Quote:Once again, I will state what I have already mentioned several times in this thread. Jumping is something that I would -like- to see implemented. I have also stated that I would rather them fix one of the fourteen bugs and issues I find with the game right now, like adding a recipe book or a more organized inventory system or a more streamlined UI(something that doesn't require you to access a menu to stand), before they focus on jumping. I have, in no way, referenced that I feel that this should be an immediate implementation and I have already proclaimed what you feel that I need to "put into perspective", more than one time, in this thread.
The fact is, that my suggestion that they add jumping was picked out of a list of fourteen other issues, and quite franky, was the most insigificant "issue" on the list. I wouldn't even consider it an "issue", just something that I think they should consider adding in the future.
I agree with this. Jumping would be nice of them to include, to add to player agency and all that, but it seems like whenever someone says "You know what would be nice? Jumping." People jump (hahaha I am so clever) all over them. To me it's like if someone said to their mom, "You know what would be nice? If you did your hair long instead of short." and a bystander replied, "You don't like her hair? GET A NEW MOM!"
The ridiculousness of the analogy here is how ludicrous I feel people are being when they say things like, "If you want jumping so badly, go play something else." Everyone is allowed to still love a game and be critical of it. We critique because we care. There are of course, PLENTY of things wrong with this game that deserve to be thrashed to pieces by the press. Jumping is primarily a cosmetic preference by some, but it unfortunately it's the first thing to get thrown out there for pointless, circular debate. :/
