See, I told you.

Also, totally did not know about this, and am freaking out in anticipation. Think I might be able to take it on expert. MAYBE.

It's underrated, imo. People shit on it and say it's a horrible game, just because it's not as good as RB2.

As if that means it can't be fun.

Freakin internet.

I lost the mic attachments for the instruments, or else I'd do it. Kind of a pain in the ass to play with someone in this when someone doesn't have a mic.

Is Funky taking the piss when he says this game is harder? Because I breezed through Hard and those charts are actually easier.

Did they water down hard or something?

Decent game. Love the customisation. If they threw that and the vocal style (That is, the no-tambourine, clap to star power, freestyle sections) into Rock Band, I'd cum buckets. Not too big on the open bass note. Can't really see it adding anything. BOOO-URNS on several tracks being pack-only deals. Got me a few songs, but I'm not going to spend a lot on GHWT when RB2 is the overall better game.

Not a big fan of the guitar. I went back to the strat after about a day. Still, considering it was 50 bucks for the guitar AND the game, I'll keep it and probably use it as a spare for when my ex plays bass. She hates the strat and loved the Les Paul.

Plus, it works with GHs 2 and 3 and I haven't had a working Les Paul in months.

Thing I hate about the les paul is that there is one extra space at the top of the neck with no button on it. Throws me off sometimes. And the flat buttons on the strat areso much better for doing the cascading and zigzag notes.

I like the LP buttons because it's easy to slide my singers up and down them, whereas with the Strat, sometimes my fingers get caught. But the action's too stiff on them, and I don't like the strum bar on either GH guitar. Plus, I got used to the spacing on the solo frets, due to my fucked up shoulder.

I love the placement of the back button on the new guitar, though. Being able to activate Star Power by hitting the " bridge" with the blade of my palm a la palm muting is brilliant.

Also, RB2 is by far my favorite of the two, but Fat Bottomed Girls+Life in the Fast Lane and Hotel California+Old Time Rock and Roll almost make the game worth it by itself. I know only one of those is a disc song, but I can't remember the whole tracklist off the top of my head and don't want to make a comprehensive list anyway.

I really wish there wasn't so much redundancy, though. I seriously doubt that's the fault of either company, to be fair.

It was easier for me as well. I'm by no means a "great" guitar (bass) player, and I was able to beat the career on expert. GH is much more forgiving with note detection. I noticed that after playing GH for awhile, then switching straight to RB, I'll miss a lot of notes I would usually hit, due to RB's stricter detection.

I loved how I was able to change the note and flame colors. Too bad RB doesn't have that stuff.

I've only done Hard career so far, and currently only have Satch Boogie. I failed it last night, the first one I've failed or even got into red on sightreading. Satch Boogie may be the hardest song I've played in a while, but I'm not sure even that would make GH harder. And yeah, I noticed the more forgiving timing windows when I popped in GH:A and played it. Especially with the hammer ons.

Speaking of, the guy I spend the most time playing GH/RB with had a heart attack when he looked over at the strek of hammer-ons I was playing yesterday. It was on the times Square set, but I don't remeber which song. He's still relatively new to this type of game, so it's still mind blowing.

Meanwhile, I screamed because I missed two notes in the run, and therefore, I sucked.

A friend of mine had a good point. I know you can't make a setlist in online co-op. Can you play DLC online with friends at all?

That's what I mean about moving up to the next level, seeming impossible. When I first got the game, I said to myself, "alright I'll try and beat everything on medium, and then I'll just play on easy for the rest of my life.

Now I can beat almost every song in every game on expert.

Yeah, I still remember how exasperating Hard was on GH1. Now I can do all but the final tiers on expert for sure. Usually work up from Hard, but I went from "no way" trying to step up to hard to "no problem."

My biggest problem, really, is keeping streaks. Which always used to fuck me in the HO/PO sections, because you miss one note and you have to strum again, and whatnot. These days, I can at least recover fast enough to not fail when I screw the pooch.

I can keep a streak until I notice I have one. Then I lose my focus because I get to worried about keeping it, and end up losing it. No matter how hard I try to just calm down and play. So I don't even care about them anymore, as they are an exercise in frustration.

Also, I can't play hard anymore. I've gotten too good at expert. To the point where I don't need starpower for anything but the most difficult solos. And for me, when I got to that point, I started noticing the speed difference, as well as the skipped notes alot more.

Of all the progress I have made over the last couple of years, I still can't beat Lou in GH 3 on hard.

Apparently Lou is harder in Hard than in Expert because of the note layout. There are more notes in Expert, so when you lay on the attacks, he fucks up way faster and fails out in a hurry. In Hard, less notes = faster recovery.

LOL yeah, I'm with you on the missed notes at least. One thing that GH/RB has done for me is increased my capacity for critical listening to a song. I'm a terrible sight reader, so I play music based on what I hear. And so I started noticing a lot of discrepancies....

On May 7th, virtual rockstars will take the stage with three free tracks in the Ferret/Metal Blade Track Pack. Fans can download The Devil Wears Prada’s “Dez Moines” two days after the launch of their newest album, With Roots Above and Branches Below. Joining “Dez Moines” are “On Broken Glass,” off Chimaira’s April release, Infection and “Grave of Opportunity” from Unearth’s 2008 album, The March.

Coming to Guitar Hero World Tour on May 14th, the Pop Rock Track Pack features P!nk’s #1 hit single “So What,” which landed her a GRAMMY® nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Having reached the peak position in various charts globally and risen to the top-10 in countless others, OneRepublic’s “Stop and Stare” joins “Everything’s Magic,” the first single from Angels & Airwaves’ most recent album, I-Empire, to complete the Track Pack.

On May 21st, Guitar Hero World Tour’s global music library will continue to grow with three additional tracks from some of Europe’s greatest bands. The fifth European Track Pack sees Swedish Metal band In Flames make their return to Guitar Hero with “Disconnected” from their 2008 album, A Sense of Purpose. Alongside In Flames is French rock band Housse de Racket with “Oh Yeah!” and Cody ChesnuTT’s “Look Good in Leather,” popularized through various commercials in the UK and Germany.

The Pop Rock and fifth European Track Packs will be available on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft for 440 Microsoft Points and on the PlayStation®Store for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system for $5.49. All songs in the Track Packs will be released as downloadable singles for Xbox 360 for 160 Microsoft Points, PLAYSTATION 3 system for $1.99 and Wii™ for 200 Wii Points each. The Ferret/Metal Blade Track Pack will be available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox 360 and PlayStation Store and as downloadable singles for Wii at no cost.

Free songs are cool but other then In Flames the rest are a major MEH.

I was going to bitch about Chimaira being in the free shit, because I'd try the other two tracks. Then I remembered there's no random setlists in GH.

I may check out the French act on top of In Flames.

It's actually not that bad on expert, because all the tough parts are slider notes.

Thought it would murder me too, but I passed it first time, without ever coming close to failing.

I'm actually thinking of finding a World Tour guitar, for the slider parts. This one would be hella nice, if it wasn't for the PS3.

honestly, I find the slider buttons to be kind of a shitty gimmick. I never use it, since you can tap the buttons on top without even strumming.

Guitar Hero 5 News:

I really don't wanna be the one who makes yet another GH-related thread.
Credit, Kotaku:

Quote:
Guitar Hero 5 will let up to four players rock out on the same instrument at the same time. That's four guitarists or four microphones and yes, even four drummers.

The game will also let you mix and match willy nilly what instruments you want to play as a group, so you can set up the instruments you want, and only the instruments you want. The four-player drop-in, drop-out support is available in all modes of play, even career.

The game's new Rockfest mode lets four players play in a variety of head-to-head modes online or on the same console. As players go through the song the difficulty adjusts based on how you play. You drop down a level for every third missed note and jump up in difficulty for every 20 notes you land in a row. The player with the most points wins.

Of course, the driving force behind any Guitar Hero game is its soundtrack. This one will launch with a nice selection of songs including music from Tom Petty, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Vampire Weekend and Johnny Cash.

The game will let you jump right in without worrying about menus or unlocking songs and all previously available downloadable music will be playable on Guitar Hero 5.
The thing about four instruments of the same type is the stupidest shit I've heard coming out of game development. Maybe they're on to something but so far it sounds like a idiotic idea.

Yay for DLC being supported. Rockfest seems cute, might train up some casual players into Expert. Other than that it's pretty thin news. E3, I guess.

I didn't read anything about four way duels, and even so it would have to be Pro-Face Off. I like Face Off classic better, seems more like a battle. I just need to hear more.
