Title: Guitar Hero 80s is made of fail and lose
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on July 23, 2007, 12:53:11 AM: I just played through the first three tiers. I have hit every song I wanted to play (or even know) and am going to stop now. I am never going to go back to it.

No alternate costumes, no secret characters, same venues, same guitar unlockables, only 30 career songs, no unlockable songs...bleh. But most most important, the music's pretty lame and it's $50.

If you are on the fence for whatever reason: you should pass.

Post by: Shuri on July 23, 2007, 08:27:44 AM: fucking harmonix, there's a least 60% of those songs that I can't remember. They need to stop listening to those guitar nerds

Title: Re: Guitar Hero 80s is made of fail and lose
Post by: Robo on July 23, 2007, 10:24:04 AM: Were any of the songs you played moderately difficult, at least?

And yeah, Dio = sale.

Post by: TVC15 on July 23, 2007, 01:40:08 PM: Police Truck and Los Angeles, Patel! There's 2 more songs worth playing for.
Title: Re: Guitar Hero 80s is made of fail and lose
Post by: Bloodwake on July 23, 2007, 04:13:50 PM: I was going to pick up the 360 version, so I think I will wait for the inevitable downloadable content release.

SOME LOGIC YOU GOT GOING THERE U FAGOT XBOT

wait a tic

it's not coming to 360

Post by: Robo on July 23, 2007, 05:31:40 PM: As slow as they've been with the GH DLC, you'll be waiting a long fucking time to get it, I bet.
Title: Re: Guitar Hero 80s is made of fail and lose
Post by: Bloodwake on July 23, 2007, 05:31:45 PM: Let me clarify:I'm going to purchase the 360 of Guitar Hero II, mainly because it has the extra songs and because the PS3 doesn't support legacy PS2 controllers (yet).

I will wait for the inevitable release of Rocks the 80's in downloadable content form.

As for the Xbot comment, I just call them like I see them. I still enjoy my 360, but I'm not going to sugarcoat the fucking system whenever it's torn up twice and Microsoft tries to screw consumers out of the warranties they promise their customers.
Title: Re: Guitar Hero 80s is made of fail and lose
Post by: MrAngryFace on July 23, 2007, 05:33:38 PM: iirc there's two groups publishing GH shit, i dunno if Rock the 80s is coming from the same group as GHII.
Title: Re: Guitar Hero 80s is made of fail and lose
Post by: AdmiralViscen on July 23, 2007, 05:38:07 PM: Only one group is publishing GH, two groups are developing it.

Rock the 80s was the last GH stuff to be done by Harmonix, everything after this is done by the Tony Hawk dudes.
Title: Re: Guitar Hero 80s is made of fail and lose
Post by: MrAngryFace on July 23, 2007, 05:57:26 PM: Ah so it could still see 360 regardless, cool. I wish they'd do some more current or famous songs on the later releases, it makes DLC on X360 for GHII kinda russian roulette.
Title: Re: Guitar Hero 80s is made of fail and lose
Post by: disgruntled_jojo on July 23, 2007, 10:06:20 PM: I've put some more time into it. Basically worth a purchase when it hits used bins for $20. Not before.
Title: Re: Guitar Hero 80s is made of fail and lose
Post by: Robo on July 24, 2007, 12:57:37 PM: Apparently Best Buy has it this week for $40, taking out some of the sting. I'm gonna run out in a few minutes and confirm.
Title: Re: Guitar Hero 80s is made of fail and lose
Post by: Robo on July 24, 2007, 01:52:32 PM: Okay, they had it, but I told them to charge me $60 and I bought three of them. Suck it, Patel.
Title: Re: Guitar Hero 80s is made of fail and lose
Post by: MrAngryFace on July 24, 2007, 01:56:06 PM: Im gonna have them charge me 70 each of my four copies, then give them a couple back that they can sell again as new.
Title: Re: Guitar Hero 80s is made of fail and lose
Post by: Robo on July 24, 2007, 07:38:04 PM: This shit isn't even tolerable for me on regular speed. Hypermode or nothing. :-\

On the other hand, Holy Diver is fuck awesome :bow :bow I'm gonna run out and buy 4 more copies.
Title: Re: Guitar Hero 80s is made of fail and lose
Post by: MrAngryFace on July 24, 2007, 08:02:06 PM: I got my 6 copies

Fuck this piece of shit.
Title: Re: Guitar Hero 80s is made of fail and lose
Post by: FatalT on July 24, 2007, 10:07:29 PM: My brother bought this with the Best Buy gift card thing. It's pretty neat I guess. I wouldn't buy it, though.
