DC Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Do you like “unrealistic” jump mechanics in games, like double jump, quad jump, jumps that go really far, etc.? If so, what games do you think have the most enjoyable unrealistic jump mechanics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I don't mind these things in games because real jumping is, let's race it, a bit boring. Having stuff like double jumps and mid-air manoeuvres makes things mor fun, dynamic and interesting. There are expectations, such like in games like Mirror's Edge that are meant to simulate some form of real life acrobatics (in the case of that game, parkour), but other than that it makes things more interesting and fun.

Demon_skeith Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I don't mind them so long as it feels good in the video game, an example of a bad one is Megaman series and a good one is like Sly cooper series jumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I have no idea why people feel the need to jump so much. In some games it doesn't even serve a purpose but it's there anyway. Smite is a perfect example: jumping is completely useless but they added it because people complained about it. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I don't mind having unrealistic jumping mechanics as long as it works well in the game, and it makes sense to have them in the game. One example I can think of that recently brought unrealistic jumping to the game was Fortnite. With them now releasing their zero-build mode, we needed ways to be able to get around the map that otherwise would need building and the new jumping mechanics that they have in game now works really well and really does help you get around the map without the need to build.

killamch89 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 It depends on the gaming universe for me. In unrealistic/fantasy ones like DMC/Skyrim/Witcher, it's perfectly acceptable. In games like GTA/RDR where it's more on the realistic side, it'll feel completely out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Video games are often unrealistic in it's entirety, I am a fan of fighter games as well like mortal Kombat and street fighter, the stunts or fighting style displayed by the characters in Those games are usually unrealistic like the insane backflip, air twist and other styles. Video games is a shift from reality so I don't expect their jumps to be real in any way as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
