GH3 online = exercise in frustration - Blu-ray Forum

BStecke · 05-28-2008, 06:14 AM

So . . . I haven't played GH3 online in quite some time, so I popped it in, and now I remember why. The online is totally f****** lame. I love how everybody plays on easy, and despite the fact that I play on expert and get 99% of the notes correct even with the stupid attacks, the other guy is basically immune to everything since a retarded baby could play on easy and the attacks do nothing. What a shi**y game.

I agree, that's one of the reasons why (that and the other reason, adding stupid notes that don't even exist in the damn song!) I went out and bought Rock Band last year. I play more Rock Band and GHII than I do GHIII. I think Harmonix hit the nail on the head when it comes to game play and online play with RB. Although online is not perfect (and they have a lot of room for improvement) I like it so much better than GHIII.

I wholeheartedly agree. I think I'm done with Guitar Hero for all future releases. POS.

The only thing I like about GHIII...is the guitar. I love the wireless guitar and the strum bar more than RB's. For some reason I think the strum bar just seems too loose. I play RB with the GHIII controller exclusively.

...and yes that means I have it for Xbox 360...please don't think any less of me...

I like the strum bar on the GH3 guitar better, but that's it. The buttons are hard to push down compared to RB (my hand actually is sore from playing for about 45 minutes . . . never happens with RB), and the gap between them is too big. There's a mod out there for the RB guitar strum bar that adds the clicky feel of the GH3 guitar. I'm seriously considering it. It's like 20 bucks.

Interesting, I'll have to check that out...thanks. If you do end up getting it let me know how it works out for you, and vice versa.

I didn't even need to get to the online aspect of ANY Guitar Hero game to develop the exact same opinion. I only ever played Guitar Hero II. It was good for the 6 months of practice leading up to my 'Rock Band' purchase. Once 'Rock Band' was released, I knew that I was now playing a quality game.

At least you can find people to play with. Everytime I jump on I can never find another to play with. But I can always find another player for Rock Band.

I hate GH3 online, it is just horrible.
But I would take GH's guitar over RB's guitar anyday

Pelican170 · 05-28-2008, 02:14 PM

I like it online, but I dont play the Battle Mode. Pro-Face Off is where its at for me.. and Rock Bands Guitar is too easy. Sole reason why i dont own rock band, since i dont really care about the drums also..
