My go-to Jason voice will probably be my godawful Bane impression (sounds more like mumbling Sean Connery and less like Tom Hardy). Failing that,I'll see if I can figure out how to play John Cena's theme in an endless loop.

I've thought it over, and I've decided that I'm not going with the John Cena music. Instead, I've found the perfect Jason gimmick. Now if only I can figure out how to 1.play the audio on a mic and 2. play it on an infinite loop.

Edit:Since some people might be confused,that is the theme song of a nigh-unkillable monster that stalks the protagonist of Lunethex's Syphon Filter LP. Coolguye knows who I'm talking about.

Just so you guys know I'm suffering from either an upper respiratory infection or allergic reactions to all the loving PLANTS (don't know yet) so if you encounter a Jason that sounds like a wheezy Bane,you'll know why.

I also get why they do it and think it's kind of crappy, but mostly because I'm 98% sure there's some marketing guy out there getting himself off to his genius use of "influencers."

Also, for pulling this marketing stunt, the game really doesn't really look fantastic, just alright, which is a shame. The counselors don't really seem to have much agency in gameplay, which results in a match either looking like "uneventful looting spree + escape" or "get found, chased, and inevitably killed." I guess I'm wishing there were a little bit more to it.

Additionally, the environmental kills appear to be too few and far between to pull off with any reliability, which means 90% of the time you get Jason's default "kill the person I'm holding" animations, of which they only decided to give each Jason one for some reason. For being the game sold on gruesome deaths I thought they'd put in a little more effort there!

That sucks to hear. Time to refund my pre-order. :sigh:

I think it is great that Jason is hard to kill, but as his deaths are some of the most fun in the series, I hope that more options open up to kill him over time.

Like for me, a draw of the series was always a more-or-less equal pull between how creative the kills can be for Jason's victims and how the hell they're going to stop him this time.

There has to be limits to it otherwise he's not stupidly overpowered (which he should be), of course.

I'm hoping one of them involves the boat.

So in a bid to kill time and not watch idiots on twitch (as always I'm sure there are good ones, but man it's searching through the trash), anyone firing up the movies, reading Crystal Lake Memories or watching the doc. It's funny I don't even think of myself as the biggest fan of the series but I so how wound up with physical and later on the updated and expanded ebook of CLM.

Funny that you mention that, I just grabbed a copy of Crystal Lake Memories at the local Indigo. (We don't have Barnes and Noble over here. :canada:

Also, chasing the car driving backward for half the map was great.

Yeah,this game is a blast to play. Now if only I can stop sucking at Jason. Only thing I can say in my defense is that I'm unfamiliar with the new maps. And playing Jason in general.

To whoever suggested breaking all the windows but one, and then setting a trap there, you are a genius. I've caught so many people that way.

My last victim was some screechy kid who was the last remaining player. He spent the entire session hiding out while I hunted down the other players. I finally tracked him down to the cabin he was in and set up a trap outside the sole unbroken window, while he was taunting me. I casually broke through the door, and he stunned me and ran for the window.

As he was going through: "Wow you suck at this"

2 seconds later: "MOTHERFUCKER! gently caress YOU, gently caress YOU!"

Just as my stun wore off, he ended up going back into the cabin due to hammering X to break free and ended up in my arms. I promptly threw him back out.

As we went back to the lobby, he was raging and cursing. He also accused me of hacking and said he would report me and I'd be banned forever. Then he promptly rage quit after that parting statement.

Money well spent on this game.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that there was less than 2 minutes left on the clock so that must have especially stung.

Yep. Owning pubbies never gets old. I remember a recent Jason round where the first thing I did was teleport to the car to boobytrap it. I appeared right next to a counselor. She said "You know what? Just kill me. This is the shittiest spawn EVER." So I did. Then I hunted the rest down one by one. One of them tried to make a break with the fuel,leading me on a merry chase,taunting me all the while. He eventually got caught on a piece of scenery....right next to the fireplace. His cry of "OH COME O-" as I roasted his nuts filled me with great joy.

I think I just had the best Counselor moment of my life: I was the goth chick, we'd just fixed the car and Jason kept hounding the three of us. We eventually managed to get the car going ,but Jason stopped us several times. Somehow he wasn't able to kill any of us, with each attempt by him resulting in us playing ring around the rosie with his lumbering rear end. Right before the exit,he was able the grab our driver (Chad). I quickly hopped in and drove off with the other person while Chad was screaming "gently caress YOU YOU MOTHERFUCKER!"
Basically, I was able to out-Chad Chad, my proudest moment so far. Besides finally getting the Birdbath kill.

So a number of folks have asked for a full run of my singing Jason gimmick, I went ahead and did it yesterday and got lucky enough to have some Twitch streamstar on there as well reacting to it. It wasn't as good as people mistaking it for gospel music but it was still pretty amusing.

My view is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B04AXaHkNhA here. Apologies for my many years old mic giving a static crackle in the background, there's not much I can do about that.

The streamer I happened to random into has her archive video here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/148420657. The match starts at 56:00. I wasn't able to hear most of her reactions to my 'chanting', as she puts it, and her chat also has a pretty what the gently caress reaction to it, so it's a decent watch.

Now all we need is one of your wrestling commentator matches. Unless you've already posted that, in which case I am a dumb. Edit:Also the Twitch link goes nowhere.

Jesus Christ the people I've played with.

I watched two counselors have a fight to the death. Not sure why but we all watched. It was kinda great. Then we tried to kill Jason but everyone was talking over each other and the poor guy playing Tommy swung the machete instead of hitting the prompt. We were shortly massacred.

Next game the obnoxious poo poo I'd muted was Jason. I spawn outside the cabin with the phone. I find the fuse inside. Fix the phone and watch as four counselors escape with the car. I call the cops and figure I'll wait him out, gently caress him and his constant begging to be Jason and million dumb questions about the movies.

I hide in a closet watching the map. The other two counselors are waiting at one of the exits. A tricky gamble but it pays off and they escape. I pop out and start my run down the road to the cops, flare gun in hand. Jason is standing there waiting. I pop him with the flare and run past. Clean sweep. All I hear in post game chat is laughing and people clowing on the dude who is apparently screaming about how they lied to him about setting him up for a Jason death scene. He gets kicked from the game.

This game is kinda terrible when played with pubbies

I just picked this up for PC, and I gotta admit, as much as I'm loving it so far, I was a little shocked at so much blatant gay bashing and racism. Maybe it's just because Destiny was the only multi I've played in the past few years, but it was really off-putting. People just shouting human being and friend of the family constantly, pepes everywhere. I've done some competitive mm in CSGO recently and it didn't seem anywhere near as toxic.

I guess I should be playing with goons. I think out of like ten matches, maybe two had people that weren't just completely awful people.

To be fair, it makes killing them as Jason all the more satisfying.

The idea would be to effectively pick people off because she's not as tough as Jason. Jason is completely impossible to kill outside of performing a specific sequence of actions with specific characters and items, so he can juggernaut his way around the map and smash every door and window to pieces while you hope he chases anyone other than you.

Pamela Voorhees was defeated in the first movie by a terrified girl barely old enough to drink because she went on the offensive once, and she temporarily escaped several times by simply hitting Pamela in the face and running. She got all of her kills by carefully ambushing the others, luring them away and using tricks like blinding them with lights to walk right up to them.

With that in mind I imagine she'd have a bunch of extra environmental interactions to distract/disorient counselors while she goes for the kill/repositions.
