Guitar Hero 5

A.K.B. · Post by **A.K.B.** » 16 Sep 2009, 10:35

Let's start off; this is a really awesome guitar hero; fucking great tracklist, modes are awesome etc.

Got some 98% and a 99% Expert sightread on guitar (however it was the first five tiers or so we played in career mode)

AWESOME CHALLENGES, the HO/PO challenges for bass, vocal combo challenge, guitar multiplier and the list goes on!

Please discuss.

infected said it was the first time that a GH could seriously compete with RB-series.

Might buy teh.

Holy shit smax if you do not know half the songs there you are musically illiterate.

Haven't gotten really far in so I can speculate that there may be some really hard stuff.

GH5? I never knew 4 was out.

Bismuth · Post by **Bismuth** » 16 Sep 2009, 21:36

4 = WT I think.

ye, im quite into the music games for sure. and imo most of the GH games have been crap except GH2.
Rock Band was the shit until GH5 came out. the challanges, career mode and especially the new versus games owns every other music game by far!
only negative part about the game is that it might be a little to easy songs in the setlist :<

Best one so far was GH3 in my opinion. Or WT. Dont know really what is better in RB because i haven't tried it, though i'm not even going to, cos of GH5.

didnt like GH3 at all becouse of the fuckup with the HO/PO's thanks to activision taking over GH from Harmonix.

Aaaah, your one of THOSE people

WT, GH3 were bad engines, even metallica. GH2 was by far the best game imo.

ya got this for the xbox360. It's solid, the tracklist is unreal. Over half the songs on it area unreal where as guitar hero's in the past have had like 4 good songs out of 30. Also the buttons you need to press coming up on the screen are more clear then ever before with the background screen being all black. There is a few really hard songs on it but shouldn't be too hard for you experts out there. Also got Marvel Ultimate alliance, Tiger Woods 10 and NHL 10 for the xbox. all really good games. Great graphics and solid gameplay online.

infected · Post by **infected** » 17 Sep 2009, 17:30

memphis, add maasen to xbox friends list if you wanna play togheter sometime. im online about as everday playing either expert drums or expert guitarr :>

Memphis · Post by **Memphis** » 17 Sep 2009, 17:33

damn, i find medium to be a challange. Ya i'll add you next time I get on there and we can have a jam session.

Raven · Post by **Raven** » 17 Sep 2009, 21:17

Ye hammer-ons and pull-offs is fucked up but still 3 & WT got best songlists. Guitar Hero 5's songlist sounds promising and could be better than those together.

John · Post by **John** » 18 Sep 2009, 00:43

Customized one of my guitars. The body is almost 2 years old and the neck isn't modified.

My other guitar has a brand new body and modified neck so it's a lot more failsafe.

Hm so which GH is the best... I'd say GH2 too. GH3 wasn't that bad, the engine was ok and songlist was pretty coal too. GH3 is still what I pick out when I feel like cruising some GH. WT sucked really. WT had some coal songs later in the game, like the two last venues or smth but I never managed to get decent gameplay of WT (lag issue). Aerosmith is kinda expected to be sux too, yet I'm on my 2nd copy of it :s bought GH:A real cheap, realised it sacked and sold it. Then got it again when bought Les Paul + GH:A cheaper than a Les Paul alone. So GH:A is actually so sax it lowers the value on the whole pack. GH Metallica is so-so, having some problems fixing nice lag here too but at least it has nice songs.

PS3-players, add Adamant116 to friends and we can play some GH/RB in the future.

Some random GH-babble in the middle of the night.

Juish · Post by **Juish** » 18 Sep 2009, 01:13

ez best is "guitar hero rock the 80's" for ps2 all the songs are fun to play. if it had a number it would be GH1.5

second released game but not called #2.

i saw a commercial for GH5 but i didn't think it was released yet so i havent tried teh.

Grace · Post by **Grace** » 18 Sep 2009, 03:09

Actually GH Rocks the 80's is the "Encore" for Guitar hero II, it was the Third game released, so it'd be GH 2.5

Juish · Post by **Juish** » 18 Sep 2009, 04:33

ya just checked wiki. i was just going by the title i guess cause it didnt say "guitar hero 2- encore" it just says "guitar hero - encore" anyways it has a wicked tracklist. and awesome glamrock costumes

Hosp · Post by **Hosp** » 11 Nov 2009, 17:24

IMO GH 1-3 was good, the rest is just fastmade shit games.

RB FTW.

Raven · Post by **Raven** » 16 Nov 2009, 06:45

GH5 ftw.

FC'd maybe 8 songs..

Best place is some 25th, orka search the good starpaths..

Grace · Post by **Grace** » 16 Nov 2009, 09:36

i think i'm getting for christmas, then might try for some FC's...

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 16 Nov 2009, 18:39

played only gh2, gh3 and aerosmith - finished all songs except that fucking ttfaf, where i ended up like 50 times in teh end of that long solo (83% was it?)
i don't have any playstation or xbox so i played it only at school, if i had more time i would definitely finish teh.. but the console we had here has been taken and i can't try anymore
anyway i think rockband and gh4-5 are already a bit over the top - wtf, playing like a band?
learn how to play on real guitar, nabs:) this is slowly getting retarded
what will be next? 22 frets? many strings? wtf?

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 16 Nov 2009, 18:47

Exactly the same here, except I made it two times past that part but failed at 90% (5 seconds before the easy part just before the end).

Grace · Post by **Grace** » 17 Nov 2009, 08:02

Red Snake

TTFaF is easy, once i got the intro down, was simple from there on in.

A.K.B. · Post by **A.K.B.** » 17 Nov 2009, 09:07

ttfaf is easy, though I only get 83% or so on expert.

w00 got 93% on One and 91% on Cliffs of Dover sightread!

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 17 Nov 2009, 13:01

i had a feeling that ttfaf was much easier when the batteries were changed but lost teh playstation before i really tried:)
and you know, i couldn't play much because both ps2 and the game were not mine, time was just a good time killer at school

Raven · Post by **Raven** » 17 Nov 2009, 14:32

sightread?

Bismuth · Post by **Bismuth** » 17 Nov 2009, 18:24

Haruhi, the part right after the red snake, red snake puts me in flashing red, and the little part just after kills me

It happened 2 times.

sight-reading is a term used in music when you don't know the piece beforehand and you play as you read the notes for the first time. get it? xd

Raven · Post by **Raven** » 17 Nov 2009, 20:54

yeah, thats what i thought

Grace · Post by **Grace** » 18 Nov 2009, 02:25

i have 20 something sightread FCs (on-disc)

and Bis: from the Triple chords after the solo (AFTER here we stand) all the way to the second Rampaging dragons is all part of the red snake.

Bismuth · Post by **Bismuth** » 18 Nov 2009, 02:56

Oh, well, then. But it was not in the actual red snake.

infected · Post by **infected** » 18 Nov 2009, 09:47

are there none except me that plays rockband ;o would like to have someone to tag along on endless setlist2 on xbox if anyones up for that.
i'll be doing expert drums

Grace · Post by **Grace** » 18 Nov 2009, 10:02

i play Rock Band, problem is Rock Band 2 isn't fucking sold in Australia.

i would love to play the endless setlists though :S

infected · Post by **infected** » 18 Nov 2009, 10:11

how come its not in stores? why not just buy it from the web then?

quite alot better then RB1 imo and the dlc list is just crazy

Grace · Post by **Grace** » 18 Nov 2009, 12:34

idk, some shit with Harmonix or whoever makes it -> they just don't sell it, i herd some rumours it's coming early '10, but cbf waiting, might buy from EBay

John · Post by **John** » 9 Jan 2010, 03:33

Played some GH2 and GH3 during xmas holiday. Managed to do 10 FCs which for some of you here is pretty sux, but it exceeded my previous yearly quota so I'm pretty happy. Love the setting that my sister had:

Stereo TV 28"
PS2 (mine)
Wired guitar (mine)

If fukked up on that setup I could only blame myself, unlike up here where there's hdtv-lag and wireless usb-retards... sry usb-guitars :( cant stress enough how fukkin sux it is

Grace · Post by **Grace** » 9 Jan 2010, 04:27

For christmas i got gh5 for ps3, it's fucking easy, i don't like the majority of the songs and you need all instruments to get all trophies/stars.

i've only pathed a few songs, Do i spy a SmaXa global first?

A.K.B. · Post by **A.K.B.** » 11 Jan 2010, 13:30

Smaxa plays on easy? WTF

Grace · Post by **Grace** » 11 Jan 2010, 17:01

i play expert, i path easy (optimise) so use the best possible star power activations for the highest score.

infected · Post by **infected** » 15 Apr 2010, 20:01

might be wrong topic but here we go. meet a drummer from the states yesterday with a capture card. he was impressed with how bad i was with strumming and how skilled i was on solos with fast HO/PO. so he asked if he could frap some songs with me doing guitarr + drums. so here we go, first song of the day, Coheed and Cambria - Welcome Home (i know quite easy song! but more is coming!):
