I do. I got a shitty Squier.

Squier isn't shitty. It's how you use it, not how you flaunt it.

Rock Band 2

Best setlist in a rhythm game ever. I don't think RB3 even can top it.

Why does it suck? Are the notecharts absurd like GH3?

archie4208 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 26, 2008, 01:23:04 AM »

Nah. Notecharts are sensible this time around. It feels like a cheap knockoff of Rock Band, though.

demi · « **Reply #13 on:** October 26, 2008, 01:25:09 AM »

Do you have it? Is the touch pad useful?

archie4208 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 26, 2008, 01:26:11 AM »

The touchpad is pretty useless IMO. You really can't tell when you are allowed to use it until you are halfway through the solo. I probably need to get used to it.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #15 on:** October 26, 2008, 01:32:50 AM »

From some of the videos I've seen, the notecharts vary from Good, to Awful, to Wtf?

Like in Lazy Eye, GH doesn't chart the very audible guitar solo
And in Ramblin' Man, GH completely ignores nearly half the notes.

archie4208 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 26, 2008, 01:37:20 AM »

Vocals SUCK ASS. I can gold star Today in Rock Band but I only get 71% in GHWT.

Also, there are these freestyle sections where you get points for sounding like a distinguished mentally-challenged monkey.

I'm gonna go on a limb and say every peripheral with GH works better than Rock Band's just from personal experience on how shitty RB's instruments were

Why is no-one making a drums set priced between the 50 quid ones and the 200 quid ones. I would love something soldily made for 100 quid that works with both games.

I don't know where you're getting your information from, but the new Strat is fantastic. Pretty much everyone that has used it agrees that it's great.

Strat v2 felt pretty good the 5 or so minutes I played it yesterday. Feels like what the original Strat should have been. I might pick it up in the future.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #28 on:** October 26, 2008, 10:06:16 AM »

Yeah, the new wireless Strat is pretty good. I'm glad I got it.

cool breeze · « **Reply #29 on:** October 26, 2008, 11:13:12 AM »

So the wireless start for the 360 is actually good? I need a new guitar and was planning on getting the world tour one, but I am more of a fan of the Rock Band 1 style guitar if only for the thin neck.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #30 on:** October 26, 2008, 11:34:55 AM »

Believe it or not Archie but I think both of our favorite albums, Doolittle, is what really propelled me to learn the art of the bass. I love Doolittle and my first goal was to be able to cover the whole album!

archie4208 · « **Reply #31 on:** October 26, 2008, 11:41:46 AM »

Ironically, I'm trying to learn Here Comes Your Man on the guitar.

Edit: Also, what kind of bass do you have? I'm thinking about buying one for my birthday. I need to look around the local music shops to see what they have.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #32 on:** October 26, 2008, 11:45:54 AM »

The Squier Bronco Bass. I love it. It's a shortscale though, so if you're looking into a bass i'd defintly reccomend a regular scale one.

I preferred the Les Paul to the original Strat, but I prefer the second Strat to both. It's my favourite toy guitar. They fixed everything that was wrong with the original and the new calibration tool is just gravy. I haven't tried the Generi-caster, but I'd definitely recommend picking up the Strat 2 if you need a new guitar.

cool breeze · « **Reply #34 on:** October 26, 2008, 01:59:36 PM »

I'll probably pick it up if it's ever cheap. I liked the old Les Paul more than the Strat, but I wasn't the biggest fan of either. I really just want one final plastic guitar so I don't need to buy them anymore. I'm happy with the old Rock Band drum set even if sometimes the drum pads don't register if I tap lightly, so no need to swap that.

Bebpo · « **Reply #35 on:** October 26, 2008, 02:07:00 PM »

So the GHWT drums don't work on RB1 or RB2 on the PS3.

Neversoft & Sony are fucking distinguished mentally-challenged.

I was at least going to rent the disc, but all this on top of the fact that it's still GH with the stupid loose timing window and horrible bubble notes makes it an instant skip all together.

Singing is more difficult than RB, but the problem is you have no feedback during the song to tell you how well you are doing. Your performance is a guessing game until the end of the song when you get your final %.

I like how instead of tightening the windows people had complaints with, they made them looser. I'm watching youtube videos and the notes are pretty much past the bar when they get hit. This will make doing annoying hammer on triplets easier, which I can appreciate. I like how the achievements are much better than 3s, but they are still gay nickle and diming ones.
