Jack... that was the only song I almost failed on easy... I mean, a song or two may've had me drop into the yellow as I messed up a time or two, but I was flashing red on that Slayer song 😱. Heck, I think Through Fire and Flames is easier than that Slayer song.

Although, I think some of their songs may've needed a tier switch. Metallica's The One is so easy, I have no idea why it's in Tier 8. Even in my noobness, I still had a 400 note streak on that song.

Take a run through One on Expert in Practice mode 😉

Edit: And to comment on Slayer, that is now the reason that I will progress no further than I am on Expert! (But I'm at least now content that I beat Cult of Personality! 🙂)
 
Now that a few people are getting their "slot tokens" to work on the website, how is the syncing process going? Mine came to a screeching halt shortly after I posted yesterday that about one song was showing up for every five minutes. I hope it starts back up, seeing RandomFool unjustly sitting at the top of the groupie chart for our tour group is really starting to get my blood boiling. 😉

been trying for a good portion of the night on hard, i think my hand's about to fall off...

Dude, if you even COMPLETE that song on hard, you're definitely the man! I can't even come close to completing it on easy. 🙁 It's just freakin' ridiculous!

I played it on medium, and I beat it the first time but it's definitely the dumbest song on the playlist. The guitar solo just seems like a bunch of random notes... not very fun at all.

Yeah, I thought "One" was going to be a b!tch, but it was pretty easy. I'll see how it is on hard.


For all you guys that can do that Slayer song, my hats off to you. I don't know if I'll ever be able to complete it.
 
How do you know when your account is linked. I never got a confirmation dialog, but just that my token is invalid.

Um, it's him and you that are on top of most songs (I assume you are CKRanger). Only about 8 of my songs have been uploaded since I got my code to take. I'm comin' for both of you. but, first I have to get through that Cydonia song. 😀

I am CKRanger, I'm just joking around. I don't even know the formula the GH website is using to figure out the total number of groupies, but right now it's showing RandomFool as having more than all of us.

My friends list is comprised mostly of Anandtech members. I remember Shad3Wolf was always so far ahead on the career score leaderboard that everyone else was playing for 2nd.

Why thank you sir! 😀

I wonder how I'm doing these days...I gotta check and see if I fell out of the top 10k yet. I broke the top ~1500 for a little bit, but I just couldn't keep up and ended up falling.

I really wonder how I would do in GH2 after having played GH3 for a few days...I might have to experiment with that later! 😉
 
I'm about tired of trying to fool with that damn website. It's ridiculous that someone like Bungie can have the amazing amount of features work and work correctly on their site from day 1 (they did have problems for a couple of days after launch), but Red Octane and Neversoft can't even get simple scores to upload right, let alone allowing users to actually link their accounts. The whole "traffic is amazing large, keep trying" BS is stupid....if traffic was a problem, we should be getting timeout errors, not slot token errors, whatever the hell that is. Being able to link my account is NOT a traffic problem.

I'm just getting sick and tired of paying for a product that isn't fully functional. This website was part of the product, not a freebie extra. It needs to start working, or people should be able to get their money back. I'm just tired of this crap.
 
Yeah, its kinda crappy that its not working at all. The site performs just fine for me, and I can input a code but it just doesnt link up. I'm not even sure if one of the characters is the letter O, or a zero... So I've gotta enter in the code twice, with both. and watch it fail... twice.

It's ok to be jealous of my madd 1337 GHIII skizzles. No one will blame you.

I for one hope they never fix the site since my account seems to be the only one that's working. It's good to be on top.
 
I 5 starred Raining Blood on hard my first try, but can't even get past those insane fast pulloffs in the beginning of the song on expert... I fail at about 34% every time. That's all that's keeping me from battling Lou in expert 🙁
 
Has anyone experienced any problems with the fret buttons not working ? One of my guitars has the buttons periodically stop working.. Its usually the top 3, green red yellow. They will start working again if you press in on the neck twords the base. I tried cleaning those connectors, etc but it still does it.

I am going to take it back today, as my other Les Paul works fine. Wonder if this neck-quick release connection is going to be a failure point as time goes on.
Could be I just rawk too hard, who knows 😉

Yeah that'd be Mosh 1. F*ck that part! :|

I got to 33% on attempt one last night and just put it away because that's gonna drive me crazy...! 😕

I find myself occasionally missing stuff that I normally hit all the time and am wondering if it's the guitar at fault, or if I'm just sucking. I'll have to plug the xplorer in tonight and see if that makes any difference...

The first night I was playing with the "broken" guitar, I thought my timing was just off or maybe they tightened it up abit on GH3 (Vs Gh2). It was odd though because 100% of the time I would miss the green notes.

The second night, I was watching my buddy play it, and he would press the button but the corresponding button on the screen would not depress. After that, I fired up practice mode and found I could tweak the neck a little bit and cause it to fail 100% of the time.

Sometimes I'll hit the strum bar for no reason at all... I'm too used to DDR where you can just step and it doesn't matter (as long as you don't step on the wrong arrow... so if there's nothing to be hit and you step, no biggie).

Great song though. Getting to that song was the whole reason I stayed up late last night (when I had to work at 6am)... and then I went back and 5-starred it today! I wish they'd put some other Muse songs in there like Map of the Problematique, Futurism or Assassin.

That song has probably my favorite guitar riff ever, I have it as my ring tone. And it pwns me on medium. I am terrible

That was the only song to give me trouble on Medium. 😱

Mine started messing up on me last night... I just hit start, unlocked the neck of the guitar, pushed it back in and relocked. I didn't have a problem after that. I should just super glue the damn things together 😛. For me, I hit green and wondered why I kept missing when I thought I was hitting it. I watched the bottom and the green kept cutting out and coming back in.
