Yeah GoW1 and 2 had annoying moments but you didnt have to play on Titan. You coulda got those plats on easy. GoW3 was diferent but it dont matter. I guess the ratings are just made up by Arcturus instead of voters who actually got the platinum. I'm out

The ratings aren't just made up. I take note on what people are saying about the difficulty, and base part of my decision on that. Many people here have been saying that they consider GoW3 to be a 2* difficulty game. In addition to that, I've also looked at the average user rating over at Ps3trophies.org. The current user rated average over there is 5.8. Compare that to some other 2* rated games like GoW (5), GoWII (4.7), Uncharted (5) and it's not that much higher in difficulty.

That doesn't make sense though.... how would a 5.8 turn to a 2* on ours? from my understanding if they go on a 10 scale our ratings should be half of what theirs is... and half of 5.8(or 6 in other words) would be 3*. If we are gonna use their ratings to determine our scale then it should be done properly. as I said before 1-2 should be a 1*, 3-4 a 2*, 5-6 a 3*, 7-8 a 4*, and 9-10 a 5*... Otherwise its not done right an ratings are therefore made up, or somebody needs a calculator

I didn't say we were going to use their rating system. I merely pointed to those ratings to show what other people's opinions on the game's difficultly were in comparison to, for example, GoW. Those people are saying that they think GoW is a 5, and GoW 3 is a 5.8. So, GoW 3 is slightly harder than GoW. But if GoW 3 had a 6.5 or 7 difficultly rating on that site, and more importantly, others here agreed that it should be a 3* rating, then I would consider making it 3*. But most people here have been saying that it should be a 2* rating, and I think someone here even said it should be a 1* rating. Therefore, I made it a 2* rating. This may change as others play the game and comment on its difficultly, but for now, it's a 2* rating.

And to comment on your scale of "1-2 should be a 1*, 3-4 a 2*, 5-6 a 3*, 7-8 a 4*, and 9-10 a 5*". You're not going to find many games with an average difficulty rating of 1 or 2 on that site. There might be like 2 or 3 games that fall into this range. Following this scale, games like Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection would be rated as a 2* (it's currectly rated a 3/10 on that site).
