Finally bought this game after watching several hours of Jade's streams over the past couple of weeks and managed to survive my first round because of it. My name on Steam and Discord is Grapeaid.

This game is really fun y'all but I don't like playing as Jason because of how incredibly slow he is. Maybe I should try one who can run next? That said, I managed to kill Duster in my second Jason round ever because he spawned by the phone and was being too aggressive. He was waiting on the other side of the door so I backed away after I broke it down, he missed his swing, and I grabbed him. He came back as Tommy and escaped pretty easily at the end, though.

It's a video game based on a movie series about sex and murder. It's specifically made to appeal to the lowest common denominator. I'm actually surprised that I've only played one round with people who were really racist and was bothered more by the fact that they were shouting the same unfunny line every 10 seconds for the entire round than by their opinions.

Only the ending bit where Ginny gets attacked by Jason through the window is a fever dream.

Everything up to Ginny driving the machete through Jason's shoulder happened. After that is when reality breaks. We know this because her boyfriend comes back to get her after she takes down Jason, when in reality he's dead in the ending and Jason is still on the ground. It also fits with the theme of the first three movies having fake endings just before the true one happens.

Friday 1- Kid Jason attacks Alice in the boat. She wakes up to find there was no boy.

Friday 2- Ginny is attacked by Jason through the window, with her boyfriend and that dog that Jason ate still alive. She wakes up to find she's the only survivor and is delirious from blood loss.

Friday 3- Whatshername is attacked by ZOMBIE PAM in a boat to mimic the first movie.

Okay quick thing

Tinfoil joked that I should be a streamer today, I'll explain why tomorrow it just involved me Chubsing as hard as Chubs could Chubs anything

But man every time I hear my voice in a video, which thankfully is not very often, I cannot stand it. If I ever started recording videos of vidja games, I would have to never watch my own content or else I'd be at a serious risk of never speaking again. What the gently caress is even with my voice, it's just this weird deep bullshit thing that I cannot properly describe without a lot of swearing and self loathing

How you people put up with hearing it I will never understand

I am stoked some one saved that though.

This last patch is a loving disaster, my girlfriend's performance has dropped (and it's running all low on 720p) and there's so many god drat crashes if you don't have a high-end system apparently. Our group I guess is composed of mid-range PCs and it's guaranteed that someone's game will crash mid-match and if it happens to Jason then RIP the round.

I'm using a 6600k and 1070 and have been dipping below 60fps occasionally at 1080p and have also been dealing with a lot of crashes, freezing and other bullshit today. It's not just mid-low end systems with issues. Didn't they say they pushed this patch out early to stop people from being able to steal perks? Hopefully that's why there are so many issues.

If you raise your CPU usage settings to superfast or ultrafast it should help with some of the choppiness. Also lowering the bitrate helps but the video might look a little more pixelated.

Burkion posted:

So I just had two matches I did not record because they do impact my game a bit. It lags more with the recording. But I'm pretty happy with them. Duster and co wanted to kill an easy Jason, and either through luck or chance I got the part. So I killed sweater girl because she was alone, then I killed Duster because he got over confident, and then I killed Tommy Jarvis because gently caress Tommy Jarvis.

I've played Jason very little, and never Part 8, but I'm pretty happy with that all considered. I really want to practice as Jason more, but there's no real practice with the Goon Squad on your rear end.

Speaking of, the next round was against Voodoo Wolf as Jason, which ended in an impromptu Jason hunt with me as the expendable point man. A role I cherish and love. So I just went balls out machete fighting Voodoo face to face while the others ran in with pot shots. Eventually we got the mask off and the rest was history.

I recorded the one where you killed sweater girl but did not see you kill her. I heard you grab her and thought she was at the back of the building so I ran out just in time to hear her die. I recorded a lot tonight and I'm still going through them and editing out some of the time between rounds.

Oh right. Man, we actually did work on that one. I don't know how much, if any, damage Duster did before we rolled up, but Nate and I tore that mask down. If only every Jason kill attempt could go that smooth.

I really wish I had remembered to record the one I did with Duster and someone else that night where I was Tommy. We were the last 3 people left and had a pile of bladed weapons and no other items. Jason shift grabbed the least important person so it ended up being really easy.

For real? This has to be an oversight of some kind.

Nothing works on Jason when he's blocking, not even the sweater. It's really dumb and I think they should remove blocking from the game, though it's a bit late for that and a lot of people would freak out.

This game had a typical outcome for a Duster Jason round. What sets it apart is that a few people spent more than 10 minutes trying to get out in the four-seater. Also, Duster manages to grab someone out of the drivers seat from the passenger side.

when is holding your breath worth it? it doesn't seem to last long enough to make it a good idea because whenever you let go of the button you loudly gasp. if Jason spends any length of time in the house looking for you he's gonna hear you gasp eventually. actually when is hiding ever worth it at all?

It seems to work best if someone else is in the cabin with you. Hold your breath when he's in the same room as you and hope that the other person runs out of the cabin and leads him away. If you're by yourself it's often better to jump out of your hiding spot and try to run when he gets close.

Venus was killing Terry but that's also a noble goal. I think we scoured every corner of the map for the fucker until the two minute sign hit. At that point I just told Venus to get out and Weekly to kill everyone else. Venus got the Tiffany achievement that way too!

I do wish there was a more monetary reward for playing as a team. It feels like 50% of my deaths are because I saved a counselor, only to be immediately ditched and killed by Jason. One guy even cracked me with a wrench so I went into injured can't-run mode :mad: We're in this together dammit. Like instead of a flat 500 CP for escaping, make it 100 per survivor or something. Playing as counselor is becoming the prisoner's dilemma except also there's a machete wielding rear end in a top hat hanging around

Don't play with pubbies or Venus
