Anyone else here play GH3? I'd love to kill someone here in some kind of online guitar fighting match. If you have it, what platform? I fear if anyone does have it, they'd be on another platform.
I play them on a PC, but not online because it lags on my slow comp (missing half a second makes all the difference) and dial-up. Stuck in the middle of the Hard songs. GH3 has to be one of the most addictive games ever. Even got me going back to practicing on my guitar
I think GH has to be the only game that's much, much, much better on any console rather than a computer

Ugh. I liked the first two Guitar Heroes, but Neversoft made this one really annoying. I'm nowhere near the prodigy level this game expects of me. I managed to beat the first two on expert, but I surrendered on the 8th set (Metallica and Slayer) on HARD, and the 7th set on expert. I'd really hate for GH3 to be someone's first introduction to the franchise with that sort of difficulty curve.
Does anyone else feel like most of the songs are more mind-numbingly repetitive to play than the other installments? Plus, the (boss) battle mode feels more like a contest of who can cheap the other into failing first with unbalanced attacks than a real duel of skill.
Yeah, it does suddenly get a bit impossible for most people with Before I Forget and Raining Blood. I've only actually beaten Raining Blood a couple of times, and it's a shit song too so it's not exactly making me WANT to five-star it.
Battle mode is fucking stupid, yeah, especially the one for the last boss. Your opponent gets the first powerup, and then uses it when you're about to get your first one. The powerup is chosen randomly, so you basically need to keep restarting until it gets a powerup that doesn't completely disable you and stop you from getting yours. If you don't restart, it'll keep getting powerups and disabling you when you're about to get yours. Luck != Gameplay. Luck != Fun. Luck != Fucking necessary in a game about dexterity and skill.
Once it introduced the 4th color I gave up. I am pretty good with 3 colors though.
Reminds me of stepmania, and I'm WAAAAY better at that game, infact I'm probably one of the best.

Wow, didn't even know it was online. I only ever play offline version.
Edit: What the hell is a "marvelous" it's only "perfect" on mine. Yeah wow, he's good. 13th place. I went through his records, I'm not saying he is better than me, but he might be. I've got perfect scores on max 300/unlimited and legend. if that means anything to you. although he is better at paranoia survivor max than I am.

Marvelous is above a perfect, requires better timing. He actually plays with a pad sometimes though, so some of those scores might be his pad ones.

My version of stepmania doesn't have marvelous, I'm sure it's the exact same timing.
With a dance pad I am no good, fingers only.

you can turn marvelous's on, unless you have a really really old version. And marvelous isn't the same as a perfect. If you get all perfects and marvelous, then you get an AAA, if you get all marvelous, you get an AAAA. Not many get AAAA's on even beginner songs.
Nice job on the boss songs though, AAA's aren't easy to get either.

How can "marvelous" be above freaking "PERFECT"? I mean, it makes no sense!
