I still don't get these 3 and 4 star cries for FF XIII.



The game is very very easy, the only issue with the plat is time, but time alone isn't enough to bump a game from a 1 star (because easy) all the way to 3 or 4 stars. The time should make it 2 star at best.

2 and a half stars imo. Time does play an important factor.

 

Anyways I just Platinumed God of War 3 in like 9 hours. So 1 star.

Time dosen´t always factor difficulty. there is alot of games which are really easy to plat but just takes time it dosen´t mean its difficult.

 

 

Time and difficulty are separate things. But it seems going by the star system on the front page, time is factored in. For example, Cross Edge and Demon's Souls... Obviously Demon's Souls is a much harder game, since for Cross Edge you can play on easy and still get plat. But they're both ****. Same with GTA IV, the hard part is win 1 of every race, the time consuming part is NOOSEing up to 10 mil. IMO both of these separately are ***s, but together they're ~4.5/5. And DA:O, which I've mentioned above; if it weren't for the time (~80 hours for me) I'd say it's a lower tier 2 star game.

Also, there are some 3 stars like Katamari Forever (which I've done) and Wet (friend platted this on a 3 day rental) are for sure easier than FFXIII. If these are the lower tier 3s, for sure FFXIII is a mid-tier 3.

 

EDIT: Also, the Gundam Dynasty Warriors game. It's like difficulty **, but 100 hour plat, hence why it's ***. It just doesn't make sense to take away the time factor for FFXIII, when there's so much precedence.
