As I have mentioned in at least one prior blog, I am a fan of Guitar Hero (and Rock Band as well, but GH is the focus of this blog :3). Since my last entry about it, I have finished Guitar Hero: World Tour on Bass and Guitar Expert Careers, and beaten all the bonus songs on Guitar (Except for "Scatch Boogie," which I have beaten on Hard, not Expert). While there were a few on the last tier I had not gotten 5 stars on, I decided not to work on them just yet.
I have gone back to Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. I have beaten it on Expert Career, and finished every bonus song except for "Through The Fire And the Flames" (Well I beat TTFATF when I taped the green button down for the intro, but we all know that doesn't count and was only for shitz n giggles :3). The only Career song I have not gotten 5 stars on was "Raining Blood". My current score is like 202k, and the cutoff for 5 stars is 227k, so I have a little ways to go there.
In the meantime, I have been playing some of the other songs to increase my overall career score (Which is like 10,400,000 ish) and the high scores of the individual songs. I had been playing some of the easier songs and was getting bored with them, so I decided to play "Number of the Beast" by Iron Maiden, a song which used to be the death of me, and took 3 straight weeks of practice to 5 star, even after I 5 star'd "One". I had gotten pretty good at it, landing a score of around 400k, but repeatedly was unable to top it. Today, however, I played it out of the blue, no practice runs, no hard-song exercises. I nailed 525,775 points and unlocked the "Half a Mil" achievement, and surprised myself with how easy it was! To me, it felt as if I'd only just played "Barracuda," a song which is not all that difficult to do, but slightly tiring on the hands if played repeatedly (Gallops = lolz).
So anywayz, yay me!

I played Rock Band 2 at a friends.
I had to sing “That’s what you get” by Paramore. On easy. I got 100%.
………
His mom says I can’t come over if I sing now.
I played Guitar Hero (I dunno which) in Best Buy once.
Tried expert even though it was my first time playing.
Guess the rest.
Guitar Hero just adds up to a whole bunch of fail for me.
Rock Band is more of my thing. The only thing Guitar Hero does well is ramp up in difficulty.
World Tour is just Activision money grubbing.
Ehhh I kinda like World Tour’s slide-feature… It’s hawt… I’m a big fan of HOPOs, I like not having to strum 😛 I sorta wish they’d make an auto-strum cheat so I could play like that for the hell of it. I like Rock Band’s song selection moar tho… And I’m pissed at Activision for not letting Harmonix put “Welcome to the Jungle” on Rock Band… That song is EPIC and would have been AWESOME on full band play!
Activision’s a giant dick monger.
I prefer the Guitar Hero guitars a lot more. The buttons are easier to use, especially for the hammer-ons and pull-offs, and I prefer a clicking strum bar. =P
And Number of the Beast is one of those strumming songs. =( If you think that’s hard, you should play Guitar Hero: Smash Hits. They took GH2 songs (which had the most strumming songs) and made them harder.
Yeah I think Smash Hits was just Activision guzzling money… Nevertheless, I still plan on buying it when I have the money… Right after I get GH Metallica :3
Activision still pwns for COD4. 😀
COD4 was only published by Activision. It was actually made by Infinity Ward. CoD5 was made by a different company, Treyarch, hence the suckage.
Lol I love how a topic about Guitar Hero segued into one about Activision itself and then CoD.. O_o
I prefer Rock Band. Just because you can feel like your in a banh when really it’s just you and 3 friends playing with big, plastic…toys.
And I hate Guitar Hero’s singing design. >.>
CoD5 sucked. I say that, and they all go like “WTF NO, ZOMBIE NAZI’S.” … Baka.
Smash Hits is good if you only have like Guitar Hero: WT. It has no songs from that game. A lot of songs got harder, like Barracuda. They made TTFAF easier though.
Lol, I didn’t play GH2 in like half a year(?) and well, picked up my guitar, first song I played was Beast And The Harlot on Expert which I never played before, aced.
God dam I don’t know how to explain the awesomeness level I was at o:
Maybe my hands just got bigger and let me grip the frets better I dunno
@dragoon: That’s most likely a huge factor. My little brother (who is 10) is pretty good for his age. He can play on expert but he isn’t able to keep up a 4x multiplier for very long. Most of his problem is that his fingers are too small to quickly reach between all five frets.
No one can beat through the fire and flames. It’s impossible.
