Gamers Question Whether New Game+ Ruins Replays
A player questions the appeal of starting replays already at max power.
TLDR
Gwen posted that she does not understand New Game+ because she prefers to replay games without carrying over endgame stats and abilities. Several replies noted that the mode remains optional and players can simply start a regular new game instead. One user cited Mega Man X8 where multiple playthroughs unlock shop items including broken weapons and extra characters. Another traced the feature to Chrono Trigger where it enabled alternate endings based on when the final boss is defeated. Additional replies stated that New Game+ targets players who enjoy replays and often adds new content or difficulty.

Bins@hakkevakke@SMGold_ I feel like the only real criticism of NG+ is not enough games so anything interesting with it past just the power fantasy aspect. More games should do what the Tales series does and put optional bosses or areas that are only possible to reach in NG+
EB Eee 2: Electric Boogaloo ☭@ba_doodle@RevolverJerm They complain about optional accessibility features ffs. "Ruins the immersion" but then they'll complain about a video game character not having D-cup or bigger boobs w/ weird jiggle physics & impractical armor
DE Dew@UltraLvckyGlrl@SMGold_ So many games lock content behind ng+ And even if they didn't why are we not allowed to discuss our opinions on anything optional anymore
RE RED16@red16lry9@RevolverJerm New game+ was a really cool feature why is he complaining
