Pour Some Sugar On Me is so fucking excellent. Can't wait.
 
I bought this secondhand recently. I was an idiot and didn't look up the song list first and it has to be the worst track list of any guitar hero I have ever played. I just can't bear to play through the campaign anymore. All of the good songs are on the streaming channel, and I have to spend tokens to play them. Both the Satriani songs, Hangar 18, Lamb of God, Jerry was a Racecar Driver, all locked to that mode. Extremely disappointed.

At least the guitar seems like a step forward, despite being me being a doubter at first.

I guess if you missed the live channels and just played songs

Or maybe 3 tokens per day if you're empty isn't enough?
 
We’ve got three brand new GHTV shows available for you. One of them is themed around St. Patrick’s Day and the other two have a distinctly Austin flavour (presumably for SXSW, and not for the upcoming 3/16). Check out what’s coming below:

St. Patrick’s Day Party

Flogging Molly – Drunken Lullabies
Two Door Cinema Club – What You Know
Ash – Burn Baby Burn

Austin Rocks!

The Gills – Rubberband
Worriers – Most Space
Lyger – Stroke


Best of Austin

Puppy – The Great Beyond
Dilly Dally – Purple Rage
The Family Rain – What Are You Afraid Of?

In addition, we’ve got a bunch of songs being added to the on-demand catalogue.

Bon Jovi – Livin’ on a Prayer
Chevelle – Send the Pain Below
Deap Vally – Gonna Make My Own Money
Def Leppard – Pour Some Sugar on Me
Halestorm – Apocalyptic
Incubus – Megalomaniac
KISS – Crazy Crazy Nights
Marilyn Manson – mOBSCENE
St. Vincent – Birth in Reverse
 
Could've done a little better picking the best of Irish music, to be honest. Flogging Molly is obviously wonderful but the others are a bit eh.

Huh. Anti-Flag.

Having grown up in the early 80s I can appreciate that dose of hair metal tracks a few weeks ago or whatever it was. Those were some VIDEOS.

Rivals mode is fun, but it is not fair in terms of matchmaking. I was playing on advanced and got around an 89%, while the person I had as a rival was playing on beginner and got a perfect, but I still won. It's really unfortunate.

That makes sense.. you hit more notes total I am sure because of the difference in the charts

Yeah this game has always been unfair competitively speaking, since day one, for that exact reason. Once you bring power ups into it it can be even more skewed.

Desert Rising

BØRNS – Electric Love

Disappointing Of Monsters and Men pick. Dirty Paws would've been a lot more fun.

I'm just wondering, how has the support been for the game? I started thinking about this again when Harmonix did their non-announcement. I would have liked to see more fake concerts, but I'm assuming it's basically a skeleton crew maintaining the live portion of the game at this point.

Just bought this for $31 at Amazon. Anyone know how the service is doing? The GHTV stuff seems like a lot of fun and great way to have a ton of variety so hopefully those servers stay up for a while...

I got this for Xbox one at the weekend. There's a lot of content but not a lot of known songs.

Serious question:

Why am I so bad at this game? I used to love Guitar Hero, specifically GH3 I played a ton (I know I could do Through the Fire and Flames on either the second highest or highest difficulty). This was 2007 or so. I am 32 now -- is it because I'm older? It seems like no matter how much I play, I can't play well enough on anything above regular difficulty to get into it -- doesn't give me the same feeling when I'm slowly plucking through a few notes on regular.

Here are a few of my hypotheses:

-Too old, lost reflexes/ability to learn something new
-Muscle memory is already locked in for the old 4-button combo, can't shake it
-No longer playing on CRT TV (my TV is decent with 35ms input lag/all post processing turned off/game mode turned on to be sure I'm at 35ms)
-Perhaps GH Live just isn't as fun as the old games, so motivation isn't high enough to learn
 
It's basically just a new skill, kinda like asking why you can't play FIFA when you're so good at Call of Duty, or something.

You've just gotta practice and the muscle memory will come to you, at least enough to enjoy the game. It's way better than the 5-button guitar games when it clicks, like way better.

Mediamaekt has it for 20€ for PS4, with guitar. Should I get it? Is GHTV still running? Until when? I had GH3 and RB Beatles on PS3 and enjoyed them a lot.
