New Game (Journey) sucks.

They seriously gave us everything that's been asked for in these forums... DLC, red kyber crystal, unlocked LS colors, way more than I thought they'd ever just hand us. They said they left the skills locked because of game balance. That's a pretty generous patch, it's a bit harsh to say it sucks, don't you think

Respawn doesn’t know what they are talking about when they said they left the skills out cause of balance. Who cares about balance in a Singleplayer only Game? It’s not like it’s a multiplayer game. 🙄

@ResidentReconI agree. And these people replying saying oh the enemies will be too easy and the game would be too easy have never played a NG+ game. The point of NG+ is to be able to see what it would be like to start with your abilities, to be able to explore fully before continuing, to be able to play on very hard difficulties. Stop whining that cosmetics are enough. They didnt add NG+ they just added some cosmetics and that's it. They could've just done that in the normal game and you could've just restarted and it would be the exact same except now in a normal game restart there is more to do because all the chests are open in NG+. So a couple months of no updates to add a boring meditation arena and a simplistic cosmetic. They should've spent that time developing a good NG+ with your abilities, lightsabers and skills with a few changes to the story as well as adding a lot of new cosmetics that go into evil cal. Such as different designs to the inquisitor outfit and more evil looking lightsaber parts. This update is rushed and lazy. Dont give me the argument that it would break the game because that's literally what NG+ plus is. That's why it f*cking unlocks after you complete the bloody game.

The problem that I have with the whole thing is what a new game + implies. I have already beaten the game once. unlockables and chests were the reason for further exploration and now I look out onto the map and see chests that I cannot reach because I haven't unlocked the ability to obtain them but they're open anyway. I'll use arkham city as a reference for this. You beat the game and then you played new game+ and you felt like Batman, you were ready for anything. It didn't take away from the story you already played, it added to it. You were Batman you had the plan and all the gear you EARNED in your previous play through. You wanted to play the game on harder difficulties because you felt prepared and then you relished in things you forgot but werent hindered in the process of starting at square one. Some one here said that the developers didn't need to do anything for the game and that's true, but what they did in the update was add something that actually took away from your experience in the game. I would have rather started the game over at zero with the option of the challenges during meditation and nothing that I unlocked before, because now why would I explore the entirety of the world's they created I already did that and the new game+ reminds me I did so. The thing about a new game+ is that you have already EARNED the things you are using, it is unbalanced but for the best reasons. You EARNED the ability to be a jedi in the game, but with what they gave you it just feels like all you earned was to not open chests, start over, and absolutely don't leave the path.
