Is it always night time in games for you too?

[Noon]

It’s always night time… when I load a save… when I complete a quest… beat up by hotdog costume people… aaaalways starts on night time…

Do you find that you just always land on something, like a “supposed to be random thing” that always spits the same result out?

Although… I think scientists would say that night time isn’t random…

In games or real life? For me it's a bit of both

Maybe it's a phenomenon? Or maybe it's just because I only play it when I'm just bored

 

[MasterEn]

what games are you playing?

I used to only be able to see the game at nighttime the first time I played Pokemon Silver, because school, homework and activities kept me from playing it til until very late at night.

Some games use night as an aesthetic choice, I suppose (like most NFS games for example, and it's better than the nuclear level sunglare from Undercover), but for games with real time clocks things can vary a lot. Night time can be dangerous in real life but always seemed more interesting than the alternative in games, for me.

Oh I love the nighttime in racing games, especially NFS Underground 2

It looks so ahead of it's time

Some fan made mods really spruce it up even more, looks even more current.

Aye. Nothing beats the atmosphere of a good driving game at night.

Underground 2 will always hold a special place in my heart

I think it's a little odd that up until FFXV I can only remember like 3 times the series allows you to play during the night time otherwise it's usually midday. I really like the woods in FFX and a shame I don't see mystical woods at night settings as much as I'd like. Could just be the territory of fantasy games having to rely on natural lighting most of the time. Xenoblade was a nice change of pace to break that up for me.

A lot of games would have benefitted from a day-night cycle to spruce things up and create variety. The same area can have a completely foreign feel depending on the time of day.

i used to have an lcd that was on a dim side (and i loved it for its colors and used it till it was thoroughly dead) and nightime in elder scrolls 3/4 could get really dark so i would always sleep through it when on the road, immersion level - over 9000
