When Games Don't Have a Jump Button

[@pingu9656]

No jump when navigating, but jump several floors high in unskippable cutscenes.

[@CheapCreep]

Did you just rotoscope a sock-puppet?

[@JamesSarin]

It would keep you out... That got me. That line was pure gold.

[@Naraku-no-Hana-WE]

The moment he realizes the knee-high wall wasn't built to keep monsters out or livestock in, but to keep him from going to unfinished parts of the map. If only the npcs learned to build them around their homes to keep adventurers from looting them.

[@ForeverLaxx]

The worst part is that these games often exclude jumping in order to make environment design easier. They don't have to worry about the player going places they "aren't supposed to" and can easily funnel you into the direction they want, even if they fill the world with objects you could easily jump/climb over if you were physically in the world.

[@randalthor20001]

The embarrassment and frustration of not being able to jump was hilarious spot on. I loved the snake and the fact that it was clearly just a sock puppet. There is a certain charm to your production style. A wholesome kind of cheese. It was fun seeing the old man show zero empathy for your character "dying" and just pure glee at getting his venom ointment for free. This was a well written and executed story.

[@idontdovarioustasks]

Didn't he wake up at the end

[@randalthor20001]

@@idontdovarioustasks Yes he did. Which is why I wrote dying with quotes around it. We saw him wake up. But the old man didn't. From his perspective, he died inside the snake and he got snake venom for free.

[@Lawrence_Talbot]

Right? His are the only sponsors I watch because they are so enjoyable haha. Although I’m not sold on the product, but am I sold on getting swallowed by snake. Sounds like a great nap

[@r3dp9]

And for a good product, too. I don't think it's the same brand but I have one that's a similar design. Far more comfortable than a normal blindfold. Having no pressure on the eyelid itself is really nice.

[@Naraku-no-Hana-WE]

I was half expecting him to use a combat skill that "leaps" at the target, but only works in combat against a viable target. But then we wouldn't have that seamless ad transition.

For some reason google translate gave the option to translate your comment into English and the translation is "My suffering is terrible"

[@sandrosliske]

[@LucasCarter2]

Alternatively, when a game doesn't let you jump outside of combat but in combat you can basically fly around. IE FF7 Remake and Rebirth where the skies are yours in combat but outside of combat a small barrier hinders you.

[@MatthewMcCleskey]

Rebirth has something *close* to a jump button but nothing like combat!

[@MrSandy301]

Big 👍🏼 for sock puppet basilisk!

[@BlazeBuds]

I hate playing games with no jump, its awkward and weird

[@felixlps1]

To be fair how often do you jump in RL. Sure, as a kid all the time, but now that I'm older basically never.

[@ninjafruitchilled]

​@@felixlps1 you'd probably jump more if you were an adventurer.

[@Your-Least-Favorite-Stranger]

​@@felixlps1How often do you leave your town to start a worthwhile adventure while meeting interesting people? Probably 0, so by your logic there should also be no story. I play games for fun and escapism, not boring realism - part of my escapism and joy involves the opportunity to run and jump wherever I want without consequence.

[@BlazeBuds]

The weirdest one for me was GOW 4. I didn't even know until this post that you could jump in the previous ones, I mean how often do you roll around on rocks? Lol silly point

[@ladyriethegoldendelmo5441]

@@felixlps1 yea but its kinda not realistic whatsoever to not jump... I mean if u being an adventure and u see a small wall. u going to jump...

[@Microsoft-Excel-2010]

Imagine you could only jump when performing some attack movesets.

[@leyrua]

Funny thing is, in DS2 I used to use one of the heavy weapon power attacks to get over small gaps. It was slightly more reliable than attempting to jump.

[@Granite165]

[@fakeigniz13]

Should've asked the old man to jump the wall, thus unlocking the ability for yourself, or laugh as he fails. Whichever.

[@YeahTheDuckweed]

dude this freaked me the fuck out as a kid when i first played zelda. i was PANICING looking for a button that made me jump. simply not being able to jump while i was just walking around felt SO ARRESTING

[@gamingdragon276]

That manta sleep Segway got me at the end. Well played 😂😂

[@Eatbutternow]

If I’m controlling a character and can’t spam the jump button constantly I don’t want to play the game. I don’t walk or run a anywhere, i only jump. Idk why but I’ve been this way since I was a kid in the 90’s.

[@anonymus4683]

I expected the player to have a jumping attack because in some game you can't jump, but for some reason you can do attack that make the character jump x)

[@darkblur101]

I mean to be fair, I can’t remember the last time I had to jump. Don’t really need to jump in my day to day life

[@Failedlegend]

1:44 It's a sock puppet, i love it! :D

[@L.Pondera]

"Yeah but when was th last time you jumped in real life?" Whenever I want, I can do it now even. Ankle high obtrusions can be stepped over or jumped over because I dont have a rigid limited walk cycle with hitboxes and collisions to balance. Its almost like I can compensate for this stuff in real life just by stepping higher or wider, but have only one button to do it in a video game. And if you don't have that option, like you do in real life, you get kinda mad about tiny paths that don't work because its a single pixel too high. If its a game about exploration, or a game that demands navagating terrain of any sort, you HAVE to be able to jump or at least climb obstacles.

[@tomjabo9872]

"Are you paying?" "Reluctantly!" Lol

I was so ready for a battle QTE that made him jump dodge or something. Him just getting eaten was good though.
