Friday The 13th Video Game

[The Shape]

I'm still loving the game. The matches are always fun. However, I do wish it was possible to play offline, or that there were a few other aspects to the game besides the same match-style games with the same few maps. I feel like a game like this could have an awesome story mode.

After playing this, I can't stop dreaming about how much I want a "Halloween" game to be made in the same vein. Ideally, it would be a little more refined/expansive and developed or co-developed by a bigger/better game developer.

Imagine games/matches set within a small residential neighborhood, in which you can walk (or even drive) around as Michael Myers, walk in and out of various homes hunting teens (either during the day or at night), evading or killing duos of bumbling cops who are called to take you down, arranging or displaying dead bodies in ways that will frighten the other teens, etc.

Or a story mode in which you can either play as Michael or a teen (or even sometimes Dr. Loomis) and do the things described above, but with levels featuring other locations (hospital, farm, Smith's Grove Sanitarium, etc) and more strategic story-based/investigative tasks introduced that integrate the previously established Halloween/Michael Myers lore or even add to it.

That'd be unreal.

I think the game is just pure fun for the fans of the franchise and horror fans (of which I am both). I'm having a lot of fun with it. The matchmaking obviously needs to be addressed and worked out for sure, it's frustrating. I think they also need to fix the ability to play as Jason more. I have played like 15 matches maybe so far and have only been Jason 1 time. There are some other little bugs that I'm sure will be fixed with a patch.

But even all that aside I have a blast playing this with friends. Have had some hilarious moments. My one buddy aimed the gun and shot at Jason, it hit and stunned him, but it also went through him and hit our friend about 30 feet away killing her I wonder if they'll continue to add some more stuff down the road like DLC or new game modes etc

I wonder how Gun Media would handle an Nightmare on Elm Street game

I have watched this game be played. I have also been reading reviews and reaction on the net. This place likes this game a lot more then other places.

The community this game was built for all love it. Some "professional" reviewers and the like just don't understand it.

Lol, 1 outta 15 is nothing. Iv gone 40 matches plus without getting a shot at him. I think it has more to do with the crap servers tho. I think if u were to remain in a lobby of 8, you'd get Jason 1 outta every 8 matches or so.

 

[TX85]

I've heard some live streamers and read comments saying they aren't that into the game because they aren't huge fans of the franchise or slasher genre.

Many people also mostly complain about amount of things to do or features/modes. Quantity is king for a lot of people!

I can understand if u aren't a fan of the franchise. Iv seen people complaining about how "OP" Jason is and when I ask if they've seen any of the films they say something along the lines of "well iv seen parts of some". A lot of those type of people expect some balanced, competitive MP experience when it's not. Jason is supposed to "win". It's takes a little skill and luck to survive a match against Jason(well a decent player as Jason any way)

I will thoroughly enjoy single player when it's finally released. Quick play is full of way too many damn idiots.

True 1 out of 15 is nothing but that's how many games I could get into, the servers and matchmaking seriously need a fix soon.

True story. I had some issues getting into matches yesterday...and then when I did the servers would crash so everyone would get kicked from the session. I'd like to think that sooner rather than later these types of issues will be a distant thing of the past. One can only hope...

I understand not being a fan but they should understand that this is a big love letter to fans. It's obviously catering to the hardcore fanbase and the lore of the franchise.

The gameplay is fine, it could be better but it's not a AAA game nor is it meant to be nor does it have to be! The game is impressive for basically being an indie game with huge license.

Not liking the gameplay is fine but hating on everything else, it's kinda their fault for getting the game or checking it out a good amount when going into it not understanding it or even being a big enough fan to appreciate it.

I hope more patches and dlc maps helps though

Yea on consoles it's pretty bad.

Hope so. I got kicked to the dashboard twice last night. Other than that it was much more solid than it has been.

 

[The Joker]

I waited nearly 30 minutes for a session yesterday. It's the biggest negative of the game for me. The quick play waiting.

The community this game was built for all love it. Some "professional" reviewers and the like just don't understand it.

What is there to understand exactly? I have seen it. Beyond being incredibly glitchy and it taking ages to actually get a game, it seems rather simple.

And it isn't just critics.

I don't know about PS4 but the trick on xbox one is to use clubs & groups

 

[ProjectPat2280]

I just let a 4 seater car full of ppl get away from me. Damn I was heated. Some good driving on their part tho

If you ask what's to understand, u aren't part of the group of people who the game was built for.

It's mainly critics and a few other nobodies who don't get what an F13 game should be. The community this game was built for, almost unanimously love it. And that's with all the issues it has on consoles. The PC version is top notch.

 

[TX85]

I love seeing people leave me behind and drive away just to have Jason stop the car and kill them!

 

[TX85]

The game is about a lot more than just gameplay. That's not the focus

 

[KevanG]

The idea is either learning teamwork and patience or how to navigate with super powers.

 

[Wildcard]

Given the level of idiocy constantly displayed in quick play with this game, even the most patient of people will only get so far.

 

[TX85]

I haven't had any problems with other players and especially to call them idiots. Well okay there was one time where a player broke through a door I had locked for some reason and Jason was near by and then he/she stepped onto my bear trap to get critically injured and killed off by Jason even easier..but before and after that, players have been fine.

Now I'm sure on the mic it truly gets bad but I don't know since I don't mic/game chat

 

[KevanG]

I'm decent at making plans on the fly and one of my last games ended with me and two others. I was Tommy and we were in the car when it got wrecked. I had stunned Jason with the gun and told the two to get in the car so we could drive off up the road since the car was twenty feet away and the exit was maybe fifty.

They proceeded to run like hell away from either way and into the woods. I chased after them and then left them there to die once they ignored me again and ran off further away. I got in the car, drove off and finished it inside of thirty seconds while they died screaming for help.

If you're dumb enough to run away from the exit then I'm not going to die with you.
