[Chunky]

Can't believe no-one's said the obvious.

EDIT: FUCK, knights can jump.

 

[Phat Michael]

Diablo III? Tie fighter?

 

[Krappadizzle]

The Witcher 2, well there is a context sensitive jump, but there is no jump button.

Also, Arma 2.

You can make the dolphins do that for you hahaha

 

[Deleted member 1235]

super monkey ball. you know which one I mean, the good one.

 

[Drkirby]

My first though was with VVVVVV, a "platformer" with no jumping, all you have is gravity switching.

arcade shmups

'Run And Guns' are considered a sub-genre of shmups, and in almost all of them you can jump. Examples are Contra and Metal Slug.

Why did I make this??!?

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

I can't jump... They never let me forget it..
I can't jump alright alright..
I'll never let them forget it
- Guild Wars

 

[perfectchaos007]

vvvvvv.

damn, you beat me to it.

um, Mario Tennis I guess?

 

[Ice Mage]

Was playing SWAT 4 with friends and kept trying to jump with the space bar, instead issuing commands and giving away our position due to the noise

 

[Chunky]

Nier

Why did I make this??!?

Nier definitely has a jump button.

This was one of the big turn offs for me with Guild Wars.

Elevator Action

Eum, you certainly can. It even gives you more points for taking out enemies instead of shooting them.
One of my favorite arcade games of all time actually.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Most games?

 

[nOoblet16]

No mention of the Ninja Theory games?
For most games you don't necessarily need a jump button and for others it's substituted by a roll button which is just as good. In games like Enslaved and Heavenly Sword where you have your characters jumping around so much it's surprising to see that there isn't actually any jump button outside of certain situations.

 

[Bakphoon]

I don't remember jumping in Luigi's Mansion.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Came to post vvvvvv.

This has to be the worst game I have ever beaten.

 

[BGBW]

Should have been the first answer.

Didn't one of them have the ability to jump up to high places?

 

[LeadenStride]

Didn't one of them have the ability to jump up to high places?

Yes, Coyote could. My favorite of them.

 

[Chuckpebble]

Aww, shit beaten all around.

Goldeneye Wii. Don't like jumping in my shooters.

 

[biggersmaller]

 

[EGM1966]

Anything in a 3D world like Gears, MGS and the like I tend to miss jumping a lot and it really tugs me out of feeling immersed - even if you don't use it much it still feels odd; like you're playing with a missing limb or something.

Silent Hill oddly it never bothered me. Guess I just knew jumping around wouldn't mix well with a sense of dread - hard to be scared if you can bunny jump away from monsters if you feel like it.

Only because of this I could not get into GW1. So glad that you can jump in GW2.

One of the reasons why SMK is still best MK.

 

[Teppic]

Batman: Arkham City. It just feels wrong not to be able to jump in this game.

 

[schragnasher]

Star Wars Galaxies...an 3d MMO without jumping...at least from what i remember.

The exact opposit of SWG jumping would be jumping in Asherons call, you could jump like crazy with the right skills.

 

[BGBW]

Still waiting for the Return of the King.

There's still hope as the course still hasn't been brought back as a retro track (SC excluded). If thye do here's hoping Battle Course 2 also makes an appearance. Jumping out of bounds for no reason was great fun.

I'm still waiting for someone to create the 'Games where you can jump?' opposite thread.

Modern games where you MUST press start to play. I wonder how many even exist.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Modern games where you MUST press start to play. I wonder how many even exist.

More than the ones where you must use the select button to cycle through your menu options.

 

[Cheddahz]

I would had liked the game alot more if you could had jumped, there were a few times in the game when I felt like I needed to jump

 

[TheExodu5]

Very cool answer.

 

[Askani]

I know people have already Said FFXIV, but I'll add FFXI to that also. There are several places where they block your path with less than knee high (excluding Tarus) environment things. It was so frustrating to have to walk an extra 3-4 minutes around something because you couldn't take a high step up. Poor level design combined with a missing mechanic just sucks. Especially when sometimes walking up a slope in Ordelle's Caves and you'd get stuck on the terrain and have to move back and forth on a step. Just give me a jump!!
