Why this super low rarity percent?

[BEAST_IHMOTEP]

Just got myself a VR headset and started playing this game. I checked the list here to know more about the trophies and it surprised me the ultra low 0.66% of rarity. But on the other hand, the guide here says that it's a 7/10 difficulty platinum, affordable in 25 hours with 1 playthrough which all around doesn't seem TOO crazy. I mean, I've 10/10 difficulty platinums with higher percent rarity. This game would be my most rare platinum if I ever manage to get it.

 

Am I missing something? Are some of the trophies unobtainable? Is it really way harder than the guide says?

Some of the challenges, particularly for Danger Ball and Luge, are no joke. 8000 in score attack in Danger Ball is super difficult; the ball starts going very fast very quickly to the point that you barely have time to react after a couple minutes of play. It requires a decent amount of luck as well because there's no way to control where the ball is going at that speed; the best you can do is hit it and hope for the best. The luge time trials aren't as demanding but they also require near perfection and many, many attempts. I would definitely rate the platinum difficulty higher than a 7/10. 8 or 9 seems more appropriate to me.

 

Give the Danger Ball and Luge challenges a shot yourself and you'll see why the platinum is as rare as it is.

This game has also been included with the Playstation VR itself.

So, I think that many people just played it once or twice and never touched it again especially non-trophy hunters.

Thanks for clarifying. What I also noticed is that VR games usually have waay more rarity than PS4 games.

 

Skyrim VR for an example is 1.5% while the PS4 version is at 14% rarity, being the exact same list ? 

Firewall Zero Hour has an incredible 0.5% rarity while the guide says it's a 4/10 difficulty platinum.

Until Dawn has 1.5% being achievable in 10 hours according to the guide.

 

And it goes on and on... Maybe VR games doesn't appeal much to trophy hunters?

Vr games are generally just harder to platinum for the pure fact that they are vr, some people just cant handle long sessions of vr. Vr worlds though isnt that hard but its still a bit of a pain in the ass to do. In my personal opinion id do danger ball or luge trophies over the scavenger odyssey any day.

A combination of very hard trophies, one game in particular that makes you feel sick, and just not very fun experiences. Plus I think some may be unobtainable now, but down quote me on that.

my advice, drop it. Play Astro Bot immediately as it’s one of the greatest games ever made, then try resi7, wipeout et al.

 

Also, it was boxed in with most headsets whether people were interested in the games or not.

Skyrim is just too long, and well, dull. 
There are lots of easy plats on PSVR too. Trover, ghost giant, etc.

Nothing very hard for this one honestly ... the only hard part for me was Scavenger Odyssey ... because of motion sickness for me with this specific game X)

But if you are like me, just put something (like a tissu) on the headset so it sim your head ... and play on TV like a regular game with the headset on your knees to move it when needed ^^'

 

I think the rarity can be explained because (maybe) the PSVR feets more to casual gamer (who don't really care for trophy completion rate)

 

The game is good, not the best one, but you should go for this platinum

 

And i can't recommand enough Thumper as well ! A great game with an UR platinum too

That's a sick advice for when I've some trouble with any specific trophy in PSVR! Even though I really like the feeling of immersion of VR I can understand if I'm going for some difficult trophy might be too much of a hurdle.

 

That Thumper game looks great too. I really feel like I purchased a new console instead of an add-on, as I'm discovering lots of interesting games to go for. PS5 can wait for now ?

It's not an advice to make it easier ... but with some games in VR i can't play more than 5min without feeling really sick ^^'

So the only option for me to do those games, i doing it like a normal game X_x

I just started this and finally got a VR.  I got the Iron Man bundle.  Haven't tried that game yet but wanted to see what the fuss was about with the Descent game.  I was flat out amazed.  I tried the  luge game and was able to get too 3rd run.  I got to practice more on that one.  I am very happy with VR so far.  Played for about 1.5 hours with no sickness so I must be doing something right.

Ah, the 6 month later reply.

 

I just finished Skyrim in VR, 100%. It's was definitely long, though I enjoyed a lot of it. Worst part was the giant spiders. Took me about 5 weeks, though I wasn't playing it exclusively. It was also the first time I exploited the hidden chest in Dawnstar and the restoration boosting potions. I've played Skyrim several times before so I just wanted the VR experience more than the story. Melee was a bit sketchy to use, so magic was something I used a lot more than I had in past runs.

Pretty sure I've got Astro Bot so I'll have to give that a go for my next VR game.

You’ll love Astro not. Best platformer ever made for me, Mario can now retire, lol.

Just an update to this, I was enjoying PSVR Worlds so far (London Heist is one of my most satisfiying VR experiences yet) In order to know if I'll be able to get this platinum or not, I jumped to the most difficult world (Danger Ball) and trained a bit for few days. Damn is difficult ? With my best efforts I couldn't even get near around 3.000 points out of the 8.000 necessary for the trophy. I step back and enjoyed other games. I could consider coming back to this in the future but most proably not ? Wouldn't mind to 100% London Heist and Scavenger Odyssey though.

Just get the leaderboard challenges done in case the servers go down again. The luge tour one is the only one that may require a bit of practice because you have to complete it to upload your score.

You're insane! Haha, I guess its because of the motion sickness Scavengery Odyssey gives off? I have zero issue with any VR game but Scavenger Odyssey even gave me a slight bit of it but I liked it!

 

Cannot imagine someone who is very prone to motion sickness though, I could see why many don't favor it.
