Double jump makes absolute zero sense

[julia crawford]

What are you jumping on? Hopes and dreams? Yesterday's dinner?? No there is nothing there!! I don't know who thought of this.

 

[Freshmaker]

Makes more sense than doors you need 5 missiles to open.

Best addon in every metroidvania.

 

[Slatsunus]

Haha video game go jumpjump

 

[Vimto]

No one cares, if it elevates gameplay, Im for it 👍🏼

 

[tapedeck]

Welcome to.....videogames?

Fun Police Officer Kowalski is that you

 

[DiipuSurotu]

It's farts

 

[Gambit]

Maybe but it's in the top 3 most satisfying maneuvers in all of video games

You're jumping on air! Or weird red platforms

I see what you did there

 

[IamPeacock]

You know what even makes less sense?
TRIPLE jump!

Yoshi's Island is the only game where that makes some sort of sense (within the cartoony logic of the game)

 

[jotun?]

Hopes and dreams?

Is that not enough?

 

[LowParry]

Explain to me a super jump then, OP. Go on. Low key that one too.

At least Devil May Cry makes some sense

 

[Dink]

what about hammerspace?
I think certain games like Metroid justify the mechanic.

Extra lives makes sense, it's the god of time giving you a second chance (or more)

 

[Deleted member 42484]

It makes sense for like sci-fi mech suits.

Also the two kings of jumping, Mario and the Kongs, don't rely on double jumping.

 

[Saladin]

Breaking news: Its a video game :D

I dont like it in platformers. It seems like a patch for bad level design in those games. I dont mind it in metroidvanias as it is used as progression.

 

[Speevy]

Why can't I just stab everyone in the neck like Ellie from The Last of Us Part 2

 

[eXistor]

It makes games more fun to play. Makes perfect sense to me.

 

[mopinks]

it's about manipulating your ki

 

[BadWolf]

Bringing sense into this?

Might as well cancel gaming.

 

[smurfx]

i'm sure OP only plays life simulators and quits his games forever if he dies once.

Only game where it makes sense. I tried double jumping like Kratos once and I just couldn't do it. How the fuck?

 

[z1ggy]

Imagine if you could double jump in real life

 

[SaberVS7]

We have a product for you

It's called ARMA 3.

 

[Deleted member 16876]

Doom 4 showed that you use boots that have jets in them so you can double jump.

Certainly a take, Crash bandicoot has elevated gameplay because of it's double jump.

 

[JusDoIt]

But it's dope.

What, why? Double jumping is fun, how is it a patch for bad level design? How is it different from other mobility options such as hovering, air dashing, or wall jumping?

 

[Speevy]

Having just rocketlaunchered the entire undead army, it is quite impossible for me to open this gate.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

it makes sense in hollow knight, since your second jump is achieved by using wings

You can't?

 

[kurt]

Make much sense in rocket league

Def like it when games attempt to contextualize at least.

There is nothing worse than the God of War double jump. Looks like complete shit. Didn't even bother to turn the second jump into a somersault or anything. Literally the same animation played twice.

 

[Speevy]

I can't even single jump in real life without hurting myself.

"this kid here broke both his legs, trying to fly like Superman double jump like Kratos"

 

[EggmaniMN]

It runs on developer intent

 

[Bedlam]

A videogame move so satisfying does not need an explanation. It's powered by pure satisfaction.

 

[ghostcrew]

Really? Last time I fell off of something high I just jumped just before I hit the ground and it didn't hurt.

Don't remind me

Nah, it makes all the sense.

Your core is too weak. Did you see Kratos' abs? That's where the second jump comes from
