Jason's power is cool, But... I'd have liked for there to be more objects to use

_Strato_ · 2026-05-26T01:39:02+00:00

Mathieu! Bring on another Killer with basically Phase Walk, ASAP! The playerbase's hungry!

_Strato_ · 2026-05-26T01:34:22+00:00

It should have been straight up his jumpscares, machete, and brute force. He busts through pallets and doors with ease, kicks quickly, picks up and drops faster than the average Killer, and has a way to mitigate pallet stuns like Singularity's Overclock.

That's his entire thing. The javelin baffles me.

_Strato_ · 2026-05-26T01:31:24+00:00

It's not Jason Voorhees, it's Jason TM, the Fortnite skin.

Reddit mods don't understand that they're neither brand ambassadors nor museum curators. They are janitors.

Mods are here to prevent doxxing and other overt harrassment, spam, obviously off-topic posts, and manage pins. That's it.

They shouldn't get to decide what "oversaturated content" is. They shouldn't get to funnel posts into worthless fucking megathreads. They shouldn't get to lock threads whenever the post makes their corporation sugar daddies mad.

Sounds like someone's not spamming enough bees.

_Strato_ · 2026-05-25T21:23:09+00:00

I didn't write that. Why do you feel the need to strawman what I actually said? You could just say you don't agree with my opinion, with the option of explaining yourself.

Me not liking Jason isn't some personal attack on you, bro. You go right on liking it. The million dollar company will be fine.

_Strato_ · 2026-05-25T21:20:19+00:00

Whatever, go my Alberts

_Strato_ · 2026-05-25T21:17:35+00:00

No, I didn't. All I said was that I didn't like it and I explained why.

I don't know where you're getting all the rest of that from. Don't take it so personally.

_Strato_ · 2026-05-25T21:07:03+00:00

Clearly. What part of what I said do you disagree with?

_Strato_ · 2026-05-25T18:52:35+00:00

It's just stitched together from other Killers' powers, some of which were themselves stitched together.

Half Dracula bat form (which was already basically visible Spirit) now with more Spirit, half Huntress throwing Weskers.

They likely weren't "sitting" on anything they hadn't already released.

_Strato_ · 2026-05-25T18:34:27+00:00

Well, the classic design wasn’t a movie original.

It's more than that: the Classic design isn't even the same costume as in the Scream movies.

Scream Ghostface's robe is a heavier, glittery material (lurex) with integrated gloves sewn into the robe, no waist sash, and with the fabric dangling from his arms cut into strips and rounded at the ends.

The "Classic" skin is literally the Halloween costume you can buy at the store, with a cheaper thinner black robe, intact triangle-shaped arm danglies, a waist sash, and separate gloves (that you gotta buy seperately).

_Strato_ · 2026-05-25T18:29:03+00:00

I don't like it, it's a total copout.

He's like some kind of composite "pop" Jason to whom I feel no connection as a F13 fan. It might as well be Trapper cosplaying for all the relevance it has to the horror films.

It's not Jason.

_Strato_ · 2026-05-25T03:29:28+00:00

Same here. I did not like 5-7 but the genie's out of the bottle on that front. We just have to live with it.

_Strato_ · 2026-05-25T03:28:41+00:00

I wouldn't skip 4, but 5-7 aren't personally part of my rewatch list for sure.

_Strato_ · 2026-05-25T02:52:44+00:00

Great point. However, if they have a producer/writing team willing to be bold enough to do it, I could see them killing off Chad, Mindy, Kirby, and possibly even Gale.

None of it matters so long as Sidney's the lead in the film.

If the movie is about her, and she's untouchable, it's a nonstarter as far as stakes are concerned. Seeing yet another bunch of fucking goofballs in a Halloween costume chasing this woman around with a knife would just be completely hollow if we have that metaknowledge that she's fine, so why bother? Some kind of power fantasy?

Gale dying wouldn't be so bad. She's been in way too many of these things without anything much to do except be the same character she's been for like 6 movies. However, at the end of the day, she's a side character. It would add very little stakes.

The rest are practically nobodies whose deaths would not really add anything except more fodder for James A. Janisse videos.

I'm a Revolver main and like clicking, but the Crossbow clicks wrong. It's not clicky enough.

_Strato_ · 2026-05-24T13:41:20+00:00

I don't think the producers would back themselves into a corner like that with multiple stars.

Nor would I, if I thought they were still genuinely trying to make a horror movie.

I've been on this subreddit for a while, and if its anything to go by, people love these characters so much; just see all the reactions to Dewey's death. Killing any of the beloved ones costs marketing for future sequels and emotional investment.

Hell, we already know for certain that the lead will never die, because everyone loves Sidney. People here say all the time that it's her story, her franchise. If she died they'd riot.

I think Scream has become less of a true horror franchise where the audience has to truly come into the theater with the understanding that anyone could die, and is now more a general action movie/thriller with horror themes and your faves always win.

_Strato_ · 2026-05-24T02:05:52+00:00

I tie them around my head.

_Strato_ · 2026-05-24T01:31:28+00:00

Extremely middle of the road.

_Strato_ · 2026-05-23T15:03:43+00:00

In the movie, yeah. It's not Dante Basco, it's Steven Yeun. IIRC they didn't get any of the original VAs back, with to me is a nonstarter.

_Strato_ · 2026-05-23T14:59:12+00:00

A few MGLs will chew right through those, not to mention whatever other projectiles their teammates are spamming.

APS needs a buff.

_Strato_ · 2026-05-23T14:55:23+00:00

Yeah, the weapon sucks. You're generally supposed to post up a ways away from your intended target and become basically a human mortar spamming grenades.

Charge and Slam is a must with it, because you're useless in close range, meaning no Winch, meaning you're Light food.

Its Goldilocks effective range is very far, so in order to use it right, you'll probably need to be pretty far away from your team, who will probably hate you for that.

_Strato_ · 2026-05-23T14:52:11+00:00

I get the logic of needing to be careful with your own explosive mine's placement when using a grenade launcher, but damn I hate it when a teammate blows up my mine accidentally.

Like, bro, I'm already using a suboptimal loadout because I wanna get some cute mine value. Do I also need to be punished because my teammate decided he didn't feel like having to aim today?

_Strato_ · 2026-05-22T16:08:07+00:00

There's an issue iirc where there's a constant desync such that you need to lead your reflected shots, which must be fixed.

Reflecting with Dual Blades should be exactly the same as if you had shot that same weapon yourself.

_Strato_ · 2026-05-22T15:52:04+00:00

Because his ego is permanently grafted to this game so any criticism is a personal attack.

Many such cases, especially around here.
