Avatar is not a cheat. It was just an easy game that gave it up with a mere introduction.

The producers of Avatar were smart. Think of how many sales they made for idiots just wanting the points. They must have sold a ton of copies to Blockbuster/GF too

I see, i wonder if adding an "M$" to the end would do it.

They're referring to downloaded game saves.

I think that's too much. Can they do that? Is that part of the TOS?
Is the gamerscore going to count? to be used for something special? That's the only way I'd approve a change like that.
My gamerscore is only ~7K, being there since 12/06 I think that's a low GS, so I really don't care, but I think that's too much from Microsoft.

The hard core achievement point whores have 3 360s as well, 1 from each region, so I imagine they at least bought a copy in each region that the game is available.

So does this mean I can't use the Just Cause achievement glitch?

There are actually people who bought 360s from multiple regions just to get more achievement points???

Seems like an appropriate time to post this now, obviously the middle panels.

I could be wrong, but I'm thinking they are only talking about using game saves.

so you guys haven't figured out that the big rock endings only score you on the last button press? It's not a sum of how many you can hit, but the timing of your press.

But you have to play notes in the freestyle section to even accrue a bonus for you to be awarded for hitting the final notes.

The solo buttons allow you to increase that score without strumming. Yes you still have to strum the final notes, but I didn't imply otherwise. I just gave the other use the solo buttons have on the RB guitar that a GH one won't have.

yeah - but you can get away with playing only one note in the freestyle section and providing you hit the last notes - get just as big of a bonus as if you flail for the whole time

Then what's the score that increases as I flail and gets applied to my final score if I hit the final note(s) but goes to 0 if I miss?

Think of the freestyle zone as a timeline.

0------------------------------------------------Max

Each tick is a set score, so while it looks like your score in increasing with each tap of the keys or drums, it is - but not how you think. It's not a sum of all button presses, but a flag on where in the timeline you last hit the note. The closer your final button press is to the end, the higher your score is.

This is interesting and I'll have to test it later. Do you have any proof online about it that I can see in the meantime?

Everything I've experienced tells me that more notes played (not just last) = higher score and that I can play more notes on the solo buttons without strumming than on the regular fret with strumming.

Nope - nothing online that proves it except for my experience. I pounded the shit out of a song and got one score, then the same song I did it only hitting as close to the end as possible - and it jumped up to very close to the previous score.

Also, and likely obviously - the longer you wait between note hits the higher each score jump will be.

Okay well it may or may not work this way... but doing it that way removes the fun factor. The point is to freeform. Wail.
