NarcissusBaz Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) Well the death mode is piss easy on Vita. Don't play it on big screen tv, you won't be able to see everything and time your moves perfectly. Need 3 more trophies.

Kubanga Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Sorry you can't finish a 5/10 plat which requires 70% luck, I guess it really isn't for everyone... Oh right you mean that game I haven't played yet? I doubt It will be worse than some of the games I have done. Maybe you should quit judging other people because you had a easy time with it. It would be like me going on a forum about people sucking at dark souls and be like dark souls? That game was so easy you are just bad at the game.

Manuelito Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) This game is just pure luck. I prefer trying to get Mirror edge platinum rather than trying to finish the death mode in this game, at least Mirrors Edge is about skills.

Shug244 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Lol sound shapes death mode was extremely easy for me,when I read about how hard it was I was tempted to not do it but once I decided to go for the plat n I started it up it was laughable,there were only 2lvs that I had to do more than 3x and only one lv that I had to do 12x Edited August 9, 2015 by Shug244 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NarcissusBaz Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) there were only 2lvs that I had to do more than 3x and only one lv that I had to do 12x I'm not calling you a liar, but I just can't believe it. I would like to see you live on twitch doing them all in a row. There are levels you won't be able to finish for a few minutes (physically impossible, literally) due to terrible notes placement and a very strict time limit.

There are levels you won't be able to finish for a few minutes (physically impossible, literally) due to terrible notes placement and a very strict time limit. If I actually had anything that I could use to stream on twitch than I would,n I'm not lying even though I greatly understand how it is hard to believe and just like everyone has been saying it's based off luck, do you wanna know how lucky I really was well here you go on 8straight I finished directly on 0.0 which I could not believe it was just ridiculous, all you really need to do is learn when to hold or release r1 and time your jumps and how long to hold your jump,also it very much helps to pretty much make your mind go blank or also do something else to distract yourself as you play so you basically just go off what you feel n not of what you think is the right time.that is the state of mind I have to reach for basically every game that requires precise timing to beat,I listen to music or sorta watch TV but mostly I just think about other things like what I would have changed in different books or anime's I enjoyed or about a memory I wish I had done different,basically I don't focus on the game I'm currently playing n when I do that I succeed at what I'm doing in that moment .

NarcissusBaz Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (...) You must be insanely good with platformers then. I've just done the hardest half of death mode in one short sitting (done the previous half yeasterday) so yeah, it's not hard at all. I think it catches you by surprise if you've played a few casual games before and suddenly get more of a challenge. I still say this mode is tedious and only one map was fun - Mechanica. It was long (over a minute), it demanded the use of all skills and cunningness you acquired throughout the game and if all levels were so well designed I'd give this game a solid 7/10. Got 3 more plats now :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newhopes Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 It's not even hard, it just comes down to pure luck on note placement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haysi_Fantayzee Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Watching some people broadcast this on twitch last night, they was having a hard time and I got bored watching them, so heaven only knows how I would feel if I played it (not going to happen).

Cyan Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Galaxanoids was the worst level for me. It probably took me like 2 hours, I dunno. I lost my sense of time. Yes, it's luck based, but it wouldn't work otherwise if the notes didn't spawn randomly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMDE Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 but it wouldn't work otherwise if the notes didn't spawn randomly. I have to disagree with this. With some tweaking, they could have kept the spawning random, but made sure they don't spawn in such a way that it becomes near impossible or impossible to beat. Same with making sure they don't become too easy either. They just went the easy route of adding some spawn points, and just picking at random which one to spawn at next. What I suggest really isn't all that hard to do, it's pretty simple math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call random easy, medium, hard and impossible difficulty for difficult, but rather poor gameplay design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMIB99 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Spiral staircase is the f*cking worst, 20 notes in 22 secs. And sometimes a spider sits on one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQUIDWARD32 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'm glad somebody made this thread, I agree. I've just got the platinum for this game and it has also made me a PSN Level 13... and, to rate this platinum for difficulty, I must say I'm not really sure. It's certainly not my most difficult, though not the easiest either. For a lot of the death mode levels, although it did take some level of good playing to complete them, luck was what played the biggest part in whether you were able to complete it or not. Galaxanoids was for certain the worst level and it took me quite a while to complete (I think at least 30 minutes), but when I completed it, it wasn't because I played extremely well or anything, just the notes were finally where I needed them to be... so where this game was most difficult, it was because you had to get lucky rather than be skilled. I do like difficult platinums very much, often more so than easy platinums as you can actually earn them, and really achieve something when you win... but if you just eventually get lucky, which is what this game was, it's nothing like the same. I was not very impressed by Death Mode, honestly. Spiral staircase is the f*cking worst, 20 notes in 22 secs. And sometimes a spider sits on one of them. I thought the last three in that album were far from the worst... Spiral Staircase was kind of fun, the spiders usually move out of the way quite quickly, and I got this one in about 5 minutes.

Bullstomp Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I did not enjoy this "game" one bit. Actually I take that back, I enjoyed two bits; Hearing the platinum pop and then immediately deleting it from my hard drive. The rest of the time spent on this game was awful. As many others said, if this game had more to do with skill instead of blind luck, it might've been mediocre. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yourwifemykidsx Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) holy fuck deathmode is seriously just about luck. pretty stupid if you ask me. did the first level and i feel like punching someone Edited August 18, 2015 by yourwifemykidsx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffyAssassin64 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Yeah, I generally thought they were well-designed, but the randomness on some levels made tries literally impossible. Like on the one with the four metal 'poles' and the fire jumping frog thing; sometimes I literally had to run from the far right to the far left 10 times in a row (making it impossible), while other times they were right next to each other. Satisfying to get the plat, but also kind of dumb Really enjoyed the game though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBJ85 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 my fisrt thoughts where : 3 easy plats by plat only one game and use save sync between PS3 - PS4 and Vita. But this hard mode is really luck based! after trying a lot of times i stoped and there are no "easy" plats for me! HARD MODE IS REALY BPoBSaFL (Big Pile of Bull S*** and F***ing Luck!) was tinking of using a 100% save game of the internet but that 'd be cheating...

Haysi_Fantayzee Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I know you didn't but I am amazed that someone would even think of using a game save to obtain the platinum trophy. It is as though there is some shame in not 100% the game or something... well I tell you one thing, there is far greater shame in cheating.

EctoCooler_87 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I'm gonna be the millionth bajillionth to say that the fact that its luck based is BS. Having one shot to do it? Fine. Having a strict time limit? Sure. Randomizing everything else? Yeah, there goes another game I'm not going to bust my acorns over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekir Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 8 stages left in hard mode. I'm with you guys, luck based trophies suck donkey balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
