This is one of my top game design gripes. Areas with clear time sensitivity should have little to no nooks and crannies. The FOMO of wanting to search is so immersion breaking. Looting, prep, and save points are all fine. Taking attention away from the urgency isn't.

If there isn’t an actual timer, how urgent can it really be? If they really wanted you to hurry there would be a clock! 😉

Holy crap this is one of my biggest frustrations! 2 paths. Idk which one triggers the cutscene. I pick the one that does by mistake. If it's an autosave game that doesn't let you load previous saves... Uuuuuugh I've literally restarted a game at least once because of it

If as a player we're sat there going "Oh but what about the loot and the side quests" there's plenty of avenues of thought; • Is this an allegory about greed or perfectionism? • Should there be a narrative time limit at all? • Should the game balance be adjusted to suit the limit?

Some games are honest, while others blatantly lie in a vain attempt to establish dramatic tension. - One does not search every cranny during the final mission of Halo CE, because the timer is real... unless, of course, one is willing to lose, for the sake of finding the Easter egg.

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this post. It's the only time-sensitive event in Human Revolution that doesn't come with a timer, just the usual "you gotta do this" dialogue. It turned my expectations of HR on its head, but then they never used the concept again from what I recall.

Of course! On top of that, you leave prisoners caged or shackled until you loot the entire place That, or you loot every home you find in the game, WHILE the people are casually conversing.

The best is when you do a bunch of side quests only to find those would have been easier by doing the main mission.

I'm playing SW Jedi Survivor and there's a point where the empire is about to attack a safehouse and likely to kill everyone there. at that very moment the game opens a large map with ~5h of side content... suffice it to say, everyone in the safehouse died...

I think the only game I've ever played where thenurgency was critical to the level was Dark Forces II on a level where you're stuck on a star ship plummeting to the ground. But even if you stand around and do nothing it does take a funny amount of time before it actually hits.

Sounds like the Final Fantasy trope of rushing to save the world... but FIRST! Lets get our tents out to go camping and rest up before the fight! Or in the early games where they first BUILT A COTTAGE that they slept in and pulled down before continuing 🤣

I would so rather have that than being held hostage by narrative urgency, especially in an open world RPG. Give the character a break - constant crisis is just cheap.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Because if you DO finish the main quest too quickly you CAN lock yourself out of completing some side stuff. Lame. But good replay technique.

This is something that the Metroid games pretty much nails every time. There's no incentive to explore if there's a time limit, and sometimes the places you're running through in order to clear the timer have nothing of note to distract you with. (or you already picked those things up on the way)

Every once in a while, I like when games enforce that urgency. Closest example to yours in mind is the first hostage mission in Deus Ex Human Revolution. Pretty rare in my experience though.

This is why I really appreciate when games have sections where it actually is time urgent, that feels natural (instead of just a clock), and it's streamlined so you don't have distractions. Chef's kiss

The urgent world-impacting quest that can be put off indefinitely, one of my biggest game pet peeves. Especially when it’s not necessary! (Looking at you Cyberpunk.) And especially when the game triggers other quests that you won’t be able to do later after that urgent quest. (CYYYYBERRRRPUUNNNKKKK)
