New Game Plus a super huge let down.

[Mel Gibson]

I was so excited to finish the game and finally play the game from the start as the OP jedi I wanted to be. Only to find out that none of the abilities I unlocked are available and that it's the exact same as the first playthrough only I get an inquisitor outfit (yaaaaaaay).

Do the devs honestly not understand why we wanted New Game Plus? Do they not understand the concept is to retain you're current level of unlocks and abilities and play the game from scratch as a more powerful version? Or are they just really lazy and felt forced to do new game plus so they made a cheap china version that required no re-coding outside of their outfit switch and color of light saber. I mean jesus guys. And not only that but they don't allow us to skip cutscenes on second playthrough???? You gotta be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ kidding me. Just for that i'm down voting this game. Idiots.

Sucks, would've been nice to have a NG+ with all of your progression carried over but a massive spike in enemy difficulty.

It wouldn't make sense for a game like this to have NG+ because if you do, you can literally skip around 15 hours of game.

Do YOU not understand that the way this game's progression works, if you had ALL of your powers, there would literally be no point in playing, as probably half the game would be entirely skipable? What could you possibly have to gain from that?

Just enjoy the mediation battles, and the new journey plus that lets you keep your cosmetics

What could we gain from that? Fun. That's what we can gain from that.

@Mel Gibson:
In the meantime, I eventually managed to decrypt, modify and re-encode the save file format. You can enjoy a "True" New Journey+ with those couple saves (slot 5):

The "Fully Unlocked" version will give you absolutely everything from the start. Your story progression WILL be a mess, but perfectly playable, and you shouldn't get stuck.

The "Partially Unlocked" version will only give you the double-bladed saber, split attacks, combat skills and Health/Force Essences. You'll still have to unlock force powers, BD1 Upgrades and traversal equipment through normal story progression. Pick this if you want to preserve story progression.

Thanks for the info mate! I'll give it a shot.

What could you possibly gain from playing the exact same game the exact same way twice? Use your own logic on what you're saying.
