I thought the plat rating was so to not reward the people playing games like UP and Hannah Montanna non-stop.  Using examples like the Terminator games getting that extra star instead is flawed when you got some games like Smackdown vs Raw at 2 stars when you could probably plat that game using 1 hand (being serious) and in ~10-20 hours, if you are slow.  Yet that has the same plat rating as games like Uncharted 2 or Resident Evil 5 that will kill you repeatedly at some points and actually have a lot of challenge to them?  Are people platting RE5 and U2 being punished because they require so much more work and effort than Smackdown v Raw but get the same rating?  No.

 

Hardly fair for anyone who starts playing Resistance 2 to not get a 5 star for it if they are going to be spending a similar amount of time as someone playing WKC if thats a 5 star.  Keeping time as a solid factor like 1 star tops added after the chalanege makes examples like R2 better.  10k kills takes a long time in that game even when it was new and lots of people online, pretty sure that time was factored into the rating.  Now it takes much much longer that increased time doesn't need change the rating because time should equal 1 extra star always.

 

rating is determined by how time consuming and hard the game is after release, if the game isn't patched , rating isn't going to be changed,

Think a minute, what you are saying means we would change Madden 10 rating to 5 stars in 2 years when EA close the online servers because you can't get the online trophies anymore.

If you decide to wait 2 years to get the tropheis of an online game, too bad for you.......

And Resistance 2 10k kills doesn't compare to WKC even now, sorry. For starters you don't need any help to get that trophy ( and it isn't that time consuming really, all you have to do is mindlessly kill people online..)

 

Anyway i was just basing myself on the ratings on PS2trophies.org which we are using as reference for most of our ratings...

 

And the issue with Hannah Montan wasn't that's it's Hannah Montana, it was that you can plat the game in a few hours... In the end the difference between our 1 stars and our 2-3 stars isn't the difficulty, none of the 3 stars really are difficult, its' the time it takes to achieve the objectives...

For Resistance 2, let's say you averaged 100 kills an hour. That means it would take you something like 100 hours to get the 10k kills trophy. It isn't necessarily hard (it does take some skill), it's definitely time-consuming. You don't need help, though, as it's pretty much every man for himself (since Deathmatch is one of the easiest ways to rack up your kills in a time efficient manner). For WKC, you're going to need to rely on other people, and even then, you're going going to complete every quest (I failed on one the other day, despite being in a group with two good people). You're going to be paired with random people sometimes who are complete idiots (your friends won't be on all the time), like people attacking an ice dragon with an ice based weapon, or melee characters casting elemental magic spells on something when they could easily outdamage it with their sword.
