Guitar Hero: Aerosmith - Gen. Discussion & Info

I didn't want to bump an old thread, so I figured I'd just toss this in here.

I just got the GH3 bundle I ordered from Amazon and was a little perturbed that the strum bar didn't make a noise when I hit it down as I was messing aroudn with it after opening. Up makes the normal click noise, no problem. So, I was worried... and then I used it to play a bit. Works perfectly (and silently :applause: ).

So... I guess my question is, does this sound like a guitar that's going to break in a month, or did I just happen to get the best guitar ever?

Thanks!

Any details on the guitar that comes with this? The picture on amazon is different from the GHIII one. I may use a YF360 credit to get the guitar then play through the song list once and sell it.

Also a GH Metallica is supposedly slated to hit this year. Maybe GH4 is not the end of guitar only games after all.
 
Well that Cult song is an unexpected surprise. Good song.

Still hard for me to get too excited when there are no drums or vox though :(
 
Activision faces the same issue Capcom will experience with Street Fighter. I expect Guitar Hero: Aerosmith to underperform, though I wouldn't be surprised if people refused the new expense of Guitar Hero 4. Hell, they'll probably both underperform. :cool:
 
[quote name='SynGamer']I still can't believe DLC from GH3 won't work on this...major, MAJOR fuck up if you ask me.[/QUOTE]

We'll if this game is supposed to be forward compatible with GHIV, as rumored, then I can see why the DLC won't work.

This may sound crazy, but I would have loved to seen the Kid Rock, Run DMC & Aerosmith Mtv performance/medley in the game.
 
Id rather have Rock Box than King of rock, but I cant complain, RUN DMC is my favorite old school rap group.


they only have DMC though? was Rev Run too busy filming his reality show?
 
i saw this available on the ThankYou reward network. So if you guys have a credit card or travel that uses thankyou points, you should be able to use your points for the game. I think I used 5400 pts.
 
Achievements have been revealed (except for 16 secret ones):

http://www.achieve360points.com/game/guitarheroaerosmith/

Nothing that amazing there except for the description of two achievements:

28. Deuces Are Wild
Complete all songs on the setlist as the lead guitarist (Local or Xbox LIVE - primary user)

33. Love Me Two Times
Complete all songs on the setlist as the Bass/Rhythm guitarist (Local or Xbox LIVE - primary user)

Do these mean that Co-Op Career will be available over XBL?
 
[quote name='Mr. Anderson']Max's Kansas City as a venue? Seriously, that's awesome.[/QUOTE]

That's my favorite thing about the game so far. Which ain't saying much.
 
my favorite thing is the song "personality crisis".. but i don't know if its worth it for me just for this song.. considering the last one i bought just for one song sucked (rocks the 80s.. for the Police Truck really.. and a few others but really jsut for that)
 
[quote name='Bioshocked360']I'm glad this game isn't going to have insane achievements like GHIII. These achievements seem reasonable.[/QUOTE]

The do look more do-able, which is a good thing for us non-fake guitar phenoms.
 
The difficulty achievements are stackable, meaning that if you beat Expert, you get them all. No longer do you have to torture yourself playing easy.

BTW: I think I can do 1000 in one day

How in the hell is Sex Type Thing (Great Song, imo) a final tier song? Its not that difficult.
 
Man the more I look at this setlist and the bonus songs, the more underwhelmed I become. At this point, thank goodness I'm getting the bundle for free because I'm pretty sure I cannot justify paying full price for this. Now if they have online co-op career like the achievements imply that is a huge step in the right direction but I'd much rather then find a way to get that into GHIII.

I've always wanted to know where the little video clip in your sig is from. I know that it's steve carell, but is it from the Office or what?

Its from Anchorman I'm pretty sure.
 
I was driving by my local GameStop yesterday and noticed a sign in the window... a sign that said 'Guitar Hero: Aerosmith Midnight Launch! Line starts (date) at 10pm!'.

Now, seriously, just... why? Of all games to open at midnight for, it's this? Seriously, GameStop?
 
The Guitar Hero franchise is big enough that this will sell copies even though this is the exact same game as Guitar Hero III with fancier graphics and an Aerosmith flavor added. I say if they have enough pre-orders why not?
 
It mainly got me because they didn't even do one for Brawl. Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but I'm getting the sense that even people who *are* fans of GH/RB aren't even excited about this one.

Seemed like an odd pick for an 'event' opening.

...and in other news about the obvious... gas is expensive.
 
[quote name='Corvin']...and in other news about the obvious... gas is expensive.[/quote]

compared to Europe, gas is cheap. For American standards, it is expensive, but tell a European about our gas prices and he'll wish he could purchase it for the same price.
 
I played a demo of this yesterday at my local Toys R Us and was pretty impressed since I was not very excited for the game.

The demo featured Walk this Way which was awesome.
Joan Jett – I hate myself for loving you which was very good.
Lenny Kravitz – Always on the Run which was decent.
It also had Dream On and Sweet Emotion and I did not try them.

Overall I came away impressed and now that I know the King of Rock is in the game I will pick this up when its on sale or if I can manage a deal. Hopefully they will release this demo on XBL or by OXM.
 
if you already own the other Guitar Hero games and just want to play this for the achievements and the change of songs, rent it and you could beat it on one difficulty setting in one or two sittings.

Easy ass achievements up in this one!

I guess they amped up the difficulty to make up for the lack of songs though, which is alright.
 
[quote name='Razzuel']Ugh, Cat Scratch Fever should be in Rock Band.[/QUOTE]

Why? The Nuge is all about guitar. Guitar Hero is a perfect fit, IMO. He mentioned that he was mo-capped for GHIV recently in a radio interview a few weeks back. The song? Stranglehold, baby.

That's probably what I'll do in the end. GH:WT is coming out too soon after this to make me really want to spend too much time w/ it.
 
My skill level: I lose alot online in pro face off expert. Ive 5 starred all songs on HARD. Ive 5 starred almost all songs on expert (main setlist) except like 5. I have no FC's except in medium and easy.


Guitar Hero Aerosmith is too fucking easy. I am glad i rented it because the first song i played i got like 5 achievments. This game is way too easy. Ive beaten it and every song on expert with 5 stars except like 4. My suggestion to anyone even near my skill level is to rent it. Maybe its the fact that i'm not even really a big aerosmith fan except those alicia silverstone videos.

But all the songs are SLOOOW and BORRRING and NOOT FUUN and EAAAASY.

Might like this better if your a newbie GH player and like aerosmith. Otherwise i say wait for GHWT and GHMetallica
 
I'm not that good at GH and I've five starred every song except one so far on hard. I still haven't beaten GH III on hard yet.
 
DAMNIT! This is sad news. When I saw the setlist, I was already dissappointed, but was hoping the songs would be at least fun/challenging to play. Ah well, I've got a free copy coming, so I'll prolly just sell that one and rent it to at least play it. sigh...
 
I'll probably enjoy it since I can't do hard on GH3 (just not willing to put the time into it) and I've always liked Aerosmith. The fact that people aren't willing to buy it will only help it get to me through goozex quicker :D
