what goes up

[Ziggy]

We all tried it.
You get a little bored in a sandbox-game, and suddenly you are at one of the tallest places in the game, may it be a building in a plane or at the top of a mountain. Now there is only one thing left to do. My question is what are the moment you remember best.

Mine is in GTA San Andreas where I would drive a car out from the top of a mountain and just watch.

GTA IV

Biggest building in New York, spawn motorcycle ride of roof.

 

[Tharwen]

Assassin's Creed: Go to the top of the Acre Cathedral. Jump off.

(Or you can simply hang off the edge and drop if you feel like making the physics engine weep)

Saints Row 2. Take a plane or helicopter up to the highest point you can fly, bail out, and skip the parachute.

Just Cause 2's another good one.

 

[zaiggs]

GTA4 BoGT, driving motorcycles off the roof of the tallest building, bailing, and trying to land on pedestrians.

 

[harv3034]

Spider Man 2...

standing on top of the Empire State Building and then flinging myself into the void, pondering what the game will to to my body when I hit and what (if anything) I will land on during the 6 second freefall.

then being overjoyed when i hit the ground at break neck (literaly) speed, go bouncing off along the road as the game goes into full glitch mode (I hit the sweet spot apperently and broke the game) bringing a bus, two cars and about 20 screaming pedestrians along for the ride.

nice one

I remember climbing the Agency Tower in Crackdown. That was badass, but jumping off it was even better.

Saints Row 2. Take a plane or helicopter up to the highest point you can fly, bail out, and skip the parachute.

Just Cause 2's another good one.

In SR2, I almost always get hit by the wing on the way out and fall to my death (the game calls it falling rather than jumping, so no parachute option, you just screem until you hit the concrete...) It worked the first time I tried it though...

Alternativly, you can fly a plane into Ultor tower and jump out.

It must depend on the plane, because that never happened to me. Admittedly, I doubt I tried it with even most of the planes/copters.

I'm sorry, what?
I have no idea what you mean.

Err.
I dunno, but Minecraft, I started raging about not being able to build more trees. Then I realised it was at the maximum height.

Yeah. I reached the max height by growing trees from sea level.
Took a loooong time.

 

[Jonluw]

In the demo for Just cause. Jumped out of a helicopter from the maximum altitude.

What I remember best is surviving the fall without using a parachute.

 

[Guffe]

Mario Galaxy...
Fly to space, make a few quick stops...
and then back down to earth.

 

[Geekosaurus]

Going to that building in San Andreas where it takes you to the roof. I tested to see which vehicle (by doing vehicle spawn cheats) would survive the fall. Oddly enough, if the tank landed upside down it wouldn't survive, because it would set on fire. The only thing that would survive the fall was a golf buggy. Happy times.
