As much as I like to poo poo on Twitch streamers, the youtube live ones might be even worse. Twitch is blocked at work so I watched a youtube live girl who constantly screamed, gave away her location over her mic to Jason every chance she had, and had a graphic she used to cover the screen during a death scene so you couldn't see the gore.

decent rack

there was an almost painfully stereotypical hot chick style streamer i was watching on twitch yesterday because the top 10 morons were all loving around trying to figure out how to kill jason. tank top, tattoos, dyed hair, glasses, the works. she gave the fakest sounding horror screams ever when jason's music played and i quickly felt really uncomfortable because i wasn't sure if i was watching her record for a hentai game or not

Keep in mind Kane only played Jason for 4 films, the other times it was a bunch of different people (and directors so you had a crap ton of variations). Kane has his own "views on the Jason character" in terms of what he should do, running was a big no no for him, along with killing animals. So I'm not shocked that the running looks odd, since he never did it in the roll to the best of my knowledge.

One weird side effect of Kane doing mocap for all the Jason's in this game is Jason is a lot more bigger and bulkier than he ever was in most of the earlier movies. It's kind of a shame that they all seem to have the same bulk to them.

Oh I know that, though Kane Hodder is also smart enough to know that Jason did run in 2 and 3.

I actually kind of love how the other Jasons all look, because it looks like Kane Hodder wearing their makeup. I would love to see what a Freddy VS Jason version would look like

EDIT: I at least got to preload it, so I would assume you could

DbD is terrible and it's entirely possible F13 could also be bad despite or in a reversal from what we've seen. but it's dumb to come in here and hold DbD on a pedestal, even in terms of commercial effect it's already less important to its publisher than Payday 2 despite PD2 being far older and further into its production cycle.
I wasn't at all attempting to attack your point of view with that, I'm just legitimately awed and wanted to know. 10-20 hours is one thing but hundreds is another completely. Surely you must have enjoyed yourself to some extent, but that's neither here nor there. People still play DbD quite a bit and it's a comparison point. I also do not believe it is perfect, but in asymmetrical survival horror multiplayer games it's the game to beat right now.

Run in a way Jason has never, ever moved apparently.

I just never saw anything wrong with the way he runs. That's how he ran in Part 3.

s.i.r.e. posted:

Exactly, Jason isn't Pumpkinhead or the limping mutants from The Hills have Eyes, he's just ugly dude that slowly became zombified in later films but he never moved or acted beastly.
I think in Part 3 he came off much more lumbering and threatening than our resident goofball :shrug:
Again, I said it was minor, it's just... so weirdly chipper.

Horror movies are all about not showing the villain unless absolutely necessary so you don't catch the weird humdrum like going for a lengthy jog and unfortunately video games don't have that convenience, so it seems appropriate to exaggerate it a bit to the side of horror.

I'm a little surprised how much pushback I'm seeing for something so trivial.

He just looks like a dude chasing after people, like someone playing tag with friends. It's a jog in the game and it works, it fits Jason's character.

Watching someone who plays a game at a high level or is entertaining is interesting. Someone who is bad at the game and continually jabbers nonsensically over it is not, yet some of them do quite well. Its beyond me.

Trying to do the Jason kill is a prisoner's dilemma type problem, if you ask me.

It's an extremely high-risk move that is 100% guaranteed to draw Jason's attention to you, and you need to be coordinated with the counselor who becomes Tommy. In a pub game, that's going to be really, really difficult because if Jason's already killed a few counselors, you're not sure if the talkative one you need to pull it off is going to respawn as Tommy. Plus any competent Jason at that point is just going to double-down on murdering Tommy ASAP because if he bites it, the attempt is over no matter what.

Meanwhile, if you play to just survive you can take advantage of Jason's primary weakness - he can't be everywhere at once. If you're going for any other escape option at the same time as other counselors, Jason will have a harder time pinning you all down before at least one of you (hopefully you) succeeds.

To put it simply - you have a much better chance of surviving by playing to survive instead of trying to kill Jason.

Play as if you're not going to kill Jason and them get him in a pincer maneuver once you get all the elements in place. Of course that'll be pretty damned hard considering Mrs Vorhees is a blabbermouth.

I've had the same thoughts about this and my conclusion was that they are like adults acting in a kids movie. Whether they intend to or not, they are probably catering to a young like 8 to 14 yr old crowd that enjoys that sort of rambling gibberish.

Pamela being quite chatty is the main issue I see with everything. Now that the secret's out, people going into Jason's cabin are going to be doing a lot more than sightseeing. If I were playing as Jason on release, I would bet that anyone going into the cabin is trying to go for the kill and deal with them accordingly.

from the looks of things even just getting to the sweater-wearer early and getting them to blow their stun early will effectively defeat the kill attempt. it doesn't look like the survivors can do that more than once.

You also have to unmask Jason before the stun even works from the looks of things. Managing that appears to be a chore in and of itself.

this scenario actually makes me wonder about the edge case of the cat with keys getting drowned by jason. is that car just boned for the entire match or do those keys respawn?

probably the former, it's not like the game is unwinnable if one car is impossible.

That's why it's a good idea to announce you have the keys, so they can loot them off your mutilated corpse when they need them in 4 minutes.

I don't view the cop method as a means of dealing with Jason.

I view it as a "I don't need to run faster then the bear. I just need to run faster then YOU." method. Those cops are hosed. But they'll be hosed and I'll be driving away to the police station far far away from Jason.
