depward Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I'm going with a nine. I have all of the trophies except for two: 1) I Love Everybody! (raise all characters loyalty to max - should have this tomorrow) 2) SOLD OUT (purchase every item in the shop) After doing all of the challenges and getting all the crowns, I need about 240k+ points to buy all of the costumes. I then need an unknown amount for the lobby character parts. Now, for the lobby character parts - you start paying and getting duplicate parts. So who knows how much it'll cost to 100% all three of those. To put things in perspective - I can earn about 4k points in one round of 18 holes. SO yeah, that's going to take a stupid long amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militarymeleer Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I'm going with a four. Put in about 10 hours so far, only trophies missing are one's for buying stuff, which will be cake if anyone does the 3 daily challenges. Plus the one for maxing all characters. Those challenges aren't hard, just time consuming. Then you have the one's for all of the shots. Those are the only 3 that are really "difficult." So I give it a four. Sorry don't know what the first hidden trophy is, but I assume it's just as easy as the other 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on the four. the missing hidden trophy is to use all shot types (gauge, circle, arrow, advanced and traditional) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rospondek Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 militarymeleer You're wrong. If You think that after 10hrs of gameplay You know everything, good luck. Daily tournaments qon't give You lot of money. I already have 44 rounds played and have only over 300k pts in total. I only bought one character and few balls and clubs, music and four memberships which all costs about 200k. I'm always short of money. Second thing. From bronze rank courses and holes are a really 'beach' Always water, slopes and crazy wind. There is too much luck and no skills actually. Stars are not hard when you have easy mode on... but crowns! Damn! Some of them seems impossible. For now, I'll say 9-10 for the platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cars123456789 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) i give it a 3 but if u have played hotshots like me then its easy if not i say 7 out of 10 Edited March 10, 2012 by cars123456789 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazerei Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I give this a 10, because they really couldn't have made it any more difficult. Even if you're an HSG veteran, I don't see how you can even give it less than a 7. It's certainly not easy, well above 3-5 on the difficulty scale. Some of the things I'm still missing are: Crown: Keep a perfect impact rate over 50% and win Crown: Win with at least 3 birdies in a row (teeny cup) Trophy: Skip the ball across water three times in a row in an official roud Trophy: Score a double eagle in an official round Trophy: Perform a spiral shot in an official round It's also incredibly time consuming to purchase everything in the shop, as others have mentioned.

lob Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 i'd say 4 if youre a veteran HSG player as theres a lot of grinding. plus some of the crown requirements are kinda tough. if youre new to HSG or a casual player it becomes a 7 or 8. its much tougher than OT2 IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julyvictor Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I'd say it's an 8. Crowns are the hardest to get. Also you will need a lot of points to purchase everything in the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvtforlife Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I rated this a 7. Nothing I have done in this game is super difficult. It is just time consuming. There is a little bit of luck required. The hardest things are Homing shot, and the double eagle or hole in one. Most of it happens with play and since you need to play thousands of holes to get the platinum they will eventually happen while playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatnow Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Just got the plat, rated it a 9. Some of the challenges are very hard, it's long (with having to max out all characters' loyalty and buying everything from the shop bearing the brunt of the grind), and getting an albatross or hole in one is very difficult. Tons of fun to play, though, so I am happy that I played it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZomB12 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'd say it's around a 5-6, only because of the randomness of certain trophies (hole in one, double eagle etc.) and the huge grind to get enough points to buy everything. Seriously some of the items in the shop are way too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocentis Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I gave it a 3. I really didn't find anything that difficult in this game. I guess I got real lucky as there are some high scores above. The game is extremely time consuming and one huge grind for the buy everything trophy. That doesn't make the game hard though. homing shot gave me the most trouble, I tried it on every hole while grinding cash. A few crowns were tricky but not game breaking.

Some people I know are still grinding Hole-in-One and Alby, and they have hundreds of rounds plyed. It is very luck based, so the scores will surely vary.

Vamp1980 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Ok, I am done with everything now. Just need that darn homing shot, which is 99% luck based Oh well, I am playing daylies and tournaments now, so I guess it will happen eventually. Year later.... darn:whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neuroned Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 F this game. I'll never get platinum... and it's more frustrating than fun trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb720 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Got the platinum and I'm voting 9. Some of the crown requirements are ridiculously hard and the shot types/double eagle/ hole-in-one are luck based. If that wasn't enough it's really time consuming with level grinding and having to buy everything. Still brilliant game though, best PS Vita game so far.

fultz7 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I give it an 8. Some tough crowns and getting a double eagle feels impossible. Hard work and determination pay off though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewYorkNative28 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) My hat's off to all who obtained platinum! Vamp, you'll get it soon. For me, this platinum is ridiculously hard. I have put in a ton of time already and only have 20% of the trophies. I'm not one to complain. I enjoy a good challenge. But this game feels downright impossible in the later levels. And some of the skill shots feel like pure luck. Maybe I'm just not good at this game. I think GT5's platinum is more attainable that this one.

Hehe, thanks mate, I already obtained it exactly month ago:P As I expected, homing shot was luck based - I have it in one of the Daily Tournaments. Since then I scored it 3 times. Yes, this platinum is very hard and respect to all who obtained it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dh4645 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) i gave it a 3. it was easy for me, just took a while. i pretty much played all the hsg games on the ps2, so i picked it back up really fast. came back from a weeks vacation. played last night and this morning to max out the last 2.5 characters. just maxed out the last dude and had just enough to buy the rest of the costumes. then on the 4th hole of the next round with lani (or whatever), i got my homing shot & PLATINUM!!!!!! pretty much perfect timing with the maxing loyalty, money and only 4 holes for homing shot on 1-1. D...U...N....done with this game. Edited July 28, 2012 by dh4645 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbond22 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I wanted to rate this game easy, but it isn't. Yes it is time consuming getting enough points to buy everything and raise the characters loyalty, but I don't rate games as hard based on being time consuming. The reason it is hard is probably mostly based on the fact that putting is hard for me. There are a few courses I have played 20-30 times without beating, mainly the last 18 hole course. Also some of the crown achievements are tough for me. I am going with a 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got most of those plats in 2010 and 2011, now I work full time and have a 6 month old. So yes my platinum days are done. I might get 3 or 4 platinums this year if I am lucky. Been working on Lollipop Chainsaw for like 2 months cause I never get to play. Still have Prototype 2 in the wrapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atolm Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) I'm just 2 trophies away from platinum (missing Albatross and Sold Out trophies) but I can't believe people is voting this a 3. I've been playing the series since the PSP games and this is at least an 8. I've re-tried the Albatross shot at least 200 times. Many trophies are so luck based they're infuriating.
