It's overrated but it's still a great game. And I never really liked DDR but I love what I've played of Guitar Hero. I think the reasons for that are 1. I'm not that good at DDR, and, while I'm also not that good at Guitat Hero, I'm much less not good, and 2. I find the song selection in Guitar Hero to be infinitely better than that of DDR (and that might be one of the causes of the first thing I mentioned).

"I'm much less not good"

Grammar is not your strong suit, is it buddy?

It should be: I'm much better.

Are you kidding Kashogi? This is what makes english such a great language, the liberalities we can and often do take with it. It becomes a personal language, not a bookish one, and there's something just... folkishly poetic... about it all.

Besides, by saying "much less not good" the emphasis is on the "not good," leading to an overall more self-effacing statement than the vaguely optimistic "much better."

I found the same thing. I finally played the game a couple of months ago after my cousin kept pestering me to do so. "Hey, you can shred: you need to play this!" It wasn't bad, but having played guitar for so long, it seemed too counter-intuitive. Apparently, I did quite well, but it felt tedious having to constrain myself to the patterns they set forth, some of which seemed really out of place, and mismatched to the way you would really play those parts.

I am not knocking the game, as it isn't intended to be a guitar simulation. I just agree that it may be a little funky for an experienced player, which could greatly affect its "lastability."

Actually, my grammar is very good, when I want it to be. Both my parents are newspaper editors, so I'm either genetically inclined toward good grammar or I've been corrected by them so many times that it's been effectively beaten into me. I did it that way because it kept the same terms and I was having fun with it.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #55 on:** September 20, 2007, 02:50:25 PM »

Wait a second, when did NWR turn into gamefaqs, where people are now correcting grammar?

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #56 on:** September 20, 2007, 02:55:58 PM »

I spent 5 years in the GameFAQs boards (notice how I talk about it with the same tone as someone remembering their time in a POW camp) so I didn't bat an eyelash at the correction. It's good to be rid of that nonsense.

Good simpsons reference, an oldie but a goodie =)

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #60 on:** September 20, 2007, 04:06:04 PM »

I hold myself back most of the time here, in real life about one in every ten things I say is a reference to either The Simpsons or Futurama.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #61 on:** September 20, 2007, 04:10:19 PM »

I've got to admit the track list is extremely disappointing. There are a few good songs, but I'd have to say Guitar Hero 2 has a much better set. And what the Hell is Devil Down to Georgia doing on there? This is Guitar Hero, not Fiddle Hero. Also, the WORST part is One being on GH3, and Enter Sandman being on Rock Band - that should be the complete opposite. One is a much better bass, drum, and vocal (and guitar) song that Enter Sandman.

EasyCure · « **Reply #62 on:** September 20, 2007, 05:41:39 PM »

ever hear the Toy Dolls version of The Devil Went Down to Georgia? sick guitar in that

Edit- just looked at the list and i didn't see an artist next to the Devil Went Down to Georgia so maybe the version i mentioned is playable?

also i have a problem with every punk song they picked:
Social Distortion - Story of my life - they have so many better songs with better riffs, why pick one of their “slow” songs?

Sex Pistols - - they just suck, i'm sorry

Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia - I don't have a problem with the song itself but i know i'll have a problem with the awful way they'll censor it. After hearing the crappy version of Police Truck on GH2 i wanted to break my friends ps2

On a happier note, “Helicopter” by Bloc Party is going to be SO fun....

if i had someone to play it co-op with

SixthAngel · « **Reply #63 on:** September 20, 2007, 10:46:02 PM »

I loved the first Guitar Hero but didn't get the second. What are all these boss battles and special encores? Do you just play the song while a digital Slash does as well? How is this different from just completing a regular song? Co-op could be cool if you play at the same time but I won't be buying an extra guitar so I hope they are available in single player as well.

I see all kinds of modes being added in when all I care about is the different songs and it worries me about the future of the franchise. I hope they haven't made it harder to move on in the career mode with these additions. While I liked the difficulty on hard I got pissed that I couldn't play songs a tier above me on that difficulty because I consistently had more trouble in each mode with a supposedly easier song then all the ones above it. I can understand making expert more challenging for the superhardcore but this game sold because anyone could get into it and I would hate to have myself or others be denied songs because they went too far.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #64 on:** September 21, 2007, 04:12:25 PM »

I bet boss battles are like the computer plays a riff and you have to match it, possibly without seeing the notes on screen, kind of like a Simon. I'm pretty good at Guitar Hero - the only song on the regular tracklist I can't beat on part 2 is the Expert version of Freebird. I'm in about the top 20% (which is still around 15,000th place) on the Leaderboards on XBL, maybe higher now since I've played a little and beaten a few more songs with higher songs.

EasyCure · « **Reply #65 on:** September 23, 2007, 09:34:37 AM »

were leaderboards confirmed for the wii version or anything?

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #66 on:** October 05, 2007, 03:12:42 PM »

In case anyone is wondering, it's totally beyond a shadow of a doubt confirmed that the Wii version of GH3 IS online. IGN just posted a hands-on, playing the final version of the game. They say there's absolutely no lag when playing online with the Wii or the 360 (possibly in the PS3 version, though it can be easily adjusted for), although they are using closed servers at this time, they also praise the Wii for it's unique features in this game. Looks like the Wii version *could* possibly get the best review, at least from IGN, providing they don't incorporate DLC into the review.

IceCold · « **Reply #67 on:** October 22, 2007, 10:29:23 AM »

You know, it's going to be really interesting to see which version of this game sells the most. The Wii one is getting pushed pretty well, but the 360 already has an established fanbase.

Hmm.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #68 on:** October 23, 2007, 04:35:54 PM »

The PS2 version will sell the most. No question about it.

vudu · « **Reply #69 on:** October 24, 2007, 07:33:46 AM »

The PS2 and 360 versions will sell the most stand-alone games, but I'm betting the Wii version will sell the most guitar/game packs.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #70 on:** October 24, 2007, 03:45:29 PM »

Oh it'll sell more than the PS3 on both accounts, there's no question about that, and will probably sell more bundles than 360 as well. I bet the PS2 version sells more than all the others combined though. PS2 Guitar Hero 2 was the #1 game for a long time, and when it was on top, it was destroying everything else each week.

NuclearSpeed · « **Reply #71 on:** October 24, 2007, 05:54:32 PM »

if the amount of bundle packs we received is about the same ratio at other stores then I can say that they are planning on the PS2 version selling the most, followed by the 360, then Wii, and finally the PS3. Of course it seems to me that the PS3 sales will be cannalized by the ps2 bundle if everything from it will work on the PS3.
