How's the game play compared to GH? :)

Pants. Not as challenging, very repetitive and boring! Expert on this, is slightly easier than hard on GH3 id say.
More than anything, the song 'design' is pretty poor. Its just chord chord chord chord, lower chord chord chord chord, upper chord chord chord chord. Etc.

Hoping i find some drums on saturday (got work tomorrow :() and thatll make it fun.
 
Bloody ace game, I was in fits of laughter when my friend was trying to sing a french song.
 
I've just reserved a set of drums at my local doggy music store and whilst i was on the phone to them I asked if they could check the serial number underneath the drums, specifically looking for the EL or QM etc. The lady on the phone said she looked everywhere and couldn't find anything with letters in it only numbers. This seems different to the US drums.

Does this mean we are getting a new revision of the drum kit????

Oh and I bought some of the DLC last night in readiness for tonight. 3 QoTSA songs Sick, Sick, Sick, 3's & 7's and Little Sister and Saints of Los Angeles by Motley Crue.

Need some more points now though cos I want the Metallica pack and Shockwave.

I have played through all expert on guitar now and easily finished every song up till the last tier, managed to finish number of the beast (the one everyone says is the hardest) but the other songs are just stupid, i am sure i will get the hang of them but there is no real structure to what you are playing, it is just like hitting buttons in a random difficult order

Yeah that was my beef really, the note presses dont really tie up with the song as well as GH, you just dont feel it as much. If that makes sense.

Thats why as a guitar solus I think it's money down the pan. I suppose it's their first go and can only get better with the DLC.

I've all but given up on the guitar, I will just finish the career and then forget all about it. The only time I will guitar the songs is when someone else wants to try the drums.

It's not their first go, they made Guitar Hero 1 and 2.

Geez really, well they sucked bottom with their third go on the guitar :D

I've always said I wanted GH to be easier as hard was pretty out of reach for an average player like myself.

I take that back I was wrong, those levels should be there for the top tiers of players. Some challenge to the game.

All they should add is more achievements for the majority to aim for and leave the last 200/250 for the very best players. Instead of a GH situation where 800 are for the best players.
 
A bit dissapointed to hear about the guitar not really "syncing" with the songs like GH3 did as like Danny says, you don't feel it as much when playing.

Never the less the GF picked up a copy this morning and I'm looking forward to playing it, downloaded a couple of songs already. Will hopefully get the drums later on.
 
Just got back from the retial park with my copy. £150 for the lot from the music store. Going to get it set up now and have a bash!
 
Quick post, I normally just lurk these forums :)

My BiaB arrived earlier, I have the QM drums it seems which is a bonus :) Nice rubber pads, not too loud when i hit them ALTHOUGH the game hasn't actually arrived yet.

I have played the game before though, and I'll just say I am shocked at the people in this thread that think:

a) its awful
b) gh3 was good

I mean, fair enough A) is opinion but really you can't be basing that on all the tracks? Yes there's a lot that aren't that fun but its more because of track selection then the way the charts are noted. Remember its a band game so they couldnt really stick in awesome guitar rift songs if the drums and bass were rubbish on them. It's a balance between all the elements. Some songs are awesome on guitar (welcome home is my fave, the last tier and final track have good guitar tracks in) where as others are awesome on drums etc etc

But seriously, gh3 is appaling and nowhere near as good as 2 was :/ Its good if you enjoy mashing buttons randomly but i don't :)
 
well just got back from town and literally no shop has the drum pad covers in stock, and most of the staff were a bit 'wtf' about it.

great.

I thought they were only on sale in the US, made by independant 3rd parties? I didn't realise you could buy any here.....

There aren't any on sale in the UK yet, they have released official Rock Band pads in the US and should be on sale here soon apparently.
 
Right mine just came through the serial number of the guitar ends in ELUK and the drums QMUK, they feel like rubber tops to the drums?

I hope so, whilst it wouldn't bother me making noise with the drums, it would annoy the missus.


dannyjo22

What sound do they make when you hit them, loud or not?

Not loud at all really, light tapping as expected really.

I unwrapped it like a 5 year old at xmas.

Not gonna keep the guitar, offers nothing new might as well sell it and keep what I have.
 
damn my impulsiveness, went out and picked up the whole kit for £150, actually i went to a supermarket store who were doing it for £160 as the err doggy store was doing it for retail, brought that, went back to the doggy store to check and they were doing a "deal" for £150, doh!

could've got it for less than £130 if i was a bit more patient, but hey, its the bank holiday weekend! :)

edit: the serial on my drums are ELUK and the tops feel rubbery.

I am well annoyed, all the instruments have arrived for our 360 at work but the game hasn't come. I might send someone out with the company CC to buy it from somewhere else, I need my Rock Band fix this lunchtime.
 
Simply awesome, the drums are out of this world. Better than I could possible hope. Gonna rattle through guitar career on medium and forget it even has it til people come round.

Drums wont come easy but I wish I couldve seen my own face, I couldn't stop smiling.
