The Guitar Hero Thread

Yeah I know, I wish I'm Shipping Up To Boston was in it, but I can see why these three were. They are re-releasing the new album and I guess this is a good way to promote that. But I would take on Flannigan's Ball (I like the song but it's the most boring of the three to play in the game) and put in I'm Shipping Up To Boston in its place.

[King Ellis]

More like Flannigan likes balls.

RY chord x 50

G held for 1 second

RY chord x 50

Rinse repeat until the blue fret makes a late apperance near the end of the song.

Booooooring. The other two are pretty good though.

Of course that is just for us dull Mediums, it may be different for you pros.

It's worse on Hard :/

Flannigan's Ball is dull as hell to play. It's not a bad song, but it doesn't suit the game. The last one was a good choice with it being St. Patrick's Day (can't remember the name, the one with all the "Hi-roo" singing >_>). But yeah, I'd definitely have put Shipping in there, as it's arguably their msot well known song. and despite being a Yankees fan, Tessie is awesome.

Bah it needs a Gold membership... Forced me to use my freebie month from Lost Odyssey...

I beat Lou basically with the whammy trick. If you use the whammy power up (which is hard to get by itself. Not only do you have to hit all the star power notes in the first part of your solo, but you have to hope that the power up chosen at random, is the whammy power up) then just before lou starts playing his 100's of fast green notes after your first solo, activate the whammy, and he should die in seconds.

It's not classed as cheating, since all the whammy does is stop lou hitting so many notes that he dies, but it's the easy way out.

I started on Expert the other day, and I can't beat the Morello battle. Stupid game, battle mode is gay. And so is everyone who picks the battle tracks for Live play.

[NobBe Nobbs]

I had a lot of trouble with the Morello battle myself, not sure how I managed to beat it. Not sure how I'm going to beat Slash either, for that matter.

[Mattman]

I have beaten 2 whole songs on expert!

I am very proud. >_<

[Cadet Ember McLain]

Bah. I was going for the winning-15-online-games-in-a-row achievement, and I was up to #6 or #7, I can't remember which. I put it on Medium, so I knew I could win (don't tell me you haven't done something similar ). Along comes a guy who's gotten the "Inhuman Achievement", so I could tell it was going to be fun. He picks TDWDTG, and it's the matter of about 10 points for most of the song. 3/4 of the way through, I go to initiate Star Power, but since I'm on a controller, it's too close to the Guide button. I hit it, the Guide window pops up, but the damage was already done...

DAMN!

BIH Hard Mode

Hmmm.

Having a plectrum and actually strumming seems cool. Stiil, you'd think having the game and the grip thing will push up the cost and only 20 songs? Eh.

SUCK ON THAT RAINING BLOOD! I'm never going to perfect that, it was hard enough completing it, it can go suck a fuck.

The new Game Informer has a big article on the Aerosmith GH coming out this June. Looks to be more of the same, but a concise storyline with Aerosmith. Sadly, they are not battling the New Order in this one.

I really hope they revamp this series come time for GH4.

[Nerf]

Dropkick Murphys are not Dropkick Murphys without Walk Away.

[-A-]

FUCK YOU LOU! FUCK YOU NEVERSOFT! VICTORY!

Ah, this is the most satisfying moment in Guitar Hero history, even though that's only because the final battle is so disproportionately hard.

[the gurn]

hey guys sorry to sound thick or whatever just im thinking about getting all guitar hero series in one go but what im wondering is will whatever guitar i get either 1 2 or 3's guitar will it work on all the games in the series? obv for ps2 could anyone let me know thanx

[Sacrafice540]

I have the controllers from 1 & 2. They both work for all games and are basically the same. 3's is different, but I never tried it. I prefer the guitar from 1 personally. You can get 1 & 2 in 1 game I hear so getting 3's controller and that pack would be cheapest, but personally I would get the package for 1 and the rest solo. 80's is a good game too, just really try to find it used because it's only half the game 1, 2 & 3 are....

[METALMAN]

The Guitar Hero guitar works on all Guitar Hero games.

I feel this justifies a bump.

HAHA, FUCK YOU RAINING BLOOD ON HARD, FUCK YOOOOUUU.

Now for Lou.

Crap.

[Cactus Drags]

Man, fuck you Kaney :@

[Kaney]

Don't worry, Lou raped me.

I did the first part of Mosh 1, the bit that gives you star power absolutely perfectly, until I realised what I did and then it all went to hell, but the star power saved me and it's pretty much plain sailing from then on out. Whats amusing is that this is when I beat it, when my green button likes to crap out on me and my strum bar misses notes like crazy when alt-strumming, yet I couldn't come close ages back when my guitar actually still, you know, worked >_>
