Fall of Troy....

FINALLY! I've been waiting soo long for one of the two games to release a track pack for them. I'm so glad that GH5 did it first.

Ummm, Samuel? Are you seriously complaining about old Halo DLC that's free? Do you even know why it was released?

The song was recorded by Steve Vai somewhere along the Halo 2 period. When people started hacking GH2 and putting this song, everyone went nuts for it. People thought the song was cool, and when they heard that it might come out for GH2, people got excited. It didn't make it in time for GH2, but then Bungie and Activision teamed up and they released it on GH3 instead. The idea behind the song isn't dumb at all. In fact, not putting the song up would've been the dumb idea. Not only that, but it was free, and fun to play.

I mean, it's certainly a better idea than SELLING The Naked Brothers Band music on RB, or Miranda Cosgrove for OMGFREEWTFHAX. They aren't even rock.

I can't argue on who sells better DLC, and nor should you, or anybody else, since not everybody has the same taste in music.

I love this game to death, but I can't enjoy Wi-Fi on Brawl at all. It always lags, and the lag completely kills the competitive aspect to Brawl. The game plays slower and the button commands never register. And that's with a good connection.

Aren't most of these improvements that Guitar Hero already have? I thought people liked the strict timing window of HO's and PO's. Especially on chords. Velocity sensitive drum support isn't new.

OMG ROCK BAND IS STEELIN' GH IDEAZ SOEM1 CALL T3H COPZ

Beatles competes with Aerosmith for the easiest rhythm game. Although I like the Beatles, and I love listening to their music (especially Come Together), if I'm just gonna fly through the game with no challenge, then I might as well have somebody lend it to me for a couple of hours. This guy FC'd the entire game in one sitting. I know not everyone can play expert, but for those who do, this game is stale.

Singing will probably be a challenge, but I'm no singer, so this isn't for me.

BTW, Beatles and Metallica are completely different genres, and appeal to different people. They aren't better than each other. It's okay for them to co-exist.

We won't know until the 9th. According to my friend, I am the Walrus, Get Back, and The End are the funnest songs.

Rent first?

My bad. 27 sightreads. Read the description on the video.

And in the end of the day, all that will matter is how fun the game is. I already heard that a guy got 100% FC on all the songs in the disc, and did 28 of them in a sightread. Sounds waaay too easy for me, and it's not worth my money.

That says a lot because I love the Beatles.

Has anybody here actually played GH5? I got it and I'm already in love with it. People here are still stuck with the same tired argument of DLC vs. Discs, but what nobody really understands is that both have their pros and cons.

DLC excels in machines that are connected to the Internet. If I'm playing on an XBOX in my room connected to live, everything is perfectly fine. However, if I'm using a different hard drive/xbox combination, I most likely have to be connected to the internet to use the songs.

With discs, although you buy everything in $60 bundles, you can use all the songs on the disc offline and online. Releasing numerous games instead of a lot of DLC means you can play a lot more songs offline than online.

Shifting my point towards GH5 now.

I didn't follow up on any other news other than the track list until two days ago. My bro bought the game today, and I'm impressed with how amazing the game turned out to be. I've been reading some reviews on the game and a lot of them say pretty interesting things about the game and Neversoft. I picked some examples of quotes that called my attention:

Planet XBOX 360:
"Many people thought Guitar Hero 5 was going to be just another set of songs, after spending hours with the retail build we found out that the exact opposite was true – this game will hit fans with a totally fresh experience, one that is worth every penny of the upgrade cost."

"It sounds crazy to say but we were so impressed with our time with Guitar Hero 5 that we can honestly say it will be giving The Beatles: Rock Band and DJ Hero a run for it’s money in the “best music game of 2009” category. We didn’t expect nearly as many new features or gameplay upgrades/additions that the developers over at Neversoft included and more then once we found ourselves saying the word “wow” out loud while reviewing the game."

IGN:
"Neversoft really did go all out making sure that the presentation for Guitar Hero 5 is top notch. It's received such an upgrade that it's easy to overlook the small gameplay tweaks."

Gametrend:
"It is clear that the folks at Neversoft listened intently to the feedback we gave them. They've read the forums, and they've made the changes that we all wanted to see."

Maybe you guys should try playing the game with an open mind before bashing it without giving it a chance. They're trying to make changes to your liking, but it's no use if you guys keep on setting it off without even trying it.

This better not get down voted just because it's Pro-GH. It's not only my opinion i'm stating, and it took a lot of reading and compiling to make.

Was Expert+ not new?

Were the purple notes not new?

How about how you can hold notes and strum different ones at the same time?

Now we have the Party play option in which we can play with whatever combination of instruments we want, instead of having someone settle for vocals, or drums, or bass.

AND they are giving away GH: Van Halen if you pre-order. That's 30+ free songs, buddy!

What did RB do? Last notable thing they ever did was introduce the Drums and Vocals, and that was the first thing they did. For RB2, there was no revolutionary jump. I mean you could transfer all your RB1 crap to RB2, but you could do that with your Death Magnetic album, and now all your WT crap. Rock Band raised the bar when it first came out, but since then, it hasn't moved much, compared to Guitar Hero, who has been introducing new features in every game.

Nice trolling there, buddy.
