The Guitar Hero Thread

Tried 3 songs on the demo on hard, none were really that fun too play. The guitar sounds too soft, IMO, plus the score display is horrible.

EDIT: The Priestess song was pretty decent. The Metal is so-so, but I can't really see myself playing the other 3 songs again once I've 5-starred them.

Man, there's a huge jump in difficulty between Tier 6 and 7. My hand nearly fell off after the QotSA song, and trying to do the Slipknot one after that didn't exactly help much.

EDIT: And I 5 starred the encore. Talk about a schizophrenic difficulty curve.

I don't have a 360 controller, so I've been playing the demo with the controller, and Evenflow looks like it'll be fun as hell once I get a controller. the song by Priestess and The Metal look good too. As far as demos go, it's a hell of a lot better than the demo for GH2.

[Gongsun Zan]

God, the last Tier is a bitch.

I can do Cliffs of Dover...and that's about it.

I played the game using the regular controller and it was fun. The Metal is a shitty song. I shall pick this up this weekend and it will be my first Guitar Hero game I've played.

I'm quite excited for this, I reserved it at Gamestop since I thought they were releasing it at midnight. I guess they're not, so fuck that. I'm going to go to Walmart tomorrow at midnight, since it's a 24 hour one, and hope to snatch one. If that happens, I'll get my money back from Gamestop.

I actually quite like the wide variety of songs just on the demo, reminds me of the first Guitar Hero in terms of variety. Anyone want to battle or do some co-op once I get it and go through the songs for a bit?

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

I'm gonna need a co-op partner, because some of the songs can only be unlocked in co-op career mode.

[Tarheels.]

I'm probably getting it at midnight tonight if Wal-Mart gets it. If not I'll have it at 9 tomorrow morning. I aim on playing it most of tomorrow and quite a bit of monday. Somebody can hit me up and live for co-op.

I'm a bit late to the dance here, but my head damn near exploded at the mention of One and Through the Fire and Flames. Good lord, if you want to five-star Fire and Flames, you better not value the use of your hand.

I tried it for the first time on medium...god.

Noticed a couple of songs on the leaked setlist from a few weeks ago that are missing from the game (unless they're unlockable in ways other than buying them from the store or career mode). Namely "Suck My Kiss" by Red Hot Chili Peppers which I was really looking forward to playing. "Sabotage" by Beastie Boys is also missing.

EDIT: Never mind, found out you unlock them in coop career mode.

Musical complexity and sheer speed do not make for an easy song to play. Apparently Dragonforce themselves have trouble replicating some of their songs on stage, so don't feel too bad about getting pwned by Through the Fire and Flames, Zan/Krauser.

[Gongsun Zan]

And somebody's already 5* it on Expert.

I tried, and I got...0%. That's right. 0%.

Man... the new Les Paul controller is really throwing me off. The body is bigger, the neck is thinner, the buttons and strum bar have a different consistency, it's longer, and I mean, I'll get used to it, but it's annoying the hell out of me for right now. The stickers that came with it, especially the ones they gave out at launch, are actually pretty cool. 'Specially the evil looking bunny.

I wish you could play the boss battle songs in single player, like, just one player playing both sections. The Tom Morello song was awesome.

[Tarheels.]

I just beat it on medium after I got it at 9 this morning. This game is fucking great. I'm going to play it most of today and tomorrow so I fully expect to Live it up with some of you.

Just a note, if you want the wireless guitar model for PS2/X360 then Wal-Mart is probably not your best bet. A lot of reports of Wal-Marts in US and Canada selling GH3 bundles with the old model SGs and X-Plorer guitars. The bundle is $10 cheaper though so if you don't care about that and want to save money then... yeah. The Wal-Mart near me only had old style bundles for 360 and PS2, but the new style for the rest of the systems. If you do go to Wal-Mart and want the Kramer just make sure that is what you are getting, they are not tricking you or anything as it shows on the front the old guitar

I am picking up a copy with the wireless guitar later today or tomorrow

Tier 4 is the best tier ever.

I heard that Wal-Mart/Xplorer bundle is due to Red Octane cutting a deal with Wal-Mart to get rid of a large quantity of Xplorer guitars they have. I guess the 360 Guitar Hero 2 didn't sell as well as they were expecting.

[ragbag]

Picked it up today for the Wii, and beat it on hard. My hands still hurt. The last battle was a fucking bitch.

Tried Through The Fire and the Flames on expert, got 1%. Great.
