OT - Guitar Hero 3

I was told yesterday by a GameStop employee that they will be selling copies of GH3 Saturday night at midnight (technically Sunday)... they had copies of the game at the store yesterday, but they wouldn't give me my preorder early. I tried bribing them, but they were too afraid of losing their jobs.

And that's correct... there are 5 songs on the demo.

Pearl Jam - "Even Flow"
Pat Benatar - "Hit me with your best shot"
Tenacious D - "The Metal"
Scorpions - "Rock you like a hurricane"
Priestess - "Lay Down"

The complete song list can be found here:

I was playing the demo for quite some time last night. Man, I think I could play Rock you Like a Hurricane for hours :lol:

Ya, I was at the midnight release of Halo 3 when that came out. I will never do that again. I'm an adult, and ya, I was excited about the game, and wanted to play it right away and all that, but picture this: A rather conservative adult standing alone amongst a crowd of 700 emo and screamo teens for 3 and a half hours while awaiting the release of the game I wanted. It was something out of a legendary comedy for sure. I was WAY out of my element, not to mention I saw a handful of my own cases there, which was not very awesome.


Ya......I want GH3 real bad, but I'm done with the whole, stand in line with the hundreds of emo and screamo kids to wait for the game I want. I'll just buy it on Sunday morning. Yet, I digress, what ever happened to punk?! :confused:

Sidebar, Roackband looks awesome, but expensive. The kit for the game will be around $200!!! It will include the game, the drum kit, a guitar, and a microphone. Awesome. You can just buy the game for $60 when it comes out, and you can use GH guitars for it, but to buy the drums seperately by itself will be about $80, from what I understand. The game looks awesome, but I hear the track listing is only about 40 or slightly more. GH3 will have over 75 songs on it by comparison. And ya, Red Octane is making that game too.
 
I'm going to have someone drive me to the local GameStop to get my copy at midnight on Saturday... I'll be too drunk at my Halloween party to drive there myself.

People that are on my Xbox Live friend list will see me playing the game sometime after I get it... I'll be too messed up to get five stars on some of the songs... and my hangover on Sunday will be easier to cope with, since I'll finally have the copy of the game in my possession.

I'll be good and sauced up, and I'll be tempted to tell off some emo/screamo kids who are getting annoying at the midnight release... my boss did the same thing to a few kids when we were waiting out in line back when the PS2 was first released. I've never seen a mouthy kid shut up so quickly... LMAO.

:lol:
 
The December 2007 issue of EGM that I got in the mail yesterday rated GH3 like this... one reviewer gave it a 9 out of 10, another gave it an 8.5 out of 10, and the last reviewer gave it an 8 out of 10.

Sounds pretty damn solid, if you ask me. :smokin:
 
I just got the game - but my system broke a few days ago. Anyone have their 360 just freeze up after a few seconds? $100 and 4 weeks for microsoft to fix it... I'm trying to decide now if I should just go buy a new one now, and sell my other once it comes back from repairs.

That's how badly I want to play this game right now...

You shouldn't have to pay a dime for them to repair the system... not after they extended the warranty coverage for faulty systems. From what I have heard, they should just send you the empty box for you to return your system in, and they send out a refurbished one in its place.

But this is another classic example of why I purchase the extended warranties... it only cost me $50 for a full two year warranty when I bought my Xbox 360 last year.
 
So.. Who went out and got GH3? I'm thinking about picking it up today if there's any left... But I hope there are as it can't be as crazy as the whole Halo 3 thing...

I did... went out and got it once the store opened this morning... with my nasty hangover going and everything... so far, I like it more than GH2.

Ready to play some of the co-op career mode over Xbox Live with anyone who's willing... sounds like some good achievements can be unlocked by doing that.
 
I bougth it as well. There was no line at Wal-Mart when I picked it up. I was surpised. I had to wait in line with 700 people to get Halo 3. No line at all for this game. It's really fun. I like the Co-op career. My wife really enjoys it too!
 
Same here... my wife and I already got through the easy tour, getting five stars on all of those songs.

Now I want to get through the medium tour... :smokin:
 
I'll finish up easy later today. I hate playing easy. I get bored. I only do it to unlock all the songs and get the money to buy more songs and guitars and characters. Well that and my wife really can only play on easy right now.

after that, I'll go through medium and hard. Expert always kicks me in the butt! I could only beat about 12 of the songs in Expert on Guitar Hero 2.

That's 12 more songs than I've ever beaten on the "expert" difficulty of GH2... :lol:
 
I unlocked Slash last night. It was easier then I thought it would be. I thought he would be the secret hidden character to unlock. It's fun to play as Slash though. I wonder who else can be unlocked ????? :confused:

All three of the guitar players that you have to battle throughout the career mode can be purchased in the shop after they're defeated... I don't want to spoil it by telling you who is there for purchase... you'll find out, and thank me for not telling you, once you're done with the career mode.

I'll just say that there are three people total (two players other than Slash) who are unlocked at the end of the career mode... ;)
 
Holy cow man! Unlocked Lou last night (the devil guy). Very cool! Just about beat Medium. I started playing a coupel of songs on hard just to get a sense as to how crazy it would be. Wow! Just wow. GH3 is much harder then GH2. I played Metallica's "One" three times yesterday on hard and could not get more then 72%! Usually I am in the upper 80's low 90's on hard. That song kicked my butt. My arm felt like is was goign to fall off after playing it! It will take a lot of practice to beat One!

Absolutely awesome song to play though!

Although I don't really like Dragonforce that much, their song on GH3 is a lot of fun to play and is also quite hard.

Wow man, this game is intense....in a good way ;) When you are playing for so long that the room begins to scroll when you are done, then you know it's time for a break ;)

I think Cr33p and I may keep this thread going for a few weeks ;)

LMAO... glad to hear someone else is thinking like I am right now... :lol:

We need to get together online and play some of the co-op stuff... I can see the achievements unlocking already!!!

We should play on line. I am having a hard time understanding how to make it to invite people into a game on GH, but I'm sure we can figure it out ;)
