I will have to try it, but I've never died by them in the beginning.

As Jason I always spawn near the largest cluster of cabins. I can usually pick off at least three players this way right from the start.

I guess your strategy might work for eliminating one player in the beginning, but you can get a bigger chunk by following my strategy. I haven't tried yours yet though.

My main concern is them potentially ending my game in 5 minutes, or even less if they have my dads a cop perk stacked. So I'm always in tune with where and when my traps sound off. Immediately teleport over there, off em and go back to my routine. Just stopping the cops is my priority.

First time as jason is really overwhelming lol

I didn't kill anyone for like the first 15 minutes. In fact, they were toying with me pretty badly. Didn't help that they were all kids on the mic trash talking. Only way i was able to turn the tide is when my rage kicked in and i smashed through a cabin door where 3 of them were hanging out and they weren't prepared for it and it totally threw them off.

A trap won't kill you unless you're hurt, but it alerts you when someone steps in it so you can quickly have those objectives covered.

Yep. Those little audio cues of them filling up the car or starting the boat, and hearing your trap go off are lifesavers. I'm always frugal with my teleport for stuff like that, I try to shift more than I teleport.

Oh I didn't realize that it alerts you. I will have to try that.

My goal is simply to get them before they get flare guns and pocket knives. I generally kill most if not all of them by ignoring the objectives Til my third warp.

Stupid question. Can you choose what kill to do when you grab someone? Or is it randomized.

You can choose. You can buy more and choose from those. Up to 4.

But yes Jeremy, I've done what you do, and straight murked 1 or 2 counselors 1-2 minutes in the game. Lol. Even managed to do so after teleporting to the phone, then teleporting on the street of the main cabin. I think I do it quick enough to the point counselors cant search the house thoroughly.

Anyone try misdirection over voice chat?? I had gas and that was all that was needed to start the boat. The other players around me didn't realize I had the car ready to go; had installed the battery, had keys, and the gas.

Long story short Jason attacked us. They knew about the boat so I told them to meet me there fully knowing Jason could hear. I felt bad that I ran to the car knowing Jason probably teleported near the boat, and escaped alone lol.

Got some hate for that one.

Counselor players are too chatty around Jason a lot of the time. Gonna have to come up with 'code phrases'

I've definitely said "shit i didn't mean to teleport *turn on stalk*"

Then watch them come out the window only to punch through the heart lol.

As long as people aren't cheating anything is free game. Including the scumbags who sell out their friends to survive.

I've encountered this.

Or when you know a counselor is just sitting there in the treeline, "where did you go??????" *knowing damn well where they are even turning your back on them* shift to their spott and scare the shit out of the them.
 
So I grab someone as Jason, and hit one of the kill buttons, but nothing happens? I keep just standing there holding the person until they stun or knife me? I don't know if its lag or what, but it just seems like pressing kill buttons are really not working at times for me. This wasn't like this in the beta

Certain executions require more room than others. So for example the default choke can be done pretty much anywhere and instantly the moment you grab soemone. Other executions with more movements require you to walk the counselor to a spot where it's empty. Trees/fences/rocks whatever you can think of can sometimes deny an execution from activating.

Hope that helps you out.
 
It's to the point that I don't even want to be Jason unless I'm host. I've found that hosts get pissy and leave when they have to be counselors.

In defense of Jason X if you see it as a comedy film you'll have lots of laughs by the cheesy acting and some of the deaths are actually pretty good. The film never took itself seriously so its hard for me to be too harsh on it.
 
After they reverted the patch I now can't even get passed the "Press Start" screen. Just shows me a disk at the top and the game freezes. Which scares me a bit since I know they were trying to change the saved data to take up less space. And I played a couple of games on the new patch and now it won't load anything. Grrrrrrr

Edit: Woo was getting nervous. Found a fix.

If you are having issues on connecting; go to your "C:\Users\youaccountname\AppData\Local\SummerCamp\Saved\SaveGames" and remove all the files inside or move them, this fixed it for me. (Enable Hidden Folders)

Man, having a hard time tonight getting quick match to work on PSN.

I just wanna play.

Yep. it's pretty awful. I picked a bad day to drop some coin on this.

I'm at the mercy of jumping between different f13 communities on ps4 to see if someone and fit me into their private match

I Just had an awesome match lol. Full room we're all working together to get the stuff for the four seater. Four of us go into the same house and get trapped in the back, but we all had weapons and firecrackers. One of us got grabbed, but we release that person and all run out saying split up and find the rest of the stuff for the car. I immediately start hearing people get choked out and within literally 3 mins Jason has killed 6/7. So I'm the last one left and I'm not finding anymore car parts. Go into a cabin and find the motor for the boat so I guess I'm leaving by boat even though I'm on the other side of the map. So I hit every cabin on my way to the boat and barricade every door and putting traps in front and opening all the windows for fast escape routes.

Manage to get to the boat and put the part on and now I need gas. Im cutting through the woods and I see Jason bashing doors to get into cabins to look for me lol. I find a cabin I didn't hit yet that literally right behind the one he's trying to get in and find a trap and arm it and barricade the door. Go to the back of the cabin and there's the gas can. So I stay away from the cabins while Jason is bashing doors in and get to the boat with the gas and drive off without him ever seeing me. Wish I had that recorded it was flawless lol. Moral of the story barricade all doors and open windows early in the game.

When I'm Jason I make sure to break windows so counselors cant use them to escape without getting hurt...

They're removing the region lock on PS4 tonight.

Heads up to PS4 Users: Sony is going to be disabling EU game invites at 12AMEST. The team will be removing the region lock between US and EU versions of the game, allowing everyone to accept invites from their friends around the world.

The entire merge should last around an hour or so, give or take.

So what's the story with the Pamela tapes? Are those just not in the game yet? I've tried to do some googling but no one is really talking about them, aside from the fact that the devs released two of them before the game dropped.

Killed a whole lobby doing my Liquid Ocelot impression.

BROTHER! IT'S BEEN TOO LONG! — to the first counselor I spotted.

You can't hide from me Snake! You can't hide forever, Snake!

I yelled a lot about them having superior genes to me.

I killed Kenny with a bear hug and screamed BROTHER! EMBRACE ME ONE LAST TIME!

And of course, to the final counselor—before I got them—

Not yet, Snake!

It's not over yet!

How's the game running on PS4 now?

Less server issues? Can actually get into matches? Any weird level loss stuff still around?



lol wtf why was there a Region lock there in the first place?

Having a difficult time getting into a game. Been online for 2 hours and maybe​ I've played. 4 games. Even when I do "connect" I get kicked right away from the host.

I am starting to wonder if they can even fix this mess with the servers.

I played against a Part II Jason doing a flawless Arnold Schwarzenegger impression yesterday.

Funniest thing I've ever experienced in an online game.

ROFLMAO. That's the stuff that makes the game so fun. The RP stuff you can do while playing is off the charts. Bikeman's streams again are a great example. I just love when he gets players to make deals to live and then he double crosses them by getting others to make deals where they'll kill them for him. Some of his best ones are where he's going around "representing" comcast and destroying electrical boxes etc. Then of course he plays the bimbo counselor amazingly well too. If people get into characters it just takes the game to a whole new level and makes for some great laughs.
 
Trap at the fuse box. I tried to initiate the repair but it bugged out because I was on the trap and in game. I'm frozen at the f'n fuse box.

Damn that sucks to hear. I'm watching people play on Twitch but they're all playing on PC and having far less issues now it seems.

Really want this but I dont want to pay 40 bucks for a rushed product =/

Another few good Gaf matches. Feels damn near impossible to win as the lone survivor and trying to just waste time.

After being killed, get a connection timeout error that kicked me out of the match. So for those who I was playing with (IwillKILLurGOD), thats the reason for the unexpected disappearance.

And if anyone is on PS4, join the Gaf F13 community on there!
 
Spent most of the afternoon playing this game today. It started with me and a friend, but we ran into a group of people using headsets, and it was such a good group we ended up friending them and staying with them from like 4:30-11:30.

The game is indescribably more amazing when you get a full group of people that use headsets and mostly understand how to play the game.

Like seriously, I had some fun with it on my own and with one friend, but with a full group it might be one of my favorite multiplayer games in a while.

I want to know too. Haven't seen any in game and nobody really mentions them.
