Streamers and that fantastic beta where they gave backers like 5 keys to giveaway must have done wonders for day 1 sales lol.

Why are they pissed? I backed this game and the more people that buy it the better off the game will be. Just not the first weekend lol.

People are mad that the press and random streamers got keys early.

Ever since I got in about an hour ago, I continue to get matches. Bizarre that I'm still in.

Yeah, I've only played one match against similarly inexperienced counselors as Jason but it's fun when using the powers correctly. Shifting is really important, especially when they have guns or flares. Watching so many streams of the game helped me a bit I think.
In the second match our Jason was pretty bad, but from what I've seen he will be as OP as he should be when people get the hang of him. Should rachet up the tension as players get better.

If someone does get in a game, would they mind posting which platform.
I'm sure others would appreciate it as well.

Impressions after an hour and half of gameplay.
+ Definitley enough jump scares and tense moments to make this a horror game.
+ Nails the source material, so much fan service.
+ Probably the best asymmetrical Multiplayer game to date. I've played my fair share of Dead by Daylight, Evolve and even classics like Alien vs. Predator and this blows them all out of the water.
+ Playing with microphones and working together to escape is one of the most fun cooperative experiences I have had in years. The strategies you can employ (including sacrificing people to further your own escape) are crazy and fun.
- Needs a brightness slider badly. Yes, there is a flashlight but fuck, it's pitch black!
- Bugs galore. Clipping, wonky animations, it's all here and it takes you out of the experience. Unfortunately, since Gun is such a small team, some of these bugs may never be addressed. Nothing I encountered is game breaking, just annoying.
- PS4 version looks sub-1080p. Terrible aliasing, low quality textures and some LOD issues are really obvious.
- 30 FPS feels sluggish and contributes to the "janky" feel of the game.
- Servers. Of course this is being ironed out as we speak but despite being able to play, something most people haven't even managed to do yet, when I am in a game, everyone's ping hovers around 80-100 at all times. For an online only game, this is pretty egregious.
Basically, I love what's here, even if it needs some serious polish and optimization. It's the Friday The 13th game I always wanted and one of the best asymmetrical games I've played, it just needs some serious clean up to fix it's technical issues. Thankfully, technical problems never stopped independent Multiplayer games like Battlegrounds, Day Z and H1Z1 from taking off so hopefully people stick with this because as a massive franchise and horror game fan, this game hits all the right notes.

Surprisingly no. Although, my experience before this had been miserable.

Games with big publishers like Sony and 2K had servers that weren't working properly for months. This is pretty common nowadays with online games.

I'll wait for an offline mode with bots to get put in. I also hope the come on their promise for singleplayer in the future. I knew and willing to back a game that I know will get better over time.

Hahaha, I know I was dying laughing. Not taking anything away from the people that will like this game. I've been watching streams all day and the $40 meme is real. I just had to make a quick and dirty something to commemorate this moment.

They're hilarious. I know they turn a lot of people off but bugs like these actually give me more enjoyment in a lot of games, especially if the tone of the game is supposed to be super serious.

I've been trying to play this all day and the game just won't load. The anti-cheating software crashes and when I check the game files it can't validate or download a file it needs.

Oh yes. Like the glitches in Red Dead Redemption were hilarious. As long as they dont break the game, I dont mind.
