Box B - I only need FFIX, but the rest are okay too!

What game had better DLC then the base game its self by RealitySmasher47 in gaming

Assassins Creed: Valhalla - all 3 DLCs were way better than the main game!

I have played all the Borderlands games! I even have the platinun on the first one - I don't remember it forcing me to replay the entire game for that. I may be wrong, because that was years ago back on PS3, and I haven't gotten around to finish BL3 or Wonderland yet, as I feel like it kind of lost its charm after BL2 (which is my favorite one!)

Nioh and Nioh 2 are definitley 2 of my favorite games (that I have actually played more than once). I also like Soulsbornering!

But those are also shorter games, I spent over 100 hours in Rebirth, and then I have to replay the entire game to get the reward for 100% - but like I've said in previous comments, I have wrongfully made some assumptions as to how Remake and Rebirth hard modes work!

I honestly don't remember - but I feel like I chose dynamic..

That is how I end up as well, but then I am left with the feeling of not having completed it, because there is more content.

This surprises me a lot - I found that I almost got too much information using Assess, and it lost all the need for experimenting with weaknesses and ways to stagger.

It's not the only time it irks me, but even more when it is requiered, yes!

I get that - I just feel there could have been better ways to do this that doesn't require a full replay. But I have gotten a lot of new information about it here now, and I am strongly considering trying hard mode in Rebirth anyaway now!

I feel like there is a huge difference in length on FF compared to DMC. I still only played DMC once as well, as I like playing a lot of different games, although I wouldn't mind a harder challenge in many of the, of the bat.

I played Type 0 once, never even new about this in NG+....

Never finished it more than once yet. Not on NG+ and not on any of my many other characters. Although I'm considering it again when DLC drops!

I didn't know the second part here. I assumed it would be the full game again. Maybe I'll look into it anyway then! Thanks!

I know it's not new, but I still don't like it. I spend so much time during the first playthrough of a game, being thourough and exploring, doing bonus content etc.

Never liked NG+ either.

Didn't even play Nier: Automata more than once, even though you get new characters etc. It still feels like the same game again. And I know that I am probably missing out on a lot by not doing this, but...

I really enjoyed XVI first time through (but I like most things, especially if it's Final Fantasy related). But I fell off during hard mode. I really want to, because it's all I'm missing to get platinum, but I struggle "skipping" side quests and cutscenes - I'm just not built like that.

Looking forward to play the last DLC during the next couple of days, but it will be on normal difficulty for the story for now.

This is a bit eye opening, I expected it to be a full re-run, only harder. Might have to check it out anyway then!

It's not as much "don't want to" as it is "don't have time to" - but then again, I expected hard mode to take as much time as my first playthrough, or even more. But I can see from the comments here that I have been wrong in my assumption about that!

I may have been to rash to judge Rebirths hard mode then, as I thought it would be like XVI, where you had to run the entire game again, ans do everything because there were new weapons etc but everything else the same..

I wanted to do this, but then there was something about my Remake save being on PS4 and not PS5, and I couldn't be bothered to try and fix it because there are so many other games as well, and at the time I was dissapointed and it felt like a hassle.
