jamby Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 This isn't a difficult trophy. Some are missable, but the majority of trophies are through just playing the game. The others are just finding and retrieving which can be a huge pain if you're missing one or two things, but other than that. This platinum is fairly easy to get. Would say it's about a 4.

F8L Fool Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Four sounds about right if you use a guide. If you were to go through this game without any assistance at all though it could easily be a five or six for the platinum. I mean without any assistance on the Overlord and two of the Champion artifacts, experience grinding spot suggestion/hint, and the location of the Fury Legendary I could've easily seen my gameplay gone up a drastic amount (20 hours for plat for me). I gave it a 6 based on the difficulty with the lack of any sort of assistance. Four/Five hands down with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auguscht28 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Voted a solid 5. Got Plat in one playthrough which took me about 25h with lots of foolin around and coffee breaks w/o pausing. Very entertaining game. Puzzles are quite good not what you'd expect in a otherwise hack'n'slash game. Fighting is not that hard once you figured out how to evade and control a crowd of enemies. You can pretty much lure them into attacking, evade and counter. If you have the patience Apocalyptic diff is a walk in the park. Later when you get the Abyssal Amor you are truly unstoppable. With this amor and your weapons upgraded you can easily go bananas on every group of enemies w/o worrying about health. Boss fights are a bit to easy IMO. It takes the first one to adjust to them and from there on it seems to get easier. Final boss was a bit disappointing regarding difficulty but otherwise epic scenario.

jamby Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Boss fights are a bit to easy IMO. It takes the first one to adjust to them and from there on it seems to get easier. Final boss was a bit disappointing regarding difficulty but otherwise epic scenario. I'll definitely agree with you here. Good boss fights have different states that the boss goes through to change the fight up a bit. All of the bosses essentially had a pre-hit attack, then they got hit and you hit them a bit, then they got up and did their post-hit attack. The last boss was really the only one with different states during the fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antegia Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 i voted 4 / the game isn't so difficult even in apocalyptic , especially from the moment u find the armor , the rest is a walk in the park / without a guide i have found everything and i have left only some grinding for maxing all the weapons up for my next platinum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I have to say 4, it wasn't exactly the toughest action adventure I played, was definately the most interesting combo of Zelda and God of War. The toughest trophy, and I couldn't believe it wasn't beating the game on hard mode after dying so many times on normal, once I could use that nice armor at the beginning, was definately Aerial Predator, so many times riding that damn griffon just to fall short of 160. It was kind of funny it took me over 15 hours to find everything on normal but only 10 hours and a half to find everything and beat it on hard, with the armor you can breeze through the game, mostly avoiding all the health chests if you are good dodger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordMaceX Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 2 out of 10. Although it was a great game and I loved it, the game really lacked any difficulty challenge at all. Even the Predator trophy to kill all of the stuff while flying I got my first try after hearing it was gonna take several. I have high hopes for Darksiders II, hopefully much harder this time.

Sammo21 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 So far, I am saying a 5 as there are some missable trophies that can make it take at least 2 playthroughs. The damage taken + horrible fighting camera might make apocalyptic mode a challenge for some. Good game, and one that I think will be missed by many since it was previewed and marketed as a God of War action game when it's more Zelda/Soul Reaver style game. Either way, I will need to go back through on normal to get the 160 kills on angelic beast. Other than that, I should be able to get them all fairly quickly.

ReverendSID Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I give it a 5. I did use some internet resources to find a couple of the items, and for tips on the secret trophies, so it didn't take me as long as it could have. But as someone else said, the missable trophies and the kinda insane amount of damage some enemies do on apocolyptic could make it really hard for some folks. The weapon grinding can be really annoying if you don't know the spider trick (Which I didn't read about until almost 4 hours of grinding regular ) But it still wasn't really hard, just time consuming.

kaipa Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 thats a solid 5 from me, not difficult at all, 1 playthrough and a bit of grinding and leveling up afterwards, around 20-25h and the plat is yours:applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southurnbuck Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I give this game a 5. I did it in one play through on Apocalyptic difficulty. This game could really be rated a 3 or even a 2 if you have the Armor and max out your weapons and wrath. Apocalyptic is not that hard after you start leveling up and build some experiance. Though if you begin on normal and find all the Armor then this game can be a cake walk on your second play through on Apocalyptic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Adonis Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I give it a three real easy. It takes one playthrough the collectibles are easy to find. The hardest difficulty is rather easy. The ride 100 miles and aerial predator are the only ones that will take awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjohn112 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 i just started the game and its really fun and easy im gonna enjoy the first playthrough and go for all collectable trophies in the second but most trophies you can easily get in the first.. A 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruslan74 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 One of the most enjoyable early new year games I have ever played. A 5 as Apocalyptic isnt as bad as other similar game's difficulty levels. Bayonetta, GoW and DMC come to mind. Some internet resources made the game easier but simply finding the Legendary item for all chests and artifacts made the game pretty easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyod_024 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 i gave it a 4 because it was real easy but it did take some time to get a couple trophies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BishopFrost Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I gave it a 5 I have pretty much everything from one playthrough just need to run through it again on apocalyptic and polish off the rest of them..good game though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordhong Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Gave it a 5, only because a few trophies are complete hit or miss (Aerial Predator). I got that one rather quickly, but I can see people struggle with it due to the mushiness of the trigger (really, couldn't map differrent attacks to different triggers?)

Pokkit_ Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 4/10 This game is pretty easy, even on Apocalypse difficulty. The only trophies you should really have trouble with is the "Aerial Protector" and the "Who's Counting" trophies. Overall, a 4. However, I don't know which idiot decided to have a trophy for riding 100 miles on Ruin? I mean you never use the horse till halfway later in the game, and even then you only use him once or twice. Heck, the bloody horse can't even jump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugiwara84 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 5, nothing gave me trouble. Aerial predator took me five attempts and I did do my first run at normal so I could enjoy the game longer and the second run didn't bore me luckely but this game was hardly challenging anywhere.

Korjyan Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Gave it a 4. Aerial Predator trophy sucks, the rest is really easy. Even without an items guide you can find everything on your own once you have the Fury's Embrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBoJangles Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I rated this game a 4. It wasn't overly difficult but I did have some problems with a few enemy encounters towards the end of the game. A few of the puzzles had me scratching my head and it took me a little bit to find the last wrath and lifestone shard. Took roughly 23 hours for me to platnium.

DMiZ Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Gave it a 5. It really wasn't THAT hard, like some said, even on the hardest difficulty. It started off tough but as you went through the game it seemed to get easier. Even the bosses seemed to get easier as I progressed (I thought Tiamat was the hardest!) With the one enhancement for collectibles, I think that makes things a hell of a lot easier too, even without any sort of guide. (Reminds me of finding shards on inFamous.) Looking forward to the next Darksiders though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
