The damage is probably as high as it should get. Making the broken window animation longer would give Jason more chances to catch up.

Do it like Part 8: 2 v 7 7 counselors, 2 "killers." One "physical" Jason, the big hockey mask man, and one "ghost boy" Jason that can't interact physically with counselors. The kid Jason is invisible and can temporarily appear to scare the counselors, spiking their fear and highlighting their location to the physical Jason player.

The animation for climbing over broken glass could be made slightly longer than the animation for climbing through an unbroken window, and maybe that would fix the issue.

As much as I want to play I predict it's still full of trolls and hackers.

With how much backlash the game and their handling of it has gotten I wouldn't rule out that they'd rather just move on despite any potential to continue and hope people forget about it.

I was just about to post that but you beat me to it. Victor Miller said he doesn't want to stand in the way of the franchise. The lack of communication from him could be a variety of things. Perhaps he wants to settle/resolve the legal issues before responding to Horror, Inc, or he isn't aware of their attempts(if they only contact by email he might be ignoring them because of too many attempts). As soon as the OK to go is given, I want to see the partially finished content already in the game build to be finished, at the very least. Jason X, kill packs, etc. I can live without Grendel.

Players like this are unfuriating.

Some guy on twitter that says it's not his email. It's not the same email that you get from Victor Miller's personal website but that could be his business email rather than personal, he might have multiple. He's trying to claim that Miller didn't say he wouldn't interfere with the game therefore he'll try to put his hands in the cookie jar.

Sorry to bump the old thread but I heard the original email image was fake or from a fake email because supposedly it's not Victor Miller's email address. Can anyone confirm this? They're saying Miller never said he'd not interfere with the game.

Yeah if their camera was not angled down they'd miss the trap on their screen.

@JennyMyers1984 Thanks for the mention. I try to be helpful. Been a bit cynical lately but I always hope for the best, but try to be realistic.

@aurllcooljay They might have actually did that on purpose, the second one at least. If I knew I was screwed from the first trap I'd just suicide too.

They're from Japan. Hardly any Japanese people speak English. Don't count on them running the forums or even reading them. They'll likely only pay attention to bug reports made in Japanese. They are xenophobic over there.

Yeah man, like don't you know it's a super secret combo-code to reward those of us with an advanced intelligence? Only the most superior elite humans can accomplish such a thing, therefore it should stay.

Technically speaking, as far as stuns go, Roy tanked an attempt to stun him(strike to the back with an oar). The only stun that succeeded was the bulldozer. But yes this should be fixed.

Could've used a different one. If you don't have multiple credit cards, could have bought a walmart prepaid credit card and try that. There's always a way!

The lawsuit gets settled tomorrow. "Oh hey guys sorry but you're not getting new content because we've moved on." A dedicated group of fans band together and through their sheer determination and love for the franchise raise enough support for another developer to continue work on the game and even provide new content. Gun/Fonic:

No doubt the game is flawed, but I'm thinking within the boundaries of what the new devs will be legally allowed to do. Sure extra features would be nice but until the lawsuit is settled, the best way to handle stuns is to largely reduce them. After the new devs get the OK to make new stuff then we can figure out how to add new stuff but until then we have to work with what the game already has.

Yeah, my change would address that by reducing the stun frequency to a much, much rarer occurrence, but it should still happen. Jason needs to be strong, yes, but not to the point where we get that mess at launch where a whole host of bugs made Jason an unstoppable bulldozer that was utterly unfazed by anything in his path. That is simultaneously not reflective of the movies and bad gameplay design. He gets stunned in the movies, and stun mechanics in games are just fine when they are implemented well. And the fighting game comparison is still valid because you fight Jason, just in a 3D environment rather than 2D. Jason should not be utterly implacable with no reaction to any external force, or totally invulnerable in every regard. Just reduce stuns to a fraction of their frequency and that will be plenty.

I would suspect that Illfonic and Gun Media would, let's just say "neglect" to hand over whatever assets they currently have for another developer to work with it. A new developer would probably have to create any future DLC entirely from scratch. Just a hunch.

You are wrong there. A gigantic number of games have stun mechanics. If every game were to adhere to your strict doctrine of "absolutely no loss of character control no matter what" then it would ruin a lot of games. I'm playing Monster Hunter as of late and your character getting stunned offers you a reason to avoid getting hit. If you get stunned by failing to avoid the monster's attacks, you get punished. And it works in that game. Imagine if in Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, your character would never lose control. You'd never have those "mini stun" moments when you take a punch without blocking, it would be as if both characters are implacable terminators that just punch each other with no reaction to the hit until one player loses all their HP before the opponent does. Your strict doctrine is flawed. Stuns in games work when done well. The stuns in this game just haven't been implemented well. The primary problem is that they are far too frequent. If the weapon stats were tweaked to significantly lower their stun chance, it would fix the problem. It would require high quality perks to get a good chance of stunning Jason. And in that case, using a perk slot for stuns would remove a perk slot that people use for other perks that they think are required to stand a chance. Maybe people would stop using Medic as much so they can stun Jason, or whatever the case.

He won the "first round." And this happening in September, combined with Victor Miller officially stating that the game would continue even if he won the lawsuit, confirms that they sure did jump the gun by abandoning the game.

The closest I came is when the game was in a super buggy state and my Jason kept turning his block off when he got hit, and every time I tried to throw a knife the game would flicker so I couldn't aim. They got everything in place to kill me but I wasn't going to let the buggy nature of the game be my undoing so I just waited the time out. If I die when the game works properly that's fine but I"m not going to let someone take credit for killing me when the game engine itself is actively trying to get me killed.

The frequency of stunning Jason should be reduced but it shouldn't be negated entirely. Perks have beefed up the frequency so if weapons had a much lower stun frequency it would kind of require perks to get a decent chance of stunning him, which might negate the overuse of certain perks that everyone uses by default.
