I've been playing Jason 7 to make it harder on myself. You don't have the rundown capability of 3 or the walk speed or ranged shenanigans of 6. You can see where people are all day but it's actually hard to catch them, and you have to play smart and hit and run a lot to kill more than 1 or 2 people. The cop call is a genuine threat because even the slower counselors can ditch you jogging and get to the edge, especially in crystal lake, on foot.

A Friday the 13th game where Jason isn't a killing machine that you should be scared of would be like a GTA where no car can go above 20 mph because it's too hard to steer when going fast.

In PS4 I've had luck quitting after 4 minutes and trying again.

It helps that I can smoke or pet my dog while waiting and it's not pressing.

To whoever suggested breaking all the windows but one, and then setting a trap there, you are a genius. I've caught so many people that way.

My last victim was some screechy kid who was the last remaining player. He spent the entire session hiding out while I hunted down the other players. I finally tracked him down to the cabin he was in and set up a trap outside the sole unbroken window, while he was taunting me. I casually broke through the door, and he stunned me and ran for the window.

As he was going through: "Wow you suck at this"

2 seconds later: "MOTHERFUCKER! gently caress YOU, gently caress YOU!"

Just as my stun wore off, he ended up going back into the cabin due to hammering X to break free and ended up in my arms. I promptly threw him back out.

As we went back to the lobby, he was raging and cursing. He also accused me of hacking and said he would report me and I'd be banned forever. Then he promptly rage quit after that parting statement.

Money well spent on this game.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that there was less than 2 minutes left on the clock so that must have especially stung.

No, he was your average PS4 kid, cocky as hell. His name was Sonic with a bunch of numbers added. Definitely fit the stereotype of a gamer kid which I thought was just an exaggeration

That moment made all the server issues worth it in the end. Even the other players were cracking up.

Yep. Owning pubbies never gets old. I remember a recent Jason round where the first thing I did was teleport to the car to boobytrap it. I appeared right next to a counselor. She said "You know what? Just kill me. This is the shittiest spawn EVER." So I did. Then I hunted the rest down one by one. One of them tried to make a break with the fuel,leading me on a merry chase,taunting me all the while. He eventually got caught on a piece of scenery....right next to the fireplace. His cry of "OH COME O-" as I roasted his nuts filled me with great joy.

The people playing it raise it above itself as an experience. even the people who are bad at it. even the people who troll other players, or rage out, or just get mega salty. they all make the game better

The more I think about it the more grab seems useless. If you are close enough to attack then you can almost always just hammer away at them until they die. Makes it so you never get hit with pocketknives too.

I had something like that earlier only it was way more fun and surreal. Two griefers repaired the car and just drove around trying to run people over. It looked like the shittiest demolition derby ever. I was juking them pretty well and almost made it to 20 minutes, but I screwed up and didn't check my escape route properly. Made me panic and hit one of my attackers with my weapon, which was a bad idea since it put me too close to him to dodge properly. Oh well.

GOON TALES THE WHATEVER-

So I played a few goon games tonight. We had some really on point Jasons, and then one really lovely one (Me) who seemed to forget how to grab people until the last few minutes when he finally got two kills (Totally thought it was E for some loving reason. Fourth time ever playing Jason!)

I died every time I wasn't Jason, and quite frankly they could have killed me as Jason if they had wanted to. Until I remembered how to grab people anyways!

So by my final game, sadly after Tinfoil had bowed out without being gunned down by his companions, though after he ran over one of his companions in turn, I was well and sick of dying. I declared to myself, this time, this time Burk lives.


I spawn on the goddamn motherfucking porch of the giant rear end house that is the biggest Jason beacon to ever exist in the world. As Vanessa. I scream a lot. Some of my fellows may have heard me screaming, I'm not entirely sure- there were others there. I did not stay long however as I ran the gently caress off into the woods blindly, just trying to get into the middle of goddamn nowhere to figure out what to do.

When I arrived at the cabin, I found a map, a pocket knife, a walkie talkie, and gas. Being a Vanessa, I wasn't thrilled with the idea of trying to gas up the car. Then I heard a voice over the walkie talkie, a wonderful Psygonis. He mentions idly that he has the propeller. He mentions having something else as well but I largely ignore that. I look at the map and discover I'm not terribly far from the boat. He's a ways off though.

I go back to fretting about the gas not wanting to leave it behind. Eventually I realize that Psy is on the correct road, and that if we meet up, we can get to the boat and get the gently caress out. I hoped, in my heart, that he would not be a Vanessa.

It was a false hope. He strolled up as Vanessa as you please. So we two Vanessas ran off to the boat and hosed up fixing it so many times. Just, all of the times. After some fuckery over who would drive, I got in and started the boat so he could get in, which we totally did not forget. And then I drove into a rock.

Thankfully a true hero and patriot was juking the gently caress out of Jason, and the Vanessas survived unscathed, having not even met our Silver Nova Jason.

After this I fully realized just what Psy had- he still had the phone fuse. Meaning we had taken one of the only gas tanks, and we had taken the phone off the table. We had well and truly hosed over everyone else, in under 8 minutes no less!

And then Olesh got clever.

Counterpoint: You can gently caress up Jason with a baseball bat. If you're a counselor in​ a standing fight, you can also bob and weave like Muhammad Ali. Counselors have tons of advantages if they keep cool and time their attacks.

If you have a bat/machete and a pocket knife AND you're Vanessa you can dick around with Jason like he's a loving scrub.

The way I've been doing it is to wait for Jason to make the first move, dodge backward, and hit him back. His attacks have more priority so trying to hit first is a fool's errand. The grab is the big problem since it comes out so fast, his weapon attacks have some warm up tell that let you dodge backward.

What I'm saying is, bring a pocketknife.

Haha, fastest game ever. Spawned by boat as Buggsy. Find propeller in the first house. Run to boat as Chad shows up with the gas. In complete silence, we both manage to somehow not gently caress up our repairs, then got in and peaced out. I think the whole thing was under 3 minutes.

To yolo rolls! The cause and solution to all problems!
There's a patch coming now that should finally set everything straight, except for console matchmaking. Quoting the sticky on the Steam forum

quote:

Server Maintenance to occur - Should fix 'Database Login Failure,' XP issues, level issues, etc.
Service Update! - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING COMPLETELY SO YOU ARE AWARE:

Okay, so the team is working on a fix for servers. These server issues have been causing the Database Login Failure, the level issues where people are not gaining XP, as well as perk assignment issues that have been present from launch. Obviously, this is causing a damper on gameplay for people. We're looking to change that.

The short of it is; we will be shutting down servers completely at around 7AM EST for maintenance. We expect them to be down until around 10AM EST, though this could be a shorter time. We will post when things are back online. This shutdown will affect ALL THREE PLATFORMS: STEAM, XBOX ONE and PS4.

When servers do come back online; you should no longer see the database login failure, you should see your stats set to where they need to be from gameplay with unlocks and perks and you should able to work with your account as normal.

Bear in mind; this will not affect matchmaking issues that are still present on Xbox One and PS4. This is mainly to remove the server issues for accounts still being locked out and seeing their stats/unlocks not displaying/unlocking correctly.

We hope this is a step in the right direction and are confident in things working well, but please bear with us. We're working hard at it! Apologies for the inconvenience, but this should stabilize things for users. Our next big goal is matchmaking for PS4 and Xbox One!

The grab is also better because it's uninterruptable and you are invincible during it. So if you have a cocky person with a gun in the group you can choke out people without worrying about being immediately downed.

Plus you can grab right out of shift so it has basically no drawbacks apart from the long animation. Pocketknives aren't that common as far as I have seen.

As Jason, I've twice experienced a glitch where a brown closet with a counselor inside didn't give me an interaction prompt.

Randomly hacking at it scared one guy out. The other game I had to teleport away and wait for him to leave.

I had the most ridiculous car escape experience earlier. It's long, but worth it.

I'm playing as Part 2 Jason and the other players managed to get the four-seater started, three of them inside. The exits are to the east and west, and the car is facing south on a road that connects to the big road leading to the exits. Since they're facing the wrong way, they drive forward so they can pull a u-turn. I morph then shift in front of their car. I smash the car, but one of them gets out and shoots me. They restart the car as I get back up and give chase.

They keep going and I realize they're going to try and cheese the escape by reversing all the way to the west exit. My morph is still down and I figure that they've got an escape locked in. Unfortunately for them, while reversing is faster than my running speed, it is also slow enough to let my morph refresh and get behind their car just a couple yards from the exit. They hit me with the rear bumper which sadly doesn't knock out the engine. What it does, however, is give me time to run over and yank AJ out of the driver seat. Cue a flurry of combat and chasing which includes me getting shot with a flare gun, getting stunned multiple times (Part 2 Jason is weak to this), me setting a trap by the driver's door, and pocketknives. They finally manage to trigger and escape the trap, stun me and get back in the car and start the engine, but not before I could get behind their car again.

They decide to drive forward and make for the east exit. I morph in front of them before the exit and smash the car again. Another flurry of activity, this time with firecrackers. AJ decides to sacrifice herself so the other two can escape, and I finish her off with melee attacks because you just know that rear end in a top hat had three pocketknives. The others get the car rolling past me, and I watch helplessly as the remaining two survivors drive toward safety.

But no! For some reason I can't fathom the new driver seems to think that the exit isn't about 40 feet in front of them and instead is at the end of a smaller road leading south. He veers off as I look incredulously on and drives a ways until he pulls alongside a cabin, which was probably his first clue that he was going the wrong way. I shift in front of the car, he reverses and manages to get the car wedged between the cabin and a tree. I break the car then yank him out, partner hits me and they both run into the cabin. I put a trap by the driver's door again and they lead me on a jolly chase in and around the cabin. I manage to grab the other passenger and initiate a kill animation. The driver takes this opportunity to get in the car and start it, somehow not activating the trap I set. He drives off, not taking the road he came on but instead heading in a northwesterly direction driving on a loving footpath. He veers right, back onto the main road and towards the east exit again.

I morph again, but the inaccuracy of it puts me well off the road and a fence blocks me from shifting in front of him. Curses, my quarry has finally managed to escape, drat him!

But no. For some reason I really, really can't fathom, he veers off to the south on the same road AGAIN. I morph/shift in front of the car, break it, pull him out and treat him to a nice punching through the chest animation. Three other survivors left, none of them nearby. The 10 minute long car escape finally ended, and the remaining counselors weren't lucky enough to put together an alternate escape. I hunt each of them down.

7/7 kills.
