I'd say the boosting barrel rolls were harder, at least to land properly.jigglywiggly said:

Sorry, Aussie colloquialism
Resident Evil Outbreak's first mission had this one part where the character has to jump across a ledge. Problem is, if you don't time it right, you're hanging for a few seconds, enough time for a fucking crow to peck you to your death if you don't kill them beforehand. I could never time that part correctly.

The worst thing about that Assassin's Creed 2 jump is that it uses the bitchin' Wall Jump that the game doesn't teach you until the last (or maybe second last) Assassin Tomb. You can do it right from the beginning, but because you're never told that it's there (and it wasn't in Assassin's Creed 1), you'll only find out about it by pure luck before the game explicitly tells you to do it. 30 seconds more tutorial at the start of the game would have solved the problem completely. I've been playing through the game again and it's amazing how useful the move is.

Well, I *did* do all five parallels, so I clearly liked it a fair bit myself. I've tried to go back though, and I have no idea how I got through it.viewtiful_dru said:
This thread is clearly divided by those who played the fourth parallel of Dark Savior and those who haven't.
Hated the jump to the Relto page in Eder Kemo.. not to mention the bad lag and framerates I was getting on my Mac (this was right before Gametap cancelled Myst Online). Eder Gira also has a bad jump. Probably the worst jumping (and non-jumping) puzzles I've ever seen.
This one's probably the best, though.

Not really, I only found that train bit annoying the first time I played. Most other places are easily done with no more than a few attempts. The game only really gets difficult during the time trials if you're trying to link multiple advanced moves together to achieve a fast time.0OoO0 said:

I realised it was the worst jump after making it.

this times a quadrillion.
Trials HD has a bunch of very advanced jumps that most mortals cant hope to learn to do on a regular basis if at all.
luckily you dont need to learn them to finish courses, they are shortcuts like the Metroid ones Scarlet mentioned earlier.
some of the shit you encounter when first learning the courses seems that difficult, but its child's play in comparison to what the truly skilled can do.
ha ha.
yeah, but if you couldn't scrabble your way up there, there should be a friend to help boost you. so it doesn't count.
plus it wasnt that hard. just hard to do consistently.

Hated the platforming in Ninja Gaiden, the controls are too sensitive for some of them. Its fine during most gameplay because the platforms were large enough, but for a few it was just ridiculous.Yoshichan said:

2nd times someone said this.
baloney.
is it hard as fuck, and cheap as shit? yes and yes.
are there plenty of other cheap glitchy jumps in a ton of other poorly designed games that have come out since? fuck yes.
its a hard jump because its cheap and broken, not because it takes skill though. still i agree that its very hard.
I can't believe nobody's mentioned Super Metroid...

There was a jump in Call of Juarez 2 that I just could not figure out. Tried 15 times, failed, then never put the disc in my 360 again. I couldn't figure out any other way to go. Kept falling to my death.

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

Forkball said:
You need to run up the wall and jump to the side to grab it, a normal jump will completely miss.
I never had an issue since I always jump the way the game needed for that spot, but apparently it's the only time it's ever required to do so. It also just looks like he could grab it with a normal jump, so some people probably assume the game is glitching when he doesn't grab it.
