Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock - 8/21 Dragonforce Track Pack

[quote name='doctorfaustus']I'm guessing he's referring to one of the outfits for Axl (I think that's his name) that is reminiscent of Darrel's style/facial hair.[/QUOTE]

Yep, and in the 'tribute' PC wallpaper that they used to promote the game.
 
[quote name='xl_prankster_lx']This is why I hate the masses. I bet that cold play DLC will sell. People have been asking for that kind of bullshit, and now they are getting it.[/quote]
You're right, they really should focus more on your tastes and preferences.
 
[quote name='defiance_17']You're right, they really should focus more on your tastes and preferences.[/QUOTE]

He is probably thinking, the same as i am thinking, is that they should focus more on ROCK songs/bands with at least 1 fucking GUITAR solo. ya know? Songs that are in the game because they are awesome shredding and fun to play, not songs that are only in the game because a band is releasing a new cd soon and they want more exposure. Or because its a trendy pop song that everyone likes, even though in GH its slow and fucking sucks.

I dont care who they put in the game. From the most popular mainstream emo country hardcore punk hip hop fucking techno. I dont give a shit if its some band that i've never heard of either. As long as its fun to play.

Ernten was vier sein or however you spell it is from a fucking german band. Ive never in my life listened to a german band except (du hast rammstein) but its fun as hell to play and now that shit is awesome to listen to. They need to put in songs that are fun to play, not just crowd pleasing songs that arent fun, even though they probably make more money.

Then don't download it. Problem solved. I don't see the reason to complain--it's not like they're releasing that instead of some obscure metal track. I understand the blue-balled feeling here, but really, it's going to be Coldplay in place of nothing.
At this point I think everyone just needs to assume that GHIII is obsolete, and any DLC from this point forward is going to be of this nature. If they throw us another bone or two (which looks like it is going to happen), it's a bonus. And, I know, it's absolutely ridiculous that it has even gotten to this point--if they're not planning a constant stream of varied tracks for GHIV, they may as well not even release it.

Wow, this thread is HUGE! Um, I have had Guitar Hero 2 forever and I am not good. I really haven't been able to make the transition from medium to hard....just to give you an idea of how bad I suck. Anyway, I have a question and I am sorry in advance if this has already been addressed. I got in on the Walmart $40 deal on GH3 with guitar and the new guitar acts nothing like the old one, even though they look almost identical. I went to the red octane and activision websites looking for an answer and this is what I got:


"If the strum bar is registering extra hits try keeping a finger on the strum bar while playing the game instead of flicking it with your fingers/hand."


wtf does this mean? While playing I often cant hold out notes, miss out on completing a star power run, etc. So, I assume, this means my guitar is "registering extra hits." Thanks to anyone who can help.

It's just telling you not to hit the strum bar to hard as it might be flipping back up to hard and thus registring another strum (since it works both up and down).

They're sugestion is to hold on to it rather than to flip it. I'd just try to flip it less hard, or try to exchange it if the extra not hitting is your problem as I don't get it on my GH3 controller and I flip it pretty hard.
 
Wow, I didn't think I would ever buy GH3 content again ... but this Motörhead pack is pretty much impossible to resist.

Nice choices.

Thanks, it's working better now.
 
Yea Motorhead is a good band for this game, just saw VH1's 40 Greatest Metal Songs and they were on there for #3 with the Ace of Spades. Good song.
 
the motorhead DLC is decent. Some good solo's in (we are) the road crew and Motorhead. But stay clean is just lame as fuck. Plain as hell and not fun at all.

My review:

(we are) the road crew - 8/10
Motorhead - 7/10
Stay clean - 2/10
 
I was just getting back into playing GH3 and was going to do some DLC but once I found that it wouldn't transfer to the next games I passed. Lame!
 
Isle of Wight Track Pack is up. Dont know who or what the hell that is but i'll wait for the videos to be posted.

After reading around some other forums it seems this pack is one of if not THE worst pack so far. Very easy constant chords and no solo's in any of them.

What a dissapointment. Will not be getting.

Bands nobody's ever heard of. fuck this game and it's shitty-ass dlc. It's called "Legends". Put some motherfucking bands in that have rocked our collective asses off for 10+ years, please.

Edit: Okay. I know the Sex Pistols.

When I first heard mention of the Isle of Wight, I got all fired-up for Jethro Tull, The Doors, Hendrix and The Who. Thanks for disappointing me (again), Activision.
 
I really want some more bands from independent record labels like Tooth and Nail Records, Solid State Records, Victory Records, Ferret Records or Trustkill Records.

I'm so disappointed with the GH3 DLC. I want to get Rock Band, but can't afford it right now.

Yup same here. I would so get rock band if i didnt know that GHIV and rock band 2 are just around the corner. I'll just wait and pray that the choice i make has good DLC.

after going through all of rock bands DLC, prepare to be just as dissapointed (especially if youre looking for stuff from labels like that). theres a lot more, but theres very little that i would download. but thats just me.

Bleh, that WoW track reminded me of Trogdor except instead of someone screaming "TROGDOR!" It's someone gurgling instead. Crap.
 
[quote name='sleepy180']Yup same here. I would so get rock band if i didnt know that GHIV and rock band 2 are just around the corner. I'll just wait and pray that the choice i make has good DLC.[/quote]

I bought Rock Band a couple days ago after really thinking about if it would be worth doing considering the impending releases. I've been disappointed with GH3 DLC and I didn't like GH3 nearly as much as the first 2(depsite liking most of the track list), I'm skeptical about how GH4 will turn out.

Har har har, I love Trogdor.

AND THEN TROGDOR COMES IN THE NIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
 
Not really game news...Todd McFarlane is working on GH figures:

Then hopefully you get some enjoyment out of it. I'll admit it isn't as rhythmless as it, but it still wasn't anything I enjoyed.
 
is it at least hard? The one thing that pisses me off about the DLC isnt the songs that they pick but that they are so fucking easy. besides EWWS, foo fighters, velvet revolver, and boss pack, everything else has been too damn easy. And i'm not even pro at this game. I dont have any FC's on expert or 5 stars in everything.

Give us some difficult songs please! they can be anything, hell even random notes put together that arent even a song. I just want difficulty up!
 
^

agreed. gonna have to wait till I get home to play but the note charts for these dlc songs has been a joke. outside of DWDTG and the 1 solo part in "we three kings" they have been a on the easy side.
EDIT:
I am Murloc song has a good rhythm to it. The middle solo isn't too bad. t

i made a video of it here. I went -15 which isn't too bad. Its definitely fc'able as bardockkun said, its feels like a tier3/4 song. sorta like Schools Out. Simple chorus, fun solo, just will take a little work to put a run together.
 
The difficulty is meh, I kinda want to place it maybe on the 3rd or 4th tier if I had to give it a spot. The rhythm is pretty consistent until near the end when there's a simple solo. 4 Starred it on first try in expert.

Yeah, the difficulty on expert is meh. I thought I was playing it on Hard but nope it was on expert. I got 4 stars on the first try and I'm not a good GH player, especially metal songs on expert.

Bah! Just because you have an idea where my side is towards since I constantly post there.

And we got GLaDOS AND Promised Land! ...Which both aren't that great, though hell replay value with every other instrument. I guess, but if a DLC song can make me play more then once as opposed to once then look away, then I guess doing something right.

Though afraid with DLC like this, what the setlist for GH:WT will be like (if no one gets Bodom for next round I'll be damn angered and confused).
 
[quote name='Dingleberry']Atleast there we got Glad0s[/QUOTE]

I get tingles everytime I hear the song that plays after the final mission in that movie...

I may own it on VHS, DVD, and HD-DVD. You haven't lived until you've seen the volleyball scene in hi defffff.

Yea, I remember the song used to play in the NES game back in the day and I though it was great then. Even better in GHIII and the price cannot be beat! :bouncy:
