Guitar Hero/Rock Band

[tenkei]

i'm in the same situation as boykun now. i dont know why i was bitching about the qotsa song so much, its pretty hard, but not as hard as the slipknot song. the solo for the seventh encore are endless so i cant get past it. i wont play any of these songs in quickplay for sure, except maybe stricken, i kinda liked that one actually.

I beat the game on hard finally. the last battle is a fucken bitch! you get to play dragonforce as the credits roll. my arm is ready to fall off from it

EDIT
tried through the fire and flames on expert, just on practice so i could play the whole thing. 2529/3722 notes, 67% lol. fucken insane. longest streak was 50

Why are these both in the same thread?  Two completely different games.  made by two different developers.  grr

Oh snap! During the credits? I think I'll increase my chances of arthritis by 100% just by playing it I'm simply amazed you can get through the intro on expert

I can understand why, but Guitar Hero was originally made by Harmonix before they moved on to Rock Band, and minus the microphone and drum peripherals, they're essentially the same game.

[Masabi]

Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band were developed by different people >_>
And Rock Band deserves its own thread, not to be mushed into a Guitar Hero one /pif
Oh well, I'm sure people will think differently when it's actually releasedin like 20 days

[mode107]

Wow, so I got GH3 today, and I'm such a noob. Before I got this, I hadn't really played GH. When I got the GH3 demo, I was ok, able to play at medium, and that was with a controller. So now this is my first time playing with a guitar, and , lemme just says its like learning how to walk again for me, lol. I've only been playing at easy. So can anyone time me how to activate a power rift on the guitar?

Edit: NVM, I got it

[tenkei]

I couldnt really make it through the intro, but i played it in practice so i wouldnt fail and could try to the whole sogn

also, GH and Rock Band are similar enough that they can share a thread... its not like its a GH/beatmania thread or anything...

anyway~~

I'm always talking about how their should be a Japanese version of GH with J-rock and all that good stuff. So, since I'm lame and bored, I spent the last 3 days making this set list that I think would be perfect for a Japanese GH. Listened to a lot of stuff really hard and closely

I really like the set list and I kinda wanna email it to activision even thuogh I know theyll prolly just delete it lemme know what you guys think~  (also i didn't put in any battles cus I dont actually like the battles in GH3. thuogh, if there had to be, Hotei, Daita, and Tak Matsumoto would have to be the bosses...)

^ Nice setlist Tenkei! Some good calls there like Asian Kung-Fu Generation and MAXIMUM THE HORMONE! You could always email it to Activision, who knows, there may be plans for a J-Rock downloadable pack somewhere down the line and they could always do with a couple of suggestions!  Me personally, I'd have to choose Selfish Love by Miyavi.

Glad you got it modesta! Hope you're enjoying it! Don't worry, even the best of us here started on easy. And although some of the other tracks on harder difficulties may seem daunting, you'll pick it up in no time

Just want to ask, has anyone got the new Les Paul controller and experienced any difficulties with it? Numerous GH forum members have raised complaints that others support, e.g. pressing down for a red and green chord also gets picked up by the game as if you're holding down yellow as well.

[tenkei]

shit, that miyavi song is pretty awesome. one song i wanted to put in originally as the last track was DAITA's Handroid, but its pretty fucking impossible

check it out:


I too have heard a lot of complaints about the new wireless guitars. makes me glad i didnt get one, i wanted one too...

[mode107]

 So can you not make custom soundtracks in the game? I planned to put a song like kanashimi twilight on there

I have the les paul controller, the wireless one(is there a linked one?). I haven't any trouble so far, I'm a bit worried though cuz I have read of other ppl's problems, don't want it to happen to me.

[boykun]

What about...

MIKAN MIKAN MIKAN!!

[StreakInTheSky]

Need some Loudness and Sex Machine Guns in there!

I'd switch Art of Life for something like Kurenai too.


BTW Asobi Seksu isn't technically a Japanese band. >_>



Doubt they'd even think about releasing a Japanese release, isn't much money in that, especially for an American company.


But they seriously needed to put a couple Japanese songs in there. Maybe we should flood their inbox with emails

[tenkei]

you could pretty much put any x japan song in that slot; kurenai, rusty nail, celebration, dahlia, x... i felt art of life was the most fitting, somehow.

[boykun]

Let's put in some SKUNK!

[mode107]

I just scored my highest streak at 582. So what's everybody highest?

[Asmodai]

Got my copy in on Wednesday. Naturally, I'm still at easy, but getting better. I got my first 5-star last night with Holiday in Cambodia. My streak was around 200~ish.

Funny how the older songs are the better I am at them.

[boykun]

tenkei and I almost got full combo on When You Were Young until the last 2 notes, lol.

The streak was around 600 something.

[Tuffty]

1 week left!! Was thinking of getting the 360 version, byt I don't want to shell out for a new controller that apparently doesn't work half the time. I'll get the PS2 version. Funny, the main criticism I hear from fans is that the graphics are poor, but luckily for me, I'm not a graphics whore. Besides, for a game like GH, who needs it?

[mode107]

tenkei and I almost got full combo on When You Were Young until the last 2 notes, lol.

lol, that's probably my fave song to play, and first song I play everytime I get on GH

[Asmodai]

Seriously. It's not like you notice anything but the fret board while playing anyway.

[mode107]

Yeah I've seen videos of the PS2 version, its fine, the only thing I don't like about it is when you finish the song, the "You Rock" line that pops up in the end looks a bit different to the 360 version, it annoys me a bit for some reason,
