So a game like Call of duty that took me 20 hours to plat is a 3 star but a game like Mag that took roughly 180 hours deserves the same? If you actually tried for the platnum you would know that theres more than just time needed to get this platnum considering you need to blow up 20 escort vehicles and there could be 10 other people trying to destroy the escort vehicle aswel or kill 15 people with a pistol in one match or even kill 15 people with a knife in one round.

Its well and good judging a game off the beta when no trophies are available but if you actually try getting some of the trophies you would know they sound easier to get than they actually are and also less than 1% of Mag players earned the platnum trophey for this game so what does that tell you.

Like Killzone 2 is a 4 star game and I had the platnum of that after 1 week. Do you think that deserves a 4 star because getting the platnum for that game was way easier than getting the one for MAG.


I think KZ2 plat is overated, it isn't hard at all.  I've said before you can just literally sprint through a lot of the campaign even on Elite, online ribbons are easy boostable and if you stick to pistol only bodycount you'll get the top 1% and rank trophy in less than a weeks play.

 

MAG difficulty varies depending on faction too due to map design, but you need play all 3 factions for the plat anyway.  15 pistol or knife kills isn't hard if you just use those weapons only and go out your way to hide and kill someone arming an objective and such.

 

The ratings are meant to reflect going for the plat as a priority, not what you get through general play.


Well I'm with you on KZ2 as the only difficult part in KZ2s Elite is the end boss battle with Radec and even that only takes 4 or 5 retries to kill him. Like 1 headshot on elite kills most enemies.

Honestly mate every single game is easily platnumed but some are more difficult because you need to put in more time. You could play a difficult game over and over again until you get past the level and the thing that got you past it was the fact that you put time into the game to get past the level.

Thats why time should be factored in. Its not like someone can hand you mag and a week later you've the platnum. These games are games that only a handful of the players will get. Take WKC. I played that game for 100 hours and gave up on the game. Even though the gameplay is easy the platnum is difficult to get because you need to put a lifetime into it to getting that plat and only a few will have it.
