As long as you aren't in a terrified state the escape bar moves really, really fast with someone like Jenny or Tommy.

Burkion posted:I consider that a personal victory. Always sacrifice your Tommys for time. I mean, that's just Good Tommying. Played a pubbie round with a friend last night. I'm Kenny, which I've discovered is actually pretty viable depending on load-out, and this Jason is....well he's something. Dude is loud and obnoxious as gently caress over mic, but he's the shittiest Jason I've ever seen. He spent literally the first 10 minutes of the match tunnel-visioning my buddy, who was playing Chubs, and just leading him around Packanack Lodge on an endless chase. Absolutely nothing pulled this guy away from Chubs. gently caress up the phone repair four times? No worries. Make the call? Whatever, Jason has Chubs to catch. The moral here is that Chubs is OP.

I was there for that one as well. He just stood still for a few seconds, looking directly at the shack, and the teleported 20 feet to the other side of it. Clearly some high level Burk strat we don't understand.

Discord for general chatter, and in-game walkie for pertinent information for coordinating the best way to stave off dying as long as possible when you were Jason.

Pub game about an hour ago. The Jason is a little below average but whatever. It's Packanack and of course the 4-seater and phone have both spawned at the lodge, so Jason has spent basically the whole game just camping around it. We're down to four counselors. Two of them are up by the boat, and me and a Bugsy are at Packanack juking and trying to get the phone going. So over walkie I hear "Hey if anyone has gas bring it up to the boat and we can all get away". Well, I know from looking at the map that there are 2 guys up there, and they're just sitting by the boat. It's pretty clear they're hoping me or Bugsy don't realize the boat won't seat more than 2. But hey, guess who just found the gas? Me. As Chad. So I say into the walkie "No, no you guys go ahead and take the boat, it's fine", and I know I'm within earshot of Jason. I hear back "Dude I just said we need the gas fir...OH poo poo". Jason had teleported over and starts chasing them down. I saunter over to the boat while he's chasing them through cabins, casually put the gas in the boat, start her up, and ride off into the sunrise. Right before I'm at the exit I walkie "Hey! I found the gas! And also a boat!" The curses ring in my headset. Chad rides again.

Drunken Baker posted:That story is amazing. They're distinctly different games with distinctly different rulesets and playstyles. The only reason people compare them is because of the slasher connection (DbD has a Michael Myers dlc, bringing that point further home). In my opinion, F13 is closer to the "survival horror" genre than DbD, which is much more about objective-based team play. Not to say that F13 doesn't involve objectives, but playing DbD effectively all but requires cooperation between the 4 survivors, with secondary escape options only really being a last minute panic choice when too many have gone down. F13, by contrast, allows for groups of counselors to work together, or go it alone, and depending on the situation, both are absolutely viable. There's also much more opportunity for shenanigans in my experience. DbD is fine. I'm not one who rags on it very hard. But I do think the gameplay *concepts* behind F13 are stronger, even if the execution lacks polish right now. Of course, that same lack of polish allows for some truly hilarious poo poo to go down so it evens out to me. EDIT: Also, as far as "ripoff" goes...F13 was in development before DbD, but released after, for what its worth. ComposerGuy fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Jun 29, 2017 |

One other thing is that F13 is getting a single-player component at some point this summer which will make you Jason against A.I. counselors. I foresee this being a valuable tool to help people who are maybe timid about playing Jason (there's a LOT of pressure on Jason to be "good", and it can be really frustrating if you aren't) learn how to play as him in a "safe" setting. A.I. won't emulate real players, obviously, but anything that helps you get better at understanding how to play Jason is a net positive IMO.

Scalding Coffee posted:I once set a trap that spawned a couple feet behind me and snagged a counselor. They don't seem worth it at all unless you group them for a last stand. Traps are for long-term planning. You set them early in case you need to double-back and use a cabin for quick getaway. Setting them as Jason is chasing you is largely useless because any Jason worth anything will hear the trap being set if he's right near you, and simply avoid it. Traps set earlier in the match have a higher chance to catch Jason unawares. If I find a trap in a cabin early game, I almost always set it unless I'm in a big hurry to get something done. It may not help *me* specifically, but it might save another counselor later on.

Another Goon Game Tale from last night: We played a variation where Tinfoil was Jason. We all meet up at the lodge at Higgens and Tinfoil gave us a simple rule for the game: The first counselor to call the cops would be allowed to escape. Everyone else dies. So Tinfoil goes to hang out by the phone so he can make sure to witness who calls. Everyone scatters to try and find the fuse. I'm the only one that runs to the western side at first, and lo and behold, I find the fuse within 2 minutes of us scattering. It also happens that the phone box is over there as well, so I head over to start repairing. But then Lastdancer shows up on my radar, and since I'm Tiffany, my repair work is going pretty slow. So I stop before Lastdancer can see I'm repairing the phone because I know where this is going: We're all going to murder each other to make sure we're the one to make the phone call. So I resume "searching" for the fuse like everyone else and eventually end up on the eastern side of the map while, as I expected, everyone starts killing each other to make sure they don't make the call first. Everyone keeps asking me what I'm doing over on that side of the map and I just say I'm "making sure no one missed the fuse". Tinfoil morphs over at one point to ask what I'm doing, and I tell him I'm looking for a bladed weapon because I know what's going on over there. It eventually becomes pretty obvious what I'm actually doing, and by the time I head back over with a machete in hand its down to me and one other counselor (I can't remember who it was off the top of my head). Well, they were already injured pretty badly so it was a simple matter to kill them, repair the phone, and call the cops.

Part 8 is my favorite. If he could run he'd be the best hands-down IMO. Has the Savini destruction plus (so locked doors only take 3 hits to go down, which is insane good), and that all on its own makes him great. Longer stalk is cool to me because I like stalk, and water speed is sort of meh but hey, he's fast as poo poo in water. Situational but can be useful. But his "weaknesses" are whatever. Shorter sense, can't run, lower grip strength. Psh. That's nothing. He basically doesn't have weaknesses.

So Icey Seifuku posted:Go all in and give us the NES Camp Crystal Lake. I would love this. The NES map actually has just about the right number of cabins (17 normal, 3 in the woods, 3 for the "kids" but you could easily get rid of those with nothing lost, put Jason's spawn point there and at the cave). You'd have to modify the lake, though, since the NES lake has no exit, if you wanted a boat escape. Give it a small tributary or something.

The one thing that brought my Jason play up to at least average was realizing that combat stance completely nullifies any stun attempt by a counselor. As long as you trigger it right before a hit connects, you won't get stunned, and their weapon still takes damage.

CapnAndy posted:Sure, if they gently caress up I can get 'em. The problem is that if they start it without fuckups, I don't know that it's been started and let them leave unchallenged, and I don't know how to be alerted other than compulsive map-checking. Be checking your map every so often if the boat has spawned. A quick tap of "m" and back is enough. Since the boat only seats two, and a decent Jason that catches that it's started means instant counselor death, it's the ultimate risk/reward option for counselor players. Plus, unlike cars, a stopped boat in the middle of the lake is 99 percent of the time an escape route that is effectively taken out of the game. It's supposed to be difficult for Jason to know the boat is in action for that very reason.

Basebf555 posted:I typically just ignore the boat, and if a counselor can fix it without tipping me off then more power to them. Sure, if I see it start to move I'll Morph over there but it's not in my normal rotation where I feel like I need to maintain a regular presence around it to deter the counselors. I've rarely had to pay for that strategy, counselors tend to focus much more on the cars. I go for the boat a lot as a counselor because it only takes 2 parts and you can pull off nutty 2-minute escapes if the cards fall just right. It's a HUGE gamble though, especially in pubbie games because the other counselors are very, very liable to just straight up tell Jason to check his map for the boat in order to get him off them, and most pubbie Jason's I've seen will go for it every single time no matter what else is happening. Like I've literally seen Jason go to the boat while four other counselors immediately got in the car and drove off. There's some kind of weird compulsion there.

Basebf555 posted:There's almost a body language to overconfident counselors who know they have a pocket knife so they think they can just hang around Jason safely. After a while you develop like a sixth sense for it, it's especially great when they have mics and you get to hear their shock and surprise as you swing away. Then as they're limping away and cursing you for being "cheap", that's when you grab them. This is why I act the same way whether I have a pocket knife or not. I always act as though I *don't* have one, because I'm one of those people that doesn't want to have to use it because then I won't have it anymore. That and I just enjoy juking and not really trying for a stand-up fight. I'm not a super-pro juke-man but it's definitely my best skill. And making Jason waste 5 minutes to finally kill me, and thus giving everyone else tons of time to do stuff, is always good. Unless I'm playing Chad. Then gently caress 'em.

So I like the Jarvis map a lot. Having 2 large, unique houses across from each other gives you a lot of possibilities, especially since they're 3 stories. The party house in particular, with the basement connected both inside and out, really gives you options for evading successfully. The map itself just feels very different than the other three base maps. Part of that is the newness, yeah, but I think the layout is particularly interesting what with the islands with lobe cabins and the water surrounding the whole place. Also the fact that the map can spawn with a boat and a 2-seater means way more opportunity to duck each other over! I'm hoping the holiday map is the halfway home in part 5...but I'd settle for the cruise boat from part 8. ComposerGuy fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Oct 13, 2017 |

Yesterday's chapter of "Make Pub Jason Ragequit" was a simple, elegant afair. I roll Chad, who is the only counselor I roll with Pubs. In the first three minutes, pre-shift, I've found 2 pocket knives, a med spray and a flare gun. Basically the perfect loadout, so I'm ready for some hard core harassment. Instead, Jason manages to kill everyone but me and one random Bugsy player. I come up on a the cabin that Bugsy is in, just in time to see him chased out by Jason. Jason doesn't see me (I'm behind a tree) and he chases Bugsy all the way to the other side of the map. I got curious at that point. Figuring that the cabin Jason just chased Bugsy out of would be the last place he would think to look for me, I go inside and crouch in a side room. Bugsy dies a minute later. I hit "start" on my stopwatch. 9 minutes and 17 seconds later, Jason ragequits because he can't find me. *Chad* He can't find *Chad*. I never even heard the Jason music during that time. He never cut the power, I never moved (other than to avoid being kicked for AFK) and I never had to use an item. ComposerGuy fucked around with this message at 16:41 on Nov 7, 2017 |

codenameFANGIO posted:Well I don’t think Jason has really been out and about until the week or so long rampage that happens in 2, 3, and 4, which starts at Camp Crystal Lake and basically ends with him wandering the Pine Barrens or whatever just kind of looking for people to stab. So I think it’s safe to say that the Jarvis residence is a good bit away from Crystal Lake. Also I am unclear on whether or not Jason was actually alive and running around before that or if he is a zombie ghost man who came back in response to his mother’s justifiable murder. Actually that's pretty fair if we just assume he didn't go "active" until Part 2, since I forgot Part 4 is within that same time frame. I also just realized that everything from Part 6 onwards is 100 percent Tommy's fault.

Shenanigans are the only real way to play the game correctly. Basically to enjoy this game, 2 things must be true: 1. You don't care about and in fact can embrace jank as being part of the fun (the Bethesda Mantra). and 2. You do not take competitive multiplayer seriously like some kind of weirdo. If that describes you, then this is the game for you!
