So the new game mode is... playing the game again?

[The A.W.G.]

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not bitter or anything, just curious.

A "new" game mode has been released and it consists of... playing the same game, with the same character? But with some new enemy variation here and there?

Doesn't really feel like a "new" game mode...

Please consider I have 120 hours in this game, and I'll probably have twice that playtime in a few months, because I'll play it from start to finish again for sure, because I freakin' love Dead Island 2 and I want to make sweet sweet love to it under a war starry night.

But you CAN'T call this a "new" game mode.

End of rant (against the concept of NG+, not the game), see you in Hell-A.

Uhmmm what about Neighborhood watch ? Has new characters. new map and new game mode ,

[Billie Lurk]

Neighborhood Watch new game mode. mostly for co-op;

[The A.W.G.]

Yeah, I'm not talking about that. Evidently.
I was talking about how the NG+ mode is being advertised as a new game mode.
My English is not perfect but I've read it again and it was quite clear, really.

What get New Game Plus.
- Increase Level caps
- More difficulty level
- New weapons and skills
- New zombies

[Sharkon]

I like good NG+ modes. can't tell if this is a good one yet but it's there now so...alright I guess?

Neighborhood Watch, well it's free and I don't need it. it comes without the 3 required friends to play online and makes it pretty much useless for me that way.

It's what NG+ means.
It doesn't mean 'this is a new game'
It means you play the game from the start (new game) plus you have your existing level etc

[colours (⌐■_■)]

Yes, but what about we just go kill all the zombies instead of talking about it?

[Metro]

literally what NG+ has always been in the video game world. ._.

exactly.

NG+ means "Play again mode". This applies to all video games in the industry if you are new to it.

Well deserved jesters, genuine, non bait, clown

This is a super bad take imo.

NG+ modes, when done right, add so much replay ability to already great games. Imo if you love Dead island 2 as much as you claim (which I do as well) you should be happy that you can further push your characters/builds to higher levels, with new challenges to overcome.\

From my knowledge there are new weapons, new enemies, new cards,....etc adn that is what NG+ modes should be instead of the usual buffing enemies health/damage.

[Billie Lurk]

Check underground parking at Galperin hotel guys))) (in NG+)

Better to have a new game plus + rather than sitting on 6 cleared playthroughs with nothing to do
Te catch however is that you can do NG+ only once instead of endlessly like any other game that has NG+ which is baffling

now that's sad, really.
