I actually feel the in-game jank is what gives the game its charm, 1980's through and through. However stat wipes and general progression loss is a big fucking no-no which will turn people away in droves.

Just had a game where I found the propeller for the boat, and the gas. I was gassing it up after putting the propeller on, my friend was with me and the dude just body blocked my friend from getting on and tried to beat me with a baseball bat. He ended up telling the killer where we were, killer killed me, he took the gas and got out the game.
Good night for me.

the game is awesome... but it's broken as fuck
this shouldn't have been released now, they should have delayed it at least 2 years
and the worst part is, if the host quits, the game ends
what a shame, when i finally found a new unique game that is fun, it turns out to be broken and unplayable

The game becomes repetitive really quickly and becomes less fun if the team does not communicate

Every online game is repetitive to some deegre. It is still a lot of fun for me.

Is this worth 40$ in it's current state? What say ye?
It's a $20 tops, like Dead by Daylight. If I had purchased it myself I would have been very disappointed.

To me it was worth 40 but im a fan of games like this and i love horror movies.

impossible, proof it
Nah. Incredibly long wait times for a game (on PS4), often very laggy, janky, repetitive. They really need to make playing as a counsellor more engaging than just searching 100 draws per game.
There's a kernel of something good in here, and I get why it's popular amongst streamers, but it's not worth paying $40 for.

even though i'm enjoying the game
but honestly it isn't worth even 10$, it's not broken like For Honor, the glitches aren't like Witcher 3, no, it's on a whole new level of broken, the leveling system is frozen, i don't level up anymore, when you purchase a perk, the game freezes, so you can't, matchmaking takes 5-10 minutes then kicks you out( MM isn't a big problem compared to the rest) a LOT of times you can't pick up things, can't enter a car\boat even though they are ready, and there is a HUGE lag, many times when you try to hit jason, he doesn't get hit, the aiming is the worst in gaming history, even playing as jason is broken, sometimes you try to grab and can't, and if the host quits( and he will) the game ends and you get no XP\money at all
despite all these problems( there is MUCH more than that) i'm still enjoying the game
but please, don't support this behavior, this game shouldn't be released at all, this is a pre-early access game, it's a complete mess

Hey, they fixed the DLC codes for PC. Excited to try out Savini's Jason!
I mean I'll be honest here, as far as my experience on PC goes the game is janky and the progression bugs have been annoying but I've never had any problems finding a game in the 4 hours I've played so far and haven't run into any real significant problems. Are the console versions a lot worse?

Sounds like the botw threads around here.
Spent an hour trying to find a match (Xbox) before giving up yesterday, just spent another 40 mins today before finally getting into a match only to be immediately disconnected

Is there some sort of private session or anything going on? I want to play on ps4 dammit.

Fwiw neither me or my 6 friends who have the game have experienced any of this. So yymv, it seems. I think it's worth it.
Only (major) issue we had was with the party matchmaking not working, but the patch fixed that.

This is my biggest fear for this game. Counselors need to be fun to play and feel like you have a chance to escape Jason once he finds you. Which during the Beta involved him being worried about other Counselors completing other objectives to escape so he sometimes would drop out of a chase.
Now with traps that balance has been completely broken since with them Jason can simultaneously camp all the objectives with his traps. In the Beta sprint was broken but once that was nerfed it was pretty balanced outside of cops being called instantly at the start of the game. Even then that made Jason camp the phone to prevent that but that also allowed people to fix the car. You still felt like you had a chance to get out. Which made people want to watch others play and stick around. Now everyone assumes if the cops haven't been called or a car hasn't been moved everyone will die eventually so they dip unless it's a private match.
I'm not an alarmist but if Devs don't throw a bone at Counselors soonish I can see more and more people leaving the start of games if they don't get Jason. Which makes Counselors have even less of a chance since there are less targets searching for parts/items and taking up Jason's time in a chase. Love the game but it's nowhere near as fun as it was during Beta.
PS4 server issues a lot smoother or is it because it's very early in the day? Lol
Been playing for 3 hours and not a single disconnect or error. Only thing not working still is exp bar.
But I'm able to leave a lobby and find a match in under a minute now, which never happened.
Also Deborah is life... Since I unlocked her I've been able to survive and escape by car (or close to it) more often than not.
[Edit] Speaking of Jason's traps... I thought I out smarted him by hiding upstairs and waiting for him to arrive before jumping down, but he placed a trap underneath the window which led to insta-death hah.
I love Jason being OP. It pays to be lucky as some Counselor's are spawned into better situations than others, but it doesn't guarentee much if those players handle it poorly. I dunno, I may be in the minority, but I like the hopeless feeling it provokes much like how I'd imagine the films.

Not when they charged £31 for a broken multiplayer only game. I really want this but am not paying that.

Not for me. My first game this morning I got in within a minute. That was great but then I got booted from the lobby and couldn't get another match for 15 minutes. At which point I just gave up.

PS4. I played two games when it came out and have now gotten that error every time I've tried to play since.

It doesn't really matter which platform. It's something happening on all of them. Even PC.
I think people need to step back and remember that this game is made by an indie dev and not a big time dev. Even Rocket League had bad issues at first. The game hasn't even been out for a weekend yet, be a little patient.
I know that makes me look a little defense force-ish but I thinking people need to be a little more patient.
I've consistently been able to get games on PS4. Usually a 5-10 min wait.
Just did my fourth match. Was going to be the decider if I refund the game or not. It was a super fun round. I got to be Jason for the second time but now I knew what I was doing. Had an absolute blast and nearly killed all the campers. I got 7/8 because one I burnt my Sprint too early and she fled to the cops. Luckily as she ran off another camper was on her way so I just stood on the bridge. Had ourselves a final confrontation but I got the better.
Also, I could not stop laughing because I got "mothered" for the first time. Camper was hiding and did some Psychic nonsense so old Mrs. Voorhees started talking and I got stunned.
Boy was I hamming it up on the mic though. I should start staying by the phone more regularly, I see most go for that first thing so I should catch some people off guard.
Definitely going to keep on playing but it is really hard to recommend with the bugs. Really hope it gets ironed out soon. The exp stuff is really shitty and I got no levels from that killer match. That was 1000xp easily.

I take it they haven't fixed the Xbox matchmaking yet? I spent 20 minutes waiting on launch night. Saw this was a thing, and stopped trying. Guess I'll be waiting a bit longer.
Then they should be charging a more realistic price. Supposedly it was $25 before they decided to add single player and up it to 40.
You can get around the matchmaking by hitting up the looking for group section in the social game hub. I've been able to get into private pregame lobbies in two minutes. Regular quick match still stinks as of this morning.
Unfortunately, as to whether the game will let you finish an entire round is always up in the air.
^What this dude said. The fun of hopping into a private match is matched with the stress of not knowing if you're gonna get kicked before the game or criticized for lag like in the old SOcom games.
And who knows if single player will even be added on time? Could be next year. It is only a four man team.
