I just beat the game on NG+. Are you prepared for the differences in the story?
There aren't any.
And that's the point?
As far as I'm reading this, and especially since the new game is called "recursion," everything will always be the same. Red ends herself at the end of one story, and the Process recreates the story. Because it always ends up working in a cycle, so it always ends up getting to the same point. I think that the themes of choice and the lack thereof, as represented through the terminals and their outcome being the same no matter which option you select, really speaks to the idea that you can't change anything. Which the English major in my adores, but the gamer in me who spent an extra few hours playing through NG+ feels let down for expecting a giant revelation.
