Looks pretty easy to me.

Was going to get this game regardless of trophies anyway, but this'll add extra longevity.

As usual, I'm somewhat reticent to consider a game's trophy list easy without having played a single second of the game's hardest difficulty...But, yeah, the list looks pretty easy.

And that doesn't really bother me - easy or hard, I just want it to be fun; but I have to say that I'm disappointed with how uncreative the list is - if you swap out the "story progression" trophies for "collect x treasures", you would basically have the list for an Uncharted game. Hopefully the list is as conservative and uninspired as the game gets.

Have you really ever come across a game where the "hard" campaign was too much to handle?

A weird thing to say: I mean, there's a hell of a lot of ground between "easy" and "too much to handle".

Two games come to mind:

the first is Quantum Theory: this game is broken beyond all belief; I was about 80% of the way through the story on hard when my ps3 YLOD'd; the game on hard isn't hard, strictly speaking, but it is, as I said, mechanically broken - repeatedly failing a mangled platforming section (which is going to happen) means that you might well have to replay the same 10 minutes of broken gameplay 20-30 times before actually making it through the broken platforming section in question; in a game as awful as Quantum Theory, having to replay the same 10 minutes of the game 20 times is torture enough to make you question the reason for human existence; having lost my save file, there was no way I was going to replay that monstrosity on hard...Was hard too much for me? No, but yes, if you see what I mean;

the second game is Resident Evil 5, which I've actually never completed (on normal difficulty, which is what I started playing it on), because - like Quantum Theory - I find the game so mechanically broken as to be virtually unplayable; unlike Quantum Theory, I simply stopped playing RE 5 in the middle of the last act because I just couldn't take it anymore - anything that unpleasurable is simply not worth pursuing or even completing, as far as I'm concerned.

So, in other words, a game's hard difficulty isn't just a question of a game's hard difficulty; it's also a question of competence, of playability; Shadows of the Damned could very well be awful, could very well be just as mechanically broken as Quantum Theory - we don't know because we haven't played it; and if it is awful, then hard is going to be hard; just like playing Damnation on Insane difficulty is incredibly difficult - not because it's challenging, but because it's so incompetently awful that it's...you know, challenging.

Anyways, there's another reason for me to back away from calling a game I've never played easy (apart from the fact that I've never played it): people are stupid and impressionable and could very well come into a thread like this and see people like us going on about how easy the thing is and then go and buy the game and have it kick their asses and then they want to kick our asses because, you know, we all talked up how easy the thing was going to be.

I have friends that are still angry with me because I told them (when asked) that Dead to Rights: Retribution was one of the easiest platinums I had, and they find the game brutally difficult and can't get anywhere near the platinum - baffling, I know (DtR:R is sooo easy), but - obviously - ease and difficulty don't have a universal standard and are pretty much in the eyes of the beholder. Or the skill-set of the player. Or the thumbs and trigger fingers of the player. Or something like that. Or whatever.

I was conflicted on whether my june gaming budget should be spent on this game or on Hunted. This trophy list just sealed the deal for me.

A gun named "The Teethgrinder" plus a trophy named "The Orthodontist = Win
