NG+ is disappointing

[Pandemic]

I love the game and i had a lot of fun playing it. but starting a NG+ was disappointing for me...you are not able to skip cutscenes, starting without any skills, enemies have same HP/damage. you will only carry cosmetics. there is no good reason to do a NG+ imo.
I wish it would be like dark souls.

what do you think?

I have to agree with you because it really is disappointing despite the fact that it was free update because something free doesn't necessarily a amazing thing. I got excited with the last update and I played the game again but to be honest , the fact that you have to collect stims , echos for XP to get back your skills back all over again AANND you can't skip cutscenes is lame. I stopped playing and uninstalled once I got wanted achievements and did some challenges (I think it's the only part of the update I liked a lot among the inquisitor cal set with red lightsaber).

Also have to agree. I hope in future updates they add some more rewarding add-ons to play, something players will consider paying actual money for. For me, I hope they add a DLC of some sort to continue the story.

Starting over with all skills would be far too OP.

Even the hardest setting is extremely easy.

I mean, you have to go through NG+ in order to access the other added content, so no. I disagree entirely. To add to that, the core gameplay mechanics are based on progression as you slowly get new force powers. Full force powers in NG+ would, quite literally, break the game.

WRONG. I could access the new content at meditation after finish the compaign without starting NG + . Knowing that it's strongly recommended to do the challenges when you got most of the skills as possible I think it's a good point to do them here and you can switch difficulty as your wish. Cal inquisitor you need to play NG +. So basically it's kinda a false NG + . Let's be honest here I loved the game but i'm defintely not gonna say that everything is great . NG + is a huge letdown the game wasn't designed to get NG + because if we could keep upgrades it would be a walk in the park but maybe make the ennemies scale at least enough to be threat and add new moves or making XP gain give something else as boost for later game . They clearly had no plans for a real NG + but they still tried to deliver something since people really wanted it. I can't blame them but I can't say it is what will bring me play the game again. Basically NG + offers cosmetics xD considering I could access all new challenges after I beat the main compaign.

They'll just make Jedi Fallen Order 2 be way more sandbox and feature rich to convince you to buy like any other gaming company.

About the only thing you get from not raiding those box's is your time in-game is cut way back.

It also seemed like I picked up skill points faster. But in fact not true, my stats are still the same no matter what mode I play.

agreed the only reason to do NG+ is to gain access to the combat arena which sucks....should just be unlocked automatically.

You are NOT meant to have all the powers from the start. Yes this is correct and it WILL ruin the intention of the game. BUT, this i exactly what NJ+ does and means. You have EVERYTHING from the beginning so you are much much stronger. I really enjoyed the game and how you progress in it but i was VERY dissapointed in NJ+

I feel like it should have been done like this.

Choosing NJ+ on the menu or in an old save starts a new run.

In NJ+ you have access to the meditation training and all cosmetics. You also keep your skills to an extent. Any skill that requires push, pull, or the double blade remains locked until you get that ability in the story. All other skills are unlocked automatically once you access the skill tree at the first save point on Bogano, this way you can do the meditation challenge at your base level for an extra challenge.

Push, Pull, Jedi Flip, Double Blade, Split, Wall Claws, Stim Crates, and all BD-1 upgrades still need to be collected.

Force Echoes and scans are still available and give you XP. Instead of spending XP on skills, you can choose to spend it on additional HP, Force, or Attack Power. Each tree requires 1 skill point at first, but the cost grows the more you spend on one tree. Meaning after 3 upgrades of Attack Power and nothing else, the cost will be 4 SP to raise attack again, but still 1 SP for the other two options.

Like in the Souls games, in NG+ cycles enemies get more HP and attack power. Which along with the meditation training is the incentive for getting additional XP.

Choosing to go into NJ+ after NJ+, will put you into NJ+2, where enemy health and power increases further.

I wanted NG+, but what they gave was NJ+. They were careful to not call it "New Game Plus". They did something, but did not grasp why people wanted NG+. You see, I do not want to have to search for things anymore, after I did it once. I do not find this type of thing to be fun. Now while I do not have to search for "cosmetic" content, I still have to search for stim canisters, and echos which means I STILL have to search every nook and cranny, and so it was a pointless exercise on their part.
They could have still gave us powers accordingly, so the story still makes sense, but don't make me search, and level up my character again.
Also, let me fast travel back to my ship at any point on the map, as some of these maps are silly long, with multiple levels that do not seem to link up logically.

You guys just keep saying until they cant stay still and give us more DLC ...:D LOL

You dont have to do NG+ to get the new content. The only content you get from playing NG+, is Inquisitor Cal.

When you start a NG+ game you can use the inquisitor skin right from the start? Atleast thats what i did.

Or did you mean something else?
