Why is every single mission hapening during the night? Couldn't they add at least one mission that goes on during the day?
Pollution and general disregard for the environment fucked up the atmosphere, sunlight can't pierce the smog.
>>344245257
The events of the game take place during a single night. Don't tell me you actually take more than 6 hours to finish the entire game. What are you? Retarded?
>>344245257
pollution, apocalyptic times and infiltration gravitate towards darkness
>>344248017
That doesn't even make sense because you fly around the world multiple times
>>344245257
Better for stealth.
Why is JC taking up arms against the National Science Foundation? Unless that's how Bob Page funded his AI work.
Night levels are the comfiest. What other games take place only at night? I know The Darkness is one.
>>344249157
In a single night
>>344249714
The talking black helicopter is fast
OH MY GOD JC
>>344245257
Think someone mapped it out and showed that it was only day while traveling and I think at one point where you were underground.
>>344245257
play HR.
MD also has some daytime missions.
>>344248017
any other games that do this? I know re4 does.
>>344250051

Prince of Persia (the old original) takes place in a single realtime hour
>>344250407
Pretty sure it does not.
>>344250051
I love the passing of time in Re4. That first day, that first night, that jetski ride at dawn
fine ass shit right there
>>344249828
>>344250051
Metal Gear Solid does this.
>>344248017
There's a newspaper you can read in Paris that talks about how the events of Liberty Island happened in the past week.
>>344245257
Coz it's cyberpunk maaaan GET IT.
>>344250612

What the sidescroller?
Or The Sands of Time?

The 2D platformer (it never scrolled, sideways or otherwise)
>>344254415
You know what I meant, pedant.
the world needs more cyberpunk vidya
>cyberpunk setting
>daylight
pick one, you are lucky it isn't raining throughout the entire game to really drive home the edgy sickdark tone that cyberpunk games seem to love
>>344254727
cyberpunk has nothing to do with daytime
>>344254604
>>344254563
no, not really. That's why I clarified and added a picture, to make sure we're not thinking of different games.
>>344249970
HR is completely awful compared to this.
>>344250732
Yes, VTMB does all take place during a single night.
>>344255249
>a late generation childer grows stronger than the local camarilla prince in a single night and singlehandedly kills a werewolf
What flavor of blood was that little shit on?
>>344255565
caine's "fuck you guys gehenna is happening soon" blood
ib4 actually the cab driver isnt caine blah blah blah
>>344249530
he was tricked
>>344245257
Thanks to faggots like you we will have daytime missions in MD
>>344249550
Bloodlines
>>344249324
Reminds me of the first Splinter Cell where you infiltrate the CIA and they apparently keep all their lights on a dimmer switch set to the minimum.
>>344249157
That's not even the worst part.
I checked it, and it's impossible for a helicopter to have reached Hong Kong from New York before JC would have died from his killswitch unless it traveled supersonic, which it can't.
>>344250051
Lots of Horror games and Castlevania do, usually the eternal kind.
There's actually this really jarring level in Rondo of Blood where it's the middle of the day. It's just funny seeing skeletons prancing around in Summer weather.
>>344261941
Almost 16 hours by passenger jet. Maybe stealth choppers can do slightly slower in the future? Doesn't he have 24 hours to get there and have it turned off?
>>344263074
He has less than 23 when he leaves New York. When he gets to Hong Kong Jock says his kill switch is 12 hours old. The game is therefore saying he got there in less than 11 hours.
>>344245257
There's several that happen during the day. JC just always wears sunglasses.
>>344263340
Oh shit. Jock has a seriously quick chopper. Maybe it's a hybrid jet/chopper that can go supersonic?
>>344245257
because

>>344263497
I don't think that's physically possible.
>>344255114
oh. okay. don't enjoy games then I guess.
>>344254727
wargames takes place in the day.
and the fucking opening of blade running is in the morning. so....
yeah.
>>344263725
But I do enjoy games anon, just not mediocre ones.
All they had to do was ape the original, but they've managed to fuck even that up.
>>344249157
Deus ex is not modern day
They have vtols that can clock very high speeds
>>344263896
The original did not have good gameplay, by modern standards.
Just on that alone HR is already got a leg up on DX. Story is more....subdued/realistic than DX; I guess if you were expecting more Alex Jones-style crap like in DX you might be disappointed but I wasn't.
>>344263970
Still doesn't cover the Hong Kong plot hole.
A chopper can't go supersonic.
Wasn't there a curfew? Plus JC was on the run so it would be a bad idea for him to be very visible.
>>344264038
Check out this retard.
>>344264038
But HR has much worse gameplay.
It's a pretty bad stealth game and a pretty mediocre shooter.
No melee weapons, only shitty cinematic takedowns. It penalizes you for playing creatively thanks to the retarded system that awards experience points for kills and not being seen/not triggering an alarm. When you fuck up in Deus Ex you're not forced to reload, you get a chance to salvage the situation. When you fuck up in HR F6 it is.
Even the areas are pretty dull - almost without change you get stuck in very samey looking rooms with a couple dudes patrolling around. No fun and interesting levels like Paris catacombs, Ocean base and similar. Just yellow tinted rooms.
>>344249714
Which makes even less sense. When it is night in New York it is not night in Hong Kong.
From Paul's defection to the deactivation of the kill switch might take place in a single night.
>>344250051
Half Life 1 does this, right?
>>344263896
okay I'll bite
what's "wrong" with HR?
>>344264504
No melee, "press X to awesome," stealth cover.
>>344264092
That's just what MJ12 wants you to believe.
>>344264403
more or less. more like a day and a half.
>>344264504
It would be easier to just ask what was right with it.
>>344264582
>No melee,
so?
>"press X to awesome,"
so?
>stealth cover.
so?
>>344264504
No melee, takedowns, forcing you to play a certain way because retarded XP system, augs being all passive except cloak and run silent (remember DX1 and 12 aug slots you could use manually in any combination?), hacking being a mandatory free millions of credits and 10 levels minigame, dull environments and a comparatively boring story.
I'm sure I forgot a lot of other things.
>>344248017
>6 hours
Why does HowLongToBeat report 24 hours?
>>344264698
If you "so" any more, I might confuse you with a farmer.
>>344264752
..............is that it? nitpicking.
most of those aren't even flaws.
>>344264309
>Pretty bad stealth game
If this is your definiton of a bad stealth game then the original should be the worst stealth game ever.
HR is no FEAR but the weapon handling is actually pretty good (that revolver mmmm so powerful). DX's shooting mechanics were ass even for the day.
I do miss the melee weapons though.
The FEMA facility, Picus, and Tai Yong are standouts in HR. There was supposed to be more level variety but they basically cut half the game because they suck at coding and wasted an absurd amount of time getting basic shot to work.
>>344264698
and?
>>344248017
That´s fucking bullshit and you know it. Don't tell me you actually think that. What are you? Retarded?
>>344264092
WHAT IF IT WAS AIRWOLF
>>344261941
> it's impossible for a helicopter to have reached Hong Kong from New York before JC would have died from his killswitch
No it is not, the killswitch isn´t instant or precise and paul also resisted its effects.
>>344265036
>muh gunport shooting mechanics
Terminate yourself immediately.
hong kong is terrible. why was I lied to?
>>344263817
how is wargames cyberpunk?
We're talking about the burger computer, right?
>>344254192
Sands of Time took place over two days or something, if you ignore the prologue.
The Persian army arrives in the sultan's palace at morning, the prince reaches the zoo at night and the vizier's tower on the morning of the next day. He and pharah spend the night on the catacombs beneath the tower, and he escapes the catacombs on thedaybreakof the next day.
Then the prince plunges the dagger into the hourglass, returning to the past, making the time only about 10 minutes.

>11 hour flight
A chopper cannot fly from New York to Hong Kong in 11 hours.
>>344264752
>forcing you to play a certain way because retarded XP system
It does not, the amount of praxis you get from enemies in total is about 10% of the total, it really does not matter if you get the whole 10% or just 2% for murdering everyone as messy and as noisy as you can.
>>344265209
How is it a good thing the shooting is DX was shit?
>>344264989
nice dad joke. ;)
>>344265084
a sequel shouldn't be compared to it's predecessors anyhow. that only leads to disappointment. you might receive gold, but because it's not diamonds you throw it away. pretty dumb.
it's no wonder most sequels play it safe and stagnate and die.
>>344265440
I didn´t claim that the 11 hours were realistic, only that the killswitch obviously does not work as intended, as pauls survival attests to.
That being the case, the chopper can indeed reach hong kong in time, since the estimated time is wrong.
Before he "should" have died from their estimations, sure.
>>344265498
Can you say even a single thing to back that up?
>>344265789
Given no one talks about the killswitch failing or not working correctly, rather than assume that in order to preserve the game's undeserved 10/10 reputation I'm going to keep calling it a plot hole.
>>344265506
it's not. I cheated to max out all my skills from the start. much more fun. I recommend everyone new to it do that.
>>344265993
I use GMDX. Cheating feels wrong.

>>344266052
I used both.
also, shame you can't really remove the dragon tooth sword. such a cheap pos.
>>344250051
Bloodborne takes place from late afternoon through the rest of the night. You can go back to early areas later in the game and see them at different stages of nighttime too, it's great.
>>344266238
it's BB really that great?
liked DaS but never finished it.
>>344266203
They really didn't think that oen trough, especially as the sword wasn't necessary to the plto just felt like weapons porn for the sake of itself. The triads could simply have been fighting over the Red Arrow head's assassination (which they kind of were, but for some reason the sword was more important than the for no discernable reason) and you showed them the evidence you found in Chow's apartment to show it was a setup.
>>344245257
Cyberpunk and neo-noir are all about nighttime
Since DX is cyberpunk neo-noir it would be criminal to have any of it take place during the day
