One of the better ones I keep an eye on is Ohm, mostly because his Friday videos usually end up with him teaming with H20 Delirious, and it's kind of fun to go over to his channel and track down the same session from a different perspective.

Ohm spends one game running around avoiding Jason and dealing with other players bullshit while trying to fix the phone, while Delirious, in that same session, is totally alone and just finding poo poo and fixing a boat. All the while the bullshit on the other side of the map is happening.

It also makes certain things that happen even funnier to see it from another angle

(Not going to lie, not a huge fan of Bryce's videos and I don't really check out the others. Not big on the streamer face cam mugging from the camera over playing the game stuff.)

anything with H20 Delirious and OhmWrecker is instant gold. I loved his Culling videos.

All the streams I saw, they were having a blast even though they had to play with other streamers who also split their attention between their ego and their chat log.

This kind of poo poo is honestly why I hate streamers. It only reinforces their e-ego that they actually matter.

In the eyes of video game companies, they are mattering more and more. It's a great way to get your game into the community and get people hyped for it. I think it's actually brilliant and I hope to see it expanded.

I don't understand why people get so butthurt about streamers being successful. I think it's really cool how there's this burgeoning industry of people playing video games professionally, and I hope it grows and continues.

He didn't miss the point at all because streamers should be given exclusive access to anything, especially not over backers. If they are, it inflates their ego.

Yeah, I hate the majority of streamers because they're so bad at games. It's why I can only watch pro streamers. They might not have the wacky personalities (bonus imo) but they're good at showing off a game which is important for me, because i'm watching to see if its worth buying.

As to why streamers got early access, they legally can provide early copies to media / marketing types. Streamers count in this category, so they gave them early access because why not, it makes sense from a business perspective. It *does* help them get the game name out, so I don't fault them for doing it. I still think streamers are just the personification of ePeen stroking.

I only watched a few streams last night but every match seemed to be on the same map from the beta. Is that an early access restriction thing? Or is there something limiting you to just the one map until you level up a bit?

It seemed too consistent for me to chalk up to just map RNG but maybe I just missed the streams that weren't all that map.

I mean from an intellectual viewpoint its easy to see why, practically free marketing, some jackass gets to feel important etc etc. Doesn't mean I have to like it. Just like you don't have to dislike it.

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!

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.

Most streamers I saw were very sub-par counselors. Example:

Pick Rocker chick (heavy stealth), within first minute of game find and team up with someone playing Vanessa. (a shining beacon for Jason's sense) Jason inevitable comes over, having seen Vanessa from 400 yards away on his sense. Guess which counselor can run faster? *Queue crying about Jason being too hard*

Someone figured out how to do it. It's on youtube and not very game viable. Shitload of XP though.

I'm really relieved the preorder Jason looks like rear end because by the time I got around to having the money for the preorder they stopped website preorders. Over a month before the game came out.

So a fair warning for everyone here.

I am my grandmother's caretaker- she is wheelchair bound other stuff. It won't be super frequent, but when she needs me to do something I will have to gently caress off to take care of that. Usually it's only once every now and again, and I'm only gone for about 2 to 3 minutes, at least at night. So I'll try to let people know if something comes up during a match and if you see me just standing around not doing anything, that's why. Feel free to do whatever to me if I am away.

I won't be on during the day much due to this, so night time is when I'll likely be playing the most.

Looking at it, it's not terribly game viable but I'm willing to wager every pubbie is going to be playing a female counselor to try to pull this off. Given Jason's deadliness, this can fall apart rather quickly. Plus, if Jason players are aware of this, they're going to make sure that Tommy dies a horrible death ASAP and not just because he's a strong 'counselor'.

Step 1. A Female Counselor retrieves the sweater from Jason's mother's shrine.
Step 2. Remove Jason's Mask via face pummeling.
Step 3. Have Tommy Jarvis pick up the Mask.
Step 4. Female Counselor presses Q in Proximity of Jason.
Step 5. Female Counselor hits Jason (Ideally a Headshot).
Step 6. Jason falls to knees and Tommy presses E. Enjoy!

I have to admit I was really not expecting much from this game and was kind of surprised to see such a long thread on it. But it seems like it's pretty neat and rather faithful to the tone of the movies (not super scary, but more monster movie). I guess I'm just wondering how much replay value this will get with only one (even well made) mode. Definitely looks like something I want to give a try when it's on sale (on a key site), assuming it's still being played.

At the very least the thread has made me start watching all the Friday the 13th movies I got when a friend gave me their digital redeem code for the whole series.

Play games like this with goons. Touching the pubstove will still probably be fun, especially as Jason, but games like this are beers and friends sort of times and this dead gay website has always been choice for that.
