How to play in day time 24/7 (PS4/XBONE)

Okay guys, If you have already beaten the story to Mirrors Edge Catalyst then you should be well aware of the bizarre day and night cycle. Day time is very short and night time feels like it lasts forever. The day time changes as you run and i'm sure plenty of you have realized that by now because you can see the shadow of buildings move as you run. I really like how day time looks in the game and Ive grown very tired of how the map looks at night time. If you are like me and love day time in Mirrors Edge Catalyst then here is a way to get the game to be day time 24/7. I'm well aware of how bad this game is but I have waited 4 years for the release so now that it is finally out i have been playing it non stop meaning I beat the story several times and by doing that I noticed that main/side missions have set times so some will be at night and some will be in day but until you beat the whole story, Depending on what missions your between it could stay night or day forever until you proceed to the next mission. Once you beat the whole story you unlock the day and night cycle. So, What I recommend if you like to play in the day time is to start a new save and play all the way up to the VIVE LA RESISTANCE main mission and then complete that mission and do not play anymore missions, That way it stays day time forever while you free roam. Now I know a lot of you are probably thinking this is really **** and i feel you but this is for devoted players who are still playing this game and free roaming after they have beat the story (If there even is anyone out there still playing this game besides me.) The story is very short, I have beaten it four times and it only takes me about 5-6 hours tops if you skip the cutscenes so just play the whole game through once to experience the terrible story and then start a new save and complete Vive La Resistance and you will have full free roam in day time allowing you to have all the parkour moves and gadgets unlocked allowing you to fully experience the great parkour mechanic that is in Mirrors Edge Catalyst. You may not have all the combat perks but who cares about that right? the combat is terrible and fighting is such a hassle that it just makes you want to run away anyway. This will also stop you from unlocking certain runner kits but I've been playing this game since launch and because of the bad reviews not so many people are buying it and i'm not seeing any user created content on the map so that shouldn't even matter. I can totally understand if you feel that this idea is dumb but right now it's the only way to play in day time 24/7 and if you don't want to play in the day time all the time then ignore this post and beat the story to unlock the full day and night cycle. I doubt they will release a patch fixing the day and night cycle but theres always hope. Thank you for reading this post and if you tried this but are still running into problems then please comment and let me know, I visit the Mirrors Edge Catalyst forums very often so your comment well definitely be read by me.
