Asphyx1ateD Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 6 for the average gamer. Big Boss isn't hard at all if you're an MGS vet. This Platinum is merely time consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amarante_24 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 6 for the average gamer. Big Boss isn't hard at all if you're an MGS vet. This Platinum is merely time consuming. Just did BB myself, i'll give it a 7 for the bike chase and liquid's boss fight. It's challenging but not impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOLANTON Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Just did BB myself, i'll give it a 7 for the bike chase and liquid's boss fight. It's challenging but not impossible Liquid was piss easy only died once because I got hit hard by that punch in his second form. For the Bike and the Crying Wolf part, this gets an 8 from me.

BIG B0SS Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I've done it all before, so I'll give it an 8 when I get my platinum. Chicken run in addition to 7 other runs makes it time consuming. The Big Boss emblem makes it challenging, but it's not as hard as the MGS2 Big Boss run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Pliskin Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Didn't voted yet, but I can say that as a MGS vet, I've played this game over 40 times & done every requirement needed for the trophies. However, the last time I played this game was in 2010 and going back I do fell umm, old. Time will tell if it's a easy plat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M-Easy Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) I haven't put my vote in yet until I get my plat but anywhere in the 8-9 is where expect to see this game end up. Edit. finally got my plat. I went with a 9. Between The Boss run, chicken run, and the minimum 8 playthroughs; that combination could test anyone.

KingBroly Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I voted a 9 out of 10 Reasons #1 - The game requires a significant amount of patience, expertise and memorization in order to achieve Platinum. #2 - Simple mistakes/oversights can lead one to play large portions of gameplay over again in order to achieve what you want. #3 - Flashback Mania feels ridiculously random and arbitrary #4 - A minimum of 8 playthroughs is ridiculous for any game to achieve Platinum #5 - Stocking up for Boss Extreme is preferred to make things easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancientflounder Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 8/10 sounds about right. A lot of that stems from the BB emblem run on The Boss Extreme difficulty. There are a few sections in that that made me almost pull out my hair when I did it back in 2008. Holy shit, the bike chase in Act 3 is brutal at times and parts of Acts 1 and 2 can be frustrating due to the amount of potential eyes that can see you trying to sprint through the area.

mcclane3 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Yes, BBE is difficult but only if you don't know what to do/fight. Other than that, it's time consumming only for the chicken/cow emblem, you can skip all cutscenes and barely having to invest 3-4 hours tops for the rest of the emblems. EDIT: Forgot to mention that before the patch, I did the BBE run (literally, run!) and ended up with a time of 3 h 15 min, not bad for a MGS vet like myself.

Not much difficulty. Just "Flat-Out Time Consumming." Besides, if you rush your playthrus, you can get a 1 h 30 min time at the end. Don't take too long. But, I guess some people don't have that much time to spare. And about that BBE time; My best was 3 h 22 min. Looks like my personal best has been bested again.

ZOLANTON Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 It just feels right to vote now that I have the platinum. I therefore give this an 8, while listening to this, remembering my platinum journey [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVfBJG5_7DY]Metal Gear Solid 4: Main Theme - YouTube[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilHiteWarrior Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Im gonna give it an 8 cuz of the necessity of the Big Boss emblem but fortunately the ability to save as much as you like keeps it from being a 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmithyReborn86 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I give this game a 9/10 very challenging indeed it was worth the wait thank you Hideo Kojima for patching this game been waiting 4 years now since i got into trophy hunting ive wanted this in my collection its been a ride and 1 i have enjoyed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asphyx1ateD Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 EDIT: Forgot to mention that before the patch, I did the BBE run (literally, run!) and ended up with a time of 3 h 15 min, not bad for a MGS vet like myself. No offence but that's kinda slow. My first Big Boss run was 3:06, and that was a week after the game came out 4 years ago... lol. Any MGS vet shouldn't be happy with anything over 2:40. OT: I still think 8 is way too high. Stuff like Killzone 2 on Elite would get an 8 or 9 from me, and that game was brutally difficult. MGS4 doesn't come close!

twyz Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Don't think I have the skills to get this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGarnigle Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I'd probably give this a 6/10, I did most of the requirements before the patch but I'll do it again I'm sure. Getting the Big Boss Emblem in this is really easy compared to the BB emblem in MGS2, or the Foxhound emblem from MGS3. Unlimited saves means you'll have an easy enough time of it.
