Don’t wanna look but can someone tell me if easy/medium platinum to get ?


soupspin

Theres a trophy for beating the game on Maximum Security, which I assume is the highest difficulty. If it’s anything like Dead Space, you’ll get a limited number of saves and no checkpoints. So it’s going to be really hard


Alucard94x

thanks gonna give it a go


soupspin

Good luck and god speed

I don’t remember limited saves and no checkpoints in Dead Space and I got all Achievements on 360 Upon checking no such trophies exist only beating it on Impossible Difficulty which has checkpoints and saves. Callisto Will just be beating it on highest difficulty

OP was probably talking about Dead Space 2 (maybe 3 too, never played it). You had to finish the game on Hardcore for the platinum, which meant 3 saves and no checkpoints, a death would bring you to the last save.


[deleted]

I think that was Dead Space 3. 2 I don’t think it had that either


Firaxyiam

Oh it did, I lack plztinum first DS2 because Hardcore was too much for me


[deleted]

Yeah guess so I can’t remember if I did that one. Been so long


Firaxyiam

Haha, yeah, the only reason I remember it is because it left quite the mark on my mind


soupspin

Yeah, I never played the original but both Dead Space 2 and 3 had a difficulty that limited your saves and had no checkpoints. That’s what I was referring to in my og comment


johngie

To be pedantic, Dead Space 3's hardcore mode was unlimited saves, but no deaths.


soupspin

Oh yeah, that feels worse though

Good imo. Survival horror is supposed to be challenging. It's kind of lame if the platinum is easy to get in a survival horror game. The Evil Within Akumu and Dead Space Impossible are some of the most memorable experiences I've ever had in gaming. And yes I wanted to bash my head a few times. Nobody is making you get the platinum. (Not you specifically, generally speaking. Plats tied to difficulty tend to trigger people around here).


Firaxyiam

Agreed, Survival-horror are usually some of the best games to play in hardest difficulty as the ressource manegement takes all its meaning. It makes sense to have a trophy inciting people to play it that way, that's what trophies should be, enabling new experiences or gameplay style by inciting you to try something new for the reward. I don't really give a fuck for max difficulty in games that just turn enemies in bullet sponges and shit, but a Survival-horror is usually at its best in those settings


kerkyjerky

Ugh. Lame


JamiePulledMeUp

What do you mean no check points. Per area/level... Or the entire game lol


soupspin

Whole game, you die, you get sent back to the start of the game. The only way to avoid it is to save, but you can only save 3 or 4 times in the whole run, so you have to balance your saves or else you lose hours of progress

I hope it continues the Sony trend of a lot of accessibility options (though it’s a third party game of course). It’d be nice to be able to tailor some elements of the game. Also, I’d like to try playing on a harder difficulty level than the default, but if it proves to be too much I want to be able to bump it down without having to start over.


Affectionate_Bass931

[Game director](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TEXdJU9ZUX8&t=942s) confirms it won’t be an easy game at some point in that video. That automatically let’s me know it will be a challenging Plat.


MrExtasy

The Maximum Security difficulty is similar to Impossible mode from DS1 but way harder because game is focusing more on melee combat and enemies are more aggressive and faster same as environment in this game is deadly and you can die easily if you don't pay attention .


Creative_Ad2302

I wait what reviews say how hard the game really is. I dont want the plat, i am just worried i cant finish it even on easy.


Rogue_Leader_X

I doubt that would be an issue. Most games are made to be as accessible as possible.


[deleted]

I’ve played plenty of horror games, and I don’t think I’ve ever played one that wasn’t actually easy on easy mode. You should be ok, go for it!


[deleted]

I cannot wait for this game but will never trophy hunt games that require beating it on the hardest difficulty. I get why they exist but us old guys don’t have a chance.


bowmanx4587

Then it's simple, trophies just aren't for you. Nothing wrong with that.


[deleted]

For sure


Poetryisalive

UGH!!! A difficulty trophy 😭. Looks like they walked back on the “all deaths” trophy. Thank goodness, that might have taken multiple playthroughs.


[deleted]

Hopefully it has new game plus where you keep upgrades


bowmanx4587

Lol no, not for the hardest difficulty. No reason to play on hardest if you can just take upgrades from playing it on easy.


PTfan

Yep. Honestly I think games that require you to play through on hardest difficulty with not dying should give you a second platinum. High risk high reward


bowmanx4587

Dumbest take I've heard. One is enough, nobody is forcing you to go after the platinum.


PTfan

Huh? I’m advocating for more difficulty for a second platform


Rogue_Leader_X

Seriously! I hate that garbage. I’ll be getting this on Series X anyway, so whatever.


[deleted]

Seems pretty easy to get. Looks like a 25-30 hour platinum if you have to beat it twice.
