Any Guitar Hero/Rock Band players? - Page 2 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

I'm a GH2 player, because that's all I own. I can only use the guitar on easy and medium because my fingers aren't fast enough to hit the buttons. I'm on hard and expert for just the regular PS2 controller, so you'll never see me play with the guitar because I'm used to the hard songs nowadays. Such fun watching myself hit those solos. On the last day of school of this year, the 5th and 6th graders played GH3, and I really wanted to play, but the bell rang so I left. I really wanted to play "Holiday in Cambodia" though.

I really wish I had Rock Band, though. My cousin wants to do the drums for the game, and I want to sing for it. Even though I've never played it, I'm sure I can sing the male singers' parts very well anyway. Not much of the females, though. Some of the female singers, I think, hit notes too high for me to hit.

I tried GH2 on a PS2 controller. All I say is this:

HOW THE HECK DO YOU PLAY LIKE THAT?

Don't get me wrong, I beat Medium with it but... MY GOD it is hard to do.

not really. then again, that is how i started playing GH. and how i currently play it. while it is slightly harder to hit the notes in GH2 than GH3 (at least it feels that way to me) its still pretty easy. this may be obvious, but (at least i) hold the controller like this:

left index finger on green, middle on red, ring on yellow, pinky on blue but at the side for easy movement to orange, right thumb (and for fast strumming index as well) on strum bar, pinky on select, and pretty much everything else around the whammy bar.

i find it harder to play it on those smaller guitar controllers because i cant get my fingers near select and have to work just to grab the whammy (which is always loose for some reason.) also the notes seem more slick then they do on the controller i own, so my fingers sometimes slip.

Last time I checked the PS2 controller scheme didn't have a strumbar.

Wow...
Am I the only one who plays with a REAL guitar controller?
For the record, you can't play Rock Band with a standard controller. It just recognizes it as a vocalist with no mic plugged in. So take THAT, controller players!

oh you were talking about the normal ps2 controller and not the GH controller. wow i feel stupid right now.

DISREGARD EVERYTHING I SAID EARLIER, IT MEANS NOTHING NOW.

LOL.

I'm coming really close to FCing Here It Goes Again on expert guitar in Rock Band.

(For those not good in terms of GH/RB, FC is full combo, which means hitting every note and not doing any accidental extra strums.)

I've become somewhat of a modern music game junkie after giving Guitar Hero 3 a shot last Christmas. I've played them all save for Rocks the 80's (I refuse to pay 50.00 for a glorified expansion pack, and I am annoyed that Activision refuses to lower the price despite the game being out for over a year.) or Areosmith. (It's slightly cheaper but there are so many other games I'd rather buy first.)

Personal favorite out of all them has to be GH2 sure they're mostly covers but the ratio of fun/good songs is much higher compared to 1 or 3. Also the fact that 2 has Trogdor also balances the scales highly in it's favor.

Of course after hearing the news about Ozzy's involvement in World Tour (See article below.) and the inclusion of his solo hit Crazy Train (A song I've wanted to see in one of these games since the first GH back in 05.) we might have a new winner.

Finally, after so much GH2 hacks of it, Crazy Train is in GH...
Wow.

I own, and play every single Guitar Hero game to date, and Rock Band. I can play expert on most songs, not including TTFAF. >< Yes, I am getting Guitar Hero: World Tour and Rock Band 2.
It sucks...my bass drum pedal broke on my rock band drums. It snapped in half.

I have Guitar Hero: Aerosmith for the Wii, in case anyone wants to play me. And yes, I do have a guitar hero customs disc, and have modded my PS2, without taking the back of it off.

some guy you dont know · 08-24-2008, 03:18 PM

just a note involving rock band - its really hard to beat a song without the orange pedal for the drums. i almost lost on learn to fly like 10 times today at best buy. ON MEDIUM. beat it, though.

havent played it in a while. i seriously plan to get a pre-order of world tour on my birthday then aerosmith with the cash. so far all i have is 2 and 3.

oh and 2 is better. maybe thats because i love nirvana and the foo fighters and its the only game i own with both of them in it. also trogdor and dethklok.
