Weren't you the one suggesting using a modified bell curve?  if 2 out of 5 games are a 2 star, that would fit the bell curve pretty well.

For the bell curve, that'd be 3 stars with the highest frequency. Right now 3 star and 1 star games are about the same, at 50, while 2 star games have basically twice as much. It's a skewed distribution right now.

So perhaps we need to shift the hardest 1/3 of 2-star games and move them to 3 stars?

If 3 is the new 2, all our averages will be around 3 now!

But anyways, I think the industry really does have a standard in trophy difficulties now - as in most action adventure games will be around the same level (2 stars). It's just like putting DVDs in alphabetical order, but there just seems to be a lot of movies starting with the letter "D", and not many starting with "X". That's why we're getting the distribution ratio, because it accurately describes the reality of the difficulty of getting platinum trophies in all games.

So the question is: If the majority of games is around 4-6/10 on PS3Trophies.org guides, then is it wise for us to try and draw a line through that?
