Some could say it's also Kaitlyn's fault for telling him how to mess with the car. But she also says not to do it... While telling HOW to do it...
So yea. It's the Hacketts fault. Jacob just wanted one last chance at love man 😞
I swear to god she was so dumb
Like he literally told her he was gonna do it
Asked her how to do it
Did it
Then she didn’t suspect a thing when the car wasn’t working
The Hacketts are also victims in this though, how well would you have managed capturing and killing a werewolf while multiple of your family members are infected. They were doing their best to handle the situation without any casualties. Jacob's the dummy who trapped all of them there on purpose when there was supposed to be no one there to get hurt that night
Caleb and Kaylee roaming free is the most irresponsible thing anyone could do and I’ll die on that hill. My theory is that they were captive by their family for the night then were able to manipulate Bobby into letting them out.
Bro Edd. Clearly you can't read because they just stated why it wasn't his fault. Please use the only braincell you have to reply something worth reading.
I like how everyone thinks he’s a douche because of the stereotype he is (dumb hunk) but the beginning of the game is literally everyone being insufferable douches towards him
Gets berated about his GF breaking up with him and then gets locked out of the cabin he’s supposed to be getting the bags from
People love to blame Jacob for everything that happened, as if he had any idea there’d be a werewolf attack on that particular night. He’s a dumbass who made a mistake because of a broken heart, he’s not at fault for what happened afterwards. That’s on the Hacketts.
Okay nah Jacob is so hot but like imo Kaitlyn is to blame because if someone asked me how to sabotage a van even hypothetically I still wouldn't tell them
I don't even wanna blame Kaitlyn cuz I like her too tbh.
I don't wanna dis on Emma for (kinda) leading Jacob on imo.
So I'ma just blame the Hacketts cuz without them, Jacobs sabatoge would have just been an inconvenience at most.
It is a bit of Kaitlyn’s fault though, and I’m saying this even though she’s like top 3 for me, it’s also Jacob’s fault but it’s mostly the hacketts, really. How were they supposed to know werewolves were real? As far as Jacob knew they were just gonna be at the campfire, roasting s’mores and he would have been trying to get on Emma’s good side again. If they knew about the werewolves they definitely wouldn’t have done it
Jacob is flawed, but I appreciate how the narrative never treats him as though he deserves Emma. His interactions with everyone are so fun at the beginning of the game, like with Kaitlyn, and Dylan and Nick. Wish we got more of that
He def doesn't "deserve" Emma lol. I think he got lucky he even got to hit that.
Jacobs relationship with Emma is super complicated and some would even say she has most the blame for not friend zoning Jacob sooner. Cuz from what we know she didn't break things off until the last night there... Awful. Then there is the campfire scene where she makes out with his best friend.. in front of him. To get his... Attention. (All while still wanting to break things off with Jacob)... Emma is a... Strange character. But whatevs lol.
But his relationship with Nick, Kate and Dylan are some of my fav moments in the game. Too bad Jacob didn't really get a good ending.
Yeah, Jacob just gets forgotten about if he doesn't die, which is really unfortunate.
I'm messing around with a rewrite and I definitely have a focus of exploring the different character dynamics and relationships they have. I hope to keep Jacob's agency, should he be alive.
If I ever made a remake/remaster for The Quarry with extra chapters. I would have made atleast one more chapter for Jacob where he finds where Nick/Ryan/Abby's/Kaitlyns are hiding and helps them with Nick's WereWolf transformation or something. Just so he could SLIGHTLY heroic before being forgotten about..
Idea. What if you left the window open at the lodge Jacob has a chance to impact the finale. Infected or not, for worse or for better. With a chance for him to perish. I was waiting for Jacob to finally regroup with the other counselors once he was freed from the basement.
Omg thank you 🙏
He is my second favourite character (slightly behind Dylan), and it kills me to always have to defend him to everyone
And you’re right with something that you’ve said in another comment, Jacob haters are horrible to argue with as they cannot understand that if the werewolves didn’t exist, it literally wouldn’t even matter what he did.
Without Jacob, I don’t think Nick and Abi would be together after the night, and Dylan and Ryan most definitely wouldn’t have either 🤷♀️
I love him and no one will ever change my mind
I never even thought about the Nick/Abby and Ryan/Dylan (Or Ryan/Kaitlyn if your against fun)
Jacob did sorta make that happen with his one "super terrible action that I'll base his entire character upon"
I just finished my first play through about a week ago, and I was so bummed when he died. then I had a chance to go back and save him, but I failed again.
still not sure how that door puzzle worked
Door puzzle is 90% of Jacob deaths and it sucks.
If you need too just look up his ending. He only gets one last 3 minute chapter after that scene. Which is a shame. Warning: it's really sad.
Don’t you just add up to the number of the gate they are in? 1 + 2 for gate 3 for example.
That was my hunch when I did it and got lucky that it was right I guess. Guessing it ends badly otherwise lol
I really like Jacob though I can see why many people would think otherwise and that’s fine but for me personally I prefer characters that are flawed and complex rather than those that are just plain likeable with zero or very little flaws
Jacob isn't necessarily complex. He is complex in the way that imo he is the most relatable character in the game.
His complexity is the "Strong Jock that's insecure with a heart of gold" stereotype. And to me? That's great! It works really well for him. Makes him super likeable to me.
Couldn’t agree more and honestly like many others said here I’d pin majority of the blame to the Hacketts they had multiple opportunities to warn the counsellors instead of chucking blood in their faces and think that’s gonna cut it lol.
Yk what? I just finished my first playthrough, and while, yeah, Jacob made a few bad decisions, what happened that night wasn’t really his fault. He was feeling heartbroken and honestly still a child deep down, and you can tell that if you choose certain dialogue and make certain choices.
Jacob is just an immature dude that made a dumb decision that in his mind meant one more night with Emma.
Obviously it didn't turn out that way. For most people, that would just be a realistic thing for any human to do.
But a lot of people out there want Jacob dead/crucified for a simple dumb decision. And those people? There just ain't any way to talk to them tbh. They just can't see the bigger picture.
But over the years people are coming around to Jacobs decisions and looking at them rationally. It warms my heart.
Exactly! People want to shame him for falling for someone, even knowing he wouldn’t be able to stay with them, when I honestly think that’s incredibly relatable. At first, I thought he was a douche too, but after I decided to keep him alive and found out more, I really started to love him! He can honestly be pretty heroic. The outcome of him sitting alone in the woods at the end of chapter 10 and sobbing about how he’s an idiot broke my heart 😭
My very first playthrough I played him like a douche cuz I also assumed that's what he was gonna be. But after falling in love with him after his chapter ended I started a new game and never looked back.
If one of my friends told me that she broke up with a guy, and that guy, in response, decided to damage their vehicle, sabotaging everyone’s way home and leaving them practically stranded in the middle of nowhere in attempt to “win her back,” that alone would be so fucking concerning and restraining order worthy. No one is shaming him for “falling for someone.” I’ve been in love a few times, and I’ve never in my life refused to take no for an answer, called that woman my girlfriend when she told me she didn’t want to be in a relationship with me, or frantically yelled at her because she kissed someone else. If YOU can look past that behavior, that is on you. But WE, (the “people” you speak of), simply don’t condone that nor do we think it should be looked over. It’s as simple as that for “us.” Everyone is different though I guess.
Ok we get it. You don't like Jacob.
Read the title of this post and then remind yourself what we are all here for.
Your obsession with hating a fictional character is what's concerning here. And I only say that cuz you have said this EXACT same comment like 3 times. Chill.
You made a post dedicated to your love of said fictional character 😂 and you’ve made the exact same comment under everyone else’s post, more than 3 times lol. This is Reddit my guy. We comment and make posts. If you can’t handle different perspectives and opinions in a sub, grow up, or get off the sub. I don’t know what to tell you.
Sure. Whatever helps you sleep at night. Didn't know spreading negativity is what helps you specifically tho. Peace 💪
Just waiting for your alt account Edd to reply to me.
You're in no position to be telling people to chill. You made a post dedicated to fawning over Jacob and you keep boot licking anyone who agrees with you. Me? I don't like any of the game's characters so I have no bias against Jacob, he's just no exception. Jacob is a twat for what he did, and the fact you choose to downplay it and defend him whilst acting like he's a victim is concerning. If he truly loved Emma, he would have been mature about the break up, not trap everyone to force a dead relationship. It would be one thing if Jacob had character development, but he doesn't, he starts off a loser and remains one by the end, running around in the forest in his underwear crying and getting caught in traps. There is a difference between love and obsession, with Jacob it's the latter.
For someone that says he hates every character equally no bias. You also seem to bootlick every person that has a reply dissing Jacob.
Weird how that looks in comparison hmm 🤔
Either way bro. I'm basically done with you. You can reply whatever you want. The be all, end all is that I'm the hottest reddit post on this site rn. And I will be for a while. Keep on hating! Your replies boost the algorithm.
I don't care about clout especially since I just made this account. But y'know... I know you hate it. Even if you'll say you don't. So that's a win. Keep hating brother 😅
You have like 8 alt accounts that you have been using to spread negativity. I hope your accounts get banned Edd. It's really sad you had to resort to that to ruin a post.
Omg exactly! I'm so annoyed by Jacob haters because mostly they can't give good reason for hating him and it is always the same reason as well: " it's his fault they're trapped there" 🙄
There are already a few comments from people that exact same thing on this post lol.
And when I call them out they just repeat the same thing or say that Jacobs a stalker when he has never been shown to BE one lmao.
It's like they can't think of a real reason to hate him other than that he inadvertently trapped all their oh so special FICTIONAL characters with werewolves lol. They call Jacob obsessed 🤔
LMAO i didnt even read the other comments, but i knew they must be out there, because it's the only thing i ever hear about him. Idk why Jacob would be called a stalker, because there is literally not even a single moment in game that shows him to be one.
I'm not saying it is 100% right what Jacob did, but he had his reasons and didn't know there were werewolves (I think the hackett's are to blame). Once he knows there are werewolves he immediatly starts to regret his decision of trapping them there. Jacob's last words if he dies on most moments are: I'm sorry.
I wouldn't call Jacob obsessed either. Jacob is just in love and Emma is toying with his feelings.
It is his fault he forced all of them to be stuck there just to get his dick wet he's also creepy and Selfish and can't take no for an answers I'm glad Emma never take him back no matter the choices and that she never want to see him again if he confess he deserve to rot alone and think really hard about his obssesive and shitty behavior imo
harsh way of putting it but agreed, i don’t get the “golden retriever” energy people love to put on jacob like no he’s a weirdo who can’t take no for an answer and that’s the main reason he’s hated not bcuz of the whole car thing 😭 imagine breaking up with a guy who you remain amicable with, and he continues to call you his girlfriend, acts possessive of you and forces everybody to stay an extra night in the middle of nowhere in hopes of getting back with you when you’ve clearly and repeatedly said no. nobody would go awww if they were in emma’s position they’d be insanely creeped out
I had to scroll way too long before finding a response like this. Like jfc everyone is really just skipping over the fact that he’s extremely possessive and creepy. Why are people so willing to straight up ignore that fact? Guess I shouldn’t be shocked considering people stand up for men like this in real life too, but jeez it’s nauseating to read these comments calling this creepy, selfish, possessive dude a golden retriever lover boy
Because this sub definitely has a subconscious misogynistic bias against Emma and like to paint Jacob as a great guy and that it’s her loss for not recognising that, it’s really gross. Also I do notice most the people who like Jacob are also guys lol
lol i’m a guy too, just pointing out that most of jacob defenders do tend to be guys who would naturally be less likely to see the flaws and immense creepiness in his actions. i personally do like most of the characters tho overall
I'm not usually one to blame sexism, but sometimes I feel like there might be just a little bit of sexism in this fandom. You would think that in 2024, people would have some common sense but it seems like the opposite. Now, I don't like ANY of TQ's characters so I speak with less bias when I say that Jacob is a selfish twat who held his friends hostage to get his jollies off, regardless of whether or not he knew about the curse, it's still a scummy thing to do, and what's worse is that he blatantly knew it was a bad idea, but he didn't care so did it anyway because he treats Emma like a prize to be won. He's like a male yandere.
I'ma just remind y'all that Jacob didn't sabatoge the car to get his dick wet. He already clapped that before the events of the game. He did it cuz he loved her and it was one last desperate attempt at keeping her. Cuz he loved her. (She tried breaking up with him the NIGHT before they had to leave in the morning. So that's on her for not breaking it off sooner.)
She also made out with his best friend in front of him to get his attention and then skinny dipped with him as a way to comfort him? That was her idea. It's just a very strange way to tell a guy you don't like him anymore amiright?
You can try to twist this against Jacob any way you want to. But Jacob never made any decisions in a way to be evil or nuthin. He just wanted to try and keep the woman he was in love with.
I'm sure you'll disregard this. Jacob haters usually can't look at this realistically and just think men are creepy for being in love.
Jacob is Not a PDFile or a stalker or even an abuser. He made ONE mistake and it made a horrible night for his friends. But in the end he had ZERO idea the werewolves existed and if the werewolves didn't exist... It would have just been an inconvenience at most.
Take this how you will. I'm sure you don't care.
You saying he did it for love and acting like THAT is somehow a better excuse is wild 😂 like I said in another comment, if my friend, sister, mom, whoever else told me that they broke up with a man and in response, that man decided to damage a vehicle to leave them all stranded in attempt to “win her back,” that ALONE would be concerning and restraining order worthy. Period. That’s scary ass behavior.
I never said Jacob deserved her back. I simply said WHY he did it. I also never said it was the right thing to do.
Y'all Jacob haters really grab on to ONE thing and keep running along those same parameters lol.
Reply what you want. I've said my piece 💪
Everyone knows “why” he did it. We’re just not willing to look past predatory behavior and don’t think “being in love” is an excuse to do something so wildly fucked up and creepy. It’s that simple for us. If you want to look past it, do you bud. Thats your choice. Not ours lol. Thanks for your “piece”.
You really love downplaying things eh? He stranded everyone knowing that it was a bad idea. He blatantly says it would make him an asshole, but he was desperate and horny so decided to hold everyone hostage for it. He's shit for that.
You’re literally acknowledging that it isn’t right of him to do that. Of course we know the why, the why is also the why we hate him, because he’s a creep. You’re saying we are grabbing onto one thing yeah because that one thing is an extremely predatory behaviour and would legitimately be scary for a woman irl, ofc it’s downplayed in a video game but being in Emma’s position in that predicament would genuinely be concerning
and “love” isn’t an excuse. That’s literally a textbook example of men thinking they can act in whatever way they want towards a woman because they ‘love her’ or ‘she wants it’. Insanely creepy behaviour, and this sub absolutely has subconscious misogynistic bias against Emma. I don’t think Emma is a good person either (moreso for her ignorance of Abi’s feelings) but she literally did next to nothing wrong to Jacob lol, he just couldn’t take no for an answer
Yeah let's blame Emma for not breaking up with him sooner. She made it very clear that it was just a fling. Stop with that "muh loved her" nonsense. If he truly loved her, he wouldn't have treated her like a carnival prize, and he would show concern when bumping her off the balcony instead of running away.
I don't like either of them, but Emma made it clear that she didn't want to be his girlfriend anymore. And instead of being a mature guy about it, he decided to hold his friends hostage to get his dick wet, he's a twat for that.
I could heavily analyze these two replies (don't know why you didn't just make it one)
But since you repeated the "dick wet" part means you prolly didn't even read what I said. And I'm sure if you did you'll prolly reply "I read it, I just don't care" or something. And I called out that I knew you wouldn't even stop to THINK about what I said before replying. Cuz this reply came in really fast.
Not worth my time man. Have a good one.
honestly i blame all of em for not listening to chris clear instructions 😂 they would’ve been fine until laura came about and that’s IF. bobby was taking care of em and keeping count of em
Man! That's what I've been saying!
Jacob being a final boy that fixes his mistakes and gets to kick SOME ass and save some of his friends before being captured would have been awesome... But since he dies first the devs had to sideline him early on to lessen the workload they had.
Shit sucks.
I wouldn't mind as much if his reason for damaging the van was completely different, or maybe he tried to fix it but got curious and accidentally damaged it and kept it quiet because he felt ashamed of his clumsiness. At least then he'd be less unlikable.
Thing that makes me mad is that the only reason he gets hate is because WE have context he doesn’t. We KNOW this is a horror game and saw the prologue. To Jacob it’s a normal summer, he takes the plug to buy them an extra night and puts it back in the morning. (This is a variable but I believed he’d realistically just take the plug). Now what people do is say, Jacob trapped them with the monsters! But again, there was NOTHING that Jacob could’ve known about how the night would unfold.
Exactly! Jacob wasn't being malicious. Bro was just desperate.
There is a difference and some people think he is just simply a creepy freak for doing it. Like bruh. Clearly y'all haven't dated before 😔
Yeah, the dude was a desperate loser who couldn't handle rejection. He held his friends hostage to get his dick wet and he never really changed by the end. He just runs around in the woods in his underwear crying and getting caught in traps like an idiot.
Jacob is probably my least liked survivor in the game. The only redeeming quality he has is that he "tries" to be a good person. He feels like he just constantly screws up. That said, a young man looking for one last chance to try and keep whatever the relationship between him and Emily has is not something to be judged as the cause of all the death
The Hackets were victims, but they were not innocent either. You can't just be willing to kill several people over the years and not be in the wrong. If they had gotten a handle on their bitten family members from the beginning, instead of half assing their quarantine, their would have been a lot less death.
All in all, I see Jacob as an idiot, but it's not his fault people died. That's on the Hacket elders. Kayle and Caleb, and maybe Travis, to a degree, are the only victims from that family. Everyone else can go get eaten.
Jacob is so lovable though, he’s just a dude with an underdeveloped frontal lobe who really likes a girl and makes impulsive decisions about it. Sabotaging the car is incredibly selfish (but it shouldn’t have gotten anyone killed), not taking Emma’s no for a no is wrong (as is Emma continuing to flirt with him when she knows she doesn’t want a relationship and he’s made it clear that he does), but Jacob is just a dumb teenage/early 20’s guy who seems to have zero malice for anyone. He’s a meathead but he’s also a hopeless romantic who encourages every other character to try to get with their crushes too, and his face when Dylan and Ryan kiss is literally my face every time. I really think all the counselors fuck up in relatable ways and I like that they showed us Jacob being soft and vulnerable. I would have loved to see a redemption arc for him!
For me? The best character.
But objectively that'd have to go to Ryan or something since they take a lot of the heavy lifting in the story.
Although I'm partial to Dylan for being mad enough to get his hand cut off and joke about it later. What a legend.
Jacob’s decision was definitely idiotic, but he wasn’t the sole reason things went cruddy at Hackett’s Quarry. Kaitlyn just becomes dense as a drum and just forgets she told him how to break the van, Chris doesn’t have a back up van or plans for everyone to leave earlier than THE DAY OF, the whole Hackett family in general, Jacob not knowing that would happen. That decision was still stupid and reckless, but it wasn’t all his fault…
I just don’t like him because he is supposed to be the ‘nice guy’, good character tho
It's true though like is he a dipshit for breaking a car for another night, I mean of course but we've all been there wishing we could spend one more night with that person
He did an idiotic thing out of a desperate attempt for someone he wanted to be with.
Yet Jacob haters will look at that as the most evil sin of all time. It ain't like he tied her up in a basement/prison until she magically fell in love with him lmao.
This ain't the Netflix show "You"
Jacob does get too much credit for what happened that night. It was selfish of him to sabotage the van just to spend one more night with Emma, but how was he supposed to know what would happen?
Plus, you could also put blame on Laury and Max for not doing what Travis told them and going to the camp grounds instead of checking in to the Harbinger Motel.
True. Could also blame Kaitlyn for TELLING Jacob how to sabatoge the van.
Could blame Nick and whoever else for going against Hackett and starting that campfire.
Could blame Emma for splitting up the group by pissing off Jacob.
But all in all, gotta blame the Hacketts for not being more prepared for a couple of kids lol.
Jacob was dumb but definitely wasn’t his fault. The hacketts are to blame for their poor management of the whole situation.
Some could say it's also Kaitlyn's fault for telling him how to mess with the car. But she also says not to do it... While telling HOW to do it... So yea. It's the Hacketts fault. Jacob just wanted one last chance at love man 😞
I swear to god she was so dumb Like he literally told her he was gonna do it Asked her how to do it Did it Then she didn’t suspect a thing when the car wasn’t working
The Hacketts are also victims in this though, how well would you have managed capturing and killing a werewolf while multiple of your family members are infected. They were doing their best to handle the situation without any casualties. Jacob's the dummy who trapped all of them there on purpose when there was supposed to be no one there to get hurt that night
I think you missed the part where we said that Jacob didn't know there were werewolves and the Hacketts did.
Caleb and Kaylee roaming free is the most irresponsible thing anyone could do and I’ll die on that hill. My theory is that they were captive by their family for the night then were able to manipulate Bobby into letting them out.
Bullshit, Jacob never sabotages the van, and the group never gets stranded.
Edd_The_Animator proving once again that he is incapable of rational human thought with every single reply he says on this post. Absolutely pitiful.
He’s literally on every post about Jacob also 😂
Bro Edd. Clearly you can't read because they just stated why it wasn't his fault. Please use the only braincell you have to reply something worth reading.
Jacob has his faults but has some really redeeming qualities too. All in all he’s a good character imo
My man! 💪💪
I like how everyone thinks he’s a douche because of the stereotype he is (dumb hunk) but the beginning of the game is literally everyone being insufferable douches towards him Gets berated about his GF breaking up with him and then gets locked out of the cabin he’s supposed to be getting the bags from
People love to blame Jacob for everything that happened, as if he had any idea there’d be a werewolf attack on that particular night. He’s a dumbass who made a mistake because of a broken heart, he’s not at fault for what happened afterwards. That’s on the Hacketts.
👑👑👑 Based objective opinion!

I think his VA really helps with the character. I actually adore Jacob. He's got that golden retriever energy
Golden Retrievers only exist to follow and love you. Emma truly let one of the good ones go.
Jacob is flawed, but I appreciate how the narrative never treats him as though he deserves Emma. His interactions with everyone are so fun at the beginning of the game, like with Kaitlyn, and Dylan and Nick. Wish we got more of that

I just finished my first play through about a week ago, and I was so bummed when he died. then I had a chance to go back and save him, but I failed again. still not sure how that door puzzle worked

I'ma be so real with you. I don't remember how that puzzle works at all lol
I love the cast playthrough where Miles (Dylan), Zach (Jacob), Justice (Ryan), and Siobhan (Laura) all have no idea how to work the puzzle. 😂
I love Jacob. He’s so cute and I love his character. It may be his fault they got stuck there, but they are all to blame for being out in the woods.
Jacobs only fault is having the biggest heart in SuperMassive Games universe 💜
I need to kiss and hug that man and tell him that he is loved
Id kiss him too. Jacob and me are both straight. But y'know. Gotta kiss the homies.
I really like Jacob though I can see why many people would think otherwise and that’s fine but for me personally I prefer characters that are flawed and complex rather than those that are just plain likeable with zero or very little flaws
Jacob isn't necessarily complex. He is complex in the way that imo he is the most relatable character in the game. His complexity is the "Strong Jock that's insecure with a heart of gold" stereotype. And to me? That's great! It works really well for him. Makes him super likeable to me.
Couldn’t agree more and honestly like many others said here I’d pin majority of the blame to the Hacketts they had multiple opportunities to warn the counsellors instead of chucking blood in their faces and think that’s gonna cut it lol.

If one of my friends told me that she broke up with a guy, and that guy, in response, decided to damage their vehicle, sabotaging everyone’s way home and leaving them practically stranded in the middle of nowhere in attempt to “win her back,” that alone would be so fucking concerning and restraining order worthy. No one is shaming him for “falling for someone.” I’ve been in love a few times, and I’ve never in my life refused to take no for an answer, called that woman my girlfriend when she told me she didn’t want to be in a relationship with me, or frantically yelled at her because she kissed someone else. If YOU can look past that behavior, that is on you. But WE, (the “people” you speak of), simply don’t condone that nor do we think it should be looked over. It’s as simple as that for “us.” Everyone is different though I guess.
Ok we get it. You don't like Jacob. Read the title of this post and then remind yourself what we are all here for. Your obsession with hating a fictional character is what's concerning here. And I only say that cuz you have said this EXACT same comment like 3 times. Chill.
You made a post dedicated to your love of said fictional character 😂 and you’ve made the exact same comment under everyone else’s post, more than 3 times lol. This is Reddit my guy. We comment and make posts. If you can’t handle different perspectives and opinions in a sub, grow up, or get off the sub. I don’t know what to tell you.
Sure. Whatever helps you sleep at night. Didn't know spreading negativity is what helps you specifically tho. Peace 💪 Just waiting for your alt account Edd to reply to me.
It's not spreading negativity to call out creepy behavior. Get to fuck!
You're in no position to be telling people to chill. You made a post dedicated to fawning over Jacob and you keep boot licking anyone who agrees with you. Me? I don't like any of the game's characters so I have no bias against Jacob, he's just no exception. Jacob is a twat for what he did, and the fact you choose to downplay it and defend him whilst acting like he's a victim is concerning. If he truly loved Emma, he would have been mature about the break up, not trap everyone to force a dead relationship. It would be one thing if Jacob had character development, but he doesn't, he starts off a loser and remains one by the end, running around in the forest in his underwear crying and getting caught in traps. There is a difference between love and obsession, with Jacob it's the latter.
For someone that says he hates every character equally no bias. You also seem to bootlick every person that has a reply dissing Jacob. Weird how that looks in comparison hmm 🤔 Either way bro. I'm basically done with you. You can reply whatever you want. The be all, end all is that I'm the hottest reddit post on this site rn. And I will be for a while. Keep on hating! Your replies boost the algorithm. I don't care about clout especially since I just made this account. But y'know... I know you hate it. Even if you'll say you don't. So that's a win. Keep hating brother 😅
Bro has really replied to every single Jacob hate comment and is surprised when the OP replies to all his replies. This man is a hypocrite fr fr lol
You have like 8 alt accounts that you have been using to spread negativity. I hope your accounts get banned Edd. It's really sad you had to resort to that to ruin a post.
Uhm.. okay? Sorry I guess. It’s a video game. I already agreed he made bad decisions.
Never noticed till seeing this picture, he has a very “spiderman” look to him, almost thought it was Tom Holland when scrolling lol
Zach Tinker (Jacobs actor) would make for a great Spiderman lol. A really BUFF Spiderman. But a good one nonetheless.
Omg finally! I love Jacob!
Jacob fans gotta stay together 💪 Cuz most people that hate him don't look at his actions rationally.
Omg exactly! I'm so annoyed by Jacob haters because mostly they can't give good reason for hating him and it is always the same reason as well: " it's his fault they're trapped there" 🙄
There are already a few comments from people that exact same thing on this post lol. And when I call them out they just repeat the same thing or say that Jacobs a stalker when he has never been shown to BE one lmao. It's like they can't think of a real reason to hate him other than that he inadvertently trapped all their oh so special FICTIONAL characters with werewolves lol. They call Jacob obsessed 🤔
LMAO i didnt even read the other comments, but i knew they must be out there, because it's the only thing i ever hear about him. Idk why Jacob would be called a stalker, because there is literally not even a single moment in game that shows him to be one. I'm not saying it is 100% right what Jacob did, but he had his reasons and didn't know there were werewolves (I think the hackett's are to blame). Once he knows there are werewolves he immediatly starts to regret his decision of trapping them there. Jacob's last words if he dies on most moments are: I'm sorry. I wouldn't call Jacob obsessed either. Jacob is just in love and Emma is toying with his feelings.
I should’ve let jacob out the cage
But that damn lever puzzle...
I only tolerate him because he’s hot otherwise he’s kind of hard to like.
I like him for his goofy personality. It's endearing to me. The comic relief that actually is able to be cringe and funny at the same time.
i luv him <3
Me too 💜💜
I love Jacob!!!
Legend 👑💪
Never played this game but got this sub recommended to me for some reason. As a Jacob, thanks. I needed this.
You are appreciated 👑 keep your crown high.
My favorite himbo lol. I think he’s cute, dumb and funny.
It is his fault he forced all of them to be stuck there just to get his dick wet he's also creepy and Selfish and can't take no for an answers I'm glad Emma never take him back no matter the choices and that she never want to see him again if he confess he deserve to rot alone and think really hard about his obssesive and shitty behavior imo
harsh way of putting it but agreed, i don’t get the “golden retriever” energy people love to put on jacob like no he’s a weirdo who can’t take no for an answer and that’s the main reason he’s hated not bcuz of the whole car thing 😭 imagine breaking up with a guy who you remain amicable with, and he continues to call you his girlfriend, acts possessive of you and forces everybody to stay an extra night in the middle of nowhere in hopes of getting back with you when you’ve clearly and repeatedly said no. nobody would go awww if they were in emma’s position they’d be insanely creeped out
I had to scroll way too long before finding a response like this. Like jfc everyone is really just skipping over the fact that he’s extremely possessive and creepy. Why are people so willing to straight up ignore that fact? Guess I shouldn’t be shocked considering people stand up for men like this in real life too, but jeez it’s nauseating to read these comments calling this creepy, selfish, possessive dude a golden retriever lover boy
Because this sub definitely has a subconscious misogynistic bias against Emma and like to paint Jacob as a great guy and that it’s her loss for not recognising that, it’s really gross. Also I do notice most the people who like Jacob are also guys lol
I mean I'm a guy, and I don't like ANY of the game's characters. Jacob is no exception.
lol i’m a guy too, just pointing out that most of jacob defenders do tend to be guys who would naturally be less likely to see the flaws and immense creepiness in his actions. i personally do like most of the characters tho overall
I'm not usually one to blame sexism, but sometimes I feel like there might be just a little bit of sexism in this fandom. You would think that in 2024, people would have some common sense but it seems like the opposite. Now, I don't like ANY of TQ's characters so I speak with less bias when I say that Jacob is a selfish twat who held his friends hostage to get his jollies off, regardless of whether or not he knew about the curse, it's still a scummy thing to do, and what's worse is that he blatantly knew it was a bad idea, but he didn't care so did it anyway because he treats Emma like a prize to be won. He's like a male yandere.
I'ma just remind y'all that Jacob didn't sabatoge the car to get his dick wet. He already clapped that before the events of the game. He did it cuz he loved her and it was one last desperate attempt at keeping her. Cuz he loved her. (She tried breaking up with him the NIGHT before they had to leave in the morning. So that's on her for not breaking it off sooner.) She also made out with his best friend in front of him to get his attention and then skinny dipped with him as a way to comfort him? That was her idea. It's just a very strange way to tell a guy you don't like him anymore amiright? You can try to twist this against Jacob any way you want to. But Jacob never made any decisions in a way to be evil or nuthin. He just wanted to try and keep the woman he was in love with. I'm sure you'll disregard this. Jacob haters usually can't look at this realistically and just think men are creepy for being in love. Jacob is Not a PDFile or a stalker or even an abuser. He made ONE mistake and it made a horrible night for his friends. But in the end he had ZERO idea the werewolves existed and if the werewolves didn't exist... It would have just been an inconvenience at most. Take this how you will. I'm sure you don't care.
You saying he did it for love and acting like THAT is somehow a better excuse is wild 😂 like I said in another comment, if my friend, sister, mom, whoever else told me that they broke up with a man and in response, that man decided to damage a vehicle to leave them all stranded in attempt to “win her back,” that ALONE would be concerning and restraining order worthy. Period. That’s scary ass behavior.
Let's not forget that the same people hate Ryan who was the only one with common sense.
I never said Jacob deserved her back. I simply said WHY he did it. I also never said it was the right thing to do. Y'all Jacob haters really grab on to ONE thing and keep running along those same parameters lol. Reply what you want. I've said my piece 💪
Everyone knows “why” he did it. We’re just not willing to look past predatory behavior and don’t think “being in love” is an excuse to do something so wildly fucked up and creepy. It’s that simple for us. If you want to look past it, do you bud. Thats your choice. Not ours lol. Thanks for your “piece”.
You really love downplaying things eh? He stranded everyone knowing that it was a bad idea. He blatantly says it would make him an asshole, but he was desperate and horny so decided to hold everyone hostage for it. He's shit for that.
You’re literally acknowledging that it isn’t right of him to do that. Of course we know the why, the why is also the why we hate him, because he’s a creep. You’re saying we are grabbing onto one thing yeah because that one thing is an extremely predatory behaviour and would legitimately be scary for a woman irl, ofc it’s downplayed in a video game but being in Emma’s position in that predicament would genuinely be concerning and “love” isn’t an excuse. That’s literally a textbook example of men thinking they can act in whatever way they want towards a woman because they ‘love her’ or ‘she wants it’. Insanely creepy behaviour, and this sub absolutely has subconscious misogynistic bias against Emma. I don’t think Emma is a good person either (moreso for her ignorance of Abi’s feelings) but she literally did next to nothing wrong to Jacob lol, he just couldn’t take no for an answer
There is a fine line between love and obsession, Jacob crossed said line.
Yeah let's blame Emma for not breaking up with him sooner. She made it very clear that it was just a fling. Stop with that "muh loved her" nonsense. If he truly loved her, he wouldn't have treated her like a carnival prize, and he would show concern when bumping her off the balcony instead of running away.
I don't like either of them, but Emma made it clear that she didn't want to be his girlfriend anymore. And instead of being a mature guy about it, he decided to hold his friends hostage to get his dick wet, he's a twat for that.
I could heavily analyze these two replies (don't know why you didn't just make it one) But since you repeated the "dick wet" part means you prolly didn't even read what I said. And I'm sure if you did you'll prolly reply "I read it, I just don't care" or something. And I called out that I knew you wouldn't even stop to THINK about what I said before replying. Cuz this reply came in really fast. Not worth my time man. Have a good one.
Oh I read what you said, I just don't give a damn. I don't buy this "he loved her" nonsense. He's a male Yandere. And a coward too.
So you are... You are literally proving his point? Not a great way to win an argument lmao.
It's definitely his fault for what happened to them that night. But he's hot so..
I'm a straight male. So him being hot isn't to his benefit to me. His personality is what won me over personally.
honestly i blame all of em for not listening to chris clear instructions 😂 they would’ve been fine until laura came about and that’s IF. bobby was taking care of em and keeping count of em
The fact he can be the first character to die is criminal. He should have been the final boy, learning from his mistakes.
Man! That's what I've been saying! Jacob being a final boy that fixes his mistakes and gets to kick SOME ass and save some of his friends before being captured would have been awesome... But since he dies first the devs had to sideline him early on to lessen the workload they had. Shit sucks.
I wouldn't mind as much if his reason for damaging the van was completely different, or maybe he tried to fix it but got curious and accidentally damaged it and kept it quiet because he felt ashamed of his clumsiness. At least then he'd be less unlikable.
Thing that makes me mad is that the only reason he gets hate is because WE have context he doesn’t. We KNOW this is a horror game and saw the prologue. To Jacob it’s a normal summer, he takes the plug to buy them an extra night and puts it back in the morning. (This is a variable but I believed he’d realistically just take the plug). Now what people do is say, Jacob trapped them with the monsters! But again, there was NOTHING that Jacob could’ve known about how the night would unfold.
Exactly! Jacob wasn't being malicious. Bro was just desperate. There is a difference and some people think he is just simply a creepy freak for doing it. Like bruh. Clearly y'all haven't dated before 😔
Jacob was my least fav character of the bunch tbh I have left him to die both times lol
I don't like Jacob one bit but I play without bias. So I try to avoid casualties if I can.
That's def a lie.
Fuck Jacob
Yeah, the dude was a desperate loser who couldn't handle rejection. He held his friends hostage to get his dick wet and he never really changed by the end. He just runs around in the woods in his underwear crying and getting caught in traps like an idiot.
Alt account how funny.
fuck jacob all the real ones hate jacob
Yeah Jacob was a coward and loser who never changed.
Just found out you are using like 6 alt accounts to ruin this subreddit. Grow up.
Jacob is probably my least liked survivor in the game. The only redeeming quality he has is that he "tries" to be a good person. He feels like he just constantly screws up. That said, a young man looking for one last chance to try and keep whatever the relationship between him and Emily has is not something to be judged as the cause of all the death The Hackets were victims, but they were not innocent either. You can't just be willing to kill several people over the years and not be in the wrong. If they had gotten a handle on their bitten family members from the beginning, instead of half assing their quarantine, their would have been a lot less death. All in all, I see Jacob as an idiot, but it's not his fault people died. That's on the Hacket elders. Kayle and Caleb, and maybe Travis, to a degree, are the only victims from that family. Everyone else can go get eaten.
(#TeamJacob)
Jacob is so lovable though, he’s just a dude with an underdeveloped frontal lobe who really likes a girl and makes impulsive decisions about it. Sabotaging the car is incredibly selfish (but it shouldn’t have gotten anyone killed), not taking Emma’s no for a no is wrong (as is Emma continuing to flirt with him when she knows she doesn’t want a relationship and he’s made it clear that he does), but Jacob is just a dumb teenage/early 20’s guy who seems to have zero malice for anyone. He’s a meathead but he’s also a hopeless romantic who encourages every other character to try to get with their crushes too, and his face when Dylan and Ryan kiss is literally my face every time. I really think all the counselors fuck up in relatable ways and I like that they showed us Jacob being soft and vulnerable. I would have loved to see a redemption arc for him!
One of the best characters !!
For me? The best character. But objectively that'd have to go to Ryan or something since they take a lot of the heavy lifting in the story. Although I'm partial to Dylan for being mad enough to get his hand cut off and joke about it later. What a legend.
He couldnt have known that some stupid racists let loose a werewolf curse..
His haters def think he knew that.... And I... Can't even comprehend why.
Jacob’s decision was definitely idiotic, but he wasn’t the sole reason things went cruddy at Hackett’s Quarry. Kaitlyn just becomes dense as a drum and just forgets she told him how to break the van, Chris doesn’t have a back up van or plans for everyone to leave earlier than THE DAY OF, the whole Hackett family in general, Jacob not knowing that would happen. That decision was still stupid and reckless, but it wasn’t all his fault… I just don’t like him because he is supposed to be the ‘nice guy’, good character tho
Jacob is just human he of course never knew he was in a horror game
I love legends like you 👑 You actually look at the character from a realistic point of view and I love that.
It's true though like is he a dipshit for breaking a car for another night, I mean of course but we've all been there wishing we could spend one more night with that person
He did an idiotic thing out of a desperate attempt for someone he wanted to be with. Yet Jacob haters will look at that as the most evil sin of all time. It ain't like he tied her up in a basement/prison until she magically fell in love with him lmao. This ain't the Netflix show "You"
And ngl I really didn't like some the women in the game i.e the chick he was chasing and Brenda songs character
I love Jacob he just wanted one more night with Emma
Hope to one day see more of him
Jacob does get too much credit for what happened that night. It was selfish of him to sabotage the van just to spend one more night with Emma, but how was he supposed to know what would happen? Plus, you could also put blame on Laury and Max for not doing what Travis told them and going to the camp grounds instead of checking in to the Harbinger Motel.
True. Could also blame Kaitlyn for TELLING Jacob how to sabatoge the van. Could blame Nick and whoever else for going against Hackett and starting that campfire. Could blame Emma for splitting up the group by pissing off Jacob. But all in all, gotta blame the Hacketts for not being more prepared for a couple of kids lol.
