Death To Fall Damage
>One of the things I love about Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, a game full of things to love, is this: You can’t die from fall damage. No matter what.
>From the start of the game, your main character (Kassandra, or Alexios if you’re basic) will take reduced damage from leaping off mountains or buildings, no matter the height. Then, at level 20, you’ll take no damage at all. It’s a brilliant feature that, coupled with freeform climbing, encourages exploration in a way reminiscent of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. You can wander in any direction you’d like, moving up and down with no concern for how you’ll get back to where you started. This is a nice contrast to other massive role-playing games, like The Witcher 3, in which you star as a grizzled mercenary who can single-handedly defeat entire armies but dies if he jumps more than five feet.
>The logic behind fall damage in video games is twofold. One: it makes the world feel more realistic when you can’t leap off huge mountains without dying. Two: it creates an artificial barrier to prevent the player from exploring and reaching places they shouldn’t be reaching. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey wisely throws both of those rationales out the window, accepting the fact that a game about a woman who uses VR to travel back through time doesn’t need to be too realistic, and that reaching places you shouldn’t be reaching in a video game is actually pretty damn cool.
>If Assassin’s Creed Odyssey influences other game developers in one way, let it be this: Fall damage is bad and should go away forever.

Have they forgotten that BoTW also has fall damage and then has the glider for helping you to get down from high places? And that's not even counting that TWW had the Deku Lead or SS with that gliding cloth

On the topic of fall damage,
Sometimes it would make no sense to fall from an incredibly high distance and survive, I understand that, but why is it so hard to make good or reasonable fall damage now?

>Dark Souls 2 has the worst fall damage i've ever seen that makes me feel like i'm playing as a character made of fucking glass.

>Gaylo 2-3 had no fall damage which made sense, since you were human super soldiers in armor that could survive falling into the atmosphere…only to be reintroduced in Gaylo Reach for whatever reason.
>Monster Hunter has no fall damage which makes little to no sense, but it dosen't affect the gameplay in a negative way so I don't care as much
I'd try to list more examples but it's hard to find or think of games made in current year that even bother putting a drop that can damage or kill you.
Imagine if DOOM had fall damage and any 5 foot drop immediately dipped 25 health off of you.

It's like any gameplay element: Whether you use it or not, and how, is dependent on whether the game is served by it, even within the same genre. Like Hexen, even though it's based on Doom, decided to add it, and designed the maps around it so you'd get punished a bit for carelessly leaping off of tall places but rarely (if ever) be forced to do so, and of course for deadly chasms where you just die.

Xenoblade Chronicles has fall damage, and the game would recommend you when jumping from heights to land in water to not die. Even then it still had an in game achievement for killing yourself by falling from a great height. If you did die, you would just respawn at the previous landmark you passed, so their was no punishment outside wasted time.
I remember when I got to the Valek Mountain stage and just using Reyn (with like 8000+ HP at the time) to just tank fall damage when going down some of the big drops.
As mentioned by >>15598337 XCX doesn't have it, but storywise there could be a reason for the characters not experiencing it. That game was also fucking huge though and even had an auto-run toggle so the player doesn't have to hold the stick forward/hold run button and only worry about steering and jumping through the games massive environments.

I like how he explains that not having fall damage is, in his view, justified for this one specific game, then goes on to say that because it works for this one game now all games should remove it "forever". This is what happens when retards are unable to look at things in a more nuanced way than black and white; it's good once, therefore it's always good forever and can never be bad.

so there's essentially no penalty for fucking up jumps?
not having fall damage is ok in cases like dmc or re4 where platforming is not a focus & the inclusion of fall damage would only serve to slow down traversal. but not having it in a game where so much focus is placed on traversal effectively removes all the risk and consequence (and therefore any sense of tension) from the broadest set of interactions in the game. that's like having a gta game where there's no vehicle damage.

What the fuck? In ass creed 1 the whole game was about how assassins didn't fear death and would fake death by jumping off high places into convenient hay bales to fake their deaths and get away. One dude missed the hay and broke his leg at the beginning of the game. What happened? Can I just jump off any fucking castle in the new ass creed games without hay or a falcon telling me it's safe?

What? In Breath of the Wild, you take fall damage and can easily die from a large fall (though this isn't a concern if you get a lot of stamina, as you tend to do past midgame). You also often can get down into an area that you can't easily climb back up, also due to the stamina.
Why even use this comparison? It doesn't make any sense.

While it's true that sequence breaking is cool, if the game was designed around there being no fall damage then there's no place you can fall into that you weren't intended to. Unless they made the change at the last minute, which I doubt.

Is there a way to ever possibly make a more natural barrier than terrain and gravity, concepts typically mastered by toddlers with little to no guidance? Or does everything that kills one of these faggots have to be "artificial"?
>>15598882
>Right, so "interaction". Just say that.
Interaction between what, then? Gameplay defines multiple interactions. It defines the interactions between the player and the controls, the controls with the game, the way the game interacts with the player by transmitting data via audio and visual cues, the decision-making process that the player makes using this data, etc. When you play a cheap five dollar indie shooter from the age where low-quality FPS games were being shoveled out, you're going to get poor movement options, lack of basic information such as hit markers or the direction you're being attacked from, levels that were simply point A to point B, two guns, and no 3d sound. You just uncomfortably shuffle towards the enemies like a mongoloid with no thought into your pathing or attacks and never having to make a decision. That's shit gameplay. When you are suddenly playing a game with open levels, multiple arms to choose from, responsive enemy AI, and things like hit markers and 3d sound, you're actively engaged in the process, making decisions with data the game is appropriately feeding you. That's much better gameplay.
Trying to simply call it "interaction" is "push button, get sucked" levels of retardation, and implies little to people who have played games before. People who have played games typically understand gameplay as a concept, because they've played games with bad gameplay, and they've played games with good gameplay. A person who has never played a video game doesn't give a shit, because they don't read about video games all day and randomly decide to start playing games because some cuck said, "my interaction with this video game application was a positive one." If anything, those sorts of folk just look at a number score and count the ads before buying something.
What an unintelligent faggot he is.
>>15598890
I feel like that blog post is very narrow and not very well thought out. People do say things like, "that book was an easy read." People are constantly saying things like, "that movie was a fun watch, but it wasn't very good." I have audiophile faggot friends who work with audio technology, and it's always gotta be some shit like, "oh this is a great, smooth listen, but it's kind of shit." Saying that something has good gameplay is just an equivalent of these statements.
That being said, people don't have the same levels of interactions with movies, songs, or books as they do with video games, and the culmination of interactions that you experience with video games does exist and need to be described uniquely. The listed things like mechanics and level design also need to be described uniquely, but they do not replace gameplay, for these things affect the gameplay of games throughout different genres and time periods uniquely themselves.

NPC meme seems to be forced now to try and replace normalfag, as far as I know. Normalfag has inherent disdain for mainstream culture and normalfags can deny that mainstream is shit only for so long. Calling somebody an NPC isn't much different than calling somebody dumb, it misses the point in this context.

Isn't the whole purpose of fall damage to keep dumb people from doing the same thing over and over again in a video game? "Like okay I keep dying here I should probably do something else"
although, I have seen people that don't play video games very much go through a long session and as soon as they fall and die they just stop playing the game all together… (I wonder if all this is related somehow)

if your progress is hindered in a game, usually through dying, then youre probably not having all that much fun in the first place. at least, that can be my experience with a game im not very interested in.
what i dont understand is why they dont advocate for the return of cheat codes if they just want punishment mechanics to not exist any more.
okay, so they might look a little weak, would that actually hurt their career?

Why do you think they proclaim walking simulators as the greatest video games ever? You can't die, you can't fail, you can't miss a jump, you can't get lost in a corridor, you don't have to aim, you don't have to think out a puzzle, the story is dumb enough for any idiot to understand, yet pretentious enough for any idiot to feel smart about understanding it.

Kingdom Come Deliverance in Hardcore mode with the Brittle Bones (anti)perk has the most realistic fall damage I've seen in a game (when the physics engine is working right). Even walking down a set of stairs wrong you can achieve the real life equivalent of spraining your ankle. I stupidly tried climbing a cliff side to get to the top as a "shortcut" and ended up falling down the hill but surviving within an sliver of HP with crippling limb injuries and sustained bleed damage. Because I stupidly didn't save for an hour or two, I frantically broke into peoples houses in game ransacking cupboards for bandage to staunch the bleed effect. I managed to survive in the nick of time but pissed off the residants for stealing and got thrown into the slammer for a couple days. I'm probably a masochist but that was among the funnest misadventures I've experienced in a game, a slap of cold and harsh reality.

>one mechanic is bad because another game that doesn't feature it is really good
>no games should have this mechanic because some genres don't benefit from it
The reason Doom doesn't have fall damage has two parts: the first part is that it doesn't add to the game in any way, as long falls are nigh non-existant, and traps are specifically designed to be escapable. The second part is world design: why would a Martian Lunar Marine die from falling? He has power armour.
Furthermore, many of the greatest games are in genres that are harmed by fall damage. Take for instance your classic, non-cinematic platformers, such as Mario, Sonic, etc. Fall damage wouldn't work because the game relies on unrealistically traveling up and down the Y-axis, as if the character was a cartoon, fantasy or comedy character. In cinematic platformers, such as Prince of Persia or Another World, fall damage makes sense because the character is supposed to move realistically up and down the Y-axis, as if the character was an action-adventure movie character.
The Assassin's Creed series, which the OP's article is about, takes heavy inspiration from cinematic platformers.

It's in 5 too.
It's also the "best" ending as in 4.
This definitely proves that the Ubi writers are doing it on purpose and that those games are probably written by the smartest people in the entire field of writing for vidya (possibly writing for entertainment as a whole), which is a sort of special Olympics and doesn't make up for the bland as fuck Far Cry gameplay but I guess it's "something".
