Explain this crap, this is stupid.
Shout-outs to games that let you increase your jump power and only change your fall damage immunity to at most null a standing jump onto a surface that was at the same altitude as your initial position.
I always thought fall-damage happening in large steps was really stupid too. Why not have a more gradual damage increase?

Movement penalties always seemed like the best way to do it.
>little fall no movement penalties
>medium fall, slowed movement
>large fall, lose complete control while dust-off animation plays
>>343593025
>Spawn into map
>Leg breaks from fall damage
7 days to die is fun.
>>343593394
Talking about steps and slopes, this shit is even worse.
>>343593752
This is ok
>what is acceleration

>>343593025
I don't even know what you're trying to say.
>>343594138
What game does that? I feel most devs understand that some players will sprint down slopes.
>>343594138
Are you playing Spelunker or something? What the fuck.

no idea what you're talking about, but it made me remember that bullshit
>>343594669
Oh god, I fell down an elevator shaft in multiplayer and broke my legs so I couldn't jump out. I had a shotgun though so killed people that fell down until I ran out of bullets
It's actually more realistic that way, although less fun.
Think of it this way.
Your bones have a finite amount of force they can withstand before they break.
So when you land from a high jump, your legs either break, or they dont
>>343594426
I think it happens in Gamebyro games? Which begs the question of "Why are athletics and acrobatics different skills?"
>>343594760
You don't even slam into the ground, you land standing upright and then you tip over like a bicycle.
>>343593025
Explain what you would rather this be? this makes sense because the further you fall, the more force on your limbs and at a point force makes bones break.
>>343594138
>try to jump at the edge of a cliff
>it's a slight slope at the end, so you're technically already falling

Death and suffering.

Some games let you jump a couple frames after you leave a platform. A sort of grace period. I think that's ok. Some games take it further.
The worst is games with double jumping that don't let you double jump if you've simply fallen off a platform, and games that only let you double jump immediately after your first jump.
In shadow warrior 13' if you dash on some stairs you die at the bottom. It's retarded.
>>343594426
Happens all the time for me in The Long Dark, I constantly get sprained ankles and shit from running down hills.

You can get fucked real hard in Miasmata if you are out of breath and try to run down a boulder
>>343594760
Fuck that pissed me off so hard, guy has robot legs, I've dropped 15 feet before and rolled out with nothing more than a sore knee.
Team Fortress 2 was based off player speed which was awesome. You could induce fall damage on someone jumping in place by hitting them in the head with a rocket and forcing them downwards.
>>343594669
Fun fact: one of the emails says that if that happens to an UNATCO agent, he should kill himself.
>>343593025
>MUH REALISM
also have you ever heard the saying "the hay that broke the horses back"?
>>343594138
do this in real life and get back to me
>>343598553
I run down gradual inclines all the time and this has never happened to me
(obviously)
>>343594138
This happens in Oblivion if you fortify your speed too much. You have to be constantly spamming healing as you run through the country or else you'll die from chip damage.
>>343599147
You've run full speed at a staircase and didn't fall?
Are you some kind of lizard?

>>343593025
whats your guy's opinion on fall damage in sidescrollers, can it be done right?
>>343593025
that's how it works in real life
>>343600335
in real life if you get shot in the leg you probably wont be able to use that leg anymore or if you get shot in the arm you wont be able to hold your gun steady whatsoever, not that fun isnt it
>>343600335
video games don't have to cater to reality's rules in any way, shape, or form
Depends on the game, I guess. You want very little fall damage on a game with lots of verticality and an emphasis on exploration. It was pretty liberating in XBX jumping off huge cliffs. Deus Ex HR had augment that negated fall damage for a small investment. I think it's unlocked from the beginning in the sequel. Dishonored let you teleport to the ground and had an upgrade that lowered fall damage regardless.
But fall damage does have a purpose, to punish players for fucking up jumps and adding a level of risk to games with platforming elements.
>>343600638
But they also don't NOT have to
>>343600518
Video games shouldn't be fun. They should be an immersive alternative to real life. You get to pick different roles and stories you are in.
>>343593025
when you're not yet sure if there's fall damage in a game, and you jump off a cliff and live.
that shit right there, mane
>>343594426
Source games do it if it's steep enough
>>343593025
I hate in dark souls that you need to stand still for 5 seconds before your last jump is nullified
tired of dropping down to a survivalable distance, but because i was only standing on it for 1 second the next drop counts as if i dropped from the first fall
>>343601823
>Video games shouldn't be fun
i forgot where i was honestly, my bad for using the f word all games should be boring simulations of life any sense of fiction is unnaceptable if a game doesnt accurately simulate my depression its a 0/10 game

Vice City had some kind of weird glitch where you could take damage if you ran off a curb. Killed me a couple times when I had low health.
>>343593752
Mad max does something like that. Can't really think of any others. Of course if you fall off a building you still die
Imagine a game that killed you after falling an arbitrary distance, but did no damage to you at any height below it
>>343593025
>you can increase your ability to jump and reduce fall damage through a variety of ways
>you can make long jumps an effective traveling method, and there are no invisible walls in the game
>sequels get rid of this altogether

Shadow Warrior's 2013 reboot
I believe they even poked fun at that by putting a "wet floor" sign near one of the staircases
>>343602163
Lack of v-sync. Same thing happened to me in GTA 3 when trying to leave the first safe house
