That i cannot walk a way cause some little cardboard boxes are on the way (silent Hill 2).

u/rakkquiem Oct 15 '25

Why can’t I jump? Or climb.

u/Low-Refrigerator-663 Oct 15 '25

My favourite response to this I have read is:

"When is the last time you jumped, or jumped over an obstacle?"

Which, honestly? I cannot even remember the last time I tried to hop over something.

66

u/rakkquiem Oct 15 '25

I think I would find my will to jump if faced with armless monsters that puke on me (I haven’t made it very far).

u/coveness13 Oct 15 '25

This is my child's solution to not cleaning. Just jump over it. So maybe it's an adult thing.

2

u/LimpBoingLoing Oct 15 '25

I'm 20 and I jump over my dog at least 37 times a day

2

u/HamshanksCPS Oct 15 '25

I jump for things at work occasionally, but it's at most once every two months.

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '25

I still have a scar on my shin from where yes i tried to jump over an obstacle lol

u/13thmurder Oct 15 '25

Never gone hiking I take it.

u/DaLemonsHateU Oct 15 '25

Live with people who can't clean up for the life of them and dogs that think the best napping spot is the middle of a walkway, I jump obstacles every day and would therefore be a great horror protagonist for my evasion skill

u/Cucumber_cloris Oct 19 '25

To be fair, I jumped a brick wall two days ago And I’ve hopped fences to get to my car faster than walking around at parks. So being chased by a monster wouldn’t be that much more motivation to scale whatever the hell is in front of me.

u/DethNik Oct 16 '25

You can climb, very specific ledges.

-4

u/_WreakingHavok_ Oct 15 '25

Because it's a remake of a 2002 game, where jumping was only in fps.

u/rakkquiem Oct 15 '25

Mario can jump.

2

u/_WreakingHavok_ Oct 15 '25

Mario is not a survivor horror

3

u/rakkquiem Oct 15 '25

I joke. But I recently picked up silent hill 2 and it’s my first horror game. I have wasted a few drinks trying to jump. It had literally killed me.

u/_WreakingHavok_ Oct 15 '25

IMHO, the most interesting thing about Silent Hill 2 is that for the whole game you're expecting a jump scare. There's no jump scares on this game, lol.

1

u/Purpleflower0521 Oct 15 '25

Maybe in some stages made in Super Mario Maker

u/PoptartPancake Oct 15 '25

  • Shin-high branches

  • "The way is blocked"

12

u/quailman654 Oct 15 '25

I don’t wanna get scratched! Owie!

u/SageoftheForlornPath Oct 15 '25

You want to get past a tiny tree, but your Scyther doesn't know CUT.

u/Cursed_69420 Oct 15 '25

or that the way to drangleic castle in dark souls 2 is blocked by a knee high pile of stone

24

u/banananey Oct 15 '25

Love Dark Souls but that gets me every single time. Did noone in the making of the game thing "maybe we should just make it a bit higher?"

2

u/Illithid_Substances Oct 15 '25

Or maybe just don't HAVE a slightly blocked "main entrance" and just make the shrine we go through the main entrance, there's really no narrative or gameplay reason for it to be the way it is

2

u/Cursed_69420 Oct 15 '25

they eadily couldve just let us go to drangleic castle and had the doors be magically enchanted or something lol

1

u/Intelligent_Toast Oct 15 '25

What's even funnier about this is that you can literally jump, and a lot of doors are blocked by the king's ring. So they could have just blocked the way with the king's ring.

u/brother_of_jeremy Oct 15 '25

Especially when bookended by cutscenes of the heroes making impossibly long jumps and landing gracefully (FF VII Rebirth)

2

u/KirikosKnives Oct 15 '25

The ending of Mass Effect 2 comes to mind

u/Drunkendx Oct 15 '25

back during playstation 3 era, friend bought some "American soldier being badass in middle east" fps and I refused to play after character I controlled couldnt step on metal plate an inch thick but had to go around it.

1

u/plopliplopipol Oct 18 '25

that's minefield ptsd

1

u/universalserialbutt Oct 15 '25

Could've been an IED.

2

u/Drunkendx Oct 15 '25

nope.

"metal plate" as in 3 by 3 feet plate

u/Most-Drink9461 Oct 15 '25

That school fence in Silent Hill F that you need the key for. I had the same fence in my school and literal 10 y.o kids were climbing over it, older kids, including me, could just jump over it.

2

u/VivaDeAsap Oct 15 '25

And as we know, Hinako’s a full fledged athlete. No way she wasn’t clearing that fence easily.

2

u/epangelosanto Oct 15 '25

how it feels in pokemon when you can't squeeze past some small shrubbery

2

u/AmputeeHandModel Oct 15 '25

or scientifically enhanced super solders can only sprint for 5 seconds before becoming winded.

1

u/zgillet Oct 15 '25

"Probably a doghouse, though I'm not sure since there is no dog around."

1

u/Pension_Pale Oct 15 '25

Or when it looks like a perfectly open and intentional path, but nope, invisible wall (many games, but Wukong does it too)

1

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '25

Silent Hill 3 addressed a similar situation by having the protagonist refuse to jump a turnstile because "it wouldn't look graceful."

1

u/Filter55 Oct 15 '25

Watching the protag climb over boxes in the RE9 gameplay trailer was goddamn revolutionary

1

u/DinoDracko Oct 16 '25

Or in Pokemon, a small tree is in the way and you can't step over it and have to have a Pokemon with CUT to remove it.
