Are you stupid?
You're not supposed to jump for it, there's tons of ways around if you just looked.
Max was shot, which is why he has a brace on his leg, of course he can't jump 10 meters.

You see the brace on his left leg? That kind of injury is why he can't jump.

I wish Steam forums had a "like" option.

Did you reply to the wrong person or something.

By the way, I'd like to point out that Max can easily jump like five feet to climb one of those marked climbing spots you have to hold A for. The spots that further negate the point of having a jump button.

I'ts the hop button

He's not just 'jumping' the five feet into the air, he's hauling himself up (as much with his arms as legs) if you actually bothered to look at the animation...

I bothered to look at the animation. There are moments where he has to leap 5 feet up in the air in order to reach the ledge he's hauling himself up on.

Definitely not.
The only real places he pulls himself up are the yellow marked edges/walls.
There are very few gaps where you can/need to jump over, but thats all doable.

There is no need in the game to jump very far at any given time.

Which are the ledges I'm talking about. Some of these are comically high up, and Max jumps up to climb them effortlessly. Yet he can barely jump 6 inches off the ground when you press the jump button.

So why waste a button on a jump mechanic

Am i the developer? How am i supposed to know?
But from what i experienced, people complained more about *not* having a jump button (e.g. Witcher, Thief..) then having a protagonist who can only do small jumps.

Apart from that, Mad Max isn't a game which is designed to let you jump around all the time. It's more like a "comfort" function, to jump over little obstacles instead of running around it (and i had those situations, so it was a good thing for me).

Thief is criticized because previous games in the series allowed you to freely jump. In their attempt to water the game down to appeal to an audience who doesn't care they removed this. I haven't seen anyone complaining about the lack of a jump in The Witcher.

Why not make this an auto-function while the player is holding the run button.

Those where just my thoughts on why they *might* opted for that option.
And i've read enough criticism for "not jumping" in both games. But then again, it might not be crucial enough to spread a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on their own.

Would have been an option, yet they didn't opt for that.
Apart from "i don't want to press another button every now and then" i also see no harm in in doing it the way they did it.

He jumps about as high as you do. Are you thinking you can jump 8 feet in the air?

You'll need to jump at some point and you'll wish you didn't.

It wastes a button slot on something that's almost entirely useless.

Makes me fear for what epick meems bethesda-fans will come up with for Fallout 4.
