Two minor updates:

 

 

 

[hide=Rock and Roll all Nite (4th/5th)]RockAndRollAllNite.png

 

I was not trying for 1st on this (I wasn't using the right path for it if I was). I did this because it got me 1st for all systems for the tier (it's amazing what a good SomL score can do for you). I will probably try to improve this as well as work on the other songs to cement my lead.[/hide][hide=Black Sunshine (2nd/4th)]BlackSunshine-1.png

 

Not really interesting... I believe I could pull off another 200 points, which would get me 1st. I also can tick the 1st activation, which I failed to do this run (it's more luck than anything for that). This put me in 2nd/4th for the tier as well, so I'll probably be working on the songs in this tier as well.[/hide]

My PC currently has no internet, so I'm not uploading the pic yet, but I FCed Don't Hold Back on a random run of it (first try of the evening, I believe) for 3rd/6th - score of 335,834 (tied with iamchris4life). I barely missed an extra 200, so I may test my luck and try for another FC to get a better rank :D

 

 

 

Edit:

Only missing one squeeze. This score put me in 1st for the tier for Xbox 360, 3rd for all systems (behind APE and Undead :shock: )[/hide]

 

 

 

Also got a Prayer of the Refugee optimal squeeze run, but choked, so :(

Loaded in GH:Aero for the first time today and sightread 5*ed everything (including bonus songs) except Train Kept A Rollin. Easist game ever :/

 

 

 

TKAR Run 1: 210k :/

 

TKAR Run 2: 264K (SOOOOO CLOSE)

 

TKAR Run 3: 180k (what...the...hell?)

 

TKAR Run 4: 315k (dammit, only needed 10k more)

 

 

 

Well, at least I 5*ed it. I am sooo inconsistent at that song though....

Can someone help me? In the music store for GH:WT it shows that we've bought songs but those songs haven't been added to set list and haven't come up with the message in the PS3 menu either :cry: It also shows another track pack in the music store as we haven't bought it yet it has been added to my set list :? So is there anyway to show if we've downloaded them or if they're in some kind of download queue on the PS3?

 

 

 

I found out how to check my downloads but it still doesn't show up those songs :cry:

 

 

 

Also can someone help me with my drum kit it's having some sensitivity issues especially with the yellow cymbal. The first problem with it is that when I'm hitting another drum usually the orange cymbal it sets off the yellow drum, the other problem is when I'm trying to hit the cymbal it doesn't respond especially when I'm trying to hit the red and yellow drum together.

Just a depressing (yet positive) thing today... The Way It Ends -2

 

Clearly I am capable of FCing it, but -2 is painfully close for not having succeeded. The 1st miss was in the only section of the strumming that consistently gives me problems (the R->Y->RYB in measure 51 - I hit this about half of my runs), the 2nd in a completely random part in the solo.

 

FC hopefully soon...

Joe Perrry Guitar Battle? Seriously? That's the only one I haven't 5 starred yet.

 

 

 

I don't play it much because it absolutely sucks. Sounds awful.

 

 

 

I had 3 more outro chokes on 3s & 7s . . . I can hit that solo every time except when I'm trying to FC the song >_>

S&R JH -5 Run (-3 in Solo 1A, -2 in Outro due to stupidity) Video uploading to YouTube atm.

 

 

 

Pretty Handsome Awkward FC but for some reason the recording didn't save D: (I should have had this AGES ago but I choked in the outro >_<)

 

 

 

FC #40, (DLC #15). Hopefully I can reach 50 soon (I should have it now tbh)

I'm only 1.7k points from being (technically) the best player in my state. Of course, there are others who far outdo me in skill, but score-wise, I will reign supreme! I should've passed Vertiggo just now, but I cannot break 600k on One >_> I think to do so would require passing without using SP in FSA, which I should technically be able to do, but FSA just makes no sense to my fingers. If I try to anchor, I will instinctively do descending triplets, even though I consciously realize that they are ascending... I've watched myself play it, and somehow the middle note never gets hit (for instance, in the RYB triplets, the Y never gets hit). It's annoying, and it means my score on that will be kept low until I learn to tap FSA, which will probably be never.

 

 

 

In other news, I am semi-consistent at Aggro Part in FCPREMIX, the only thing that was keeping me from the FC. Now all I have to do is hit it in a real run. Somehow I play differently with SP activated, and that is an SP activation, so my consistency in practice mode is much higher than in real runs. This also goes for Mosh 1 in Raining Blood, where I have 3 FCs in practice (and many high percentages) while I screw up when in the middle of SP there. It's not even when I activate - that part is fine... it's a few seconds into the activation. Apparently my brain doesn't like handling shiny blue notes. This is why my Raining Blood score never improves - with what I can hit in practice mode, I should actually have around 340k at the moment.

 

 

 

So all things considered, I'm exceptionally close to FCing:

 

Cult of Personality (been close for months... I always mess up one part, and it's always a different part from the previous run)

 

FCPREMIX

 

Nothing for me Here (This song gives me undue trouble - I'm consistent at all of it, but will randomly not be able to hit certain parts after hitting identical parts earlier in the song)

 

The Way It Ends

 

 

 

and arguably Number of the Beast, where only Solo 1 gives me problems... I've FCed it many many times in the past, but I can never get it in a real run.

 

 

 

I hate being close to FCs and not having them :(

S&R JH "Choke" -

Watch in HD.

 

 

 

I usually hit that part of the solo but not today, overstrummed in it a lot but someone only missed 3 notes there lol. The last two notes I missed were definite chokes, god damn.

 

 

 

This is FCable, really FCable I just need to not fail.

Thanks to a -2(INSTUPIDSPOTSTHATAREN'TATALLDIFFICULT) run on TWIE, I am now the top ranked Florida player on Scorehero.

 

Score was 617,800

 

 

 

I can FC it, darnit >_>

 

 

 

Also FCed Aggro Part in a real run for the first time in a while... messed up elsewhere :(

Here's some GH:M gameplay footage from Gametrailers:

 

 

 

Unforgiven - http://www.gametrailers.com/player/46901.html

 

 

 

Dyer's Eve - http://www.gametrailers.com/player/46899.html

 

 

 

Judging from the drum chart on Dyer's Eve, I'm assuming the drummer is playing on Expert+, and he does a damn good job :shock:

 

 

 

It also looks like they gave vocals the proper attention it deserves, as it now tells you "Excellent", "Solid", and other things that determine how well you sang the phrase.

 

 

 

Man I can't wait for this game, although I have to stop spending my money on caf food if I wish to buy it :|

Saidin, for One, I suggest flipping your hand over the neck of the guitar and just flailing. I can get 2x's by doing that and easily pass in the Yellow without SP. You might have to miss like a note or two in the Darkness Riff (whatever it's called) to flip in time, idk.

 

 

 

I'm really close to a Cult and NotB FC too. I hit the NotB solo every time, but I always reverse choke or choke on the outro. For Cult, I just choke everywhere.

Am I the only one that doesn't have trouble with the one solo? :s

 

 

 

I can pass it without SP 80% of the time, have had a few 30+ note streaks in it here and there, most I've had in the section was 75%+ at some point I think.

 

 

 

Apparently for GH:M they've reversed the direction of them, so that should be interesting actually, should make it slightly easier.

DarkDude, I've had 70% in it and consistently get 63-67%, it's just that enough of those misses happen close together for it to fail me out. Best streak I know I've gotten was only enough for 2x multiplier, unless you're talking about the end of the solo... spamming frets randomly is somehow much harder than hitting somewhat slower phrases correctly >_>

 

 

 

But yeah, I should have significantly less problems with it in GH:M...

Wow, I failed all but the first songs on the demo. Partly because no hs, partly because im sucking really bad today, and partly because the songs are hard :twss:

 

 

 

 

 

Looks to be a buy for me :0

 

 

 

 

 

I HATE the new interface with a passion though. The rock meter looks like [cabbage].

the new rock meter looks like something a [developmentally delayed]ed 9 year old drew in ms paint.

 

That said, I like how they've implemented star count into the score interface on the other side.

This guy is posting a lot of charts because he got the game early:

I'm trying to have a clean sightread outside the demo, but couldn't help watching Battery guitar and Blood and Thunder drums. The Battery mini-solo and real solo are way overcharted IMO, and Blood and Thunder drums looks =P~
