Anyone played every game in the series? Did it any sequel ever top GH3?
>>342648602
GH Metallica and WoR are better.
GH3 is overcharted as fuck, is a good game, but goddamn.
WoR > GH3
at least for me
>>342648602
As far as song list goes, then no.
>Shitty calibration and comically forgiving hopo mechanics 3
>good
3 best soundtrack, 2 best engine
I think WoR is just difficult to play for the sake of being difficult. With great songs sprinkled throughout.
WHO /DRUMS/ HERE
>>342656849
I'm normally a RB fanboy but this really was the superior drum setup
>>342648602
WoR wins for me for one reason and one reason only.
Burn, by Deep Purple.
>>342657396
She makes me burn with a wave of her HAAAAAAAND
>>342648602
used to be obsessed op. owned every guitar hero game, spin off title (including the DS one) plus all the rockband games.
i stopped all together after guitar hero 5...
from grade 8 - beginning of grade 10 these games were my life. id have friends over and wed all have a blast playing. that was back when i had fiends...
Fap Hero is best Hero.
>>342656849
got 5 stars on run to the hills expert. something i always took pride in at a young age
>>342657096
nigga have you ever used a set of GH drums?
things were fucking trash.
>>342659181
Setup as in layout
>>342659256
RB ion set was better. so was the RB set + symbols add on.
but out of the box yeah GH felt more authentic to a real drum set
>>342658450
Then you were stupid enough to start browsing this shithole.
>>342648602
>used to be so good at GH and RB I could play over half the playlists without looking at the screen
>tfw could have used that time to learn an actual skill
3 was my first, and had a bunch of good music, but 2 and 5 are the best.
Played 1-3 and World Tour.
2 is the best.
>>342660546
>tfw this was the only game I played professionally
>actually won real money and a whole fucking instrument set for my friends in my band (easily 2 grand + worth of shit)
>pick it up again
>fail out on panic attack on guitar
Not even fucking worth it
>>342649139
>Playing 50 tracks of samey music from a stale band is fun
Warriors of Rock was okay. The Rush song and final battle song was pretty rad but ever since GH and RB are focused on being a party game instead of a skill-based music game, the quality in music went downhill fast. GH3 still has the best tracks second to GH2
>>342660435
i discovered this shithole when i was 19. well after things went downhill
to this day there's still non-custom/RBN songs that have never been FC'd.
will anyone get Pulse of the Maggots or Operation Ground and Pound? will anyone care if they do?
>>342661040
>panic attack
Fuck that song. The Machine Head song on RB was bullshit as well, Aesthetics of Hate I think it was. There was a certain section after one of the solos where the notes were so crammed together it was literally impossible to hit them all since RB has a strum limit, meaning you can only strum so many notes per second before the game just fails to register your strums.
>>342661391
Has Conquer All been FC'd on drums yet?
>>342661510
>tfw they put Aesthetics of Hate in instead of Halo
Worst song on that album but muh dimebag
>beat GH2 and nearly GH3 on Expert years ago
>tried picking it back up last year thinking muscle memory would suffice
>could barely hack it on Medium
fuck, I want to play Cliffs of Dover on Expert again
>>342661651
What's worse is when you can still play it but your arm starts cramping after a song or two
>>342661651
Now try Raining blood or One.Good luck on One solos in expert.
>>342661285
Well, the whole point of WoR was to go back to songs picked almost solely for their guitar parts. You'd get ridiculous choices like putting a Blind Melon song in, but it was Tones of Home instead of No Rain, just because the former song was 10x more fun on guitar than No Rain would be.
It's too bad music games were dead by the time it came out, since it was the best game since GH2.
>playing surrender on expertpost your favourite song
>>342648602
get real.
>>342662045
Best song across all music games coming through
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fndzbtAhEWc
>>342661632
It's been years since I've listened to that album but I specifically remember the closing track being fucking amazing.
>>342662042
I never beat those, nor Number of the Beast because of the wildly changing chords. I think a lot of the difficulty in GH3 was from poor charting, rather than being difficult but fair.
GH1=DeS
GH2=DaS
GH3=DaS2
RB=BB
didn't play anything after that
>>342662045
Either The Devil Went Down to Georgia on GH3 or Blood and Thunder.
>blood and thunder on expert+ drums
>>342662045
Not my favorite song, but Paint it Black was most fun to play

Harmonix where is my damn Muse dlc pack?
FCPREMIX and This day we fight are also good.
>>342662394
GH3 suffers a lot of overcharting, at least they fixed some charts on Greatest hits.
>>342662219
A Farewell to Arms is fantastic, probably too long for a good RB song though. Probably going to listen to it now
>>342662469
GH Metallica is overkill for anyone that dares to play as drummer.
Shame that Rock Band don't use double pedal charts too much.
>>342658795

>a farewell to arms
Thats the one. Thanks anon, gonna go do that as well.
>>342662919
GHM was what you put in when your friend thinks his shit doesn't stink. Probably my favorite GH game just because the songs were consistently challenging on every instrument.
Reminder that GuitarHeroPhenom killed Guitar Hero.
Everyone post that one song that gave you way more fits than it should have.
>Before I Forget
5-Starred almost every song, but could never even get four on this one
>>342663420
Nah, actionvision killed GH series.
We got like 5 games in a single year. And Rock band shoved DLC up to everyone arse.
>>342663420
You know it's true. The dude just went too autistic over it, wrecked all the records, and it became no fun because there was no competition anymore.
>>342663594
Activision too but that fucker just ruined the whole competition and let's not forget his father, Jack, getting in the way thinking his kid was some rockstar.
>>342663459
It's a tie between Cliffs of Dover and Jordan. Cliffs because I could never get the end of the intro solo right and Jordan because it lulls you into a false sense of security with the easy as fuck intro, only to be followed by a sea of fucking Skittles on the screen.
>>342662045
I like the first few games (1-3, 80s). Haven't played 5 or WoR in a while.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB1D1rueXXE
>>342663459
i downloaded all of WoR onto Phase Shift, and i'm not sure if it's a quirk with the program or if i'm just shit, but i cannot keep a combo on this song for some reason.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkmSallKk18
i mean it's a tricky song anyway, but even relatively simple stuff like the quick G-GY-G-G-GB always break my streak.
>>342664036
That was only done last year too.
Although what surprises me even more is that it got a million views. I guess people still care about RB/GH skill videos even if the genre is basically dead.
>>342664064
Tier 5 song.
Punk and thrash metal songs are always high tier.
But I feel that GH and Rock Band always lack on Power metal songs. That one can even bring real guitarists to knees.
>>342664234
Genre is dead with causals, but the games still have some autistic fan base and following.
Also its a good game for parties.
RB4 is getting an expansion pack, no info other than "big, new, never before seen modes that all players will enjoy" and its name, Rivals, which suggests some kind of competitive modes.
i hope it's enough to unfuck the series, anyway, though that's being pretty hopeful.
>>342648602
>GH3
>good
neversoft killed the game. good thing they got killed in the process too
the searies peak at GH2
>>342665568
It's just me or Rock Band feel a bit soulless in comparison to GH series.
Charts aside, RB lacks of Characters and Imaginary, over the top animations and etc.
I think it's the arcade feel or something, RB looks more sterile.
>>342665568
I still think it was too soon to bring it back. It only died maybe half a decade ago.
>>342665903
>RB lacks of Characters and Imaginary, over the top animations and etc.
thank god for that. GH became ridiculous, couln't take the game seriously
>>342666191
>Not liking playing guitar like a fiddle with devil or Playing Sudden death to tame a metal kaiju. Fag
GH5 have a okay setlist but it is kinda normie for a GH game.
>>342665903
I only played the 1st game, but it seems to me like RB went for a more "serious" approach whereas every other rhythm game has a focus on fun/entertainment. I personally never liked the use of blocks and then smaller blocks for notes in RB.
>>342667039
>playing a rhythm game for anything other than its music
I bet you play RPGs for waifus too
on a serious note, I wish these games went the Rocksmith way, showing the charts and nothing else.
>>342666191
It's a party game dude.
>>342667103
GH is more arcade right down to retarded charts, RB is more serious Rhythm game with accurate charts and pro mode.
Both are fine but GH charts are more fun to play.
>>342667103
it wasn't as wacky as GH, but it didn't take itself that seriously either, which was probably most obvious with some of the gear you could get your characters to wear.
Damn I was just thinking about this yesterday. There are way too many games in the series to rate but Metallica was my favorite out of the whole series.
>10/10 soundtrack that was challenging yet fun
>Better character customization, if that's your thing i guess
>Expert+
>dat intro
Fuck i need to play it again
>can't play songs on a plastic toy that I could easily play on a real guitar
It really bothered me that I wasn't getting any better at some songs on Expert, I don't think I ever beat that Dragonforce piece of shit or the final showdown in GHIII.
Still felt good to work down the setlist though, I hate how the later games just had the full setlist unlocked.
>>342648602
3 is overhyped
2 is better
>>342668753
>Last venue is Antarctica
>Years later Metallica plays on Antarctica.
No trapped under ice on both which is a shame. But yeah the game have a pretty good song list and difficult curve.I hate the lack of Outlaw Torn.
>>342669423
>series already had full band play
>release a game called "band hero"
I never understood that
>>342665568
I actually really like RB4's setlist. Probably my favourite since GH2.
>>342669760
they were milking the series and the genre dry at this point
>>342669760
Band hero have both Lead and Rhythm guitar charts.
Main games and Rock Band use hybrid charts INB4 the most hard parts.
>>342669901
no I know but why was it called band hero
did it do anything different that focused on the band aspect?
>>342669983
>Band hero have both Lead and Rhythm guitar charts.
So it's the same thing except they replaced bass with rhythm guitar?
>>342670116
Yeah and but with Kurt Cobain lawsuit.Kurt Dancing YCMA on GH5 Is funny no matter what.
still no p-funk in RB. super weak stuff harmonix
on that note, RIP bernie worrell
>>342670018
not really. it was more of a family game. like how rock band did a Lego Rock Band game. they did release a better drum kit with it, however
>tfw bass is harder on GH than rockband.
That damn clear note always get me and breaks my rhythm.
could've been great.

1.5 mil, then it was probably gonna be a 59.99$ game at the cheapest, assuming you're a cool guy like me and have a wired controller already. + DLC of course
It's a lot to pay when anyone can just get Phase Shift and 90% of the setlist of every music game for free.
The best Guitar Hero games in ny opinion are Warriors of Rock, 3, Metallica, and 2 with Smash Hits being an honorable mention.
>>342672168
>PS2 versions.
Don't Even Wii ports are better, loading times are horrible, and later ports are a disaster.
Wii ports at least have some extra stuff and load faster.
Also, Midori is the best girl.
>>342658450
>including the DS one
There were 3 GH games on DS, 4 if you include Band Hero.I got all 4 on release.
>>342672265
>I prefer emulate Wii RB3 than fund a kikestarter
Does it run ok? I'd like to try pro keys with my bitching keyboard I have yet to use.
>>342673043
All RB and GH games on Wii are full playable.
Some have a bit of texture issues, but nothing that affects gameplay.
>>342673218
Why not just use FoF or phase shift at this point
>>342673404
RB have custom songs that FoF or phaseshift don't have.
It's okay if you have a real Wii with homebrew.
>>342673664
>It's okay if you have a real Wii with homebrew.
Then you're not emulating it.
>>342673863
No, I use my Wii with a Sd card full of DLC and custom songs and HD loader.
But if you want emulate, go ahead, DLC server are alive.
>>342662720
Speaking of which, why is Smash Hits/Greatest Hits so expensive on eBay?
I mean, I'm not complaining since I got my copy when it came out, but I'm just wondering.
>Get the itch to play Guitar hero again since I only played GH4 WT on Wii and that was alright
>Buy WoR on Amazon for around a hundred (why the fuck is a piece of plastic so damn expensive ?)

Who here /DJHero/?
Retarded idea, bretty good game
>>342674662
It's fucking shit, since you can't have all the song all the time.
At least controller is alright. But you should get a new controller and get a game with a song list with more flavor for you. Or fix the controller, for some reason they have some issues with use pretty cheap to fix.
>>342648602
there was this guy who "hacked" my Wii and had a bunch of games he would sell for 5-10 bucks new and old, but one time I came across a gem which was a GH3 clone except all the songs were replaced with System Of a Down. being a big fan of soad I bought it and was impressed on how every song was mapped to perfection.
Is the newest Guitar hero worth it? I'm thinking of buying an xbone/ps4 just for it
>>342675201
DJ hero was goat, but controller was expensive and the market got saturated with Hero games.
>>342675657
NONONONO
DON'T DO IT
If you must play the game, get the last-gen version, but the game is pretty shite.
>>342657096
That's probably the only time I've ever heard that from someone before, considering that you can use edrum kits legitimately in RB and how well the drum charting is in RB3.
>>342675814
Why is that?
>>342676082
I think he's saying it's better for the price. A real drum kit is always going to be better, but not everyone wants to spend that much.
Also I figured out a way to use GH drums as MIDI triggers and make them play actual drum sounds through my laptop. It's been so long though, I forget how.
>>342676250
You have to pay microtransactions to play the songs you want to play, otherwise you only get random songs.
Need I say more?
>>342661391
Pulse has been fced. OGaP is likely never because the one guy that could ended up getting a life.
>>342676368
You can connect midi drums since GH WT.
But, RB have a better support for that kind of stuff.
Best part about the rhythm game genre, crash or no, is getting access to these songs' multi-tracks and assets. Shit we'd never have had access to in a million years without painstaking reproduction.
Most people won't have a use for it, but it's still cool as fuck.
Y'all know that you can download GH3 on PC (works on W10) and play online right?
>>342676467
Nope. Jesus fuck
>>342669423
>>342669423
Are you me!?!? Not only is the Beatles rock band the only one I have but I also have two copies of Guitar hero 3. Wtf
>>342676565
Fucking this.
It's pretty good for artists or people that are learning a instrument. Go practice or No fail mode mute every other instrument and listen to the part or song that you want.
>>342663459
I don't have trouble with it anymore, but Hey Man, Nice Shot should definitely be higher than tier-1 for drums. Also, Whip It took fucking forever to gold-star.
>>342676565
That's a good point. I've made song remixes using the vocal part only and I have GH/RB to thank for providing that.
>>342676565
I'm with you on that, I just love listening to the stems of songs.

If I remember Gh3 is the last one that allows you to play with a controller that not is a plastic guitar.
I think you can play with a keyboard, but to get gud you going need a plastic guitar.

Are you saying a regular old controller would work? Interesting if so but seems to defeat the purpose.
Xbox works on PC confirm deny?
What is harder WoR Megadeth finale or GH3 last setlist?Assuming that you don't use the powers on WoR
Is the new Rock Band any good?
>>342679335
Any 360 controller should work.
I'm not sure about the wireless guitars, but the wired white one works.
>>342679367
It has its problem. Rock Band 3 is still infinitely better, but apparently RB4 is going to get a shit loads more of post launch support going into the next year and beyond.
