DarthEder Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I will not vote yet, but leave a comment: I'm done with my first playthrough (70% of the trophies) and the game would be easy enough to give it a 1-2 rating. The bad thing is, that it has some bugs - in my case I couldn't finish a certain questline, so I didn't get the trophy for it. The consequence is, that I have to add one extra playthrough to the needed 2,5 (without knowing, if it will happen again...) Also, the trophy for getting 2000 reputation points is tricky: You'll always have to get a quest first, before you solve it, otherwise you will not get reputation for it. For example: If you run through the catacombs and pick up something interesting and find out later, that somebody is looking for that, you will only get a reward, but no reputation. You'll first have to go to that person to get the quest, then pick up the object from the catacombs and then bring it to him. This kind of sucks, as the max. amount of reputation you can get by doing everything perfectly right is just a little above 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEder Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I got my Platinum today and I voted it a 2. Nothing really difficult except the trophy for getting enough reputation points and a few annoying glitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKopetzky Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) Gave it a 3 - some really tedious und bad scripted quests, combined with a quest marker that misleads you some of the time and 2 1/2 playthroughs with a shallow story make this a rather quick but annoying platinum.

NomYacc Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I vote a 2. I played the whole time without questmarker, cause I didnt know that one exist until the last quarter of the 1st playthrough, I also prefer playing without! But to dig out the head of the girlfriend of the dead jailguard I had to resort to this marker, without it had been impossible! And the difficulty was no challenge at all! But hard was annoying cause of the thousand times u had to strike the enmey, so I prefered medium for all of my playthroughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood_Runs_Cold Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I would have to give it a 4. No, this game is not 'hard' to platinum, but considering that with certain glitches and bugs, there are a lot of things can go wrong and force people to have to backtrack. Plus that fact that you have to play the game all the way through AT LEAST twice, adds a point. The first playthrough, like most games, will take most of time for platinum, but the second playthrough isn't exactly a 5 hour speedrun either. IMO, 4 is a fair difficulty.

SirSmokalot002 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) I voted a 3 aswell. As everyone has said, the game itself is not hard, i even got the reputation trophy first go no problem, but its the bugs in the game that really let it down. I was lucky enough so only experience a few of them, but they where annoying. But if you save loads, you should have no problem achieving this Platinum Edited February 27, 2011 by SirSmokalot002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitsuru Kirijo Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I'm voting a 5 for the difficulty; but that's a purely personal score, based on playing the game on hard difficulty and without using a guide of any kind. Nothing is too hard, but the amount of damage enemies can withstand and inflict on hard is downright ridiculous. Also, the trophy for reputation points was pretty frustrating: I must have talked to the guy with the sick wife 20 times without getting the mission to retrieve the medicine (I guess I was always talking to him at the wrong time of day). Anyways, I literally spent hours trying to find all the ways to get reputation points - stumbling upon the guy with the sick wife as late in the game as I did was a life-saver. I didn't experience any glitches in the game, but I'm tempted to add a point to the difficulty just for the objective marker that frequently bore absolutely no relationship whatsoever to where you were actually supposed to go (I still don't know how I imagined to find Victor's house and a few other places based on the marker).

Tankor_smash Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Went with 4, for all the reasons listed. Mostly for the multiple play throughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AriaRobbie Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I gave it a 2 due to the fact it was very easy if you take your time with it. Aside from the freezes and a few glitches, I pretty much liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddester Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 A very fun, yet easy RPG for me. Trophies not too difficult; so I say a 1.5 rating, but I'll vote for 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpledeath98 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I wanted to vote 2 lol, but I said 3. The only tricky one is the Rep points, and I don't normally give an extra point to length of game, and I have no problem with games that take longer to platinum, but over 2 play throughs of a so so RPG is a bit much.

XNebula Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 3, very easy trophies. I didn't encounter any glitches with trophies but I did encounter various ones that forced me to restart my ps3 (not being able to use doors or anything). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIDQ Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 With all the resources available for this game, it's a pretty darned easy platinum, even though it requires more than two playthroughs. I'll give it a 3 just because there are a number of ways you can mess up your ability to get trophies on a given playthrough. But you could argue for a 2 and I wouldn't object.

weej87 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 i give it a five because without a guide it wud take ages bt very enjoyable game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blevensp1 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I gave it a 2, with a guide of course. I highly recommend this game, very charming. Underrated. http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/a/blevensp.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharksfan24 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I voted a 5. The 1st playthrough is very tedious because you have to go through all the combat trophies and side quests in order to unlock most of the trophies. The Level 32 trophy was brutal because it took 2 hours to jump from lvl 28 to 32. The Burglar trophy was very nerve wrecking because I got it at the very end of the game so I would recommend keeping track of the XP you get from unlocking each door/chest. Quest Master is glitched because it did not pop at the 50th completed quest. Instead it popped at the 52nd quest. Even if you try to speed run through the game on the 2nd & 3rd playthrough, you still need to have a certain amount of reputation points in order to progress through the game which is very tedious & irritating. Overall, this game is platinumable within 30-35 hours if you have a lot of patience to put up with a terrible port filled with glitches, game crashes and crappy voice acting + graphics. If you follow a written walkthrough, this game is manageable. Venetica is one of the worst games I have played this generation. I seriously considered skipping the plat but I couldn't believe that I somehow found the motivation to complete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggaloj Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I gave this a 3 with a guide. Really easy but is extremely boring. The first playthrough was okay but the 2nd and 3rd was just a drag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triace68 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) I voted a 3. Overall the game is easy, but there can be some set backs with gameplay freezes. I didn't experience any NPC's disappearing from my game. It was fun the first time through the game, but replay value is little. I would only recommend this to a RPG lover.

Gay Angel Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Hello, I voted a 3 difficulty, not really difficulty at all but as everyone has posted, the bugs, glitches and such do get a bit annoying, which is always best to have a second save file. Thankfully I only experienced a few of these problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stgermain Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I just got the platinum trophy and I rated this a 2. Nothing is difficult at all, as long as you follow a step by step guide and not mess up your reputation by being careless. Playing through the game a second time was tedious though, even if it isn't that long. This was a rather glitchy game and it occasionally crashes.

celtic_blade Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 3 is about right, as most have said before me - I guess it could be less if you dont have any glitches/bugs to deal with. Reputation points were my biggest problem - I followed the guide but it still glitched out on me on the first playthru. Save often and save multiple times to help avoid later frustration.

LoJac963 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 voted a 3 myself Game is very very easy but insanely boring IMO. However not too bad of a game I suppose if you don't mind the 2.5 playthroughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSDoom Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Just got it a couple hours ago and I'd give it a 3. Fairly straightforward and considering you can play entirely on Easy there's nothing really all that challenging gameplay wise, but playing through 2+ times and grinding to level 32 can be a pain. However, without using the guide here it'd probably be a bit more difficult, i.e. guild quests, finding all the treasures/pale hearts, etc. Not too terrible of a game really and I clocked it around 22 hours total playtime.
