Wow, it seems like you're really mad tonight! XD
Epic post though. But there are some games that should require jump buttons if all the other games of the same genre have it, at least that's what I think. Heavenly Sword should definitely have a jump button, since it's an action ''hack 'n slash'' game, it would probably improve the gameplay and the amount of moves you could pull off against the enemy, a bit like Ninja Gaiden II and Devil May Cry IV (which are amazing by the way).
Also, a shooter that doesn't have a jump button now is pretty much old school. Now, there is a limit on how high you can jump though (and how fast it makes you go, Source engine says hi)...! =P
So, in conclusion, if it can improve the gameplay, I say why not?
Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
