Platinum Difficulty Rating

[SkylineFaux]

6. The only difficult trophy was King of the Hill and it wasn't that hard. After a few races with the rammers, they get incredibly predictable and it becomes laughably easy. Grinding is a pain though and I have to say, the AI in Hard can be brutal at times, but it isn't as hard as everyone's making it out to be.

Gave it an 8.

I got the Platinum after about ~58-60 hours.

King Of the Hill, Drifting, and racing on Hard difficulty; these all require to learn actual skills to get you further.

I already rated this a 8/10 awhile back when all I had was the corner trophies and the rest of the clean-up stuff. The game still averages right around that today. Overall, that rating fits for this game and based on the fact this game has a very-low platinum acquisition rate according to YGC.

I will have this today once I wrap-up more hours online. I personally wanted to have a little bit of fun towards the end rather than use some self-play methods that were discovered. Once I experimented with a good setup for drifting, I started to love it again like the first game. The Brno corners were not spot-on as how the line is on the track, and turning off the line as mentioned in the guide can help a bit there.

King of the Hill is a ram-fest no doubt, and you'll just have to keep plugging away at it. Most of the time I just waited for the player to make a mistake, which they likely will if they are not a well-versed racer What frustrates me the most is how long you might have to wait the further you get up the ladder. I was at the semi-finals for the longest time until last night. I just left the game alone and did other things while I waited for my next kill. As time goes on and the community dwindles, this trophy is going to be a deal-breaker for those trophy completionists out there.

I'll still look to share more tips, videos, and such for this game around here when I can. As I had a lot of fun playing it. A part of me is even sad that its coming to an end. However, I won't miss how buggy it was, or the unforgiving AI that made me restart some important races.

only king of the hill and mastering brno are hard, the first one due to online being just full of odiots. I'm a clean racer with the wheel and i can't stand such idiot online, damn i hate so much ranked stuffs online.

[Gods_Weapon1]

gave it a 8 coz of King of the Hill trophy and the trophy for beating all rivals.

This game is not hard, just kinda long and lack a bit of players online.

Personally i think its not a very good game but its not a bad game. Not saying i dont like it, just need some work. I really like nfs for its arcade style street racing and not like this simulation. They try make simulation but it just doesnt feel right. GT5 is way better. Hoping the coming nfs will stick what they known for.

I'd say the game in general to plat probably 7.

Gave it a 7.

Not because it's a hard game but purely from the longevity of it (My total to platinum was 43hr 19min offline - mainly for the 10 million and 10hr 2min online)

And also because the pain of the king of the hill trophy as that form of online race has totally died out. 10 hours online is a bore and 10 million dollars is an absolute grind.

Finally 100%, it is an okay racing game. Lots of grinding at the end, which makes it very boring. Some corners are really tough to handle and master. Not a very difficult platinum. King of the Hill will spent some time, no matter if you are boosting or playing legit.

Fun: 6/10
Platinum Difficulty: 6/10

Beating the rivals, mastering corners and king of the hill were all hard then at the end u had the boring grind for money so i'm giving this plat a solid 8

Just platted the game. Voted a 7 because I found drifting and King of the Hill quite challenging. Apart from that its just a huge and sadly enough pretty boring grind. Coping with the bad engine and input lag is the biggest motivational challenge in this game.
