As much as I want to main Jason and only Jason I'll still be getting this day one.

In work so can't get on Twitter, but Jay Bauman from RLM made a spot on tweet about it being crazy that this fan game is treating the franchise with more love and respect than Hollywood.

Nearly everyone would want to just be Jason. The random selection is the smart decision and I'm glad it's in the game.

Yeah i totally get it too. Though I did envision different lobbies. Join lobby one to be assigned as a Jason to anyone who joins the counselor lobby two kinda thing.

I'm wondering what leveling up Jason is going to be like if you only play him every eight game or so too. I didn't play the Beta but wasn't it you start as Jason from 3 until you level up then you can play as 4 then 7? Is that the same with the full release, does anyone know?

Here's hoping for a "Roy" update.

When calling the cops they also send out a paramedic hearse. Next person to die respawns as Roy from V and can try and rack up some kills of his own before the real Jason guts him.

Pre-Zombification it just took an ABSURD amount of punishment to bring the big guy down. Like, spanning 3 films worth of punishment to make it permanent. Then after that the only consistent way has to been to incapacitate him. Either via chaining him in the lake or freezing the dude.

So I can only imagine it'd be something to do with hijacking him in the water. But then the gameplay balance doesn't really work out, because as Jason you'd know when someone was trying to trap you out there. I don't know. But it's fun to speculate.

My theory is that it actually cannot be done, and it's just something the devs threw out there to get people to do stupid horror-movie heroics and get killed.

Or this... Which in itself is brilliant.

I know the various Jason's get unique kills, but does Part 6 Jason have a kill where he snaps someone in half?

Likewise punching someone's head clean off and into a dumpster should be unique to Part 8 Jason.

Jason X is wonderful comedy shlock. Part 6 is pitch perfect with it though. The franchise is too stupid as a concept to begin with to be outright horror so there should always be an element of humour to them. People may argue that X went too far, but I think it stops just before crossing the line into outright (lovely) parody.

I used to chat with Todd Farmer on the old Friday the 13th message boards too. Nice bloke.

What determines what CP you get?

You get CP every time you level up, as opposed to the points you earn during a match. But ipso-facto the more points the quicker you level and yadda-yadda-yadda.

We were also messing around and experimenting with killing Jason while the servers were messing up and nothing was being logged. Doing that legit in a match is going to take some doing though. Even with four of us all in party chat it was a chore.

Unless you can you use the sweater more than once?

So people spamming attacks on Jason as Jarvis goes in for the kill ruins it, huh? That's good, means it has to be highly co-ordinated. No way pubbies could pull that off.

I have one complaint about the game. One HUGE complaint... And it isn't the fact they spelt Voorhees wrong in the "cooking with jason" achievement card.

When you kill Jason...Tommy really should have put the mask on and went a bit mad again in homage to part 4/5 and just hacked Jason to bits. preferably with jason slowly sliding down the machete stuck in the side of his head too.

Don't judge, but I was browsing 4chan and came across this great Chad story.

Dude over there was up against a team who called the cops in almost immediately. He finds all 7 players crowded around one of the exits and every one of them is a Chad. The Jason think it'll be easy pickings... Until all the Chad's attack and spend the rest of the match bullying Jason. Knocking him down, stunning him when he gets up.

Just stay down, you poor nerd. :chad:

Longest matches so far were one where I hid in a tent for 7 mins and survived, Jason not knowing where the gently caress I was ( a campground far away from houses) and another match where as Jason it took me forever to find the cabin where someone was in a closet.

I'd ordered some food in and it arrived way earlier than I thought, so I dove into the first tent I saw (as Chad) at the start of the round and ate my grub during the match. Right at the end Jason finds me and pulls me out in my sleeping bag and just as he goes to swing me... <YOU SURVIVED>

That guy must have been FUMING. And if it was any of you, I apologise... But Chad doesn't.

Still kinda annoyed about the console versions being buggy as hell. Dropping games, etc but still having a lot of fun and always roleplaying Jason as close as I can to his iteration. Part 8 only does the head punch off kill, for instance. Never dodge shotguns either. You TANK it. Jason doesn't serpentine!

There was a beautiful half day on Sunday where the quickmatch feature was working and every lobby I entered I ended up as Jason.

Then I unlocked part 8, the quickmatches stopped again and every lobby I joined the host would elect themselves Jason.

Got a few rounds in at part 8 though. Wasn't expecting to like him, but he's pretty good and deserved a better movie.

I ONLY just figured this out, so maybe others missed it as well, but you can "sprint" with the slow Jasons the way you can with parts 2 and 3.

Ok, sprint is a strong word... But the power walk and since finding that out I've had no problems chasing people down. I've stopped shift/grabbing entirely because it's entirely valid to wear them down AND keep pace once they're tired/scared enough.

Savini Jason looks cool but it's not like he has extra, special powers. I think there's other Jasons who do what he can do slightly better.

I heard this with the Payday 2 DLC as well. The whole "PAY TO WIN" moaning thing where it clearly isn't. I think people get stuck in an echo chamber sometimes and just never listen. I was arguing the Payday 2 thing with my real life friend for near enough an hour when it finally came to light he didn't even know Payday 2 was a co-op game. He'd thought it was PvP and was pissed that you could "buy" a rocket launcher.

You know what? I'd be happy enough if she was just as immortal and effectively another Jason. Same with Roy from part 5. It might not "make sense" but whatever.
