Looks like somebody is. :D






Meaning me of course. I still need to do it. :(

Yeah i will totally have to try this sometime. Does it have to be done on a certain difficulty?

I will probably do vocals so i can swap out with my wife for breaks.

You can do it on any I believe, but there is an achievement for Med, Hard, and Exp. (If you do Expert, you'll get all 3.)

Ha! I don't play guitar! :p

Hrm, the lure of achievements is great. I worry about passing later songs on higher difficulty levels and i am pretty sure my wife would struggle on hard with several of the songs.

So the game is bullshit because you two-starred Ace of Spades on a 4x fan gamble?

I'm sorry if this is against some DVDTalk handholding forum request where everyone's right and you're all supporting each other, but that's like "I flipped a coin and it was heads THREE TIMES IN A ROW fuck coins!"

"The crowd is out of control. People are chanting. You are on the verge of wetting your pants. If you beat this tricky song with 5 stars and no Overdrive, you'll earn a lot more fans, but if you blow it, you'll LOSE a ton of fans! Are you ready to BURN THIS MOTHER DOWN?"

The new opportunities in BWT are pretty fun but I don't like that all the songs are pre-determined. The video shoots have cool effects and I'm so glad that they're not overused. Quad fans + the staff guy that gives double fans is so good and going to help me stock up people to lose when I fail ESL2 on drums.

There's no "handholding request" here - but being mature gamers, we are allowed to voice frustrations that we have without being shit on by each other. And when the shitting does occur, it's all good natured ribbing amongst lame ass internet friends. Like that princess Miyu.

C'mon guys.....group hug.

Tarantino 10-13-08 06:18 PM

My roommate and I did a five song setlist and were asked if we wanted to add an encore song to the performance, so we said yes.

The fifth song was Kansas...and the encore song was...Kansas.

Pretty lame that it had us play the same song one after another. That's the only time I'd seen that happen.

wiki.scorehero.com/OpportunityEvents-RockBand2 has a list of all opportunities and what songs they use. Damn 15 posts 'till I can link!

I'M HELPING!

Nice link. (Seriously. After I posted it looked like a dick comment, but it wasn't)

Damn...I wish DVDTalk had rep enabled. You would get mucho for that one!

:up:

devilshalo 10-13-08 07:15 PM

Kind of a large difference in the amount of fans you get between Hard and Expert. 150K to 1M. I wish they would cut the difference when two instruments are split.

I'm just saying.. it's kinda difficult to sing and play guitar at the same time when you don't know the words to the song all that well. :(

So Rock Band has defeated Guitar Hero:WT for me! I was playing 3 GHWT songs and just could not take it anymore. The animations and graphics are so dated, and the huge circles for notes make it too clunky to play. Guess I'll just play through it once with my friend tonight to get some achievements, then go back to the good game :)

When was the last time you played GH3?

Give us some impressions about the vocal sections. Very different from RB?

Also, you just have the game alone (GH4) correct? No drums?

Last year, the day RB1 came out :)

I have not sung or drummed yet...will do that later tonight. And yes, I only have the game, no GHWT drums.

Ah, thats too long away from the GH series. Did you ever like GH3, and how far did you get thru the game if so?

Awesome, please do so. I must know about vocals.

I was planning on doing this and looking in there. Got a link to the DIY fix or a quick description of what to look for? Top of my head, I'm expecting "dirty" contacts or something.

I must have missed this post before. Just open it up, slip out the chip at the base of the neck and move it in front of the bracket holding it in. Here's a crude look at it (green bar = | is the chip):

Original: :::::frets::::neck:::::[|]

DIY Fix: :::::frets::::neck:::::[ ]|

Once you do this you are really going to have to use some force putting the neck back in but once you do the neck will be tighter and you button should work again.

So the vocals worked ok...seemed more sensitive than Rock Band. The only bad thing is that there is no way to tell how well a a particular phrase is going for you. Aside from the Red/Green needle meter, there is nothing on the screen. It's kind of hard to explain I guess....it needs that circle that fills up like in RB so you can make sure you are doing well to keep your multiplier.
