So here's a scenario I had in beta a lot:

Everyone loved playing Vanessa, shes fast as gently caress and had the biggest stamina pool. Unfortunately she's dumb as rocks and takes forever / has a hard time doing the QTE's. I loved playing Jason VII, and he cannot run. He can't even come close to Vanessa's speed. So there you are, in the end game, with Vanessa and Jason VII who cannot run. She's been running DbD style all game from Jason, but now she's all alone. Vanessa sucks at fear, so I can now see her a mile away, running in the woods. I morph to her area. She sees me and the chase begins. I use shift, and get to within a few feet of her - she books it again fast as she can, running to a cabin to put some distance between us. She makes it to the cabin, while I'm still a bit away from it. She tries to be clever and hop out a window on the opposite side, but my sense is already back and I can see her doing this. Now morph is back and I'm close again. She hides in a different cabin, but this one is already trashed, with a dead body inside which spooks her for a second. With no choice, she jumps through a broken window and is now injured, moving slower.

The chase repeats itself, me shifting and morphing close. It is inevitable now. She will run out of stamina. Perhaps it takes another shift where I land a machete hit on her, but now she is heavily injured and slow. Too slow. Slower than Jason VII.

She is filleted like a fish.

well guess I'm buying this game now

figured single player wouldnt be on launch but this looks like everything I wanted Evolve to be, including the option to have loving parties with your friends for both Jason and camp counselors, which Evolve inexplicably did not allow.

:psyduck: The more I hear about Evolve's launch, the more it baffles me. Its amazing how they had a great concept for a game and completely loving blew it.

Maybe it's me entering my 'old man yells at cloud' phase, but I just do not get streamers or twitch.

Watching someone who plays a game at a high level or is entertaining is interesting. Someone who is bad at the game and continually jabbers nonsensically over it is not, yet some of them do quite well. Its beyond me.

Did two quick games, escaped unscathed as the driver of the car in both. Game is pretty fun.

EDIT: Also, both victories were achieved by leaving someone else to die at some point so abandon morality if you want to git gud.

Yeah its pretty small and unassuming so a lot of people miss it.

Is there a way to tell where a phone is located without randomly wandering around looking for the fuse box?

Nope, though like somebody earlier said, the fuse frequently seems to spawn in the building that the box is attached to. So if you find a fuse, do a quick once-around the building to see if the box is there.

Either Jason's Morph ability needs to be delayed or counselors need to not be spawned next to cars/the phone. Multiple times now I've been insta-killed because I spawn near the car and Jason (reasonably) morphs there first to lock it down. Been the Jason a few times in that equation as well.

So there's a pubbie strat I don't quite get,

Step 1. Stun Jason.
Step 2. Linger near the stunned Jason.
Step 3. Get hosed.

but boy do I appreciate their sacrifice.

I watch a car of 3 pubbies crash into Jason and just fuckin' musical chairs around it, trying to get into the driver's seat and start it up. Each time, Jason plucked them out and murdered them. It was absolutely bizarre to watch.

It seems like they need to up XP or encourage people to use the environmental kill methods...if for my viewing pleasure, if nothing else.

The problem is that you can break free so quickly, even as one of the lower strength characters, that getting an environmental kill only happens if you are right next to the appropriate object.,

Save two pubbies as Jarvis

"I'm Jarvis. Y'all get in the car and go"

*driver immediately backs over me*

Randomly spawn as Jenny, completely alone in a corner of the map. Start digging through houses, get lucky with finding car keys and LIKE A RESPONSIBLE GODDAMN COUNSELOR I PUT THEM NEXT TO THE loving CAR. Hunt down and find all of the goddamn car parts, including managing to lose Jason once thanks to Jenny's amazing Composure. But Jason has trapped the car battery repair point and Jenny's Repair stat sucks so I know its about to get dodgy. Sure enough, I fix the battery but Jason teleports in moments later and the chase is on.

At this point, a pubbie playing Adam arrives. He accomplishes nothing other than running around and screaming, completely missing a flare gun shot while I'm vaulting between cabins trying to lose Jason cause that fucker is THIRSTY for me. I blow two first aids and a pocket knife getting away from him but I finally manage to shake him. I return to the car...and find that the keys are gone. Adam must have picked them up and is now up north of me, the same area as Jason's icon.

Still managed to survive that game but gently caress publords forever.

This changes if you're a monster who plays Vanessa. Then you should always sprint and make sure your rest breaks are near other players that'll suffer the consequences of your loud rear end.

Also make sure that you're constantly running through dark woods before you stop near other players.

Its down to me (as Jenny) and an AJ. The two-seater car has already left but AJ managed to call the cops while I distracted Jason. I then took Jason on an INTENSE POWER-WALKING SESSION through some woods, loving dropping his rear end with a pipe wrench when I needed to regen stamina. The pipe wrench owns, always take the pipe wrench.

AJ later had her face replaced with a spear and I casually strolled off to the cops after shooting Jason with a shotgun some irresponsible camper left lying in the middle of the street.

Worst environmental kill aside from ground-floor window is probably folding chair. Even in an F13 game I can't take it seriously.
