I got this email from Best Buy. Makes the $50 copy of Guitar Hero even better.

Thank you for choosing Best Buy to pre-order SKU 5886168 - Ps4 - Guitar Hero Live. We noticed that your order does not have the Free Bonus Item, a Guitar Hero Live microphone, included with your game. We want to make sure that you have this microphone to rock out with your friends, so we have added it to your order, free of charge.

There is no action needed from you. We hope you enjoy your game and value your continued loyalty to Best Buy.

Sincerely,

Pedram Afshar
Vice President Customer Experience

I also got this email and a shipment confirmation but my free mic came at the same time as the game. Two free microphones ain't bad I guess.

Might play some of this later after watching Jurassic World. Hopefully I can use the same calibration numbers from RB4. Not happy with Activison being cheap and having both guitars in the two-pack require a separate USB dongle.

I actually don't have alot of times to game these days but even i think its feasible to finish assassin's creed in a week if there are motivations to do so. And for those whom can should be able to trade it back to bby for the equivalent of a free rental.

I always get so sidetracked by the collectibles and side quests in games. MadMax is starting to ware on me. But I know if I don't finish it now, I never will.

I also don't do the free rental turn around like some. The first five years of last gen, I didn't do any trades. Then one day I traded in 60 360/ps3 games. Looking back I sort of regret it. I did trade a few games to Walmart last year when they had insane trade values, I got $65 for some games lol. Fallout 4 will be somewhere around my 43rd physical ps4 game I'll have. I also have 7 xb1 exclusives.

I really want to open it (but haven't because finances are tight and considering returning it) because it does sound like the best guitar game in a while and that they managed some innovation even if they didn't overhaul the whole thing. The new guitar, GHTV, decent on disk track list, and that there's more streaming tracks coming all make for a convincing sounding package. Especially compared to RB4 that seems like basically a port to next gen. Even though the scores aren't amazing most places seem to be in to it aside from the lame career mode.

The microtrans and not being able to play the songs that aren't on disc any time you want is kind of meh but it also sounds like if you're down with the streaming style of delivery you won't have to pay a dime and will earn credits to play songs on demand.

For those that haven't picked up Guitar Hero or opened it yet, you will find a 10$ off coupon for Skylanders Superchargers.  If past Black Friday ads have shown us, there will be multiple retailers selling this for 37.  If BB does this with GCU, and the coupon, it could be a pretty sweet deal.

cousin said it was tuff and gonna take awhile to get used too but really didn't say if he liked it or not, prob too early for him.

idk the new guitar fret buttons and the fact it's only good with future guitar hero games just turns me off. but was never too big on GH, always preferred rock band and loving 4 :D

Yeah, that you can't use past controllers and it's limited to this franchise (assuming it continues but doesn't make Harmonix switch) is definitely a draw back. Almost all the reviews do say that once you get used to it that it does feel improved and more like actually playing a guitar so I'm excited to try it.

First I have to turn it on. Now I have to update it to 3.10. This better be worth it.

Edit- Why does it say "Guitar Hero Live | Jamming in GH2"?

Played new GH at friends house and didn't like I it. The idea of GHTV is great, I'll give you that. But one thing I thought about is that if a song doesn't have a music video it means a no go for GHTV. I personally love deeper cuts that you can get from RB (like "Rats in the Cellar" this week in RB DLC) so that is a turn off for me. The other thing is, we played Hangar 18 and the music video cuts out the final two minutes of guitar solos so it's missing a major portion of the song. Didn't run into other songs that did this but that was unexpected and a turn off for myself.

The "live" aspect of the career was also pretty cheesy. The song choices also went against the idea of being a guitarist in a rock band. Something about playing "Bangarang" as a guitarist while having a singer bouncing around and singing the audio samples from the song was really awkward.

I personally will not be getting GH unless it gets clearanced out somewhere. I'll stick to RB for my musical gaming needs.

yea and when you do think about it, it is more realistic moving left and right along the frets but one of the reasons I was never big on GH is that it always seemed like they went out of there way to make songs difficult which yea hardcore players love but just isn't my style.

At first I thought ookkkaaayyyy only 3 fret buttons.............and then realized there was anther set making it six buttons, that alone is making it harder. And not too mention all the sliding and adjusting all overt he place.

yea I'd prob buy when it gets around 50 and below, maybe by then anther one will be in the works. If RB didn't just come out and wasn't in the works for some time I would've got GH for the hell of it.

 
I am in for star wars ,call of duty,halo, rainbow ,tomb raider,   on the fence  for fallout 4

Anyone else not seeing the points pending for guitar hero? I preorder a lot of these 10 reward very games and usually see the points pending but not in this case.
 
Was really considering getting it but too many flashbacks of having loads of plastic hardware laying around everywhere.. happy with Rock Band.

That being said, i'm so used to the old GH guitar that the new RB stratocaster feels odd in my hands.

It will screw up your order. I cancelled my halo 5 CE a couple months back after seeing how crappy it was and it only partially refunded me and set tomb raider and AC back to normal price on the order.

Edit: I use PayPal so everything is charged instantly for me and not just a hold.

Opened it up last night and I really enjoyed it. The GHTV thing is neat and a cool idea and has a lot of songs I enjoy. Earning coins is pretty easy too so getting more to play songs as I want should be simple. The guitar does take a little getting used to though and feels weird at first. The live concert thing is whatever but I'm too busy watching the notes to pay attention to the background images. I personally have enjoyed it and glad I got it.

Same here

 
I wrote up kind of a mini review for Guitar Hero earlier, so I'll post it here too in case anyone is on the fence. Full disclosure, I mostly jumped ship from Guitar Hero as soon as Rock Band became a thing. This is not what I expected to happen at all.

I hope this doesn't start a middle school flame war in here, but after not ever being able to track down a legacy bundle version of RB4, I decided to refund my digital RB4 purchase and just follow through with my GCU pre-order of Guitar Hero Live...and I have to say, I'm actually really, really liking the game so far

Where RB4 seemed to very much play it safe and follow the "if it ain't broke..." approach, GHL is a pretty freaking ballsy game. Starting with the guitar controller...I LOVE it. Maybe it's being a musician and playing guitar in real life, but this controller is challenging on a whole new level. In some ways, I actually think it might be harder than really playing guitar, lol...but getting your brain to accept that going left/right quickly is no longer the skill...and that it's up/down now...and the various combinations that can be made from that, is a total mindfuck.

It's exactly what they said it is. It can be super simple just hopping from one button to the next, but when they throw in barre chords and stuff that is like power chords, but inverting and mirroring for each string, it gets so hard and confusing, haha.

I'm also loving GHTV. It's fantastic. It's MTV when MTV was MTV...except you can play Guitar Hero over it. People have been trying to criticize it as pay to play, but that's not it at all. Yes, you have "play tokens" that you can buy (though I've already earned 20 in like an hour) but those only count if you want to select a specific song. If you're cool with doing random stuff (which for me, has become more fun anyway...even in RB), you can pick between two different channels that basically have music "shows" all day long, and play "for free".

These shows can be 30 minutes or one hour long and just continuously play videos that you can jump in or jump out of at any time. Yes, you can't pause the track. If you put the controller down, the music keeps going...and you just get whatever score you get. As an example, right now the show on channel 1 is "Incredible Hits" and is currently playing Boston's "More Than A Feeling". Channel 2 is "Pop Hour" and is currently playing Ed Sheeran's "Sing". (and they just finished up a Metal show and "2000-2010 Hits").

I think the thing I love about it the most is how unlike any previous Guitar Hero game this feels like. It just feels like a controller and a music service that I can jam to any time I want. Yeah, there's no full band. But it feels innovative in its simplicity. It's almost the exact opposite of where RB4 went, and so far, I think I might like it more. Time will tell how repetitive GHTV will get...but if they can add music to it regularly, it could be an incredible alternative to DLC.

I'm honestly shocked how enjoyable this game is so far. I think Activision finally got it right.

Supposedly the Avenged Sevenfold content is a set list in GHTV. No one knows how to access it since there is no way the game can know you preordered.

Hubert should chime in here but it should just be active on GHTV from 10/20-11/2.

 
I suspect they'll ship out Syndicate tomorrow and upgrade it to next day air like they usually do. Last week, however, my friend's Yoshi order got delayed till Monday due to some local flash flooding, which is the bad part about this method combined with Friday releases but I don't expect any delays.
