p3-eR-nuLL Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 i voted 5, but maybe that's even too much. the trophies are easier than in bioshock 1. you can get the diaries, weapon upgrades, research and such stuff without a guide in the first playthrough. even the hard playthrough isn't hard because you can use vita chambers. multiplayer is a little bit time consuming but not hard and is making fun anyway. don't know why so much people are complaining about the bad match making, because i get nearly always in fair matches with players ~my level. and even if not, the grenade launcher or the crossbow aren't that overpowered like everybody's saying. the grenade launcher for example is slow, has only 3 shots per magazine and you have to hit the enemy at least 2 times to kill him. in this time an enemy with an mg or shotgun has already killed you lol well, maybe the multiplayer can become hard if you are VERY low skilled. i don't know, i'm not high skilled at all, average player, and i have a k/d of 1.40. and even then you still get enough adam through research, hacking and completing the match. edit: ah and btw, no multiplayer trophies glitched on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minko Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Going to vote a 3. Played on normal and got all but 2 (Against All Odds & 9-Irony) of the SP trophies without any real trouble. Didn't need to reload either. MP trophies will take time mostly, but they're easy otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyamaKenchi Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I gave it a 4. im doing story right now and im not having any issues getting trophies but i am enjoying the game as well as online but getting to 40 is easy if you have time and patience and a particular loadout that works for you so just mess with a loadout till you found one that works for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mecha Buu Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Final score is a 5. The trophies for this game are easier than the prequel. Beating the story without the Vita Chambers in any difficulty (I went for Normal mode) and less enemies to research (even though I missed the Big Daddy at the end of the game), you can probably get all the single player trophies if you play it on Hard. Or if you play it once, you can play it again with the Vita Chambers on. I mean you can get most of the trophies by turning off the Vita Cahmbers and always save your game. A little known tip for those who played Bioshock 1. And the online trophies...are meh. You can get the rank trophies by grinding and trying to get the other trophies whie doing this. The main problem while ranking up is dealing with the host quitting the game, making you go back to the lobby. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proskatercam Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I voted a 2 because, minus the Research (missed a couple thug splicers, and about an inch for Spider splicer >.>) and Against All Odds trophy,I got all of the single player trophies in my first playthrough, not even trying. MP is just plain boring and not very good, not hard at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samba987 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I voted it a 3. If you have played the first game, than you will know how the game works, and what to look for (secret areas, traps etc). The collectibles are very easy to find and the fact you don't have to collect every single one for the trophy means you will not need a collectible guide. The hard difficulty is not very hard at all compared to other FPS and even the first Bioshock, and it gets easier the more you play though with the help of the research camera.  The online is quite easy but it will take some time to get the rank 40 trophy (around 95,000 adam needed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widge567 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 gave it a 4 SP is really easy even on Hard maybe even equal to medium from Bioshock and MP is just be a grind as you are bound to get the rest of the trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastarifla Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 For players of many FPS games - I would rate this a 3, because its much easier than its predecessor and the collectable trophies are very forgiving (100/129 diarys). For the average gamer - I would rate this a 6, because the multiplayer can become tedious, the hard difficulty will test your patience, and finding everything can be a chore.

theDane21 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I voted 4, I played the first but didn't plat it. I' relly enjoy this game, a lortof fun. The story mode is great, and the multiplayer kinda of suck, but not hard at all. I'am rank 20 and it took about 7 hours, mostly due to host quiting or bad connection. Which is why some games should stay away from multiplayer (trophies) because they don't have ther servers to deal with it or the setup to. Otherwise it's tons of fun.

shay-d Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Grrr...hate these. Is it hard? No, not really. Is it time consuming? yes, with the MP. so what do you rate it? I think time is a factor in considering difficulty, so a 6 seems about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovedaddy Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Not finished grinding the MP yet (upto 15) - but the single player stuff was a doddle. Took me 2 plays, because I missed a few bronzes (didn't play with a guide). Also did hard with chambers off (expect it to be a requirement like Bio1). Still very easy. MP grind, here we come =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikuide_Furame Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Gave it a 4; Against All Odds is the only trophy that might present a problem. Getting to Rank 40 will also be a pain - just reach rank 30 but my adam total is only half that required to reach 40! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billygolden78 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 voted a 5. single player is a breeze, especially if you do 2 runthroughs. Still about 10 hours away from rank 40 and i'll finally be done with this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevenger Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 3, maybe 4. The online can drag on, and finding a game can be horrible. Have yet to try the game on hard, so we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenix_Nguyen Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I vote a 3. I didn't find HARD mode hard at all. And it only took me about 20 hrs to get RANK 40 trophy. I was hoping for SURVIVAL MODE. Maybe they will add that with a DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F8L Fool Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'm going to go with a 5 on this one. A lot of people are struggling like hell with the MP, so you have to account for the skill curve AND bad luck. There's also a lot of ways to screw up the trophies beyond repair. Such as: "Savior", "Dealth With Every Little Sister", "Rapture Historian", and "All Weapon Upgrades". You make the wrong choice or don't save in the right spot and that means you're playing through the game again. I think games with that plus a decent amount of MP deserve a 5. Any game that takes roughly 30 hours to plat is a 5 in my book, and I'd go with that estimate as well for this game.

Jack Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Going with a 6, borderline almost had to start another playthrough but got lucky, and the multiplayer is just so damn bad and broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vogymaan Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I voted 5 bc the grind of online trophies has sucked the life out of me, but the other ones are not hard at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallendespair Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I voted 2. The main game was very easy even on hard without vita-chambers. Multiplayer was only time-consuming, took about 20 hours for rank 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god-of-paradise Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 i gave it a 7 because they are all pretty easy it just makes them harder that you have to do them in one play through and you can't go back to levels. I screwed my chance up with the fully research everything because i did not get research of all the thuggish when i had the chance. i know get a rank 40 is just time consuming but it is going to be a long time til i ever get that (bad company 2 is in a few weeks=really excited) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisher8632 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Gave it a 4 because I find the singleplayer trophies easy (Minus the research , diary , weapon uprade trophies) Completed the game without dying in my first playthrough (I didnt even load , if I died) Multiplayer is kinda fun but can get to repetive if ur playing it more then 2 hours straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cauchy Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I'm giving this a 7. I found the single player satisfyingly challenging on Hard and, while I thought the multiplayer was fairly fun, it was challenging going up against all those high level characters early on.

Miketofu22 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I gave it a 5. I started with the multiplayer trophies first because I didn't think it would have a dedicated fan base. It's fun and is true to BioShock but it's not accessible to every gamer (not as easy to do well as say, Modern Warfare). I had no real troubles getting the multiplayer trophies. The only hard one to get is reach level 40 and that just takes time. You should get the other MP trophies along you road to 40. To rank up quick, I recommend playing "Capture the Sister" or "Survival of the Fittest". These two modes got me the most ADAM. It took me just over 19 hours to get to 40. My usual loadout was Tommy Gun(w/ Extended Mags) & Crossbow(w/ Damage Increase). I walked around with the Crossbow and when I saw someone, I shot an arrow and quickly switched to the Tommy to finish him off. I also had Geyser Trap and Insect Swarm as my Plasmids. Geyser Trap is a good way of getting the jump on your enemy and has helped me in some real tight situations. Insect Swarm is just a beast. While not dealing any real damage, it totally blinds your enemy and you should get an easy kill unless they got ninja senses. As for Tonics, I used Expert Photographer & Speedy Hacker. Researching a dead body, hacking anything, and picking up the little red viles give you as much points as getting a kill. Remember that. As for single player, well, not as hard as BioShock. On your first playthrough, put it on easy and get all the trophies other than the one for completing the game on hard. There are a lot of good audio diary guides out there and you only need to get 100 of them. Spare every major character you meet. Don't kill Gracie. Don't kill Stanley. Don't want to contain any spoilers so I'll leave you to find out what happens with Gil. Remember to disable Vita-Chambers as soon as you control Subject Delta to get the no Vita trophy. It won't count against you unless you use a Vita-Chamber but it's good to be safe. Wow, that reply got out of hand. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
