How do you jump properly?

[Blackram67]

I'm getting a bit frustrated here. There are several places where I just can't jump properly. I don't know if it's as a result of using a keyboard and mouse, rather than a game controller. Currently I'm in a second chapter, trying to jump at the meathook All I end up doing is falling down. I was watching a walk-thru video with some guy playing it on a PS4, and it was so effortless for him.

Any suggestions for us PC users?

♥♥♥♥♥...another jump thread...so hilarious

btw if you can not operate the simple game mechanic in this game, i feel sorry for you.

In this piece of crap you cannot jump. You have to go to a position where devs decided you CAN jump and jump there. Also, to kump off ledges you must use in some cases space, in some - X, and in some you'll fall off.

Rasterlly is probably too younk to remember older Diablo and Starcraft games...
and btw, you can jump wherever you possibly need to. Im sorry if your favourite way of playing first three Thief games was bunnyhopping around :D

Not every game can be good at anything. They got Thief expecting Assassins Creed like mindless platforming, or and FPS, and then they blame the game for not being what they wanted it to be. Thief is a stealth game, and that is what it does best.

i agree...if you jump down anywhere, the ai will pretty much kill you if you dont plan the map out right. i think that is the problem here...lol

Hey Rasterlly, can you jump in Civ V hmmmmmm? :D

Lol. You guys don't even understand what I am talking about, and you accuse ME of stupidity =)

I will tell you once: there are features that are NOT to be cut in order to maintain fluent gameplay. Like, for example, in original Thiefs bunnyhopping was actually a valid method of speedrunning a level, and a necessary skill to escape from guards or some of worse opponents. In Teef you do not have this option. As well as possibility to get to rooftops and leave behind half the level if you know how. In Diablo I and II you had full control over character progression to shape set of attributes and skills the way you want. In DIII you cannot do it until much later, and you have only a limited set of skills to pick for each character, with 2 or 3 obvious best combinations. I have nothing bad to say about SCII, it has only improved over SCI. I remember hating inability to select more then 12 units at once back in '98.

so what your saying is that the thief originals were dumbed down with, as you call it, a bunny hop to escape guards. thief 2014 takes a little bit more stealth and skill to progress...i agree...you are totally right....as for diablo 1 and 2 and the 1st starcraaft and exp, i understand how they work and jumping was not an issue with those games at all...lol

WHAT NEW THINGS?! Please, list new things in Thief 2014 over Thief 1/2/3 but swoop and new graphics (and obviously new levels/characters/etc.), just pure mechanics.
