[quote name='Backlash']So, now that GH3 is out, what does everyone think?
So far it seems good, but oddly it's not as immersive as the first two, IMO. The first two gave me the feeling I was really playing the guitar, whereas in 3 I feel more like I'm hitting buttons in time to a soundtrack.
My wife theorizes that it's because GHJ and GH2 made the guitar parts much louder than the vocals and drums, and GH3 seems to just use the original mixes. I think she might be right.[/QUOTE]
Even if it is the master track, can the guitar volume be adjusted in the Audio Settings? I saw lots of settings in there but I didn't look too closely.
So far I think the tracklist is great and I"m loving the game.
I could have done without the Morello battle mode though. That felt too much like Tony Hawk, and trying to get SKATE, which was bullshit and ruined that game. I hate having to complete challenges. That's what made GHI and II so good. No stupid challenges, just rocking. Why did Neversoft feel the need to screw with a good forumula?
Nonetheless, it's not the end of the world. It took me three tries to beat Morello on Medium, so I can't really complain.
EDIT: Okay, after playing through and beating Slash in battle mode first time through, I guess it isn't so bad. At least there are only three battles (I haven't got to the third but I read that it's The Devil).
