Does this seem like something worth waiting for? I was looking to grab while it's on sale and get a quick Platinum before the deluge of 24 releases hits.

Is something like this generally difficult to implement? 'Cause I was kinda buffaloed that they didn't launch with it.

Probably depends on the game. For the Saints Row series it's somewhat well known from the devs themselves for games after SR2 that it would be a huge pain in the ass to implement NG+ due to how the game handles world states.

It was definitely a surprise hit of last year. Ymmv like all things but the reception to it before and after the demo came out was a pretty amazing change.

No, get it now. Everyone loved it and those who have finished it (not me) were champing at the bit for this mode.

I know this is a typo but please don't change it becowse it's hilarious.

As OP states it seems like it might be ok.

There's one achievement you can kind of screw yourself with but the game has a soft chapter select by making separate save games for ever single chapter (every game should let you have this!) so you can get those chapter specific achievements later if you missed any.

Oh man, when I discovered this I was amazed. I also wish more games did this by default. The fact it still let's you do your own saves at the same time is a masterstroke.

41.99 for standard and 48.99 for the Alex Murphy edition looks like.

Not for me but I can see why people would want it with how substantial the final upgrades are and how long it takes to get them.

Also I assume you can't get all the upgrades in one playthrough, right? I'm over halfway though and feel like I'm only at 30%.

Hell yeah, I'm good for another run.

Looking forward to all the fresh maxed-out NG+ players running into trouble with the exploding dam mission, if they didn't the first time.

Yep. I prioritized the "get extra XP" perks and did all the side stuff and I think I was about 75%, maybe.
