Guitar Hero: World Tour Platform Official Thread

You guys haven't been in the Rock Band thread regularly, have you? Aww, you've missed out on the joys of our little music game community! We're cross-game compatible, you know. After Microsoft and Sony forced cross-compatible, we now have the ability to take our non-sequitur ramblings from the RB thread to the GH one right across to Rock Revolution!

Raw tomato is an abomination. Everywhere. Period.
Fresh tomato off the vine in southern Italy is incredible. If you have already been there and eaten them and still hold that opinion, I feel sorry for your taste buds.

On topic, I'm really hoping there is some Tool DLC coming. Parabola is awesome... but Schism and Vicarious? Needs more Aenima.
 
Yeah I'm sure I'll end up buying Metallica (but not Aerosmith or ACDC).

Also, on topic, I don't drink any hot drink. Tea is a British love I don't share.

:lol

What about hot chocolate? Soup? Or is soup a food and not a drink? I'm calling it a drink since one drinks it...

I still believe it should all be merged into one mess. Our conversations spill over more often than not.

I don't consume warm liquids. This includes soup.

I think it'll clean up a bit when there's actually a game to discuss. Though when I responded to Dave about tea I actually thought I was in the RB thread for a second.

What about chili or stew?

I think it's a bit like sexuality. You can tell me that sex in a manner that runs counter to my interests is fabulous and I can see how you'd like that and how a person could certainly enjoy it, and I hope you get a lot of it in, but it's just not gonna do anything for me. I just don't care for it.
 
okay i'm gonna ignore most of what you lot said and just pick up on the important stuff, that's actually relevant to the thread?

Tomatoes with burgers are FINE. Especially raw ones.

How anyone can not like Tea is beyond my comprehension. I know several British people who don't like Tea, which I simply refuse to accept. I have 6 variations of Tea in my cupboard at the moment, and 3 of Coffee.

Guitar Hero: Metallica will be amazing, totally day 1 for me. Shame I didn't postpone my current Metallica binge until then, but oh well. AC/DC Live: Rock Band will be great too. But back on topic...

Yesterday I had a really nice hot chocolate at Costa Coffee, had whipped cream, marshmallows and everythink.
 
TheGreatDave said:
If there is a solid there as well it's OK. It's just solo liquids. Anything that would require a spoon.

So a soup with bits in is fine too? How far is too far? Chicken noodle? Tomato rice? Gumbo?

Even if it has nothing but tracks from St. Anger?

For me it's just looking at the past songs and finding that while I like them as songs I'm just not capable of playing them without my hand hurting and barely getting through some of them. Having that kind of brutal punishment isn't fun for me. I worry this will be a significant problem with it. That plus anything post-Black Album.

WTF happened to this thread .. Some people should be banned

I kept scrolling waiting for the complaints to roll in, and you didn't disappoint. Get used to the off-topic, this thread belongs to them now. It's better that way.
 
The best swag I've ever got was that one company sent a few packets of English Breakfast tea with the product. Sure, I've got stuff that's bigger/more expensive, but it was the most awesome.

I'm hoping there's some good bargains with the disc only World Tour. I'm potentially swayed, and will be playing it at Stuff Live this half term... they say there'll be prizes! I like those.

oooh that's my Birthday weekend, shame my parents are visiting. I'm also going to the London Games Festival the week before so going to london twice in a week just to play games might be excessive, especially as Guitar Hero will be out a week later anyway :P

a coffee maker ive never used
and 2 boxes of different cocoa stuff that hasnt been opened

i do eat soup though
and curry
everyone loves curry

It's quite a let down that neither RB2 or GHWT are at Eurogamer Expo... ah well, I'll be there anyway.

Metallica know very well which tracks their fans like. They acknowledge live on stage that people don't like St Anger :P So i doubt they'd put much in there.

For me, brutal punishment is why I play Guitar Hero :P Though Metallica songs shouldn't be much of a problem. They really should just put songs from ...And Justice For All, Ride The Lightning, The Black Album, Death Magnetic on there. And The Four Horsemen of course.

Normally my tastes seem to go the other way from ya'll (I love stuff everyone hates, usually; I like most everything). But, man o man, I hate that album.
and, hey man, I like post-black album metallica

Well, there's a Guitar Hero competition on the 29th as part of LGF, but it's on stage and stuff, and I don't really fancy blinding an audience with my incredible skill. I'll be at EuroGamer on the 29th \o/

it's all the same people, for the most part, in those threads. might as well have one gigantic music/band game thread.

I don't believe it, I think you just try to shock us all with your crazy opinions.

Soup is amazing, my personal favorites:
-Tom kha with tofu and mushroom
-Burmese samosa soup
-New England clam chowder (back when I could eat it) with some nice hexagonal oyster crackers

I think I'll throw together a thread for it on here, would be good to meet up with anyone. I'm possibly at Eurogamer both days - press pass, might be there the Wednesday, depends on transport/how much I get done on Tues.

I'm curious why you included Death Magnetic (maybe I just need to hear more, but I haven't heard anything from it that really blew my skirt up... it's closer to their old stuff, but still not good enough for me), but not Master of Puppets? Also I still want "Seek and Destroy".
 
Belgand said:

Lets do it on a case by case basis. But for the most part, I just don't like something that is primarily liquid, full stop. I'm also picky about getting textures I don't expect in my food, which is why I don't like sauces having bits of anything in them. I blend that shit up. I'm a picky eater, in the worst way. It's not a matter of quality, but not offending standards I've had for years.
 
It will soon become apparent that these threads are just here to determine the regular's food preferences... with sinister results.

Yeh go for it.
I'll be there on the weds with a couple of friends, will have press passes too. Unfortunately we can't spare the time to go on Tues as well, but 3 people covering should be ok. I'm half going for fun, playing games and taking photos, but should do some work as well i suppose >_>

All Nightmare Long, Cyanide and The Day That Never Comes are exceptional tracks. I'm not a fan of Master of Puppets personally. At least not yet.

Those are the two that I've heard and neither does anything for me at all.

it's alot closer to their albums stuff than their new albums
heck, the intro to The Day That Never Ends sounds nearly identical to the intro of Fade to Black.

Then I'm afraid I <an't help you.

God dammit, my keyboard is playing up again. Basially the 4 keys to the left of B stop working. As does 'enter' but thankfully i has two of those. Stupid keyboard, time to buy a new one, and some new ram, and a digital ersatile disk drie that works.

Umm, I didn't like any of the album at all to start with, thought <yanide su<ked tbh, then I bothered stealing the album and giing it a fair listen. I'd pay for it but the quality is shit and doesn't desere my money.
 
I think the album is pretty good in general. There's some great tracks on there, even though it's probably a bit too long for it's own good.
 
The tracklist is pretty weak,less than 10 songs I'd like to play
Rockband 2's isn't too great either,mrhrhhhhhhhhhrhrhrhhhhhhhh

Confession time: the "h" on my laptop keyboard fell off, and I put it back on but eventually it broke altogether. Then I started just pressing the plastic ring, but that quickly stopped working as well.
Now "h" for me is Ctrl - v and for "H" I have to find it somewhere and copy it, and then copy a lowercase h again for later. I even wrote all my final papers in law school like this (I used a USB keyboard for exams). I also get screwed up if I ever copy and paste something else, it's such a natural thing for me now that I'll be typing away, try to paste an "h" and accidentally paste some random url or paragraph of text. Now I sometimes get screwed up on working keyboards because I'm so used to it.
Also, I have an older laptop that works fine and is actually more powerful than this one but I don't use it because it's smaller and sometimes makes my hand cramp up.

That is quite insane.

Exactly how I feel, there's a couple tracks that are terrible. All Nightmare Long is the best track IMO. Also "The Day That Never Comes", "Broken Beat & Scarred" and "My Apocalypse" are very good. If we truly can buy the tracks separately I will download these.
 
I'd put that letter ne><t to U and W in the alphabet on my <lipboard. But then <trl + \/ wouldn't work and <licking is too much effort so i'll just use \/ and other such amusing replacements until it starts working again.

so which one has the better hardware? rockband 2 or this? this will be my first entry to the series..... and i plan to buy both.

That is a tough, subjective question really. It's really hard to state which is better. Especially if you're going to buy both as there are distinct issues of the drums being compatible, but maybe not always working perfectly with each other, i.e. you'll have an extra note track with the Guitar Hero drums in that game, but it'll be shifted around if you use the Rock Band drums; if you use the GH drums in RB you'll have some awkwardness in how things are charted compared to how the drum set is laid out. The guitars also have different opinions from different people. This is made even worse since GH:WT isn't widely available yet so we don't have as much in the way of solid opinions.

Microphones are basically identical.

I'd suggest that you try each out if you can find local demo stations in your area or have friends with the games. Don't just try Rock Band 1 as the guitar and drums have been improved since then.
 
Seeing as the Rock Band 2 Strat is essentially the same as the first (strum bar wise) based on the posts in that thread, I'm probably just going to get the 99.99 Guitar bundle for this and use that + my Xplorer for this and Rock Band 2, with Rock Band being my main platform.
 
I don't know if it's technically possible, but it would be great if the ION drum rocker added an orange cymbal accessory. If they did that I'd probably buy it.

Right, but a line must be drawn at Singstar, Wii Music, and Lips.
Oh yes. All all-purpose karaoke-only thread would be fine, too, but those are console specific, too, so invariably console wars would come into play.
