The Offical Guitar Hero series thread

[K/H_Addict]

is anyone looking forward to GH2?


My friend has the playable demo of it.


Possible Spoiler:
Strutter
Shout at the Devil
YYZ
You Really Got Me

are the four songs on it. All 4 modes are playable on it, as well as a new character (I don't remember his name). He's already gotten 4 stars on all of them on Hard mode.


more possible spoilers:

There are now 3-button chords to hit, and apparently one (or more) of the songs have you switch from 3-button to 2-button and back again repeatedly.

According to my friend, Hard mode on this game is equilavent to Expert mode in the first, but that's all opinion.



The game is due out November 7th, and can be bought with or without a guitar controller (it is compatible with the original controller).


EDIT: Changed it to include ALL guitar hero games, rather than just GH2


EDIT: Posted GH3 friend codes (Wii):

Isn't this game just the lazy man's equivalent of DDR?

[K/H_Addict]

pretty much. I like it much better than DDR though. I am much more coordinated with my hands than i am with my feet.

[yagyuninja]

Isn't this game just the lazy man's equivalent of DDR?

No. DDR is the nerd version of Guitar Hero.

I have them both.

[reapersaurus]

I haven't been interested in ANY console game since Atari 5200, and I'm wanting Guitar Hero 2.

Serious.

It's THAT good of game.

[moorific]

No. DDR is the nerd version of Guitar Hero.

I have them both.
Good point :D

[LordCharos]

guitar hero 2 is definately one of the best games ive ever played. omg talk about hard

[K/H_Addict]

I bought my copy on saturday and beat it on medium. Then i set 2 goals for myself: Beat Freebird on hard and beat Jessica on expert. Beat the both yesterday (finally). 2 hours later, my file deletes itself so i now have to do it all again.

wow, you beat freebird on hard? i dont have GH2, but i do have the first one. i beat Bark at the Moon on hard, but only a 3 star rating.....i barely got through, and i thought my fingers were going to fall off.

[K/H_Addict]

yeah, but i only got 3 stars and i barely squeezed by it from lucky star power.



There's like 1600 notes in Freebird (hard) and i hit around 1100 of them. There's like 19 consecutive guitar solos too (A-S).........


My friend can make it to about 90% on expert before he fails...i've seen a youtube video of it on expert and that guy mut have no life. 5 stars on expert with over 450K points.....

[player_of_volleyball]

yeah, but i only got 3 stars and i barely squeezed by it from lucky star power.

possible, but highly unlikely, seeing as how an actual guitar is much much much more intricate. the GH controller has one area to strum, where a real guitar has like 6. Frets are also completely up and down the neck rather than just one area...

yeah, my friend who's actually in a band and plays lead guitar is freakin awesome on a real guitar....but struggles with guitar hero. i mean, he was a lot better than i was when he FIRST picked up the game, but after a while, i got better than him. he definitely doesnt have as much trouble reaching all the keys though.

[noodles]

I am eagerly awaiting this game. I loved GH1. And I would agree that DDR is the nerd version of this. This is lightyears better than DDR.

[K/H_Addict]

I just now finished Jessica on Expert. I have been trying for about a week to beat it without star power (curse you, Guitar solo G!!!!!) and i finally did!!!


My highest score is 137,258 (Jessica/Expert). Anyone here beaten it (most likely)?

[Havokscry]

I see that this is coming out for the 360 with a spiffy new designed guitar.

[K/H_Addict]

yup. my friend doesn't like the guitar it is coming out with; supposedly they mangled the button placement. According to him, the start/select buttons are out of reach and the strummer and whammy bar are too far down or something.


It's also supposed to be able to let you download your own songs and create your own notes for it, but that's Xbox 360 exclusive.

[Supergeek]

A buddy of mine picked this up a couple of days ago and I played it last night. It ROCKS! I couldn't stop playing and didn't get home until 1:00 this morning. I've got to go play some more tonight.
And I thought it was goung to be lame

[NecroBlade]

My girlfriend played it ONCE in the store and got hooked. She has it now and has been playing nonstop. I have yet to play, though.

[Dennys]

GH2: Rocks the 80's comes out 7/17 or so.

I just picked this up for my son (yeah, right)... He's struggling along on easy mode... I'm just starting medium. I think I'll hurt myself before I gever get to hard. And If I try expert, you can lock me up.....

Yep. Can't wait for Gh: 80's!


I'm 16 songs away from declaring expert mode mastered.

[Jonathan]

Whoa! GH 80s?!? That's worth buying the system, game, and controllers!!! OR, just driving up to Austin more to play with my buds who will most likely get it :D

[0rbital]

The 80s songs are rumored that they will be available on Live for the 360 version. Probably true. I have 5 starred every song on the 360 version on Medium. I'm working my way through hard which quite a step up in difficulty from medium.

[GForce3062]

I've played GH2 once, and I can easily say I mastered easy mode playing it only one time. :headbang: I REALLY wanna get this game. Is it any fun without the guitar?

[Dennys]

Ewwww... It's not called joystick hero, ya know?

Saving up to get my son a wireless guitar so we can dual jam.

[K/H_Addict]

Ewwww... It's not called joystick hero, ya know?

In lieu of contributing to the more recent GH thread, i have come here.


I can't WAIT for Guitar Hero Encore: Rock the 80's!

I'm still working on my Gh2 file (PS2)...i have beaten hard and expert mode, but i still need 5 stars on 15 songs in expert (and i haven't been able to beat Jordan yet)...

[K/H_Addict]

Have you looked at http://heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=3339 ?

Or Guitar hero 3 that comes out in the fall, or Rock Hero (2 guitars, Drum set, and microphone that doubles as a tambourine or cowbell) with 4 player action..


That would be Rock Band. :P And GH3 hasn't been confirmed for the fall yet, and honestly, i'm not too excited for it :?

Why not?


Because i've seen the set list so far, and i've only heard of 3 or so songs (at least they're good songs), and i've seen gameplay footage, and it's not exactly impressive, IMO.

[ChilliDog]

80's Edition is going to be awesome

And I suggest trying to play GH without the guitar lol, it's insane.
I can't stand that the package deal is $80 while the game alone is $50 and the guitar alone is $60. It's like, not worth getting two guitars. That's one reason why I haven't bought it yet.


I didn't like this game at first, before I ever played it I decided that I wouldn't because it would be lame and everyone would think that they're amazing at guitar just because they can play a video game. As a musician I decided that just playing my guitar would be enough.

Then, after GH2 came out I decided to check it out at my friends house. Now, every month or so a bunch of us get together and have "GH Parties." It's a blast. I love the game. ALOT. Lol. I don't own it yet because I don't really need it. 2 of my close friends, close distance wise as well, own it and so does my older brother who stops by all the time (21 and basically lives at his girlfriends house :-P) So I get to play not OFTEN but often enough. Within probably playing 10 times, maybe doing 3 songs each time, I decided to move up to Hard mode. I started a career on my brothers version and beat it in 1 1/2 days on hard (he left and wouldn't let me keep the game here :( ) I've been trying to master expert for a couple weeks.

And tonight I went to Wal-Mart on a scape-hunt (I was let down) and saw that GH2 was set up in the electronics section. Some little kid was playing it so I waited patiently. He failed "You Really Got Me" like 4 times, getting 10% into it each time, before giving up. I took over and decided that since I haven't done that song in a while, I'd go for it. I completed it on expert (98%) and put the guitar down only to realize that the kid had been standing there the whole time. He had this look on his face that I didn't know what to make of. Not sure if he was mad, sad, amazed. I don't know but I walked away because I didn't want to cause trouble or upset a little kid....again.


Whew. That's too much to type at 4am. Anyway, love the game, can't wait to get 80's Edition.

[K/H_Addict]

No, no, no, no, no. The bundle is $79.99 retail. Wireless guitars are $50-$60, but that's because they're, well..wireless. You can get a standard corded guitar from EBgames for close to 20 or 25. I think they're about 30 or so new at like circuit city or something. I just recently bought a wireless one because i had a target gift card.



And, unless i have been misinformed, GH 80's wi'll not be sold with a guitar, nor will it have any bonus songs. And it comes out a week from today!

[Scape_Scrub11]

In GH1 have to beat Bark at the Moon on Expert I got 97% and failed....
In GH2 has anyone played on hyperspeed its so fun the code is Orange Blue Orange Yellow Orange Blue Orange Yellow....now expert is too slow!

[CupidsArt]

The GF loves this series and often plays it for hours, that is until she complains that her wrist and fingers hurt, :lol:

They are good games all around, but I've never been one for them. I like my shooters and puzzlegames, :D

ehh, im not much for FPS, but i'm definitely willing to give them a try on Wii when i get a chance.

[Dennys]

I was in a gamestop and they confirmed the release of GH 3 for Late October. Beat Medium, trying to 5 star it then moving to Hard <sigh>

[Talin4]

lol, funny guitar hero related comic:
http://www.roosterteeth.com/media/viewItem.php?id=323

[K/H_Addict]

Slash (G'NR) is a playable character in GHIII.

[Dennys]

EB Games called today, my preorder of Rocks the '80's will be available tomorrow after 12:00!

:banana:

[K/H_Addict]

I never got around to pre-ordering. I went into GameCrazy on sunday though and tried, but with 2 days till it came out, i was too late. I did give them my name and number, but this was after standing at the counter for about 15 minutes, while a group of people felt it was absolutely necessary to walk BEHIND the counter to get the employees attention to ask for a Gamecube and then have a 10 minute debate on which f'in color to get. I hate game crazy.

[noodles]

I'm officially a guitar hero god. I have learned to solo and it's like i'm playing a brand new game now. I don't even see notes scrolling down anymore, I see patterns.

It's like the scene in the Matrix where Neo sees the world turn to code. I'm basically saying that I see the matrix now.

oh, how i'd love to accept that challenge! Unfortunately, i cannot, for the distance between us two is far too immense.

[Drumline3469]

I got really really good, but then didn't play for a month and now I am having troubles with 5 staring hard. I was 5 starring expert for a while... Just one quick question... Is it humanly possible to get 100% on Jordan on expert?

[K/H_Addict]

i don't think so. not without cheating. I'm more worried about the 12 second solo on "Because, it's Midnite" by limozeen from Rocks the 80s

[Drumline3469]

I think if you succede Buckethead comes and kills you... I don't have GH 80's yet but MAN I want it!

[K/H_Addict]

Ehh....try and rent it first. It's a $40 game, but IMO, it's one of those that you like or you don't like. No in between. I feel like this game was thrown together in a week or something. like most high-school projects. Done the night before it's due. It's not a bad game, not in the least, but with only 30 songs and no bonus songs, it's not quite as good as GH1 or GH2.

[Dennys]

/agree, and, quite frankly, after the 4th set, the rest of the song's don't impress me as "rocks the 80's".

I do hear that classic rock bands are flooding Activision with reqests to be in GH 3 and beyond..

[Drumline3469]

How did I get from 4 starring any song on expert to 81% on Freya on hard? Man I should take 4 month breaks less often...

[Scape_Scrub11]

Anyone seen this......Well I cant get the link to work but youtube, Guitar Hero Six 100%!!!

[K/H_Addict]

/agree, and, quite frankly, after the 4th set, the rest of the song's don't impress me as "rocks the 80's".

that would be amazing. I want more aerosmith (cept more accurate) and some more Hendrix and some Stones and some beatles (Helter Skelter would be nice) and some ACDC and Led Zeppelin :drool:

[Dennys]

I'm more classic, Eagles would be nice. And ZZ Top, yes more Aerosmith. Bangles cut of "Hazy SHade of Winter", etc etc... More Rock, less metal for me..

[Havokscry]

IGN gave the 80's edition a 7.2 out of 10 saying it was decent. I think the other entries in the series scored over a 9 out of 10. I think their biggest beef was the song selection and the lack of a challenge. I was going to pick it up, but I'll think I'll pass now.

For those that haven't bought it yet, Best Buy has it on sale this week for $39.99 with a free $15 gift card with purchase.

[Tiberius]

The best buy deal makes it worth it right there. My wife was looking over the song list and as a big 80's fan said she wasnt impressed. That was almost a clincher right there.

[K/H_Addict]

you sure about the best buy thing? i bought my copy from there the day it came out (tuesday, still this week) and 39.99 and wasn't told anything about a gift card...

[Unknownknowned]

i like the 80s version, brings me back to a simpler, cheesier time.
and 100% because its midnight is far from possible

id like to see some symphony x as like a store song in GHIII

:2cents:

[moorific]

I've played since September '06 and I currently play expert, still haven't gotten the log in GH2 but did beat every song, same with 80s.

Have any of you guys ever been to scorehero.com? It's a guitar hero forum where you can input your scores and compare them to other users, its really cool, my username there is bleakwoode.

BTW There are people on scorehero that can hit every part of Jordan, still no 100%'s yet just 97.

[K/H_Addict]

So anyway, im sure we all know that Dragonforce is in Guitar Hero 3.

well, i now have a video of the HARDEST song in Guitar Hero history:

Are you kidding me that is INSANE!!!!!!!!! :jawdrop: :jawdrop: :jawdrop:

[moorific]

They say it's harder than Jordan to beat, which I still think I can beat it, but I can not imagine 5-starring it. And they said that in Co-op, unlike Jordan, the person on Bass/Rythym (sp?) can actually help pass the song.

[Scape_Scrub11]

I cant beat Jordan it's just too much for me.

[K/H_Addict]

i beat jordan on Hard with one finger the other day. does that count?

[dragonfire]

Wow, that is one of my favorite songs.

[Mindfreak]

Guitar Hero changed my life. I really want 2 ( for Rock This Town, Cherry Pie, Carry on Wayward Son, You Really Got Me, Trogdor, and of course FREE BIRD!) 80's (for I wanna Rock, Round and Round, Ain't Nothing but a Good Time, and Beacause It's Midnite), and 3 when it comes out ( Rock and Roll all Nite, School's Out, and Welcome to the Jungle)>

[Scape_Scrub11]

Carry on my Wayward son is an awesome song.

You want them for all the right reasons. Except Freebird. that song is so overrated.

Instead of freebird, go with Thunderhorse.

because, it's midnite has a stupid hard solo in it, and it doesn't even rise up to it climactically. it just...happens. like walking into a wall, feeling like a moron, then playing it off like nothing happened. Here's one of my runs on expert (5 stars; 100% except for the stupid solo):

http://myyearbook.com/?mysession=dmlkZW9fd2F0Y2gmdmlkZW9pZD0yOTYwOQ==

sorry there's no sound; i don't know why the sound didn't upload with the video; i'll try and post it somewhere else with sound...

[Talin4]

If I were to pick a song to put into guitar hero... I think I'd go with One Winged Angel (aka, Sephiroth's theme). But with GH III having boss battles, that could be a bad thing O.O

[Scape_Scrub11]

On Rock the 80's one of my Favorite songs to play is Hold on Loosely, or Turning Japenese

[K/H_Addict]

Nice work K/H, that Beacuse it's Midnite solo is a tough without star power.

Does anyone still play Guitar Hero 1 I like the songs but the hammer-ons are so hard to do!

[K/H_Addict]

i'd play GH1 if the hammer-ons and pull-off's were effective. i can't handle it after getting used to GH2 and such...

[Mindfreak]

ehh, thats all a matter of opinion. Personally, as far as setlist goes, 80s is my favorite. I only like GH1 because without it, we wouldn't have GH2 or the upcoming GH3.

Iron Man, Godzilla and More than a feeling were fun, but Ziggy Stardust annoys the crap outta me, Smoke on the Water and I Love Rock and Roll are both too easy, they butchered Killer Queen (come on, only Freddy Mercury could handle those notes), and I wanna be Sedated got old as soon as i saw my friend play it with his back facing the TV.

[Jack o' Blades]

...and I wanna be Sedated got old as soon as i saw my friend play it with his back facing the TV.

I can do that with Cowboys from Hell 8)

On expert?!!!!!?

[Jack o' Blades]

No...haha


BUT, I don't own that one, so it still counts for something :D

[K/H_Addict]

cowboys from hell is one of the only songs i haven't been able to beat before in any GH game. Once they get it into GH2 on 360, i'll probably 5-star it on my second try like i did Bark at the Moon and Frankenstein.

yeah, i've seen it. i wonder how long it would last. Like, if i could survive his power ups and not use mine, would it just go on and on and on and on?

[Scape_Scrub11]

I think it goes until someone fails...so it could go a while...

[K/H_Addict]

Ya know what? Screw Slash.




Go Zakk Wylde.

[Scape_Scrub11]

Do you boss battle him?

[K/H_Addict]

Not that i know of. We should though. And Jimi.





so is anyone as unenthusiastic about their 3 foreign songs as me? :?

[dragonfire]

No, they are supposed to be good. And its 4, not 3.

[moorific]

Well there are gonna 3 boss battles, and one of them is fictional, so I'm thinking Buckethead, (if you count him as fictional) the guy from Dethklok, or Strongbad for the fictional, otherwise I think they'll do Zakk Wylde.

What about you guys?

Definetly StrongBad.

O yeah, another good one would be Satan from Tenacious D: The Pick Destiny, that guy shreds!

[Barbell Hero]

Does anyone who plays guitar hero actually play the guitar? I'm a bassist, and I have friends that don't even play musical instruments that regularly beat me silly at this game, because of the amount of time they spend on it. Do you folks realize that if you played a REAL guitar as much as you played guitar hero, you'd be a good guitar player??

:lol:

A friend of mine has played guitar for 7 years. He's played guitar hero for 2 months and can already hit 77% on jordan/expert.


I play guitar (learning to).


And bassists suck. Everyone knows that. Bass is for people who can't handle 6 strings.

[moorific]

Does anyone who plays guitar hero actually play the guitar? I'm a bassist, and I have friends that don't even play musical instruments that regularly beat me silly at this game, because of the amount of time they spend on it. Do you folks realize that if you played a REAL guitar as much as you played guitar hero, you'd be a good guitar player??

I really hope that was a joke, since it sounds extremely rude and, quite frankly, utterly ignorant.

I personally own a 6-string bass, and they come in 5, 7, 8, 9, and even more ridiculous numbers of strings. Here's a pic of a 12-string bass I found on google just now:

It was no more or less rude and ignorant than you coming in here and bashing everyone else who plays this game, thinking you're so much cooler because you picked up a guitar long before Guitar Hero was even thought of.

[Barbell Hero]

Sorry, I didn't "bash" anyone. Read my post again, then read yours. That was you throwing personal insults at me, in case you forgot. How dare I question your video game! I don't see anyone else taking offense to your imagined slight of mine. Nor do I recall reading in my post that I thought I was "cooler" than anyone else. Do you see that written there? Who cares who picked up a guitar first? That's not even the point. Even if I started playing yesterday, I'd still be making more progress than if I was playing guitar hero.

I think it's a pretty valid point that if people, any people, my friends included, played a real guitar 3 hours a day instead of guitar hero 3 hours a day, they would be real guitar players. If you consider that a "bash" then you have some seriously messed up priorities (IE that video games are more important than real life, and that anyone who thinks so is a jerk).

When I tell my overweight friend that if he spent as much time lifting weights and exercising as he does playing World of Warcraft that he'd be super buff and in the best shape of his life, I'm not "bashing" him, I'm telling him THE TRUTH.

I also notice that you completely ignored my post about basses that have more strings than your guitar. Well played.

Stop causing trouble. :roll:

No. I didn't see it written. I inferred it. Just like i do when ANYONE compares real guitar to guitar hero. They're no where close to the same thing, yet people (guitarists in general; there are a few that don't apply, and you have yet to work your way onto that list) tend to say that because they can play a REAL guitar, that they are cooler. Again, that's not everyone, and not everyone actually says it. Again, i inferred

1. to derive by reasoning; conclude or judge from premises or evidence: [i]They inferred his displeasure from his cool tone of voice.[i]



Oh, and simply because i didn't acknowledge your post, doesn't mean I ignored it. See? You inferred that i ignored it by my lack of responding. I read it. Twice even. I knew they made basses with ridiculous numbers of strings. A good friend of mine plays bass. They also make guitars with ridiculous numbers of strings, but generally, when one thinks of bass guitar, they think 4 strings, and when one thinks electric or acoustic guitar, they think 6 strings. Now, knowing that, which is more challenging, 4 string or 6 string? Obviously 6 string, because of the 2 additional strings and the number of new possible finger configurations.


This is a thread devoted to discussing Guitar Hero, not real guitars. Now that i have hit on everything you have posted, can you please get on subject?

[Barbell Hero]

Sure, as soon as you acknowledge your incorrect inferral. I'm not going to sit here and be your patsy just because you like to think everyone is out to get you, or is secretly thinking they are "cooler" than you. If 25 people that play guitar have openly said "guitar hero sucks, I'm super cool because I play real guitar" and a 26th person comes along and says something like "hey guys, you know if you play guitar as much as you play the game, you'll be able to play a real guitar?" and you assume they are instead thinking "ha ha I'm so COOL" you are forming a prejudice and should examine, evaluate, and eliminate it.

By not addressing my direct refutal of your original argument in an online environment, you were clearly ignoring what I said. I can listen to someone talk all day and ignore them the entire time. Just because I hear and understand them doesn't mean I care or even want to hear it. I am ignoring them. You read my post (twice even), but you simply didn't care. You had to wait until you could twist the "inferral" argument (based on your incomplete and incorrect reasoning, as I have stated several times that I do not think I am "cooler" than you) and try to turn the situation to your advantage.

See my occupation, dude, I'm a teacher, I don't get off on pushing kids around, my profession dictates that I do the opposite. Don't be so bossy and pushy over a video game, people are going to insult you a lot more than you think I did as you go through life, and you can't resort to a snarky attitude every time it happens.

And as far as being on topic, Guitar Hero is a video game about playing guitar...I think talking about guitar is a pretty valid option, don't you think? I don't think the forums about Battlefield 1942 get all hissy when they start discussing real battle tactics and real firearm skill, or real military experience...

On a side note, why are you so upset that someone would think they were "cooler" than you? Are you that "uncool"? Or are you like, the #1 cooelst kid at your school and you couldn't possibly stand being dethroned? I do not understand.

As i see it, inferrals are like opinions. They simply cannot be wrong, no matter how hard you try to prove other wise. This situation is like data. 25-1 is nothing but a percent, and when you look at it like that, those 25 people overpower that 1. Now, if 25 MORE people said the same as you, then it'd be different. Im not forming a prejudice, i'm analyzing and collecting data, and with data, majority rules. Sorry bub, you're not in the majority yet.

No, by not addressing your refutal of my original argument, i simply implied that you won that portion of the dabate, and didn't feel it was necessary to simply post something along the lines of "touché," because at that time, i didn't have anything worth saying about that particular post. I only ignore posts that do not use even remotely correct grammar.

See my occupation, dude, I'm a teacher, I don't get off on pushing kids around, my profession dictates that I do the opposite. Don't be so bossy and pushy over a video game, people are going to insult you a lot more than you think I did as you go through life, and you can't resort to a snarky attitude every time it happens.

See, my occupation is an auto mechanic. When people pick on me for defending my opinions, all i have to do is wait for them to need their oil changed or their tires replaced.

I don't think the forums about Battlefield 1942 get all hissy when they start discussing real battle tactics and real firearm skill, or real military experience...

About the topic: It's Guitar Hero. Not Guitar. I've never played Battlefield of any sort, but im sure, if they were smart they'd lay their forums out like heroscapers, and have sections meant for real battle discussions. If you want to talk about guitar, there was a thread started the other day. Go there and talk about your guitar; there someone will value your input and maybe even use it; Here, i'll simply ignore it because it is not on the given topic. IDK about anyone else, but hey, "one person can change the world," right?

On a side note, why are you so upset that someone would think they were "cooler" than you? Are you that "uncool"? Or are you like, the #1 cooelst kid at your school and you couldn't possibly stand being dethroned? I do not understand.

I'm not upset about that. Egomaniacs just irk me (no, this is not implying that you are in any way shape or form and egomaniac).

Oh, and I'm not in school. I graduated.

To make a custom song, you have to have a special program on your computer and a modded PS2. There's a video on youtube about it:

That's a really terrible attitude, and it actually is a kind of prejudice. Because you've talked to a bunch of jerks (who think they are cooler than you) that happen to play guitar, I get to be one until a lot more not-jerks prove themselves to you?

Let me make sure I have this right. Using your logic, if someone of a particular race robs me twice, I have to literally wait until 3 people of that same race do something nice for me before I stop thinking all of them are robbers? That might be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

Here, i'll simply ignore it because it is not on the given topic. IDK about anyone else, but hey, "one person can change the world," right?

Wrong. Only a 51%+ majority can do that. :roll:

Oh, and i never said ALL people are like that, just because X amount are ****. If you go to a country you've never been to, and the first 100 people you encounter kick you in the nuts, you're going to have a ****ty opinion of everyone there until enough people prove otherwise to you.

Back on topic, I heard that not only do the new guitars frets feel better, but the strum bar is phenomenal.(sp?)

[K/H_Addict]

Back on topic, I heard that not only do the new guitars frets feel better, but the strum bar is phenomenal.(sp?)

Yeah, i read somewhere that they redid the entire guitar; The frets are smaller and a bit closer to allow for easier sliding, and the strum bar has been modified to be quieter (we all know how annoying that clicking can be to those watching!).

I'm not sure if this is on GH3 or not, but i know on rock band, the guitars will have 10 frets; 5 at the top as normal, and 5 more at the bottom of the neck, meant for special solo sections. It'll be interesting to see how that works

[moorific]

Yea the guitars for Rock Band look amazing with the solo buttons.

[snowballmaster9]

i heard that on gh3 the gutar is more sensitive when u lift it for star power.

[Scape_Scrub11]

I just preordered at Best Buy :lol:

[K/H_Addict]

i heard that on gh3 the gutar is more sensitive when u lift it for star power.


Odds are, i won't notice. Depending on where the buttons are located, i'll most likely use Select for star power (unless that function was removed with the new owners), just like i've done since i bought my wireless Hammer from Target.
like a sugar coated middle finger. I like it.

I just preordered at Best Buy :lol:

I'll probably be preordering at GameStop, but most likely not until after i preorder Brawl.

[Dennys]

The new guitar does not require as much tilt to activate star power, however the select button is slightly moved and more prominent for thumbing it to activate star power that way.

I never used my thumb with it.

http://uk.gizmodo.com/0dbe684303bbcaff641ea56a82e1e654.jpg

For me, my palm rests just on top of the select button when i lay my thumb on the strum bar, that way all i have to do is tilt my hand like 1/4 inch.

[moorific]

Wow that guitar looks really nice KH, but it still seems sthat you would have to some pretty big hands to only have tto move your hands a 1/4 inch.

[K/H_Addict]

actually, that guitar is probably close to 2 inches shorter than the red one the game comes with. When i can get some batteries for my camera later today i'll take some pictures of how i hold it for a better illustration.

[moorific]

Now that you mention it, the start/select buttons actually look a bit higher than usual. Where you get it anyway?

[Drumline3469]

I JACKED up my hammer from Target. I just shredded too hardcore for it to handle and it broke. The whammy bar doesn't work and neither do the buttons. My friend who works at Target said he ruined his strum bar from playing too much.

[moorific]

How much does your friend play? I have three SG's (two black one red) and I play A LOT, but my strum bars all still work really well, and if your whammy bar breaks, you can tie a rubber band around the base of it and the white thing on the bottom that holds the strap in and it'll work better.

[Dartheyegouger]

I heard that the Wii's version of the guitar has a detachable neck, and that there will be other attachments such as a double-neck.

I'm converting to Rock Band. I mean the first Guitar Hero was amazing, and though gameplay and multiplayer improves I find the tracklist to be disappointing, even with Dragonforce set to be on GHIII.

Of course I'm gonna wait to check out Rock Band's track list too (fingers crossed for some Tool).

[Scape_Scrub11]

This is the best tracklist yet in my opinion!!!

if that's the case, then thats a hell of a deal. My copy for the wii with one guitar was $94.49, and i'm sure individual guitars will cost a minimum of 30 each. I believe if you get it on PS2 or Xbox360, you can use the GH2 guitars with it though...

As far as GH3 goes, there is one song that I am certain will make it in.

"We don't really even care about you" by Sloshy (from www.homestarrunner.com). Hey, Trogdor and Because its midnite have made it. This probably will too.

[K/H_Addict]

for those of you who want to, the song (not the note chart) for the final GH3 song is on Youtube. I must say is definitely going to be one hell of a song, and very deserving of the final song of the game

Working tomorrow, I'll get mine at lunch... but its for Xmas for my son so, eh...

[Eclipse]

Got mine. Not a huge fan of the new GUI. The Star power bar in particular isn't very easy to read at a glance. Seems harder than 2 overall, but there's some awesome songs. Lots of Master tracks so less "that sounds weird" moments. Boss battles are kinda meh to me, but the game is fun. The 360 Le Paul guitar is simply a must have. Smooth, comfortable, and wireless.

[dragonfire]

I got it. How do you buy through fire and flames. I cant find it at the shop. Also was it supposed to come with an extra faceplate? Because mine didnt. And how much do the extra ones cost? Should I put the stickers on my white one or wait for the costume ones? Do they come with stickers?

[ChilliDog]

My friend and I decided to head over to Wally World last night at like 11:30, he works there so he got a discount. They wouldn't let us buy two copies, though, there was an INSANE amount of people there, I really didn't expect that. I'll probably go get myself a copy later tonight if possible, was over at his house playing all morning from like 12-3, then I went home and slept and headed back over at like 9am. We managed to beat GH1, GH2, GH 80's and a little more than half of GH3 while I was there. I'm off of work until Thursday, so I plan on pwning GH3 once I get it.

[Havokscry]

From what I've read, it sounds like the new guitar is better in GH3, but overall the game isn't as good as GH2 (at least on the 360).

[K/H_Addict]

GH3 is definitely a lot harder than GH2. I am One song away from facing Lou right now. ONE by Metallica.

I'll probably go get myself a copy later tonight if possible, was over at his house playing all morning from like 12-3, then I went home and slept and headed back over at like 9am. We managed to beat GH1, GH2, GH 80's and a little more than half of GH3 while I was there. I'm off of work until Thursday, so I plan on pwning GH3 once I get it.

Do you live in the same house? Because they cant tell you that you both cant get it. Its one per house, not one per group of friends.

[K/H_Addict]

So, i'm playing through on Hard right? Doing fine, don't fail a song until the final battle. I'm going at it on Hard mode and for some reason, i decide to quit out. I Then restarted from the song select menu, and now i'm playing the song on hard mode while my opponent gets to play easy mode.


O.o




wtf?

[moorific]

I got it. How do you buy through fire and flames. I cant find it at the shop.

You need to beat the game first, and my brother is a god at the game, took him about seven or eight tries to beat Lou and now he still has yet to pass TtFatF's intro.

[K/H_Addict]

hyperspeed 5?


what have i missed?

[moorific]

No me and my bro are just on H2, but yeah we both play expert.

[K/H_Addict]

Drumline3469 and I have defeated TFaF together (hard mode). We're not all that great at it yet, but the games only been out for a day. We beat it on our second try, and i took a picture of the completion screen that i'll post right after i find my darn USB cable


~k/h, not knowing why his SD card wasn't in the camera...:frustrated:

[Dartheyegouger]

My band name is RAYCHAOS, but where do I find my Friend Code?

Also, do you need two guitars for co-op (on Wii) or can you do it online?

To get your friend code, do this:

main menu ----> nintendo WFC ----> show friend roster


your code is in the top left corner of the screen


I'm not sure if you need 2 guitars, but i'm fairly certain you can't do it online. idk if you can use the guitar you get with the game and a regular wii remote, like you can on PS2 and the likes.



BTW, i JUST beat tfaf for the 5th time (hard, not expert). This time i was using hyperspeed 5.

I finally beat Lou, wasn't too though. Here's a tip to those playin on expert: About 2/3's through the song Lou has a string of very fast green notes, if you have a whammy or a broken string power-up he will lose before the power-up ends.

Thanks for the tip, moorific. I'll definitely keep that in mind once i beat One and Raining blood (last 2 songs on expert left :frustrated:)

[dragonfire]

Easy fight against Lou on expert
This glitch makes you play against Lou with the expert notes but he will have easy notes (and have the AI of the "easy" Lou).

1) Unlock the battle with Lou on expert (carrer mode only).
2) Start the battle with him
3) Shortly after the first note sections (about 10 seconds), Strum without holding any fret buttons untill you lose
4) At the game over screen go to "Tutorial"
5) Pick the Tutorial for Guitar Battle, And play through it untill you get the message "Lesson Complete"
6) As soon as the fret board appears. Pause the game and go to exit, (this will take you back to the lesson menu)
7) From there hit the red button so that you can go back to the list of songs
8) Pick the fight with Lou and enjoy an easy VICTORY!



How the lazy man wins.

[K/H_Addict]

nah i tried that. not exactly like that though.

I failed because i sucked (this was hard, not expert BTW) and went to tutorial, thinking it was practice (idk why; it clearly siad tutorial) and went to the guitar battle one. Then i lost interest after like 10 seconds and went to the main menu and tried it again. I had hard, he had easy. I still lost horribly. I had 3 power ups. Used em all on him. He never once left the green.

[Dartheyegouger]

I've found that in any battle if you use any two power-ups together, the enemy will always fail.

[moorific]

I've found that in any battle if you use any two power-ups together, the enemy will always fail.

Really? even if it's just like Amp Overload and Whammy?

[Dartheyegouger]

I'm not really sure what I used the first time, but the second time it was two broken strings (green and red).

[K/H_Addict]

I've found that in any battle if you use any two power-ups together, the enemy will always fail.

Nope. doesn't work. Tried it. If anything, you use one, let it deplete, then use another, and repeat as needed, and even then they won't always fail.

[dragonfire]

You know whats odd? I really like those bonus songs in the other languages. They sound cool.

[K/H_Addict]

Yeah, i broke 300k for the first time in any GH game on Avalancha. almost 600 note streak.

Generation Rock is pretty fun, and i haven't beaten Mauvais Garcon on expert yet. Way too many chords.

[johnny139]

Alright, though I dislike Rythm games, as I suck at them, and think that whatever it costs now is far too much for a video game, I have an inkling that my aunt MAY get me GHIII for my birthday. I saw a commercial, and among other things, it was rated T for Lyrics...

Now I need to ask - how far do the lyrics go? I mean, there's nothing you couldn't say on TV, right?

[dragonfire]

Actually, no curses. He starts to say ***** but goes like this.

I thought that the "T" rating was for suggestive themes. You know the "dancers" in cages at Shankers Lounge and the other ones that crowd Lou before you battle him.

[moorific]

I don't really understand how the lyrics are bad though, they just don't say all the swear words.

[K/H_Addict]

The case says "Lyrics, Mild Suggestive Themes."

[Avenger]

Have they released extra guitars yet?

[Dartheyegouger]

Can you turn cheats on and off?

[moorific]

To my knowledge, not individually yet. The Les Paul and Kramer guitars I think can still only be purchased with the game

Can you turn cheats on and off?

Yes.

[GeneralBeaner]

Okay, I just got GH:3 today, and I was wondering; when are the Wii update things coming out for this? (are there going to be any?)

Also, how would I unlock TtFatF? It's an awesome song, but I know that I will not ne able to get through 1%....lol... :?

[jcb231]

Wii doesn't really roll with the DLC, so you may be waiting a while.

[dragonfire]

They did say they are working on it. Maybe we may be surprised soon. Id even pay for an actual expansion disk.

[GeneralBeaner]

Lol....Honestly, I am usually an "easy" player, so naturally, as soon as I got it, I played Through the Fire and the Flames...I played the song on easy, and I passed first time (83%), but it still felt like hard mode. I don't know how you guys do it! My band's name is ROFLCOPTERS.

[johnny139]

My friend (^ that guy) brought it over - and it's fun. Really, really hard to understand at first (you need to click some thingy AND press the buttons!?! Why was I not informed!?!), but I eventually figured it out... I can get 80-90% on Easy... that's about it.

[moorific]

FFFLLLLLLAAAAAARGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just failed TtFaF, expert, at 90% :blowup:

[Drumline3469]

FFFLLLLLLAAAAAARGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's my record... I only did it once. It was like 0%, 0%, 0%, 1%, 1%, 0%, 90%, 0%, 1% etc... That song is incredi-hard. I am getting a lot better at GH in general after this game. It makes 2 look like a joke. I mean after my 5* run of Knight of Cydonia I went back and SPANKED the crap out of Miser Lou to officially 5* every expert song on GH2.

[moorific]

What do you play GH2 on?

[Drumline3469]

I did play it on PS2, then on the gf's 360, but after we broke up she took it away from me, but now I have my own AND I'm back with her so I think I'm going to play it on my 360 just for the gamer points...

[moorific]

Oh yeah!!!!! I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 stars
263074 points

Except the problem is; now I don't thinik I'll ever do it again. :(

[jcb231]

I'm stuck on the Stone temple Pilots Song (can't remember the name) on Hard. For the life of me I cannot beat that song to move on. I don't know why. It doesn't seem especially hard compared to songs I've beaten, but I Can't even squeak out the three-star to pass. It's driving me nuts.

[Hahma]

I have only played GH 1 and 2 a total of a half hour with my brother in-law and nephew. I enjoyed it and asked my wife for GH3 for Christmas this year. She told me to go ahead and buy it (we are weird about exchanging our Christmas gifts for one another early, or even buying our own gifts ourselves ).

So I picked up GH3 yesterday for my PS2 and am working my way slowwwwwwwwly on Easy level. I'll bump it up soon enough though. It's really a blast and I enjoy the wireless guitar and like all the songs so far.

If you've played for awhile you really should start medium soon. I didn't even realize it but I stayed on easy mode for about the first two weeks I played when I could've been playing medium. Now because I played easy for too long, I never got accustomed to using my pinky for the fourth fret on medium, and now I play expert, with three fingers.

Thanks moorific, but I did start medium after a couple days on easy. I've gotten all the way through but haven't beaten Lou yet. I haven't really tried too much to beat him because I've been having fun going back and playing the other songs and trying to do better than before. I've got the pinky working, actually, that's why I went to medium because I didn't want to get into bad habbits on easy.

Anyway, I really love the game and look forward to borrowing the older versions from my brother in-law to try them out.

And I love the wireless guitar, no worries with wires getting all tangled while I shred on my ax :D

[moorific]

So you use the Kramer then?

[Hahma]

So you use the Kramer then?

Yes. I didn't have any of the other Guitar Hero games or guitars, so I bought the newest one and it had the Kramer. I really like the looks of it.

[moorific]

Yeah, I don't have the Kramer, it does look cool, but I hear it has a few glitches.

[Velenne]

I bought GH3 last week. I've beaten medium and got to the battle with Tom Morello on Hard and just quit. Then I made the mistake of going online and watching some college kid beat "Through the Fire and Flames" on Expert ... with 100%.

I just don't want to get that good. It's fun for me to pick up and play some new songs, but it's hardly worth the $75 I spent unless I spend another $50 for a second guitar when GH4 comes out or whatever. I think I may be returning this one...

[moorific]

Then I made the mistake of going online and watching some college kid beat "Through the Fire and Flames" on Expert ... with 100%.


That's fake, as of right now it's impossible to full combo (get 100% with no overstrums).

[Drumline3469]

EPIC WIN!!!!! I was playing online teaching people why you don't play on Xbox live Pro Face-off on medium 3 songs. (I kept picking TtFaF and DESTROYING them) when I came across a 3 song PFO on Expert. I took him up on it. He picked My Name is Jonas, I took Cult of Personality (Those are my 2 best songs other than City on Flames with Rock N Roll). 100% on MNiJ and then I destroyed CoP. So I won, but then and achievement award pops up 'Meet your Maker' I check it out and the description reads "Beat a creator of Guitar Hero 3 and their own game"... I was like O_O!


On a separate note, here's my progression from Easy to Expert in 3 or so months. I thought this plan may help some of the newer players out.

I started in late March playing GH2 on Easy. I played through Easy in one night. I then jumped right into Medium. I butchered my way through it and then tried Hard. Needless to say Hard destroyed me. I went back and just kept playing Medium trying to 5* things. I also did a lot of co-op. Eventually you just have to force yourself to beat songs on hard. Play them 3 or 4 times until you get it no matter how frustrating it can be for some songs. After that you CAN play expert, but the last few sets will be very difficult so it is a good idea to 5* most of Hard before moving and and then before you know it you're 5*ing Knights of Cydonia on expert.

[jcb231]

I've five-starred Easy and Medium in GH2, but that one song on Hard is still destroying me and I can't even get three frickin' stars to pass on it. I hate the Stone Temple Pilots so much now....grrr....


Anyway, do any GH3 owners have the bonus CD soundtrack that is available in stores? It has several songs from the game, but more interestingly, it has codes to unlock free bonus downloadable songs. Nowhere can I find out what those songs are though.....anybody know? I might buy the CD if the songs are any good, as I'm pretty certain I'm getting GH3 for Christmas.

[Sci-fi Messiah]

Linkin Park's "No More Sorrow" is going to be in the next downloadable pack for GH3. I just thought I would throw that in for those of you that have it.

[K/H_Addict]

...before you know it you're 5*ing Knights of Cydonia on expert.


i call shenanigans!


took me FOREVER to 5-star that damned song! Finally got it one day when i was real pissed at the world for some strange reason which escapes me now...probably something to do with women or work, or the combination of both. Now, i have 3 songs on expert to 5-star and to beat lou. bastard.

Raining Blood: 3 stars, 141K
Number of the beast: 4 stars, 367K
One: 4 stars, 320K

Thanks to Drumline, i now have only 2 songs to 5 star on expert, not including bonus songs. Raining Blood and One. One i almost had but the damn star power decided to activate itself before i needed it and so i failed in the solo.

[jcb231]

YES!!!! I finally beat that darn STP song from GH2! Haha! I felt so good about it I immediately took a break. I'm not even going to try and go back and five-star that sucker....three stars is good enough to move on. Hard difficulty was serving me very well up until I hit that nightmare of a roadblock. I'm not even sure why I had so much trouble with it.

Anyway, where did you hear this news about the next GH3 downloadable?


I'm still waiting for the rest of the GH1 tracks to be released on 360...or for the Rocks the 80's pack to hit the 360 Marketplace. Seems like an easy way to make a killing.

[jcb231]

I recently got Marketplace points as a gift and bought all four of the song packs that contain songs from Guitar Hero 1, along with the foreign track from Spain. Some great stuff in there. The only part that sucks is that, as with bonus songs and easy mode, you can't earn any money playing downloadable tracks. Still, Smoke on the Water and Frakenstein and Sin Documentos and Killer Queen are all really fun to play. The Spanish song is a real departure from the typical hard-rock sound of most Guitar Hero tracks...after playing it I would love to see a whole donwload set of flamenco and Spanish guitar songs.

I expect that I will buy the remaining song packs eventually (two indie packs, two more foregin songs, and a My Chemical Romance pack). I have my fingers crossed that additional relatives will buy me 360 points as gifts.

Advice to Guitar Hero newbies or those that aren't great at the game....by all the SONGS from the in-game store first, as the virtual money will eventually become harder and harder to earn, and the game is all about having a great variety of songs after all....songs are certianly the store item with the most play value. Once you five star a career mode song you can't earn any more cash on it unless you play at a higher difficulty level. Eventually you will likely reach your max-out point where unless you want to practice for hours a day you just aren't going to get any better. I'm approaching that point. I think four starring Hard songs, with the occassional five-star Hard fluke or three star regression thrown in, is about as good as I'm going to get. I can barely hang in on Expert, only managing to squeek out a few three stars.

I recently got Marketplace points as a gift and bought all four of the song packs that contain songs from Guitar Hero 1, along with the foreign track from Spain. Some great stuff in there. The only part that sucks is that, as with bonus songs and easy mode, you can't earn any money playing downloadable tracks. Still, Smoke on the Water and Frakenstein and Sin Documentos and Killer Queen are all really fun to play.

You've hit the notorious wall. Nothing will happen to make you better until one day. When all of the sudden the notes are no longer notes, merely just patterns. It is on this day that TRUE guitar heroes are born...

You can 5* all those songs but that and you still haven't beaten Jordan? What's holding you back? Have you taken it to practice?

I think of the songs as patterns already, but what trips me up is I also think of them rythmically....that really screws me over on expert where sometimes notes are throw in where it doesn't musically feel like there should be notes.

Just play them several times until you can feel every note... After a few runs through you can start to feel some of the harder songs on Expert. Last Child is a great one to really FEEL the notes... That's the first one I learned to do it on.

And, IMO, Pride and Joy is one of the songs with an odd rhythym that is a good one to try.

SRV is amazing, but the cover just doesn't get his essence. The tonation of his guitar and the riggidness of his voice are un-replicable. The cover just isn't good.

Have you played it yet? I really don't like the guitar, the hammer-on notes are too hard to distinguish. The drums are really cool though!
