I want to but I was more into the drums and it isn't really feasible to play in an apartment. Also fuck calibrating to a new TV, I miss my CRT.

who /bladderofsteel/ here

>>388541854
this, just because it sounds cool doesn't mean the chord progressions arent easy as fuck, its like saying the guitar wanking on The Four Horsemen is hard because it sounds complex

>>388541971
Because it the section where the song first really picks up is indeed a lot harder on GH than irl
For example, I can do one and not the other

>>388541971
Guitar and bass raining blood is terrible easy, only drumming is quite hard.

If you want meme hard you should at least had picked some Megadeath song or One.

>>388541854

that spider crawl riff is pretty tricky to execute cleanly, you can bullshit your way through it like kerry king's been doing for years but it's hardly baby's first three chord folk song

I guess it's hard to keep up with tempo. If you're concerned about those double stops, I personally just use one finger to do them.

I never had a problem with fast cords like Before I Forget
But anything with double strumming like Misrilou or Knights of Cydonia would fuck me hard

>>388542372
if double strumming is a problem try moving it up and down on those parts, makes it much easier

>>388543362
Not denying that but my point is that for a game called "Legends of Rock" there are so many to choose from so it's really weird they picked Tom Morello. The guy is good, no question, just not a legend.

I loved GH2/3 as a teenager but after the series died I got into JP rhythm games and it's hard to go back to GH/RB/whatever other Harmonix piece of shit after that. The songs are fun but it's hard to take seriously since the accuracy windows are super chunky and the scoring system sucks, plus how strict they are with over-strumming is just annoying frankly. I still go back and play them every now and then for the setlist but I've been ruined to them.

Did people just get tired of rock band games in general? You never hear anyone talk about them and every time I go into a thrift store I'm tripping over piles of old Guitar Hero/Rock Band guitars.

>>388546001

>>388546001

>>388546101
>there is few songs that never got FC'ed.
Bullshit

>>388546001
The mainstream craze died, but that's all. The truth is the games being popular was because they were essentially video game karaoke. The fad died down for most and the actual fans of the genre turned out to be much smaller than what you could profit on while licensing 50+ mainstream pop music tracks. That's basically why the only rhythm games that exist now are Asian in origin where for whatever reason licenses don't murder you or they just write new music or hire musicians to make new music.

>>388543664
Souls of Black

>>388546101
Are they all the ones with the ridiculous tremolo picking sections that can't be FC'd due to the timing window?

Don't Miku's producers charge anything?

>>388546713
Yes, Miku songs are licensed.

The catch is that they don't try jew you hard like western record companies, overseas localization is the biggest issue tho.

>drum kit slides forward after using the kick pedal again

>>388546849
Nobody gives a shit about lyrics translations or whatever.

What I don't understand is how you can possibly license 200 songs worldwide and sell the product to like, what, 100k people?

>>388546934
It's not really about translation but licensing, Nips are a bitch to deal with song licensing.

Thats why a lot of games get different songs when they get localized.

>>388546934
There's probably a deal made since they're using the miku and friends vocaloids. Plus they're not these giant company backed producers.

>>388546934
Like I said for whatever reason licensing music in Nipland isn't murder on your profits. They make money only selling to Japan, that's how good it is. Bringing those songs to the west can be a huge pain sometimes, but even then it's not so expensive you'll go broke.

>>388546934
Most Vocaloid releases are done through doujin labels that charge very little for licensing.
As a result nearly every rhythm game at the moment has a bunch of Vocaloid in its songlist since it doesn't cost a whole bunch and is popular.

>>388547176
Exactly. And then Sega goes back to the producers and says "uh so what about a worldwide license" and they're like "ok i'll take 5000 yen and company lunch" or something.

>>388547427
Also you're talking about these game engines that effectively haven't been changed since 2009 so they're not even spending much development time on it, maybe a few new assets here or there but tons of shit reused to hell and back and animations and charting with charting being the actual time consuming thing. They cut a lot of corners where they can.

I always found rock bands HOPOs bullshit to hit and found them really difficult to tell them apart visually playing the song for the first time. GH always felt more fun to play and the charts were more fun too.

If they had just kept Rock Band 1 updated with new tracks, it would still be alive today.

You can have good rhythm and shit timing. A lot of songs have weird ass time signatures because they were made by jamming around. The rhythm is great but the timing changes.
In guitar hero you're not making music you're just following along and pressing buttons at the right time to match a prompt. That's timing.

I picked up a full RB4 set (2 guitars, drums, mic, and game) 2 years ago for £70 in an auction.
I've been playing it occasionally since.

>>388551728
Rock Band 3 already has all of that

>>388550407
You can import all 3 into the 4th as well.

>>388551728
>rock band 4 with keyboards

That would be great but I've read that they wont do that. Why wouldnt people want to play shit like this?

I mean, they used up most of their A and B Material songs in the other games/DLC.
Hell, they're even re-releasing songs from previous games as DLC.

>>388546153
>>388546473
The only official song that hasn't been FC'd on guitar yet between every rock band and guitar hero game + DLC is pulse of the maggots, as part of RB2's DLC.
there are also a handful of RBN songs not FC'd. but they're all electronic songs that have ridiculous noodle MIDI wankery that go like 30+ NPS

There is a song called the Sword though

Guitar Hero and Rock Band feel really easy compared to games like IIDX and DJ Max Trilogy. My friends act like I'm some sort of god when I play on the piano controller, but I can't be the only one that noticed that the high difficulty charts just spam the same chords at you over and over with no really variation or challenge in the notes.

>>388552506
I've played 4 and you can download any content from previous games that you've exported before it expired.
The only games you can export now are RB3, Blitz, and the Track Packs (since they came with track pack codes)

>>388541596
Deadfall gives me way more problems than I feel like it should. One of the only songs in any of the games that I've yet to 5 star

All the single note fast as fuck parts in songs was so easy on a x360 controller once you got the hang of it, but fuck chord spam songs

Played this recently. Couldn't even get through Calling by Strung Out without my hands cramping. Used to be able to feel no pain at all. Really surprised how much stamina is required for this fucking game and how rusty I was.

>>388552704
GH and RB are easier for sure but they do things to be as intentionally awkward as possible and are needlessly strict compared to Bemani games. Bemani charts are harder but don't punish you for hitting extra buttons, instead they just cause you to hit notes way early and fuck up your accuracy because the game is about accuracy. GH and RB are not about accuracy, they don't have precision scoring and their hit windows are wide as fuck, but they heavily punish over strumming and hitting extra notes and the scoring system is as such that streaks are more important than accuracy. You can be sloppy as fuck as long as you hit every note, then it doesn't matter. It's not about accuracy, it's about FC.

>>388553216
Well yeah they're going to add songs that kids and other people with shit taste in music might like not just dadrock and metal

>>388544243
because its not that more difficult, but the people who do it regard themselves as gods above mere humans who use a plectrum
and then they play absolutely everything fingerstyle and it just gets annoying

but the thing is fingrestyle sounds great for classical and jazz melody,
however most fingerstyle "heroes" only like to play folk gypsy stuff, or just end up doing some nonstop scale run improvisation

>>388541745
Are you fucking retarded, or just never touched a guitar? Kerry King is one of the biggest memes in the guitar world. He has contributed nothing of value.

>>388553216
harmonix doesn't have the money that they used to have, they can only afford to do a few popular songs that people are likely to buy for parties.

>>388553437
He's also the rhythm guitarist so I mean

We can all agree that GH 2 has the best soundtrack, right?

>inb4 someone says any rock band game

it is objective fact that playing a real guitar is harder than any guitar hero song ever

being able to reliably change between even basic chord shapes takes more skill and knowledge than any guitar simulation video game

I play guitar so it was never THAT interesting to me but this fucking DJ thing would've been amazing with better songs/mash ups. I'm sad it never took off. One drunk night I'm gonna dig out my 360 and the WHEEL OF STEEL and get into it again.

>>388553557
when has the opposite ever been implied unironically by someone who isn't legally retarded

>>388552704
Funny, GH and RB feel harder than real guitar, once you learn it just makes sense, while guitar games are just made up charts some guy farted out.

>but harmonix people are in bands

Yeah whatever.

>>388553548
GH2 soundtrack is great but the fact that they're almost all covers brings it down a lot. Rock Band 2 is probably the most solid set list between all of the games, followed by GH WoR.

>>388553652
several times in this thread people implying the guitar hero version of raining blood is harder than playing it on a real guitar

>>388553630
The songs were amazing though, fucking DJ Hero 1 had 10 Daft Punk mashups made by Daft Punk themselves, they had tons of great mixes done by world renowned DJs, it was an amazing game and an incredibly innovative gameplay style twisting the standard Bemani structure into one more about turn table control and accuracy and it worked very well. It didn't take off because the market had become so oversaturated that no one could or even wanted to keep up with it anymore.

>>388553518
Plus RB4 was self published with help from Mad Catz, not having the MTV/EA bucks behind them really shows.

>>388553672
>GH and RB feel harder than real guitar
There is no universe where this is true.
I had a friend who won GH championships and whatnot and not even that autistic fuck would claim that it was harder than real guitar.

>>388554004
i read the same replies and they're just implying it's not a hard song to play on real guitar. it IS hard to play on guitar hero, but it's in a different context. the hardest song to play on guitar hero doesn't even come close to intermediate difficulty songs on real guitar.

raining blood is like a 3/10 difficulty on real guitar, 9/10 on gh

>>388554217
>raining blood is like a 3/10 difficulty on real guitar

that's what custom creator's collective is for bruh

It's been a while since I had friends over my house to play anything. Without friends theres no fun in playing these games I'd rather learn to play the real deal.

>>388554217
>raining blood is like a 3/10 difficulty on real guitar, 9/10 on gh
Just stop a think for a second.
Give a kid a real guitar and a copy of GH and tell him to play that song. Which is he gonna learn to play first?

Raining Blood is no joke. "Slayer solos" are infamous for a reason.

>>388554004
haha
to a complete begginner to guitar raining blood may seem very hard
but to an experienced player, its very simple

the thing is, real life doesnt stop you if you get the timing out by a fifth of a second

I re-picked up guitar cause of these games back when they were new. Plenty of stuff ingame is way harder than the real deal and vice versa.

Stopped playing gh/RB around 2011 cause it doesn't help actual guitar skill at all and teaches bad habits. I now own 2 guitars and bought a bass this summer

Kinda. It is best for folks completely new to guitar, but it works ok I guess. I'm self taught and full of bad habits and technique so I never jived with it

I find it harder than real guitar because it's a video game where you have to hit specific buttons really fast at specific timings. It's the same reason I find Castlevania harder than guitar.

Yes, it was my new years resolution to learn the guitar so i started with rocksmith, one of the things that rocksmith fucks you with is the sounds are coming form the computer not your guitar, even if your fingering is shit it will sound good because you pressed the right strings. If you play the song on your own it will sound nothing like the game. >>388556569
this as well.

I ended up using this website and improved WAY more in a month then i did in 4 trying to memorize songs on rocksmith https://www.justinguitar.com, REALLY good free resource in case you are asking because you want to try and learn.

>>388556896
I'm doubtful. For vidya buy a guitar and Rocksmith and make your fingers bleed.

and Castlevania is hard but you can beat that game in 6 hours easy.

going through and modding my setlist really shows how gh3 is capable of handling outside changes to the code and filesystem. The ui doesn't fuck up when you have like 3x the normal amount of songs. Blank songs don't get displayed in the setlists. The game doesn't fuck up animations when trying to load nonexistant lyric files. If you have rumble enabled and flip starpower the crowd clapping and controller rumbling still syncs up to the beat.

it's almost as if they intended to make the game accessible to midders

So was it South Park that killed the Guitar Hero fad?

I remember GH3 being my favorite, probably because it was my first. Couldn't get into the other ones. I did wanted to play the one in the 80s though. I HATED the DS one.

it's almost universal that GH3 is the best one so you've done well

>>388559109

>>388561627
nigger GH/RB went on for 3-4 years after that South Park episode came out.
everyone claims oversaturation on Activision's part, which isn't completely wrong, but honestly the games just ran their course. it's not like they could have changed the gameplay in any significant way, so all they could have done with the series was add more DLC.

>>388543201
I occasionally still play it with a couple buddies. One of them has a bunch of downloaded songs he picked up over the years though. I can't really imagine playing just what's on the disc.

>>388553079
>mfw forced into becoming a decent singer because of it

>>388561841
Yeah. I remember every song in GH3.
Couldn't get into GH2 though. I was mostly waiting for "Sweet Child O Mine". Same thing with the DS one. I think it had Smash Mouth though.

>>388553548
It's the first one for me.

>>388553548
GH2 > Metallica > 5 > 3 > WT > 1 > 80s > WoR >>>> Smash Hits which sucked because they didn't include half of the songs from 2 that they should have and instead only included songs from 3 that were only good on Guitar in the first place

the rest don't matter

The only reason I still keep hold of my 360 is for GH2
I have it on the PS2 as well (and the SG is much better than the xplorer, come at me fags) but that version is missing a few tracks

>>388562096
But they did change the gameplay significantly. The rest of the game is shit unfortunately, so bland and sterile compared to the originals.
