Is it just me or can you get by when playing much more sloppier? Either I've gotten really fuckin good or its been more merciful on some solos I get by on. Im really not sure.

No its not that you can play sloppy, the hammer ons and pull offs just work better, just wait until you get to the later tiers on hard and expert is beast all in its own. Also on the boss battles, you have to wait for the right moment to use at least 2, preferably 3 powerups kind of spaced apart on a harder part of the song where there is numerous notes, I beat the last boss that way on my first try. I think some people and reviewers are having so much difficulty with the boss battles because they are going balls to the wall and just using powerups when they first get them and trash the boss battles because they aren't a little more patient.

I am stuck on 3 songs on Hard Career: Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden, One by Metallica, and the Slayer song.

I'll probably get Number of the Beast here pretty soon. The Metallica and Slayer songs are seriously fucking impossible. I always fail Slayer at 36% and always fail Metallica at 85%. It's inevitable. Grrrr

To reiterate, Slash is an asshole.

And playing Through the Fire and the Flames made my fingers melt.

Number of the Beast has been downed.

I hate these other two songs, though.

Yeah Slayer and Metallica right now are the brick walls for a lot of people. Those two songs are just retarded.

I just lost One on expert two times at 98%. the last little bit is really easy too, my arm just got tired and my hand slipped. *disgruntled* I tihnk I can 4 star it, the song isn't that hard. All the other ones in the last tier are pretty much impossible though.

edit: beat it. 86% which is reasonable but only 3 stars

Well I believe tier 7 is my stopping point. Ive never seen such a bad line up of four shitty ass songs that arent worth my effort. They are hard as balls, and my sloppy playing can't win through this. I guess Ill just go through medium difficulty to unlock the rest.

For fun on face-off I played Through The Fire And Flames on expert. I got 55% notes hit which, while no passing score, I am proud of.

Confusion: How can you play cooperative (guitar and bass) with the whole track list? I've unlocked nearly everything in my single player game save, but even in the co-op game(where I have played through about half with 2 players, each playing hard) if anyone picks a different difficulty than the ones originally chosen and with which the songs were beaten, it goes back to 0 songs played and you only have the first 4 songs to choose from.

And in multiplayer, there is only Face Off, Pro Face Off, and Battle mode.

What gives? I want to be able to play coop when random people come over and have different abilities and play on different difficulty levels. It's going to be really fucking lame when they have 4 songs to chose from in cooperative mode.

That was some kind of oversight to the PS2 version, the Gamespot review covers it I think. You're going to have to go through Career Co-op for each difficulty set list you want to unlock. It's kind of lame, I've remedied it by going through Career Co-op with Dragonlor on Hard, we now can do all of the songs Co-op by going into our Co-op band profile and play any song we want on that difficulty, and we are going to cruise through Medium and Easy for other people that come over and want to play Co-op. If you got the 360 version and I think the PS3 version there's some kind of patch that fixes it, not sure about the Wii version, but yeah it was a dumb oversight.

God. That is so stupid. So, so fucking stupid.

Would doing the all songs cheat thing help? I didn't even know there were codes for Guitar Hero until I started looking around, but I guess there is one that unlocks all songs. I guess I'll try that after I finish One and the Slayer song (IE never. Hah).

I have no idea about the cheat thing. Out of curiosity, are you playing One on Hard or Expert?

Also, Pyro get through Tier 7 man, its worth it. The next tier has some great songs. Go into Practice mode if you have to, it helps.

Alright, I did what you said and managed to beat it. The Queens of the Stone Age and the Slipknot songs were killing me. I finally got to play "One", its a total asshole. You think your doing good in all in the beginning, which isnt too hard at all, but then the fuck fest comes. The major problem I hit is the same as the slayer song. They'll throw 3 frets at you in a fast succession and do it again and again, its so fast all I can do is hopelessly hit frets and strum. I wonder if I am better off not playing at all....

Remember - whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right.

I just got 99% on One. I got so excited that I was going to beat it that my hands started shaking like crazy and I couldn't strum. I seriously had maybe 5 seconds of song left.

Fuck that song.

Apparantly, the PC version rocks...
...as long as you got the hardware to run it.

4 stars from GameSpy

I don't know if anyone saw this, but I saw the box at my local BB store this past weekend -- the PC version requires a GF 7600 as a bare minimum for a vid-card......

Not all of us own consoles around here, y'know...
Some are full-fledged PC gamers...

The Romantics are suing Activision over Guitar Hero Encore: Rock The 80's, since there's a song and band in the game that they feel are just like them.

The Romantics sue Activision
New wave band not happy about the inclusion of a songalike and bandalike in Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s.

By Emma Boyes, GameSpot UK
Posted Nov 23, 2007 3:16 am PT

Michigan band The Romantics, most famous for tunes What I Like About You, and Talking In Your Sleep has filed a federal lawsuit against Activision.

The group, which is still together and performing its hits today, was formed on Valentine's Day, 1977--hence the name The Romantics--and is objecting to its likeness and an "imitation" of one of its songs being used in Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s.

The lawsuit reads, "The imitation of the plaintiffs on the defendant's video game is virtually indistinguishable from the authentic version."

The legal paperwork alleges that permission was not sought to create a soundalike of the band's most famous song, and that many fans believe that the Guitar Hero version is the real deal. The Romantics are claiming unspecified damages.

According to the Detroit Free Press, the band's attorney has said that copyright is not the issue, since Activision secured permission for a cover version through the proper channels. Attorney William Horton said, "It's a very good imitation, and that's our objection. Even the guys in the band said, 'Wow, that's not us, but it sure sounds like us.'" He added, "The sales of this game are huge. We're all for good commerce. We just want to share in it."

If the case is successful, Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s could get pulled from store shelves.

Well its just down to One... I beat all the others on the last tier, yes, even the Slayer song. I just need to build endurance.

NatchDan · « **Reply #102 on:** Tuesday, January 01, 2008, 01:33:41 PM »

So I finally beat Hangar 18 on expert last night. Late to the party, perhaps. Happy, yes.

My current greatest accomplishment is beating Dragonforce's Through Fire and Flames on Hard.

I'm the opposite, One is the only song on the last tier I can beat. It also happens to be the only song in Guitar Hero 3 I enjoy playing.
