speedofsound Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Is this game worth buying? Reading the posts here it looks ike it has more depth than I thought. Basically it's a game for the lazy people who can't bother to learn to play a real instrument. Of course it is. Just so you are aware I play electric and acoustic guitar. I also play Guitar Hero where I play on expert. Guitar Hero is a game for people to play when they just wanna have fun regardless of whether or not they play a real instrument. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "(bleep) you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "(bleep) you."

DarkDude Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Anyone mentioned the story about that kid who dropped out of school to play GH3?I dont know about you but the few proffesional players have only earned about a $1000 in prize money over the past couple of years,it seem spretty stupid. He's getting home tutored and is doing it for more reasons than just to play GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaidinWoT Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 So I've left all of you out as far as my recent progress for long enough... I'm sure you're all just desperate to hear more :D First: I got all the DLC (except the two single songs besides EWWS, which I may or may not get in a while) including Virtuoso and Dragonforce packs! Virtuoso was a 5* sightread pack, while Dragonforce was 4* sightreads with 5*s following within a few runs... My scores on all (Virtuoso scores are all from sightreads, no replays yet!): [hide=Virtuoso] [/hide] [hide=Dragonforce] [/hide] I believe I might one day be able to get the 750k achievement off of OGaP, and I know I can do better on all of them... Now for the long list of reduxes! I've been pretty active in trying to improve my score, and I have a lot to show for it! [hide=Tier 1 - Entirely reduxed]I've finally learned to squeeze relatively well, and am now 10th on 360 and 16th across all platforms for the first tier on Scorehero! Talk Dirty To Me and Hit Me With Your Best Shot are both 8th on 360, while the others are slightly lower ranked. [/hide] [hide=Tier 2 - 2 Reduxes]Nothing major here... I squeezed 2 whole ticks out of Mississippi Queen, and finally whammied Sunshine Of Your Love [/hide] [hide=Tier 3 - 3 Reduxes]Some of these scores have been the same for months upon months now, and finally they move! I got the same score on Paint It Black with 2 consecutive FCs, so I don't think I'll get any more squeezes out of it for a while... [/hide] Other progress: [hide=Anarchy In The UK][/hide] [hide=Same Old Song And Dance]Finally FCed it! [/hide] [hide=La Grange]Finally used a reasonable path on it... need yet another redux to get squeezes in... [/hide] And I've crammed enough pics into this post already (and I'm too lazy to do more for DLC), so simple ranks: Messages - 5th Overall (Sightread FC) Carcinogen Crush - 12th Overall (Sightread FC) Tina - 29th Overall (Sightread FC - missed all possible squeezes >_<) Don't Speak - 8th Overall (Missed easy squeezes) The Arsonist - 19th Overall (More squeeze misses) Exo-Politics - 29th/30th (Sightread FC) Super Massive Black Hole - 7th Overall (Sightread above 100% squeeze!) Stockholm Syndrome 159th/165th (I need to FC, but I make stupid mistakes so often in this song...) And that's my major giant update of the week....

Jaziek Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 My friend and I got bored of the easy stuff that is GHII and III and we've decided to go old skool and tackle the hard [cabbage]. Bought a copy of GH1, and we're gonna suck horribly at it, but it'll be damn fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongo_man Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Took awhile, but I finally got the chord switches down :) Also, I finally broke 600k one One! [hide=One 600k+!!! + breakdown] [/hide] I don't usually mess up Solo C and D, but I did surprisingly well in Solo B so I can probably get another 5k-10k more if I can FC those sections. And got a -5 run on FCPREMIX...about -3 in Aggro Part and -2 in End Lead. Probably won't FC it anytime soon, but who knows :?: [hide=FCPREMIX -5][/hide] [If you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaidinWoT Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 GH1 hammer-ons and pull-offs are as close to identical to ones on real guitar as is possible on a game... In order to hammer-on, you must be holding a higher note when you hit the lower, and to pull-off, you must be holding the note that you're going to pull-off to before you take your fingers off the previous note. On top of all of that, the timing window is so small that attempting to use HOPOs is pretty worthless (until you get used to them... Cowboys From Hell has been FCed up to the Solo using all the HOPOs before, and that song is made of them... I personally am semi-consistent on them), and most deem it better to simply strum every single note in the game. Strumming and fretting at the same time can get pretty complex...

I'd say GHI's hammers and pulls are WAY harder than a real guitar's. well. I wont be playing for a while, I lent my GH3 to a friend so he can get a full set of scores up on scorehero, and thats the only one in the series I actually own.

DarkDude Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I won't be posting a score for the current song, can't play for the life of me at the moment. It appears sightreading the DF pack has killed my ability to play, haven't passed a single one of those songs since beating them on sightread :x I can't play Mauvis Garcon at all like this, can barely get into 4x multiplier. I'll be back with a vengeance for the next song however :twisted: As long as it's not something stupid anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nom Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Can someone help me with Cliffs of Dover? I can FC the song except for Solo B and that other part that's like Solo B. I can FC it on Slow, but mega-phail on full speed. HALP!? :lol: I hold firmly that I can FC it as well with a really good day and some more practice on transitioning to tapping. That is what you mean by solo B right, the intro part? If not, I apologize, but that part is really easy to tap. Left hand fingers on the first four buttons, right hand tapping the orange. Hit the others like the orange isn't there. The whole song is a freakin' choke-fest, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
