I have never used hyper speed on GH3. Yea, it helped me a lot on the previous game, but I haven't needed it yet, and I don't intend to start using it.

i beat guitar hero 1, 2 and 3 in expert!

Hyper speed messes me up pretty badly in gh3.

I've beaten Jordan on expert multiple times in gh2 with hyperspeed on, but I failed BARRACUDA with hyperspeed on my sightread. Seriously.

If you cant get passed tier 8 in gh2, have fun with raining blood and one. :)

Activision was holding a national tournament so I decided I'd give it a shot. I did pretty well. I got through the first round but I choked and fucked up Number of the Beast. Not like I had much of a chance. HellAshes (also known as the guy who had a -1 run Jordan) was in attendance. I ended up in seventh place. It was fun just to get out and finally get to do a real Guitar Hero tournament.

Don't forget TTFAF :p

So, yea, I just returned GH3 to blockbuster (yea, I rented it, I'm cheap :) and, overall, I was very impressed with it. Almost all the songs are ones I've heard of, it was challenging, and h/o's and p/o's are a lot more lenient (anyone remember what a bitch they were in GH1?)

Where was that? I heard about it and I wanted to go, but no one told me where it was. But yeah, it's nice to play against other people that are just as good as you, or even better. I won a GH tournament thing near where I live, and it was VERY fun. The last round was me and another very good GH player, and by his request we played Misirlou on Expert, and I won by 5 notes! It's SOOO much fun!

It's not really a gigantic tournament. There are eight locations and today's was the only one in the north east. It was pretty cool that they didn't go the regular route and stick the tournament in NYC. There wasn't a huge crowd there. They hadn't even filled up half of the 120 slots. Some of the people there were really incredible though. Even if I didn't fuck up on Number of the Beast in the quater finals I would have been annihilated by the other three players on Cliffs of Dover in the next round.

I LOVE TTFAF!!
That's my new favorite song on this game. I've already downloaded it to my iTunes.

Jercurpac how good are you? Like what are some of your scores?

I wanna know how good the people who showed up at this tournament are.

I'm above average, but not amazing. When I'm alone I play for fun so my career scores aren't that outstanding, but when I'm online or in a contest like that and there's real pressure to do well I usually get significantly better scores. The high score I have for 3s and 7s in the game is around 250k and I got a 305k in the tournament. Five other people out of about forty got over 300k. The highest was 380k and that was a 100% run. The next round was Number of the Beast. I messed up the first half and, out side the solo almost had a 100% on the second, but I still fell short of making the semi-finals. I had 440K (i think) and there five people who went over 500K. The semi-finals was Cliffs of Dover (which would have knocked me out of the tournament for sure, I still can't five-star it) and the four remaining people all got well over 200k. The finals was Knights of Cydonia, both finalists made a bunch of mistakes in the fast picking sections, but they had 100% on everything else.

I hate that song now. Don't get me wrong, it's a damn good song, but when you're at a party, and the only song everyone wants to play is Through the Fire and Flames, it gets fucking annoying.

I'm like, "Seriously, I'm fucking tired of this fucking song!". Oh well...Did do some other songs at that time...Good times...

Kudos to you.

When you do get to that level, it's an amazing feeling...

PS: Got about half of Hard 5-starred. I'm really starting to hate Pride and Joy...horrible cover, not much fun to play, IMO.

I still haven't beaten Co-op yet. I think I said I did earlier on in the forum, but I don't know what I was thinking. The friend that I was playing with got carpal-tunnel right before my eyes while playing it, so he doesn't wanna play it anymore. I don't even know what the last co-op encore is, I played it at another friend's house instead.

Hard is a big step-up from medium, so you should make sure that you know the game well enough to go for it... :)

Bummer for you. The people I play with aren't the best, but they'll do. I'm not all that great, but I'm pretty damn good.

Also, the final encore is Monsters by Matchbook Romance. Yeah, it's a shame; everyone other song before it is really difficult. Then Neversoft has the balls to put something easy as the last encore. I'm very ashamed...

Also, new favorite song is Don't Hold Back. Pretty good chart, fun to play AND listen to.

In the song's defense it's not terrible and it's about on par with the difficulty progression of the other co-op songs (in my personal opinion, of course). Plus it has this weird zig-zag pattern near the end that's really difficult, although nothing to fail the song over. I had to use the unlock code to get it so I haven't played the bass line. Perhaps that redeems it.

So I finally signed up for Scorehero.
Have a look at all my scores if you want.

clicky!

Some of my best scores were from online matches (Anything with the comment "XBL PFO" was from an Xbox Live Pro FaceOff) since there's much more pressure to do well.

Hey i'll join, just got GH III bout 2 weeks ago, not playing too much cuz of school, got almost every song on medium done, every song on medium 5 stars except 3, and 2 other songs, not done yet. Working on hard in a while, I get 4 on some.

Speaking of rock band, does anyone know why its setlist is absolute crap?

Because they focused on songs that are more popular, or done by popular artists. plus some of the songs are on GH3. rock band's gonna be crap; don't buy it. it's not worth the $200. and good luck finding a friend who's willing to make an ass of themself for the singing :P.

Rock Band is the worst idea ever. You're marketing a game that involves group playing to a demographic that largely plays by itself, then adding in a bunch of songs that they probably hate? Destined to be a fad.

Some of my scores are well under 100 (I was 26th on FCPREMIX for a while) while others are above 600th. Shows which songs I play the most :P

I suppose I should go improve some of those scores and see where my rank really sits.

Meh, I kinda suck too. I'm not the best, but I'm decent, though. And, don't worry; I still can't even 4 four star the damn song. You're in good hands.

Well, in other news, I can pass Raining Blood more often. Of course, I'm sticking with Hard until I get five-stars on all those songs. I figure when I do that, I'll be able to take on the amped-up Expert in GH3.

I got about more than half the Hard setlist 5'ed, so I'm doing good for now...
