devilish47 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 So down to the wire I was almost finished this game, all I had to do was beat level 8 and 9 on impossible and get 5 stars on impossible and I was done. I went to level 9 to get my five stars and for some reason, on NORMAL, I could only come out with 4 stars!! I was going crazy, I really thought that level 9 five stars was going to ruin my platinum. So in my despiration I said screw this and went on to level 9 to complete it on impossible. I figured I will try and get the 5 stars but pretty much knew it was impossible. Well to make a long story short, some how I managed to pull out the 5 stars doing level 9 on impossible. I had WAY MORE DAMAGE and grabs and more health packs used and missed stasis and botched reloads, but I still had 5 stars. I honestly dont know how the star system is done on this game, but it seriously seems screwed up,,, I mean really, I couldnt get the 5 stars on NORMAL but can get it on IMPOSSIBLE. Im so happy Ive got my platinum on this game. So glad its over!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get more stars as a reward for playing on higher difficulty...With similar stats you'd get eg. 3 stars on normal and 5 stars on impossible...

olivierolivier Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Impossible mode is a big joke. It's easier than a normal mode in many retro-games. A big joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I see... more reward for highter difficulty..makes perfect sense actually. Makes me wish I didnt waste so much time on my 5 stars on Normal because you had to have a damn near flawless run to get it... but on Impossible you can fuck up a lot and still get 5 stars.

TheUndertaker85 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Gah. At least that answers that question. I've got five stars on every level right now except chapter 9. I've ran through the level multiple times, including following the walkthrough for all of the collectables in it and got all of them each time just to get four stars at the end of each run. Since I've got to do the Impossible difficulty I might as well try getting five stars there. I think the part that's killing it down to four stars on lower plays is simply the part where you have to cut off your own arm. Seems like that might be applying damage and killing the five star run.

JackmoveJohnny Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Exact same thing happened to me. Didn't give me 5 stars until I fucked up royaly go figure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodhawk26 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 So Im guessing I should just aim for 5 Stars on Impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) So fricking stuck on chapter 9, always 4 stars, not 5 stars! Ok I have done it, I was trying on Impossible setting until I tried normal difficulty. I managed to get it in normal not impossible for chapter 9. Try normal difficulty if it is hard for you to achieve 5 stars, you never know. Edited November 5, 2011 by Animal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icedsync Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 This might help someone else to get an idea of the concrete stats needed. I tried about 6-7 times total on all different difficulties before I finally got 5 stars on Chapter 9. I think it's probably likely that you can fck up more, but I wouldn't know where that line between a 4 star and a 5 star rating starts. Difficulty Impossible 0 Deaths 6 Grabs 48% Damage Taken 3 Med Packs Used 0 Revival Packs Used 0 Puzzle Fails 180 Enemies Killed 60/60 Perfect Reloads 64% Accuracy 238 Dismemberments 100% Stasis Accuracy 101 Items Pick up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
He-Man Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 But it says difficulty doesn't matter for five stars on the trophy guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry94_ Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 But it says difficulty doesn't matter for five stars on the trophy guide. I'm sure it does, because on impossible I got 5 stars on all of them first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
He-Man Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'm sure it does, because on impossible I got 5 stars on all of them first time. I was able to get five stars on the easiest difficulty without any trouble, including chapter 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phodda Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I think they matter on an limited way. I think no-death runs and collectibles, plus dismemberments cont more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry94_ Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I think they matter on an limited way. I think no-death runs and collectibles, plus dismemberments cont more. Probably explains why I got 5 stars then as I got all the collectables too in my impossible playthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PratikH Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 What I've noticed is that you tend to get more stars if you collect more missable items in the level (weapon upgrades, text logs, etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Pigly_Hogswine Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I don't quite buy that difficulty doesn't affect the star rating. Whenever I play Impossible with a good run, I get 5 stars. I even had an Impossible run with 97% damage and still got 5 stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutasu Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Ok guys, I tried chapter 9 several times on different difficulties but managed to get 5 star on impossible. I suppose collectibles are main thing, because all other runs I've missed weapon or 2. Here are my stats: Impossible Performance: Death 0 Grabs 8 Damage taken 61 Med packs used 2 Revival packs used 0 Puzzle failures 8 Weapons: Shots fired 442 Enemies killed 183 Perfect reloads 61/64 Accuracy 52 Dismemberments 252 Stasis accuracy 100 Collectibles: Items collected 93 Audio logs 1/1 Text logs 3/3 Weapons 8/8 Weapon upgrades 0/0 In previous runs i've had much better stats, but missed few weapons, so aim for getting them all) now few more challenges and plat is mine.

POEMan553 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) I've tried to do Chapter 9 on Normal on two separate occasions and got 4 stars each time. The first time, I failed the puzzles 3 times, got perfect reloads, found all the items, had high accuracy and stasis accuracy, but got 4 stars. The second time, I didn't fail the puzzles, got fewer perfect reloads, got all but 1 item, and only took 59% damage, but got 4 stars. I think it's glitched on Normal. On other chapters, I would have gotten five stars with either of those performances. EDIT: Did a third attempt with 44% damage taken, 204/206 perfect reloads, no failed puzzles or restarts, 36% accuracy (although it seemed higher since I was using Force Gun/Line Gun through all of the chapter), stasis accuracy at 83%, all but 1 collectible found, yet 4 stars. I think the game's glitched for this mission on Normal. Edited April 23, 2017 by POEMan553 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4manaka Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) I'm having problems here too, missing no collectibles with no deaths and playing on normal I just get 4*. Maybe I'll retry it on impossible, when I got the impossible trophy I recall I died at least once playing this stage. PS: got 5* on 9th stage with these average stats on impossible... I'd say impossible is the way to go Deaths 0 Grabs 12 Damage Taken 124% Puzzle Failures 3 Perfect reloads 58/70 Accuracy 54% Stasis Accuracy 100% All items collected but one weapon Edited October 12, 2017 by 4manaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
