There is no jump button in this game...

[dafaq?!]

...is that true? Just read somewhere in an article there will be no jump buttons the way we know it - just qte/mini cutscenes of "press X to do something"

Is this a joke?

[Daisuke Hanata]

There is. It is the button you use for swooping, and climbing. Even says in the keyboard configuration, and why surprised? A lot of games do not have a jump button, if you decide your choice to get a game just because of one button, you are in the wrong hobby. Pick something else like gardening :D

Press X to jump =/= jump, jump means you press a button you jump, like - you just jump, that's it. No mini-cutscenes involved and floating messages prompting you...

Anyway, it should be evident i am not talking about the button itself... I am talking about freedom of moment, this was paramount in any thief game. If you played you will know why i am surprised...

Check my library. I have played the games. And does not bother me since you can practically climb any surface from what I seen.

An issue that some reviewers (people that actually have played the game) have brought up about the contextual jumping is that since you don't have the ability to jump freely you have to manually check every possible area that contextual jumping may be allowed to see if the jump function is available. Sounds natural, huh?

Yap. You won't be jumping up and down like an idiot in real life.

Also, there's a huge thread on this already.

I wish there was a downvote button for threads on the forums though

I also discovered there isn't a button so Garrett can adjust his junk. There goes the immersion for me....

According to the level designer:

“Jumping, bouncing up and down, kind of broke the immersion … We didn’t want you to be the master thief and you just tend to fall off stuff all the time.”

Am speechless...
