Platinum Difficulty Rating

Didn't vote yet but looks easy but time consuming.

Extremely easy, especially if you save the harder activities, collectibles, assassination and carjackings, and survival missions until you've hit level 50 and can get infinite ammo and health.

I gave the game a VERY generous 4. The story is decently short and not that hard. Once you have fully upgraded your character the game gets very stale as you simply can not die. Retrieving all the cars and finishing all the assassination hits can be very time consuming and boring. The challenge's difficulty were average, but the car torpedo challenge does not give a very good description of what you need to do so I had to look that up. The activities (mayhem, insurance fraud, and so on) are much easier than in Saints Row 2. The collectibles were very easy to find once you purchase the upgrade bonus to show them on your map. I totaled just under 40 hours of gameplay.

Voted 2. There is an easier way to complete almost anything. For example, why complete survival missions on foot when you can use a tank? After upgrading all weapons, buying unlimited ammo and making yourself bulletproof you become a one man killing machine. Even if you have hard time with an activity at first try you can just return to it at that later point. Even collectibles arent a problem as you can buy an upgrade that puts them to your map.

Exactly this.

Truly, its not very difficult. Just do the save trick for the choice trophies. Missions are a lot easier compared to the original two. The upgrades give you huge advantages against enemies. No difficulty setting trophies so play in casual, mostly story related and mission based. The only hard trophy and its not really hard just time consuming is the challenges. I say its a 3. Plus its co-op.

I voted a 3. This is one of the easiest platinums i've seen, the activities and missions aren't difficult at all and you can plough through them on casual because there aren't difficulty related trophies. A slight bit of grinding is needed for the challenges, but nothing too time consuming. If there wasn't any grinding in the game then the platinum difficulty would easily be a 1 or 2.

Just got plat i gave it a 3.

[mirski57]

I gave it a 3, I would have given in a 2 if some of the challenges were easier to figure out first time around and I didn't have to replay them.

-- Total Time : 39hrs 26min
-- Don't even need the online pass for any of the trophies (however connection to PSN is needed for 1 of them)
-- Collectables are shown on the map after you buy enough upgrades.
-- Sufficient land and air vehicles to get to hard to reach places.
-- Small enough map to get to anywhere you have to go in about 2 minutes or less.
-- Some grinding involved (500 headshots, and driving 2,500,000 ft)
