lumphy101 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I don't understand how this game's plat is 18% rarity when Guacamelee is 20% and I am having the WORST time with it. This was my first Vita game ever and I managed to snag the plat in under 4 days. Not that hard. Guess it's a lack of commitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollers23 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Both plats were easy. Took me about 5 days to get them. Guacamelee was sometimes challenging but still really easy. Edited January 27, 2014 by Rollers23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Kiba Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I think it's because more people own Gravity Rush than Guacamelee so a bit more people are likely to have gotten the platinum for Guacamelee. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HowIPendragon Posted January 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Guacamelee was a proper challenge, but it definitely isn't one of the hardest ones to get. Gravity Rush on the other hand has some terrible mechanics and controls. I don't understand how it can have such a high platinum rate.

Bucknerd Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'm actually in the middle of playing Gravity Rush and I had every intention of making it my first plat but the challenges scare me, particularly gravity slide. I'm going to keep trying but, due to the mechanics, I wouldn't exactly call this easy simply because of the All That Glitters trophy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you upgrade all your skills you'll be going so fast with your gravity slide it makes those challenges easy, even with the sometimes shitty controls. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I have to silver/gold metal all the challenges and defeat one more rare Nevi for my Plat and it's rough. Cranked through the game and the rest of the trophies fairly quickly, but these challenges are a big roadblock. At this point, it's one of those games I just want to be done with... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_73 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) I f**k**g hate those challenges. Those challenge trophies are my only obstacles in getting Platinum trophy in this game. There's a glitch in Guacamelee (I don't know whether it has been fixed by a later patch or not) that can be used to play the game in normal mode until the final boss. Just switch the difficulty to hard mode for the final boss, and you get the gold trophy for beating the game on hard mode even though you only played in hard mode for boss alone.

Goro Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Gravity Rush was simple. Guacamelee is just too damn frustrating for me to bother with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJoBelfast Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I got the plat on Guacamelee! was a lot of fun and a challenge. Gravity Rush's camera is more than a challenge its annoying and nauseating in my opinion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucknerd Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Quick question since I can't seem to find the answer anywhere: will I be able to go back after the main story and fight the rare nevi and gold medal the challenges? I always assumed as much since people suggest putting that off until the end of the game but as I tried to start episode 20 bearded looney man who watches me sleep warned I may not be able to go back and do any of that. And God help me with the challenges. Just tried a few with my badass stats and I'm still just silver medaling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do anything that you may have missed after you complete the main story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacio_Luna Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) When I was playing this at first I really enjoyed it. But around like chapter 10 I completely lost interest in the game. I don't even know why I lost interest. Might re-download it in the near future and give it another chance.

lumphy101 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 The challenges are simple do them last fully upgraded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amebapiko Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I lost interest in Gravity Rush but I managed to go back soon after to get the platinum, I do love the game but it does take some adapting, the trophies are very straight forward and easy with an upgraded Kat. Also, it's got some of the nicest looking trophies! Guacamelee is a very short platinum and for some orbs it is a real challenge but it won't take too long until your platforming skills will come into play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomato Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Gravity rush is an easy plat just have kat fully upgraded for the challenges (and try not break your vita with gravity slide), and for the rare nevi fights gravity kick at 6 is a must since it you can go through enemies projectiles and all... the fights against the rare nevi are extremely repetitive and boring however. Im about to start Guacamelee soon after I get Rayman Origins plat which is 13% rare apparently which kinda surprised me since its pretty easy.

lumphy101 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 The rare nevi are fairly simple. For the first, just go about normally. The second, I believe fly above it, let it punch, then attack 3 times, retreat. It's arduous but it takes 5 min. The third was the same deal. Just dodge in midair then attack the orbs. Wait until you have a charged attack, and then let it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCFCadam Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I have to say the controls on this game is god-awful, when you gravity slide the control of it is just non existent (i know your meant to turn your vita but its still terrible). also camera angles are bad, half the time you find your self upside down and it completely confuses me. The chances of me getting the platinum on this game are very slim, mainly because i cant be bothered to master the controls of this game (maybe because im just rubbish aswell). I'm looking forward to completing this game and clearing the ridiculous 1457MB of my system for a better game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willstown Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Just platted this after thinking I never would be able to beat the challenges when 1st playing the game. If you are starting out, I would say don't worry about how crazy the challenge times may seem. Once you are fully upgraded they'll mostly be a cakewalk. A couple will be trickier but generally you won't take that many attempts to get the down. You will need to upgrade your skills to the max to beat the times though. Now to check out the DLC.

PSNP is crap i left Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) Yeah, im guessing it's because lots of people own the game but never played it. Guacamelee! though was a damn fun game. Not too hard and not too easy. A fair challenge Edited May 30, 2014 by Shin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtskyKG Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I guess it is just me having trouble navigating this game. I always seem to fall into the gravity pit and I have a hard time finding the "goal/marker" per mission 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful84 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) It hasn't been easy for me so far. Like many others in this thread have stated, the challenges are a pain (especially the DLC ones). The problem that I'm seeing with the game is that, far too often you have to control the camera just as much as the character. Its like having to be the camera man while trying to play the game! I do see the necessity in giving players complete control over the game's camera in a game like this but it truly is a catch 22. While the player does require the ability to point the camera in any direction in order to have the freedom to fly, stop, and redirect where ever they want, this causes the issue of always having to make sure that camera is aligned with whatever actions are taken. For example, the messiness that happens when trying to land somewhere that sits on a 90 degree angle. Countless times I've aimed for Kat to land on a specific area of the ground, only for her to somehow land on the adjacent wall right above it which then leads to a plethora of things going wrong. Either: 1. She will not leave the wall that she is now hanging off of the first 3 times I attempt for her to land on the initial piece of ground (now right beneath her) that I intended for her to land on in the first place. 2. The camera goes haywire and I can no longer tell what is what anymore or even where the heck I am. 3. When attempting to leave the wall, I go flying off somewhere into the environment either out of confusion or because of the shotty controls. This is usually associated with #2. ^ All of this is just ONE example of the many issues that I consistently deal with when playing this game. The worse part about this and all the other issues are when they happen during challenges in which (most) there is a time limit associated with the ranking system. And please don't even get me started about the lack of a "Restart" option during missions/challenges and the PSOne long load times in between quitting & starting them over again. I don't know if I can call this a "bad" game but I do look at it similarly as I do with the early Resident Evil games: having controls so bad and doing nothing else necessarily all that well to distract from that where its nearly impossible for me to enjoy the game. I'm trying to stick with it...I really am, but honestly its only out of my own philosophy of finishing what I start. If it wasn't for that or if I knew just how bad these control/camera issues were before playing this, I wouldn't even be playing this right now.

savageamusement Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 When I began this game I found the controls rather cumbersome, but after a couple of hours it all just clicked and I really started to enjoy the game. The gravity slide mechanic is still all kinds of difficult, but I got to grips with it after a bit of practice - still bloody hard, but I was able to complete the challenges without too much trouble. Just keep going for them and eventually you will get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechniqueSan Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I disagree. Not to sound like an asshole, but i consider myself a very skilled all around gamer. And i had troubles with the flight controls, very finicky and unpleasant. Then you throw in annoying time based challenges, everyone loves these. Mixed with awful controls, even better. I couldn't bring myself to even finish the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageamusement Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I got pretty good at falling accurately whilst I was playing and dicking about. The time based challenges didn't cause too much of a problem to me, only one of the sliding challenges had me stuck for a bit. I suppose I got lucky with some of the challenges but I loved the game very much, had a blast with it. Can't wait for the sequel to land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
