  1. I don't think NG+ needs to die, but game companies need to figure out just what it means and what shit should carry over, and most importantly they need to ask and then answer "Why should one do a NG+?". In my opinion only one game has done NG+ Perfectly: Chrono Trigger. The game offers 13 (DS version has one extra) different endings (there's also a unique one if you fail to defeat the final boss). Some of these are only accessible and/or highly recommended on a NG+ run. For example you can fight the final boss at the very beginning of the game only in NG+ for a 1v1 or even as a 2v1 seeing as you get your first party member at the start of the game. Most things carry over, levels, items, equipment, weapons, etc. The only thing(s) that don't are key items, which includes story based items/weapons. The enemies/bosses are the same, so yes you'll wipe the floor as op gods, but at least you can focus on getting all the different endings.

     

    See to me, NG+ should have something, like a super boss that doesn't feel like that it could have been beaten on the first playthrough, an extra dungeon or 20, unique endings, something worthwhile that's NG+ exclusive. Now let's look at a game that, IMO, does it bad: Borderlands 2

     

    So, your weapons, items, levels, etc carry over, off to a great start. However, the enemies/bosses are harder, and match your levels. What. You've got to be shitting me. I might as well just do a regular new game. What's my incentive to do NG+? An optional boss where recommended/max level is 50? Why not have him be an optional boss at the end of the first playthrough, and have the recommended level be at 30? You know the level you're going to be around when you beat the game the first time? Really, the only incentive is to get to max level, that's basically it. The optional boss is fine, just give us something to care about. Give us an incentive.

  2. A brilliant asshole. Let me guess, the boss is tough as fuck, requires the best of the best, one minor screw up means that attempt is ruined and he takes hours to beat, right?

     

    OT: Arkham Knight 2nd playthrough, unless you count dipping my toes in NG+ to see what it's like.

  3. Fuck this lack of water. How are we supposed to wash the dishes and take showers,huh? HUH?!

    I'm NOT going to stand for this. Desperate times calls for desperate measures.

    It's garbage day!

    Ugh, speaking of garbage, someone's been putting garbage in our recycling bin at work (do note, I take care of the garbage on Monday mornings, and even in my tired state, I've never put the garbage in recycling). Because of this, the recycling people wont take our bin, so we need to transfer the garbage (and recycling) to the garbage bin. That shit's nasty.
