NG+ coming September 13th & 2 new difficulties. Also adds multiple new trophies.

[LazyJournalist]

The only thing that should worry us on this moment - do we need to make two separate playthroughts to get Hard 2 and Survival 2 trophies. I really don't get, what the differences between both difficulties.

What's up with these NG+ trophies patched in after the release?

[Fr_0zt]

When will it end!? ?

All these free updates and no microtransactions? Need to get back into this game and finish it, bought it Day One to show my support but I got distracted

Just ignore them. There are a core bunch of people on here who complain over everything. Games with easy platinums... Games with hard platinums... Games adding trophies after release...

 

If your immediate reaction to seeing that a game is getting free content is "but this is going to ruin my trophy percentage," then you need to seriously reevaluate your investment in trophy hunting, because it's likely become unhealthy. To put it another way: when the fun stops, stop.

Always love when someone shows up to tell me i'm playing my game wrong.

you still have to beat Hard 2 and Survival 2 mode, ridiculous.

 

You don't have to do anything you do not want to.

First of all, the idiots who wanted new game + are the same idiots who didn't realize there is a Survival Mode. They already forced us trophy hunters into playing the game twice (80+ hours). Now they want us to play through 2 more times? Another 80+ hours for the same story and we already know how it ends. This is an absolute waste of time as we have other games we want to get to. Hard 2 mode and Survival 2 mode. I mean, I was pissed at the bike challenges but now, this makes me even more pissed.

And which part of that is me telling you that you're playing a game wrong?

I dunno, maybe the part where you state I need to evaluate why i'm playing my game because I have an interest in my percentage. Or in other words that I should not even worry about my percentage and just play the game. Which is the same tired rhetoric that people always show up to express whenever someone makes mention of a tedious dlc or trophy. My priorities are different from yours, so you insinuate that I need to change them.

It's not confirmed yet that we'll need 2 playtrhroughs. For now it's just a rumors. I think that would be extremely stupid as both difficulties would be available from the start, according to the PS blog, which means you don't need to unlock them. Which also means, why do we need to complete game on easier difficulty if we already managed to finish it on hardest one, right?

I really hope it's not 2 additional playthroughs. If it takes 1 to unlock both, then it won't be as bad. I'll just stick to the story missions and skip the side missions, hordes, infestation zones & marauder camps to speed it up

„New Game Plus can be started from any save game where the “I’m Never Giving Up” storyline has been completed. You can play NG+ on any difficulty level; Easy, Normal, Hard, Survival, or try it in one of our two new difficulty modes: Hard II and Survival II, regardless of the previous difficulty mode. These new difficulty modes are not specific to NG+ and can be experienced by brand-new players as well.“ 

 

this is the whole statement from the blog. for me it looks like you can start ng+ on survival II mode from the beginning.

[Fr_0zt]

Here we go.... ?

[KaiserVendrix]

You know what? It's been a trend recently to throw up NG+ in games that have been out for months. I hate this, as a trophy hunter sure but more so as just a gamer. People are gonna say "it's free so nothing to complain about" but this just shows me and many others how bloody unfinished games are nowadays. I hate the mindset of "it will be patched later" it's just lazy! NG+ shouldn't be a feature that is added in at a later date, it should come when you buy the game. It's been in games for years but no they would rather rush it out so they can get payed and just "patch" it in later. Rant over.

Correct. But does this mean we'll automatically receive trophy for Hard 2 as well after beating game on Survival 2? That's the main question. Logically, that's how it would (should) be. Guess, we'll find out some info after the launch. Dev's are not very communicative on both FB and Twitter, so we need to wait anyway

 

Edit: managed to get some kind of an answer from Bend Studio. That's what they said: " Only one trophy is tied to beating the game on Hard 2 and Survival 2 "

Well that's good to hear. One more play though, with all my upgrades and patches should only take about 20 hours. Hopefully the difficulty for these new modes is not dumb. Survival was pretty easy, only challenge it gave me was getting lost from lack of a constant minimap.

I still don't see any mention of me saying that you're playing a game wrong. Please refrain for misrepresenting what I said in future.

There is no misrepresentation when I am responding to the implication of your post, hence why I used words like Insinuate. But sure, play dumb. That works as well. 

[panikooooos]

It's pretty clear that this shitty trend is catching on. Devs know their flavor of the month game will be forgotten in 2 weeks so what they do to try and keep it relevant is shit like this. Oh hey guys NG+ this month you can't miss it! Oh hey guys NG++ this month! etc etc. People saying "free content" are the epitome of naivety. More like free publicity. But hey who am I to judge keep playing Days Gone till 2020 when NG++++ Deluxe Survival Hardcore gets released ??

[SnizelPS]

I dunno how I feel about needing to beat the game 3 more times (haven't beaten it on Survivor yet).

I guess I'll do it when I have no games to play.

If they're adding NG+ then I guess I can finish my 1st playthough on normal. Just hope that survival+ stacks for all previous difficulties lol

[VegaTheGreat]

This is ridiculous.

 

Want NG+999? Sure.

Don't tie the f@k1n3 thing to trophies.
