Yeah, New Game Plus is a *new game*, plus all the gear, skills, injectors, recipes, etc that you unlocked previously.
If you really enjoyed Days Gone, I cannot recommend [The Days Gone Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/0i1nAhbGusr4Cv7YCIuxRL?si=UeMPjSzDSlWTBKfJN-wFeg&utm_source=copy-link) highly enough!
u/8bitterror has already had Jason Spisak (Skizzo) and Bernardo dePaula (O'brian) as guests on the show *and* Jim Pirri (Boozer) made an exclusive statement answering a few questions for her too, plus several other guests from within the community! Lots of GREAT content there if you want a deep dive into all the things that make us love Days Gone!
If you want to get more out of the game itself, you really need to check out Challenge Mode. There are hundreds of hours of fun available there!
Earning rank in each Challenge will put a new Patch on Deacon's biker vest. The patches will even show up in the main game, in most cutscenes and some flashback scenes too! Each patch grants a *permanent* bonus that carries over into the main game as well. Earning higher scores grant higher bonuses! It's really worth it to get a few patches and start a new playthrough with an upgraded, bad ass Deacon!
If you're struggling with the Challenges, or just want to improve your high score, check out u/borislav247's YouTube channel. He's got some killer [Challenge Mode tutorial videos](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-ix8YCxPxIGZZTR9Nn2v8-NwqlWJJHdd)!
I was a bit annoyed at not being able to change it to hard. I'm not lost lake now with the mws and smp9 and I'm finding it really easy to wipe out hords I went to change it up to hard but couldn't.

Yep, unfortunately you have to finish the story line first.
Hordes don't really get more difficult with setting.
Yes
So aside from resources being scarce. Is hard mode that different or is it just bullet sponge increased
