u wot m8
I love that shit. I remember that in Twilight Princess you can go up a really high mountain and see a small lake all the way down there and just jump. More games should have long fucking falls that lead into magic physics bending water IMO

>>319426165
depends how you fall it can kill you
also from how high too
i'm gonna assume op talks about GTA/just cause since its the only games i can think where you can jump from a considerable high zone

Water acts pretty much as though it was solid if you impact with high enough velocity
It's possible to survive very high falls (high enough to reach terminal velocity), but that requires proper technique (slowing down your fall and straightening out feet first just before the impact) and is likely to injure you anyway. People tend to die when falling/jumping from heights like the Golden Gate Bridge that is a very common suicide spot (if not "instantly", from internal bleeding or being too injured to do anything but to drown or die from hypothermia soon after).

You can die of height fall in the water in Just Cause 2 though

Yeah, according to >>319429769 the position seems to affect chances of survival much more than any other factor
Height of fall affects the odds of survival in terms of velocity. However, with sufficiently high falls you'd reach terminal velocity (drag equals gravity and there won't be further acceleration) and that depends a lot on the position. According to http://hypertextbook.com/facts/JianHuang.shtml standard diving position with outstretched arms and legs has terminal velocity of about 50m/s while skydivers really trying to go fast can get close to 300m/s.
If you managed to keep your speed at that 50m/s and then straighten out at the last moment, any height of fall would technically be survivable. Hitting the water in any other position or much faster than that regardless of position would make you go splat.
