Yeah, "World of Warcraft," "Fallout," "Batman," "Elder Scrolls Online," "Starcraft."

I mean if you're only getting in on 10/20 top selling PC games of all time, what's the point?

I am sorry I offended your choice of bad games.

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.

Rhoemer was killable, it is just that he made an unholy alliance in opposition to the Air Taser (PBUH), that made his spirit haunt you. Watch the LP for good screaming war crimes.

I just want a mod of Jason's mom's head to look like Hillary Clinton screaming at you.

Three maps does look like a selling point.

The game is survival with an unkillable force. At its worst, it's you versus Jason versus people who are faster than you. You can kill people who screwed you over.

weapons get most people killed in my experience because they usually miscalculate Jason's grab

i preferred stocking up on pocket knives and trolling Jason until he just hacks you to death in frustration

His grab took priority over anything you did. Using weapons also made you lunge like an idiot who never swung a bat before.
Weapons are mostly death traps. Better to amass bear traps and lay them in one house for later.

Jason collapses into a pile and the game ends right there. Points get tallied. Don't think of it as survivors versus Jason. You are alone and those other people snagged all the pocket knives and smacked you while running from Jason.

Tinfoil Papercut posted:

Also keep in mind they claim there's a system in place to designate a preference and to prevent you from not getting that preference too many times in a row.

Do you mean on picking Jason or am I not allowed to prefer one counselor?

Such is life in The Zone. You don't need to be violent with other people, but that is an aspect of survival. Killing people also lets you loot their bodies of those items. The game also lasts for 20 minutes at most and the tension might hit harder than Jason, so impatient people will hate the game.

Will there be enough interest in the game to start a goon group? I'm holding off on the game.

You can't pick up his weapon or his mask either.

Dr. VooDoo posted:

The issue with weapons in Beta was that the stats were never really defined so people had no idea what they did. If you didn't have high luck all grabbing a weapon does pretty much is calm your character down, so they're less scared and won't make as much noise for Jason to home in on. Characters with high luck and weapons can actually stun Jason and they should really be the only ones making a swing at him

The only expectation was that the bat had the best chance to stun.

That looks bad. If Friday the 13th heads for that direction, they should have a perkless setting defaulted to on.

I hope they have achievements for each counselor, so people would bother to try them out.

Why not work the whole day in case the game itself somehow doesn't?

They did mention that Jason gets another skill that turns off his music if you stand still. He now uses throwing knives and traps.

Jason really should be silent imo.

That goes well with him being deadly.

Only if the dumpster is in a fixed location on the map and the punched head always sails clean into it, regardless of where you were on the map at the time.

I want to see clips of some poor counselor's head flying through windows, around trees, opening doors for itself, and bouncing off the dumpster's open lid before landing inside. With NBA Jam sound effects dubbed in.

Jason should be able to murder someone so hard they bust through parts of buildings.

I anticipate there will be some matchmaking hitches at launch, as is fairly common in beta and other games at launch. It's hard to test your servers given that there's no way to replicate the potential load on them except with a beta or other open testing phase.

This is why it's vital to have a good pool of people you can tap for private matches!

What matchmaking would there be?

It is going to be very boring if everyone uses mics to work against Jason. Takes the mystery/horror element out of the game.

Any time spent attacking Jason is time not spent calling the cops or driving home. Jason can almost telefrag if the conditions are right, before you can even hit him.

Any streamer with tons of animated poo poo on the screen is intolerable. This guy is inoffensive and the subscription popup nicely clashes with Jason murdering people and during the downtime.

I think it's just for the initial repair, kinda like how Jason can break the car but you don't need to gas/battery it every time. There's also a boat escape now that I can't wait to gently caress up.

e: hahah I'm pretty sure I just watched a streamer break car escape. he drove in reverse the entire way out because Jason can't smash it from the back

Jason can smash the gently caress out of a car going reverse.
