While I await my the results of my RMA of my motherboard, I decided to go ahead and get Guitar Hero 3 for my PS2. My boss brought the PS3 version into work and I got hooked.

 

So anyway, I take this thing home, jam through the easy career without breaking a sweat. Now I am halfway through the medium setting. I just played this game for 3 hours straight! I can't play this game sitting because it don't feel right to play the guitar controller sitting down. I was so into the game, I didn't realize the pain I had put myself through. I am sitting here, the tips of my left fingers completely numb and my legs killing me. I guess that's a good indication how into the game I was.... I didn't feel this pain till I put it down to go check on my homework for the night!

 

My RMA had better get back soon, I'm having fun but I'm not sure how much more of this my body can take

Yeah, Guitar Hero is a good time. I've put a few hours into that game myself.

i bet you'd stop for $9000 like the dad who sold his kid's copy

Heh, I love Guitar hero -- number 3 included. Its an awesome game to just take a short 15-20 min break or so on in between sessions.

 

 

I can beat every song on expert save for Through the fire and flames and the very end of Raining Blood (I can get to like 85% and fail on final solo).

 

Oh and I don't think I can beat the in flames song, haven't tried.

I finally beat Through The Fire and Flames on expert the other day. My left hand was completely dead afterwards though.

i must say it is a fun game i havent got to play number 3 yet though.

I could probably beat it but the intro is a mother *. I can 4x the parts like "rampaging dragons" and "grinding scales" lol.

I can't wait until my daughter opens it for Christmas then I can play play play while she is at school LOL.

I love that game too.

 

Oh yea Roach is right I stand up and play and always yell " Good evening Thunder Bay, at the start of every song like I'm on stage. Ya that's right.

Yeah...the intro is not fun. One day I was lucky enough to actually get passed it and from there it was pretty smooth sailing with star power.

I envision you just like Randy on South park playing guitar hero, klink.

 

I got the 2nd one for christmas last year and got really addicted. My fingers got blisters from playing so much.

 

I don't like to play it sitting down either, it just aint right.

 

One of my friends got the 3rd one and we beat it that night. Then the next night we beat the co-op mode. Fun stuff

 

oh we were playing on medium, I got about halfway through the 2nd on hard and started to feel like it was more work than it was fun.

Only song that gave me fits on the easy setting was Slayer's "Raining Blood". I can't get better than 3 stars on it. I actually did better with the Dragonforce song, but I think it's because I've heard it before and was therefore familiar with it's rythm already.

 

Medium looked like it was going to be easy as well, I busted through the first 3 stages without a lot of hassle. Even the guitar battles weren't too bad. However, I got to the final level and got stuck. I tried tackling Metallica's "One" and did fine right up to the guitar solo.... then got so finger-tied and frustrated I just turned off the game. LOL

 

The part that's giving my fingers the most pain right now is the yellow/blue button chords. For some reason, using the middle and pinky fingers at the same time is painful. At first, I just went with my natural tendency to move my whole hand, but kept missing the buttons (it's not like feeling the frets on a guitar, I quickly discovered). So I tried using those two fingers and that was a mistake ><. My hand still hurts from last nights session of playing Lacuna Coil's "Closer" for practice on that transition.

 

Somebody bought a copy for 9 stacks? Damn, I'd sell mine for 1/3rd of that and not even blink if somebody was buying.

medium is for noobs expert is for the noob owners like me all i need to really beat is through the fire and flames on ex.

i did a cheat where its 5 times faster and i beat slow ride on hard so it was sorta ironic

Ha!!! You admited to cheating who's the noob now:eek:

Ha!!! You admited to cheating who's the noob now:eek:

its just to make the game harder so its not really being a noob So HAAHAHHA

its just to make the game harder so its not really being a noob So HAAHAHHA

It's still cheating though;)

Pfft, and here I was proud of myself for finally making it to the hard difficulty. Way to make the old man feel inferior

It's still cheating though;)

ur still wierd

Deadroach you are dead on. I like the game too. I have spent many an hour makin it through Hard. I found hard to be the same as medium but with an extra button. Nice thread!

game is so bleeding fun!!!!

i'm at a cousins house this christmas playing it

gonna buy myself a copy and a guitar when i get back home

 

THROUGH THE FIRE AND FLAMES!

Oooo weeee we got the cordless black guitar now. It is great. I am going to WalMart tomorrow morning to get another one for 19 bucks.

Rock On!

Remember, your mom doesn't count as a fan.

Careful you might catch that there "carpet tunnel."

I got it for the Wii it is fun.

it's a fun game alright, I've been able to play some songs on expert but i normaly stick to hard
