so basically the Die Hard of games, I like that stuff for some reason. I guess MGS 1 and the older Metal Gears qualify (and MGS 2 even though it uses 2 places with 2 different protags but the same spirit remains). Half Life would qualify if it weren't for Xen. The Shock games do. What more games follow this trope?

Devil May Cry mostly takes place on that small but somehow hueg island.

Die hard 3 doesn't take it's place in one place, but ironically it has mentions of Clinton and trump.

I would say most roguelikes or roguelites fit the bill. You're traveling through some tower or dungeon complex to the top/bottom.

SpecOps kinda feels like that. It takes place in a whole city, but it's closed off and has that weird claustrophobic feel.

Also, Arkham series, especially Asylum.

All Castlevania games happen within the castle.

Also Mario 2 because it's all a dream and Mario had been staying in bed all along, I suppose.

Are there any games set in a single municipality, which accurately depict the size and scale of a municipality? I find that most media really underestimates how large everything is.

I feel like Half-Life (minus Xen) is pushing it, given how large Black Mesa is. But in a similar vein there is Area 51. Entire game takes place in Area 51.

In the Metal Gear franchise, there is definitely MGSV:GZ.

Seconding Koudelka.

Nemeton monastery is full of zombies, mummies, ghosts and eldritch horrors. If you are tired of the same "power of friendship" cliche in most modern JRPGS I suggest you give this game a try since the 3 main characters all hate each other.

The game is a bit rough around the edges since it tries to be both a survival horror and a JRPG though, but it's only around 10-12 hours long and it's not very difficult.

I think LA Noire has more realistically sized LA than most games, even if it's only set in a portion of it. Because it's not a GTA type game there's not much there to do, but I spent more hours just driving around it with the hidden cars than I should have.

>I find that most media really underestimates how large everything is.

That is true even when you're not talking about big cities. Take something like Fatal Frame 2.

>Takes place in a tiny village lost in the mountains

>So remote they don't have electricity in modern times kind of tiny

>We are told that the four biggest families rule over the town

>The four houses of these families, one shack and one shrine on a hill are the entirety of the game map

Not even any inaccessible houses in the distance or anything. It's literally all there is.

They don't crash a plane with no survivors until Die Hard 2.

True Crime: NYC I believe it's a 1:1 reproduction of Manhattan. The map sure feels huge and even with the mainly grid street layout of Manhattan it's easy to get lost.


a048c8  No.15583311

>>15582728

Sounds realistic to me, at most 3 more shacks. Lack of understanding the semantics between a town and a village is about the only real problem there is.


5f09f5  No.15583337

>>15583311

The problem isn't the scale of the village, it's that the backstory of the place clearly states that there are four biggest families who take care of the sacred rituals. They're the most important dogs in town and are basically their equivalent to both nobility and clergy. Yet, in the actual game, their four houses form the entirety of the village.

I want to say Mario 64, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's actually some lore to it that says the paintings don't actually contain worlds, but are portals to places that exist in real life. Especially since some of them let you out of other parts of the castle.

However, Super Mario Bros. 3 all takes place on a stage. It looks like he's moving, but really the background is just scrolling behind him, just like it is in real life.

Dark Souls 3 takes mostly place around the castle, which you can see from any non DLC level. It reminds me of these Lego Racer sets which took place in this huge arena in a city built around a giant tower that was visible on each boxes, from each biome of the arena. Truly the Bionicles of cars.

Didn't that Spiderman game just come out with a 1:1 scale of Manhattan?

Again that's pretty accurate, I don't know how many tiny towns you've been too but that kind of disparity is something I fully expect. Just throw in like 3 more shacks and there you go.

>Luigi's Mansion

The best part of Luigi's Mansion is how consistent the whole place feels. Nothing feels too big or too small, you could really build the place in reality and other than ease of accessibility everything would make sense.

>>15583459

>I don't know how many tiny towns you've been too

A lot, actually, as my mother has an admiration for self-sufficiency that borders on fetishism. Moreover, you keep misinterpreting the problem as the impossibility of a village to be this tiny, when I'm telling you this is a contradiction in the setting of the game itself. The story the game tells just isn't suited for a four-house village.


a048c8  No.15583614

>>15583491

The only mistake I see is the story implying there is more then four families instead of just the four families and some other dudes who live miles away.


5f09f5  No.15583641

>>15583614

Precisely, the story calls for peasants, dozens of priests, enough lower-class people to warrant servant's quarters in every house in town, enough demand for toys so that one of the heads of the four main families is a doll-maker, enough criminals so that they can be sacrificed as blind wardens haunting the town's subterrean tunnels. And so on and so forth. I know villages can get as tiny as four houses. But Fatal Frame 2 calls for a much bigger settlement every step of the way.
