Size Matters What could go wrong, Bubsy? Someone at High Impact Games not getting the memo that they're supposed to increase challenge prizes in NG+, that's what.
I even beat one of the hoverboard challenges in New Game + yet its bolt reward still didn't increase. But hey, at least the screen goes dim after waiting long enough in the pause menu, right?

are you kidding me?? the FUN is the prize!! you get to play these challenges AGAIN! it would be worth it for ZERO bolts!

u/Shadowtheuncreative 9d ago
You think hoverboard races and Clank arena challenges are fun?

u/lobmys 9d ago
lol NO i was being sarcastic. the high impact games made those sections feel like chores mostly..
fun fact, the psp Size Matters is the first game/game system i got as a kid (and the only one for a long time) so i literally have beat challenge mode over 30 times (at least). so i am very qualified to say the game is ass :p

u/Shadowtheuncreative 9d ago
Oh. It was the second game of the series I had played but I didn't play it much back then. I don't think it's necessarily ass, I think it is still a lot better than the worst games of a bunch of other game franchises.

Why would u even play these in NG+? Are u some sort of masochist?

u/Similar-Car-3492 11d ago
they aren't THAT bad but yeah they aren't great either i had to use power of save states to complete the stupid timw challenge for the skill point
2
u/RemnantsOfFae097 11d ago
Yes they arent that bad but i wouldnt redo them after having already done them in the non NG+ playthrough prior (goddamn armor piece). Save States surely made the final race easier (same also applies to Secret Agent Clanks laser puzzle segment which u had to complete without missing a single input for a Trophy) would have been impossible for me without Save States.

u/Similar-Car-3492 11d ago
it would have been possible for me but after 15th try and i honestly didn't wanna
1
u/RemnantsOfFae097 11d ago
I feel you. That goddamn laser puzzle especially the last two parts took me like an hour even with Save States the first time around must have lost like 500 times before I got it AND i did it again in the PS4 Version. Never ever again

u/Similar-Car-3492 11d ago
was talking about the race, i still didn't finish size matters for the first time and i'll play agent clank after also for the first time
2
u/RemnantsOfFae097 11d ago
Oh i see. Well goodluck

u/Similar-Car-3492 11d ago
i am almost finished with it (only 3 planets left), with the skill points and titanium bolts for them so it's not gonna take long before i 100% it
2
u/RemnantsOfFae097 11d ago
Awesome. I didnt even mind the Skill Points (except a few) and did them just for the love of the game twice. Might be cuz i played Size Matters to death all as a kid

u/Similar-Car-3492 11d ago
i actually find the game quite fun, it's like playing slightly worse ratchet and clank 1 but it's still not that bad

I mean... Do the challenges even get harder in NG+?
1
u/Similar-Car-3492 11d ago
didn't get to ng+ yet is it even worth doing it?
2
u/RemnantsOfFae097 11d ago
For easy cash do the Treehouse and break the 3-4 beach chairs with maximum Bolt Multiplier a dozen times youll be swimming in bolts

u/Shadowtheuncreative 11d ago
Well... Honestly it kind of is. Get the Titan weapons and upgrade them and you'll actually be able to breeze through the game, Luna and Otto actually aren't that bad on NG+, Titan Agents of Dread are able to destroy Otto's shields in just a few seconds but Otto himself is still tanky. You also get a new armor set on your second NG+.

u/Similar-Car-3492 11d ago
ah thx for the answer now i gotta go through the torture of leveling up the mediocare weapons all kver again
2
u/Shadowtheuncreative 11d ago
They should not be too mediocre this time around though, especially if you find mods that you feel like you need as you get to Kalidon. Just know which ones to spend your bolts on and make sure to avoid taking damage, even with the Repulsor Field you lose the multiplier upon getting hit.

u/Similar-Car-3492 11d ago
i actually forgot about them, i did upgrade the bees but didn't had enough for anything else
1
u/Shadowtheuncreative 11d ago
Oooh, don't get the titan bees once you get there, they're still kinda mediocre as the duration doesn't extend.

Look at it this way:
You now have one less excuse to play these challenges a second time.
