The major reason I'm buying this game is for Kyuss "Demon Cleaner." I will stay for the Slayer, and will probably fart around with the Metallica songs, but I wish Activision could save me the $60 and DLC the Kyuss and Slayer songs. Maybe the new guitar (if there is one, but I don't see why they wouldn't make a Metallica-specific guitar) will be amazing.

How I would fix the touch pad: an icon on screen pops up where your finger is, kind of like a mouse on a computer screen. That would fix the whole "where the hell am I?" while you're playing.

Doesn't it already kinda do that in slide sections? A fret lights up from top to bottom when you're holding it down on the touch pad. Describe in more detail your idea!
How I would improve the touch pad: put some dots on it or summit, right?
Also: That song I said on the last page that's all foreign; buy it cos it's fun.
Well the Logitech $250 guitar has a noticeable concave on the yellow slide fret to help out. I think that the above idea was when you use the slider to put something on the screen kind of like this:
And it would then put a little dot somewhere to indicate where the finger pressure is, letting know know if you're close to a different fret or not.
Code:

That's a good idea!
Anybody have any issues with the strum bar on their WT guitar.
I got GH:WT for PS3 for Christmas and now after 1 week of regular playing (10-15hrs), the downwards strum isn't registering all the time.
Either it doesn't register at all or does 2 strums together. If you really hit the strum bar it will register. The upward stroke works fine either with light or strong touch.
I'm going to return it to store on Friday to get a replacement. Is it likey to happen again or was i just on the unlucky ones I see from reading up on this issue?

yeah, what he said.Tenks said:
I just noticed something intersting from Lar's interview
Why would MS care? Isn't this more an ESRB thing? The only -- and only -- thing I can think of is it it were to pass via XBL which would indicate, to me at least, that GH:M may in fact include an export feature.
Or its just future Slayer DLC

I never said I was selling Guitar Hero, far from it. I still have GH2, GH3, both with guitars, and now have WT. I ain't selling any of it.
However.
I am fed up of being sold the same shit over and over again. I have DLC for GH2 and 3 which is effectively worthless now, there is no reason why it could not have been brought over to WT in Guitar-only.
With Metallica, it looks like Activision are pulling the same shit again.
I want one game, with a ton of songs. That's it. I want to buy new songs, I really do, but I don't want to have to have 35 different discs floating around, many of which my friends don't even have anymore so we can't play online.
I think the Rock Band model makes just too much sense; you buy one game, you get all the songs you want and keep them forever.
I will, however, always be a Guitar Hero man.

I phrased it more aggressively than I intended 
it's not that I don't see the appeal of disc exports and such, I just can't imagine making a purchasing decision based on it. If my WT DLC doesn't carry over to the next un-themed GH I will be really pissed though.
That said, given the pretty insignificant reason for me not buying RB2 I'm not one to talk.

Alright, I'm giving GH:WT a second chance doing only career guitar.
I think the main issue with my gripes of the past is that the game/TV were never synched up to feel just right and I was playing HyperGuitar2 where HyperGuitar1 feels better. I have resolved these issues. Since then the game is actually pretty decent. The tracklist still sucks ass in large quantities and the charts are still as overcharted as always and chord changes are needlessly awkward but overall the game isn't that bad.
Mr. Crowley may actual be one of my favorite guitar charts between RB1/2/WT (there are still some in 3 I prefer to it)
With that said. If they would simply make it so the gems shattered or give better visual feedback when you hit a note the game would be alot better guitar wise. I'm happy I actually managed to play the game and enjoy it finally because I really wanted to like GH:M just for the tracklist alone.
May get Death Magnetic.

The game isn't pvercharted at all. I feel it's undercharted if anything, and too giving when it comes to HOPO length.

Have they ever hit with an update that lets you play the PS2 GH , GH2 and Rt80s on the PS3?

It's not the timing window I have an issue with, it's the charts themselves. The actual length of hammer on sections is un-natural, something Harmonix have been doing a better job of since RB2.

Dude, I always used to hate your name in GH3 because it was inevitably higher than me in every song, now you're only getting **** In La Bamba?! You used to be cool!
I certainly don't feel the game as a whole is overcharted. The reason I still play WT all the time is because I think they've got a good balance between GH3 and Harmonix style. Obviously not every chart is perfect though.

Oh I have definitely gotten better but if you want to see me be absolutely terrible just throw in some chord changes and im AWFUL. My friends love to ridicule me because of it too. Give me some Through the fire and Flames and ill beat them in PFO's no problem, but Master Exploder or La Bamba and im boned. It's the same when you used to play me on Hier Kommt Alex.
The game as a whole definitely isnt overcharted, but they have some sections in there that definitely dont make any sense.

For some reason I can do chordy songs quite easily in RB but I have issues with some of the chord changes in GH:WT. GH:WT is, by far, a harder game than RB when it comes to guitar and I don't think anyone will argue this. But some of the chord transitions in GH:WT just feel overly awkward and complicated to the point of not being fun.
I'm looking at Soul Doubt and La Bamba.
I think I'll love GH:M though. I'll probably live in that thread for a while but the entire GH:WT setlist does very little for me. Regardless of how fun a note chart is if the song pisses me off then I won't play it.

I'm on my second WT guitar and it is doing the exact same thing. The first guitar lasted about 10 hours before missing downward-strums, the second lasted all of 4-5 hours before starting to fail. At the time, I was new to these games and I played on easy... so it certainly wasn't getting a workout. :/
I've read of several others having this issue also. Good luck getting it replaced. I gave up on it and stuck with an Xplorer. Circuit City has Les Pauls on sale for $20. I've been pretty lucky with that model.

Weird, I got both GHIII and GHWT for Christmas. So far, the WT guitar is fantastic, but my Les Paul from III is already messed up after just one week. It's not holding long notes unless I push the strum bar down and hold it, if I actually 'strum' it cuts the not off as soon as it bounces back to center. One week old. Pisses me off.
megashock5 said:
My WT Guitar was fine for the first few weeks and than all of a sudden started missing downstrums.
My Les Paul ain't perfect either. It's a first generation Les Paul with the loose neck connection so I have buttons that may or may not work correctly even with the paper mod.

Mine would occasionally register two beats on upstrums. A poster on another forum recommended doing hard and/or fast alt-strumming for 3-5 minutes and it resolved itself. People having strum issues may want to try this before returning it.Magik said:
Papercuts said:
My advice is to start by playing Bass on Medium or Hard and alt-strum every single note even if its just single notes. That should give you a good understanding of how to alt-strum so you can transition to Guitar where you will have to deal with alt-strum chords and gallops.
Practice makes perfect.
