need to be in the "cone" at the moment you start your grab.

After reading that... good? I mean, I know it has no bearing on this game (which I played for the first time since the PS4 update the other day, What a difference dedicated servers make) but the guy made less than 10k for jump starting the most recognizable property in horror.

https://twitter.com/Friday13thGame/status/1047923737843179524 So as I suspected, them openly saying there's not going to be any future DLC was mostly to manage people's expectations and not make promises they can't keep. The future has now gone from hopeless to wildly uncertain. Of course, every single comment on the article is still blaming Gun Media for the entire thing and claiming there's a conspiracy to deprive players of new content.

Some of the ideas from this will definitely turn up in later spins on asymmetric multiplayer. There's a bit of Last Year: The Nightmare that feels like a direct reaction, for example.

the thing is, i don't think you can clone this game, because 99% of why it works is the license and the slavish care and devotion to it. if you take Jason out of this, you get Dead by Daylight, which is complete and utter rear end.

i think it works fine regardless of jason because there's actual mechanics in F13 whereas DbD is literally less complicated than the game of tag we all played in elementary school. that said, players tend to have a pretty long memory of mechanics and 'feel' so if you did an asset swap it'd crash and burn even if you fixed every bug ever and everything worked super well...because it is an asset swap.

With Dead By Daylight, the game itself is not that difficult. There's some x factors with how different killers work and the timing on the skill checks, but mostly every round is going to work out the same. You start somewhere, find a generator, fix it, move on. You hide if a killer is approaching, and you run if they see you and give chase. Maybe you can get away, but more likely they will catch up and you will die. You can't play distraction for the killer because, unless they just hyper focus on you on the hook, they'll go out and find more people to attack while at least one other member of your team will leave what they're doing to save your rear end. And if they start chasing you, that's about it unless you get lucky or they're bad at keeping track of you. It is extremely simple and repetitive without any major chaos factors that come up. It's mostly a game of knowing when and how to hide and when to move and do poo poo. Friday the 13th is a very different beast with very different rules. It's also, for me, more immediately satisfying and enjoyable.

The other good thing this game has going for it is that the killer is actually a lethal machine of death compared to the wet napkin that other game's killers are.

So I decided to give quick match a go now that dedicated servers are on console and none of my Friday folks were on. Sweet baby Jesus. First round has a squeaker Jason who was at least making jokes and being funny. Everyone on the team was fairly inept and I'm pretty sure one car got away and I was killed last because I was trying to rack up some XP by fixing stuff. Second round is another squeaker Jason who is talking mad poo poo from jump as Jason 7. He tries to spawn kill me (spawned in as Tiffany) and I call Tommy as he's breaking the door down. This is the opening minutes of the match. I escape and call him an attempted spawn killing bitch and run off. Somehow I fix the 4 seater by myself and 4 people get away. I also fixed the 2 seater on my own. Jason kills whoever was left and it's just the two of us. I figure I'll try to mine some more XP because gently caress it and start fixing a generator. Fuckboy shows up and starts trying to talk poo poo about how he's going to get me. I duck, dodge and run in and out of 3 cabins as he's chasing me for the final 2 minutes. I spent the last minute literally standing by an open window dancing until time ran out. I think he was still smashing his way through the previous cabin. Pubbies man.

This is definitely the experience I've had trying out Dead by Daylight today, the Killer is downright pathetic in comparison to Jason, like I'm lucky to get one kill in the former, while as Jason I'm usually able to get at least two or three people minimum before a round ends

To be fair, if I spawn as Jason and someone is right nearby my first Morph jump (and that person isn't Vanessa) I am totally going after them, if only to disrupt whatever house hunting they would otherwise do But then again I'm a terrible Jason, so

I know I'm an idiot who loves smashing my face into a hot stove, but I read some of the Facebook comments when Illfonic made another announcement about the lawsuit thing. People were raging at them for not fixing the lawsuit faster.  "Just change the terms of what they want!" That kind of poo poo.

Honestly the dedicated servers have been a godsend- practically no dropped games since they were added, the few exceptions being Jasons rage-quitting. I can actually play at all hours of the day too, which was never a guarantee before.  If anyone's interested in a private goon game, let me know.

I agree with most of your post but earlier today, played about 5 straight then got dropped from the server and couldn’t find a game to rejoin for almost 15 minutes. Not complaining really, just odd.

That's basically what they pitched before they got the license. I think it was called Summer Camp vol1 or something like that. Like it was basically "This isn't Friday the 13th *wink wink*" And if they went back to that idea,I would play the hell out of it. Add some customization ability to the look of the killer and I'll pony up $40 again.
