has anyone ever liked fall damage in a game they have played?

star citizen is a mother level! there are definitely great use cases for it, but i think there are a lot of games especially fast FPS shooters that would be way better without

Star Citizen does it so realistically (usually) that I don’t mind. It doesn’t feel like “wow that was BS” it feels like “ohhh fuck I’m lucky I didn’t break my legs”.

i play to escape reality. my knees hurt in real life i don't want them to hurt in the game

Gaming analyst at @game7 | Here for the vibes and the games

Opinions are my own (and they are great)

i shall fight this evil. there is no need to enforce reality in a virtual world.

If it's there as a gameplay mechanic/consideration (Spelunky, AC, etc.) It's good. if it's there just to be realistic it's bad.

Would make speedrunning less challenging in a number of games (Halo)

In the old Battletech tabletop game you could land on enemy mechs with a death from above maneuver that would damage them and also obviously your legs. Dunno if they kept that in the more recent video games but fall damage there seems like a fair trade off for a fun time.

Just duck and roll legend of Zelda style 😬
