There was new stuff in the "new music" section of GHTV last night that wasn't there the day before. Can't remember exactly what though, nor can I find a place on the net that announces this stuff. The official forums aren't great to navigate.

I grabbed the game on Friday after mulling it over for a long time, a lot better than anyone should have expected after the last few Guitar Hero games and GHTV is exactly what I need because I suffer from "endlessly scroll around song lists looking for something to play" syndrome and it's nice that the game is just all "here play this, choice is unnecessary."

So looks like their strategy is to put out new premium sets and then the next week release them into the catalog the following week.

My understanding is premium, then on demand, and then into the channels, with a week on each step.

Hm, well, the songs that are bad are really bad, but "Addicted to Love" almost singlehandedly makes up for it.

The songs are better than I anticipated and the charting has yet to make me say out loud "oh come on!" It's not perfect charting but it usually makes sense.

The charting is typical Guitar Hero "let's use all of the notes!" stuff, but it feels less egregious because there's no real analog.

five finger death punch are really good at taking good songs and completely ruining them, I guess, after bad company and from out of nowhere I figured they were done doing that but I was wrong!

I wish there were a difficulty between "Regular" and "Advanced" because Regular is way too easy for me and Advanced is just slightly too hard for me to do well without practicing the song a few times.

I just want to point out that this is possibly the most British game I've seen in years. When showing it to a friend last weekend he noticed the overt Britishness and I joked that freestyle games is likely located in Upper Downingtonshire Of Half York, just the most British place ever, turns out theyre actually located in Royal Leamington Spa, so yea I wasn't too far off the mark. All the Brits in the Live portion are a pretty good tip off but all the GHTV bands are really what seals it.

Is there any reason to avoid this game on Wii U if you have a PS4?

Saw this on Amazon's Black Friday calendar, and assume it's going to be cheaper than the $65 price it's been at all week. I assume Wii U will be easier to snag.

The calibration tool is not what you think. Just move the bell until it's in perfect timing, not until the end (this happened to me)
