Do yall have jobs? Like wtf!?!?!

Sure do ;)

Arcturus can I ask what prompted you to change the difficulty of the LBP1 platinum from 2 to 3? From personal experience I found LBP2 to be a lot harder.

I haven't changed the rating on LBP1. It has always been rated 3 stars.

H-how do you put so much time in gaming in between? I swear i rarely have time anymore

Get organized, get a job where you make a lot of money but don't have to work 60 hours a week ;)

I work 40 hours or so a week, sleep 7 hours or so a night, that leaves a lot of time for gaming...

I'm guessing he meant how come LBP1 was 3 stars, and now LBP2 is 2 stars - what made it easier?

Personally I think it's a good and fair decision. Platinum came alot faster around this time.

But on this note I'm just generally curious what is the usual procedure that you take to determine the star rating of a game? Like what research might you do, whose opinion you may take? Because I'm assuming you can't play every single game there is and determine yourself?

Just got my 1000th trophy.  Looking at those at the top that's a scary difference.  So to not feel so bad I noticed that well until the next update I'll be the highests ranked person with less than 1000.  :)

I didn't find too much of a difference in terms of difficulty in acing levels between the two games, but getting all of the prize bubbles in LBP2 was a lot easier than in 1. That's not to mention that the trophies for 24 hours create mode and 5 hours playing community levels have workarounds that leave them easy to obtain (you don't need to even be there or paying attention). Plus, you don't even need to play the 160 levels, since you can simply go in, rate it and then leave (you needed to finish 150 levels in LBP1).

The only trophies that are a pain in both are the ones that depend on other players. The 50 unique players one in LBP2 is across all levels, as was Create in LBP1. The trophy for acing 10 story levels in a row has a workaround, too, but it's still challenging enough.

Ail, Not if I can help it! Mwahahahaha.

I asumme you have a 4 star plat coming up? Or four 1 star plats? lol. Well I just beat Dead Space 2 Zealot mode yesterday and this weekend I'm going to fly through Hardcore mode. If all goes well I should have another 3 pts this tuesday.
