66.

I keep calling it 44. I don't know why.

something, something, Australia, upside-down, something, something.

 

[LQX]

Shadow of the Colossus, the last Colossus arm to get to his head. Said fuck it and gave up on the game.

I've hated birds ever since...

 

[Vexidus]

I remember Turok for N64 having some pretty sick jumping sections. Particularly the tiny posts that spiraled up to a platform you needed to get to. Ugh!

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

I remember some of the later levels in the original Crash Bandicoot when you're trying to break all the crates without dying being a total pain in the ass. The worst is when there's a line of of them going into the screen over a pit that you have to hop on one by one. The character model obscures your view and it's really, really easy to misjudge.

 

[JacksUsername]

Worst part is... it isn't a jump.

Came to post this...

There was also a jump in the game around the same area (where you're driving in the van). You got out and entered a sewer, and if you did not hit the button perfectly, you would hit your head on the ceiling above and fall into a pit. Not nearly as frustrating as the one you posted above, but still a major pain in the ass.

[commissar]

Inexplicably the double crouch jump part of Oni's training level on PC.
I tried for an hour and got past it at the end so I saved it and went to bed.

Then I found out it was checkpoint based and had to do it again. In the end (I have no idea how long I tried the second time) I had to noclip it.

No idea why

 

[Gribbix]

FUCK THAT THING

You never, EVER have to use the "jump on your own and grab something above you" jump in the game, then it throws it at you without explanation.

It came right as I was trying to explain to someone how awesome this game is.

It was so problematic, Ubisoft actually created a support page with a video showing how to reach the lamp post.

Spoiler

The strange thing about it is that climbing that tower was not a problem in AC1. For some odd reason, Ubisoft removed a metal climbing ring that was present in the original.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Also the solution to the circus case in PW2 was a pretty shitty jump.

 

[Grayman]

that doom 3 jump does look to be a bitch, would be really easy if the game had circle jump.

There are a lot of Quake jumps where I say eff it and use a rocket. I don't think I can do the RA jump on aerowalk( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIQtnBnn9xA ) in any game its been in

This is the only right answer (if you've played this game)

There's one in World 5 that's much harder where the bird appears out of nowhere.

 

[Mafro]

+1 for that ridiculous bit in Assassin's Creed 2. Urgh...

 

[Why would you do that?]

Super Mario Bros. 8-2. I was, like 5 years old and spent so many attempts on it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCIO3KEiUB0#t=1m10s

My God, that right there. Forgot about that one

 

[OnPoint]

There's a jump in the Genesis Ecco the Dolphin in one of the

Spoiler

Atlantis

levels. You had to jump over a huge wall, and it's difficult to the point that most people think you can't do it and search fruitlessly for another way through or around. Nope. Over you must go.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QDmuufBrfk

Here you go. I can't hear the sound as I'm at work, but this is the jump.

 

[Luigison]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YVfrxuBrJE#t=2m56s

That's one of my most recent frustrating jump, but the most recent was in NSMBWii 9-7: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hXTK0UxWUA

Also, second pipe in SMB 8-2 was probably my first hurtle way back then:

I'm only about 90-something stars in SMG2 so far, but there may be some jumps to come worthy of this thread.

 

[vocab]

Climb Maps in Counter-Strike have some pretty nasty jumps.

Hard Cathedral was pretty brutal (I beat it in 40-50 mins), but Sandblock 2 or Hard sandblock has like a 270-280 long jump. It's borderline impossible.

that doom 3 jump does look to be a bitch, would be really easy if the game had circle jump.

There are a lot of Quake jumps where I say eff it and use a rocket. I don't think I can do the RA jump on aerowalk( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIQtnBnn9xA ) in any game its been in

I can only make that jump in like CPMA or Quake world where the speed is just crazy fast. Can't do that worth shit in OSP or Vq3.

 

[Lumpy Onion]

Strider NES's Triangle Jump. I remember as a kid being really pissed off at this one.

 

[luka]

fuck it, i give up :[

i did my best.

YOU HEAR ME!?!?

I DID MY BEST.

ONLY LOSERS WHINE ABOUT THEIR BEST.

I'm serious though. Try using this:

 

[RagnarokX]

I'll go with an obscure PS1 game: One by ASC Games. It was a very good 3rd person shooter/platformer ala Contra in 3D. It could be very hard to tell landing distance given some of the camera angles. And then there was the second to last level which takes place in a dream sequence/flashback where you are in a lab that is made up of floating blocks that fall down. That level was hell. Great game though.

 

[WaltJay]

The SK guildleader in Cabilis in Everquest. One of big issues was the amount of lag. I remember looking at the floor during one my million attempts at that jump, in order to combat the lag. UGH!!

 

[Bizzyb]

There's one in World 5 that's much harder where the bird appears out of nowhere.

The whole game was full of insta-death jumps. It was ridiculous.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Devil May Cry 3 Rotation Cube Chamber jumps.

 

[Boonoo]

I think I gave up on Half-life when I couldn't get the hang of the long jump.

I was stuck in Half Life 1 for a couple hours at the first point you had to crouch jump to get over (I think it was some marine crates). I had forgotten about crouch jump getting letting you go higher.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

something, something, Australia, upside-down, something, something.

:lol

Sounds about right.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

Fucking suspended crates in a stepping stair in Half Life 1 early on in the game. Maybe it was my age but that shit was fucking bullshit.

i couldn't for the life of me jump across the elevator shaft to the ladder. quit playing for months before trying again.

 

[TheSeks]

Doom 3 didn't have shitty platforming sections. At least not on the X-box. There was a few jumping sections, but nothing bullshit hard. WTF. :/

>>Vanilla Q3<<

Diagonal Jump, Diagonal Jump, 180, ROCKET ROCKET ROCKET.

Oh god. :/

 

[G-Fex]

I'm sure it's in TUROK Dinosaur Hunter

damn first person platforming.

[viewtiful_dru]

Dark Savior, fourth parallel, floating castle.

Isometric jumping? Shitty. Isometric jumping where failure results in death? Shitty. Isometric jumping across small moving platforms where failure results in death? Super shitty. Timed isometric jumping across small moving platforms where failure results in death AND running out of time is a non-negotiable Game Over? ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA shitty.

bahahha I remember that.
I actually really like that game (is that strange?).

 

[Desi]

i don't have any pictures but:

Xenogears: The jump to the switch in the cave where you fight Calamity. When I was younger it drove me to the brink of tears. Babel was nothing compared to that, especially since Calamity kept killing me and I couldn't understand why.

 

[G-Bus]

Shadow of the Colossus, the last Colossus arm to get to his head. Said fuck it and gave up on the game.

This! Games still on my shelf and haven't touched it since. Doesn't help I don't have a ps2 and my 60gig kicked the bucket.

Read through the whole thread and this is the only one I would agree with. Granted I haven't played half the games mentioned here.

 

[Melville]

Some jumps in Alundra

 

[Various Artists]

You got out and entered a sewer, and if you did not hit the button perfectly, you would hit your head on the ceiling above and fall into a pit.

You can walk across this gap!

I think some of the worst jumps in games ever was in Turok 1.

God dammit, I don't remember that. But I'm sure I never had problems there.

Talk about bad memories. Thinking back this really is the worst jump I have ever attempted. Absolutely horrifying. It frustrates me just thinking about it.

 

[jiggles]

Barrel roll onto the overpass on Anulpha Pass to beat Zico in WipEout HD, hands down.

[2 Minutes Turkish]

There is a jump in Ocarina of Time in the Dodongo's Cavern I think, and it LOOKS like you can't make it.

Because I assumed I couldn't, I didn't know where to go, so I gave up on the game for almost 6 months :lol :lol :lol

I desperately wanted to play on, so I jumped into a FAQ and read that you could make the jump even though it appeared you couldn't.

I fucking spewed.

 

[Wark]

This jump in Final Fantasy VII wasn't really too difficult if you learned the timing, but it used to annoy the fuck out of me.

Ninja Gaiden

Definitely this.

[TheFury]

Agreed with the AC2 jump. Took me an hour or so to figure it out and every time I ended up jumping off the platform and had to restart the sequence all over again. Finally looked online to see how to do it.

 

[Prezhulio]

just repeating the sentiments for that fucking lamp post part in AC2. i still don't even remember what i did to get past it.

 

[Host Samurai]

SoTC - Colossi #16
SMB 1 - 8-2 (back in the day)

Are the correct answers.

 

[Grayman]

OH HOLY CRAP

thank you.

Does anyone else find this as funny as I do :lol

Good thread though COOLIO.
