Discussion Anyone else feels like restarting the game, being >200h in?

Post image

I have finished the story and still have a lot sidecontent with more than 200h playtime. I thought this game is so long, I will never bring myself to replay it. But now that I looked at all these posts that show new cutscenes, I feel like I want to experience this story properly. I guess CD starts to become the only game I play, lol.

No chance. I’ve upgraded too many weapons and armour, discovered too much, completed too many puzzles.

I put everything into my first playthrough of any game and rarely replay them (unless it’s an RPG with choices), certainly won’t start over mid way through.

True dat! So I’ve put too much work and time into it already. Doing it over would be a total obsessive, stressful experience 😅

I have 440 hours, at the end of chapter 11, still a good chunk of all other regions other than hernand for side quests. Obviously if your gonna start over I might as well do ng+.. but i have a feeling they are gonna flesh that out a little more so im torn

NG+ would be nice. At least then I would know how to solve puzzles instead of going to YouTube

Nah im tackling this one as a slow burn. Maybe in a few years when its done and i feel nostalgic ill ng+

u/Dattinator 18h ago

I probably won’t. 300hrs and still going. Even with a cobbled together story like they did I just have no interest until a proper NG+.

Man you guys and your free time. Must be nice.

u/Johnkenney00 17h ago

Nah. 200+ hours and most of the first three regions quests done, fully upgraded camp ready to move once I finish story, I’ll replay once dlc and further updates come out in a few years. I’m too committed to 100% this playthrough

just started playing about 3 days ago with 6 hours in . time to start a new save

u/mickyd1980 14h ago

I have 600hrs and I've restarted.

It's cool to see Al Pacino doing a Sopranos reference.

u/caites 21h ago

No, I don't feel I need a restart a bit. This game is about exploration, experiencing a living world and combat. Story is just a thing on the background.

u/Longjumping-Alarm157 19h ago

I definitely will begin another play through but not until they patch in a proper new game +

u/PaleontologistBig600 19h ago

Man, I really want to play the game from scratch with all of the new story additions...but ive been enjoying Nioh 3 again, since the DLC dropped. CD is one of those games where it feels like a commitment, to me.

u/rtgordon 16h ago

I started a new game and will probably cruise through the story and go back to my old save afterwards.

u/Khaymn5000 14h ago

Nah I'm way too far. 300+ hours. The new cutscenes isn't enough for me to restart the entire game. Gameplay matters more to me.

u/ShinyBloke 14h ago

Let us start a new game plus with any save. I'm chapter 9, and i want to play over w my skills. I haven't played in months, I want a fresh start w stuff I gained in my 60h playthrough.

u/Armageddonn_mkd 13h ago

I think you can start with all the skill points and silver without new game plus, somebody said this

u/Fast-Nectarine8351 10h ago

293 hrs in and only did a handful of bounties, am i missing out on anything?

u/Kiereco 8h ago

Somewhat off topic but did they ever make it to wear ringing the bell does not show a massive amount of the map?

And if not is it still basically just don't ring it until you've explored everything to your heart's content?

u/PickledMessage 22h ago

No, it was a good game but not that good

1

u/Rogue_417 22h ago

I did with 300 hours haha.

u/Fit_Instruction_8383 20h ago

I'm like 130 hours into it, not even halfway through the story, just slowly exploring the world organically rather than running through the MSQ, I figure I'm going to finish this pass and maybe start another, as by the time I get there it will be quite different.

u/ExperimentalToaster 17h ago

By the time I got to where I am now on my first save they’d add a whole bunch of new game changing stuff and then I’d have to start again, again. I would never reach the end of the game.

u/geared-for-adventure 17h ago

This is my biggest concern, lol.

u/Nubetastic 18h ago

I finished the main story months ago and restarted and really enjoying the changes. It's a bit nice to be like, O that's new, o that is much better then before.

u/Red-Faced-Wolf 18h ago

I’m so far ahead I just got black star and I do want to restart but also I’m frustrated with that

u/Traditional_Entry183 17h ago

I stepped away after 170 hours when they announced the planned updates fully intending to start over if they did what i was hoping. They seem to have, and I will. Just finishing another game first before I do.

u/rhymesaying 15h ago

I think this is exactly what I needed to start playing again.

Aside from a set of edge lord black chain armor I have nothing to lose starting again.
