I often find myself as the sacrificial lamb when playing. I always seem to be the first to die, but I make Jason WORK FOR IT and it gives everyone else a bit of breathing room.

Finally got into the game,but my progress got reset,which is a shame because I just had my best Jason round yet.Somehow killed everybody in spite of me being the worst Jason ever. In other news, Jim Sterling and his legions of snobby fanboys have started attacking this game.

Is this guy one of the "troll reviewers" who intentionally just does everything wrong?

I did think once Jason bashed the car it was done for good. Sure him repeatedly beating on it was dodgy, but everything else he was up to and talking about was dumb as poo poo.

Yeah it's real frustrating. We had to find a weird janky fix to even BUY the game, then had to figure out weird, janky tricks to PLAY the game and even then their servers are there stonewalling us.

Just found out there isn't likely to be a fix for the Xbox until mid next week too. Crazy.

On the bright side it looks like there's been so much love for the game (and franchise) that we're bound to get boatloads of extra content. How could we not?

Shameful admission: I saw bits of the first movie and nothing else as horror movies gave me nightmares as a kid. Kinda tempted to binge watch the series after watching streams of this game and wondering if they all still hold up or if there's some clunkers to avoid?

I'd say watch part 6 first. It's the one where Jason is first "zombified" which is the most recognisable version from pop-culture AAAAAAND it's a LOT more light hearted than the other films... Well, as light hearted as a film about a murderer can be. I think EVERYONE loves part 6.

As for the other films most people will argue endlessly about their favourites, but the only 2 REAL STINKERS that most people truly hate are Part 8 and 9 (Jason goes to Hell) because with the former you're promised Jason in New York and he spends 90% of the film on a boat and in 9 Jason isn't even in it after the first 10 minutes.

The rest of them are more serious horror/slasher affair (Bar Jason X and Freddy vs Jason, but I'll get to those) 1-4 are one continuous "night" with 4 being the real highlight, if only because of Crispin Glover's dancing. Part 5 is the black sheep of the family because it tries to reboot the series (kinda) but becaue of fan backlash they said, "gently caress IT" and brought back Jason as a zombie in 6. 7 is, in some people's eyes, the most definitive Jason film. Kane Hodder steps into his shoes and adds character to the silent killer and the makeup is spectacular (even if the kills were all neutered horribly by the rating board, which for me stops it from being my favourite film.)

I LOVE Jason X, but some people loath it. It's campy, like Part 6 but almost to parody. "POPULAR VILLAIN GOES TO SPAAAAACE" was a bit of a dumb trend at the time, but in all honesty, I think when it comes to the TENTH FILM of a zombie killer franchise, then why the hell not? There's a bunch of great, ott kills and Jason looks great. Uber-Jason is played up way too much. Todd Farmer, the writer, said it was just meant to be a daft joke at the end and paying it up in the posters was like showing a knob on the poster for the crying game.

Freddy vs Jason is also a great film which is just a lot of fun and low on the horror elements.

The remake is good too, but real dry. Not much humour there.

Jason Goes to Hell has some of the coolest deaths in the whole series.

Know what would have made it fine in my eyes? If it were Kane Hodder in full Jason gear throughout the whole film. Like that bit where the possessed doctor looks in a mirror and the reflection is Jason? That, but reversed. Everyone else is casual about this lumbering horror walking around because only WE are in on the secret.

But seeing random dudes acting like Jason just didn't work for me at all.

I've played enough now that I can confidently say I strongly disagree with the idea that the car components and the fuse spawn near their respective usage points. I can't imagine it varying between console and PC THAT much, either that or I've just had REAL bad luck with whatever RNG us used to spawn them.

You have to concede that sometimes you're just there to distract Jason long enough to let someone else get a little closer to escaping... Before he kills them too.

OK guys can I get a few tips? Where can I find the parts for the car and the boat? And are there any other ways to escape besides those and the police? I want to be a good player :)

PC players will swear blind the parts will all spawn in the cabins closest to the vehicle your trying to escape in. I've found it to be completely random on the Xbox.

But starting close to the vehicles is advisable... But be warned any good Jason will try and scout those areas first.

The escapes are:
Police
Boat
Car
Waiting the night out
and killing Jason

But good luck with that last one.

Had one Jason who apparently was waiting inside one of the larger cabins with stalk on. He waited for everyone in my 3 man group to crawl inside and lock the door before rage bursting through the thin wall like a murderous Kool-Aid Man and grabbing the unlucky person who was heading past it to open a drawer. That was easily the most pants-making GBS threads moment that I have experienced in this game and the 3 of us commended him on that afterwards.

That's fantastic.

Someone else might have to take over the Xbox PS4 lists. I'm doing 12 hour shifts and weekend overtime for the foreseeable future, so can't monitor this thread as much.

Also try-hard Jasons suck balls so bad. Doing the quickest kills over and over, exploiting the attack stance to open doors quicker. Boring, boring, boring.

And I've found propellers in drawers loads of times. But the Xbox version was essentially the beta until that patch so IDK.

Propellers in drawers may have been pre-patch then. Played 2 games and found it twice on boxes and whatnot and now it's a "large" item whereas before it was a "pocket" item.
