Cuntellectual posted:What would single player in this even look like? I'm guessing either themed Jason vs. AI counselor sessions or you play as a counselor and get some kind of broad control over the others, basic directions like "Jenny, try to get the car started!" and survive against AI Jason. Either way, I hope we get a boat or Manhattan map for Jason VIII. The Predator 2 map that came with AVP Gold way back in the day was pretty sweet.

Does Tommy Jarvis come with all stats maxed as well as the shotgun, or is he just an armed respawn for the next/last person who died?

I imagine being the only person with a weapon in a cabin full of people and spotting Jason approaching first is like trolling Christmas.

That all sounds pretty great really, best way to do it without getting Jason squatters all day but giving everyone who wants in a fair shot.

Tinfoil Papercut posted:The voice comm is cleverly done in game. Once you find a walkie, you can communicate with other players with walkies. Before that, you are limited to proximity voice chat. Jason can hear either when he is close. Right, I think they meant using external mic software like discord or mumble to skip the cool atmospherics and just be in constant perfect coordination all the time like an FPS team. Which I'm sure dicksmashing tryhards will do instead of enjoying the ambiance of an interactive horror movie.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:The only downside is I once morphed into a gang of 6 at the Packanack Lodge car, grabbed one, got hit and dropped them, then shift-grabbed and killed one. It's pretty great that they worked the attributes of the Jasons that way, the ones before he died work more like human killers with their running and emphasis on direct attacks and traps, while the zombie Jasons rely more on terrorizing and literal movie magic to build a slow but relentless assault.

First couple of hours with the game was a blast, in my second game I spun around in a big cabin looking for car keys and medicine for nearly five minutes without noticing the police phone in the living room while Duster was frantically Steam messaging me about it, haha. Survived a lot of rounds as AJ and Tiffany just by keeping my flashlight on and sticking to lit paths and cabins on the opposite end of the map from everyone else. Even got to be Tommy a few times, to moderate and virtually no effect. Haven't had a round as Jason yet but playing counselor's been a blast, I can't believe people quit out of games if they don't get to be the axe murderer. If only the game didn't have an apparent 20% chance of crashing whenever clicking on any option or interactive element, I've had more stable games of Jenga.

Tinfoil Papercut posted:The gameplay will stay, the instability will go away. Remember the game has only been out for a week. Yeah don't get me wrong, I'm not angry nearly as much as disappointed; This game's shitloads of fun and if it weren't for the eight crashes in three hours and half my sessions being interrupted before I earned the XP from them I would've played even longer and had more of a blast. I really hope they can lock down the stability soon, easily one of the best asymmetric versus setups ever.

This game has the best environmental kills since the 2005 Punisher. Which reminds me, the large cabins with a kitchen or a garage could really use some sweet mechanical kill spots.

Basebf555 posted:You should strive never to escape as Jarvis. Jarvis should always be killed by Jason. You shouldn't really even die heroically, the Tommy from the movies would never be able to pull that off. Immediately run to Jason, deliver a one-liner, shoot him, get killed. That's it, job done. Haha yeah, me too, "role" play... My favorite Tommy round was in a pub game, somehow after about ten minutes the last two people managed to find the radio and I got respawned in, right next to the police exit. I radioed "Hey do you guys know my cousin Chad?" and ran right back out, total turnaround was about 15 seconds.

I seem to have gotten worse once I got some experience with the game, when I first started out and didn't really know what was going on I guess I was just going with the flow instead of overthinking things or something. I even seemed to be doing better as Jason at first, what the hell

weekly font posted:lol I'm gone for a week and this game is buggier than ever The game is much more stable than it was at launch but when it does crash, for me it always does so just near the end of a round and it's mega loving frustrating. Judging from the errors I'm getting I'm pretty sure the lovely third-party anticheat software is the culprit too. If you can't do better than VAC just gently caress off.

Yeah it's nice to have one you can do in a broom closet like one of the head crushes. I think Part 9's axe throw requires the most real estate, he kicks you way the gently caress away before tossing it.

Burkion posted:The other dude, who was Tommy for this attempt, then machetes me to death when I get free and walk outside. I was the Tommy and I killed you because I thought you sabotaged our kill attempt in the chaos, and because that was literally the fourth time I was in a Jason kill attempt that glitched out (and it turns out this one did too, JFC) and I got real buttmad about it, sorry man. Crashing/BSODing every 15 minutes doesn't help either

It's not like you need them to overcome bad game design or something, if your Jason sucks at busting down doors then tough poo poo, you could pick one with Destruction or just deal with it.

ToxicSlurpee posted:Somebody probably looked at a body part or piece of scenery and said "hey have we used this yet? No? Alright, time for a leg pull and a chair kill. Gotta cover all the bases."

Daeno posted:Possibly "The Hidden"? I remember The Hidden, it was pretty neat. Going waaaay back AVP 2000 had some pretty good asymmetric PVP modes, including one that started with several Marines vs. one Alien and whenever the Alien player killed a Marine, they respawned as an Alien. Being the last Marine on the map was pretty nerve-wracking.

Basebf555 posted:The fun comes from ruining the fun of others. It's a certain type of person, but a type that seems to be very well represented in the gaming community. A few days ago I had a guy in a quick match who intentionally crashed the four-seater in a place that made him glitch into the roof of the car when he got out, which made him unreachable without throwing knives (and I happened to be out just then) as the car's hitbox absorbed even combat stance-aimed strikes. And of course he immediately started taunting over voice like he'd made a great accomplishment instead of wasting everyone's loving time.
