Black Baby Goku posted: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) What does it do then? I heard it's best to just play an easy song, and you need a 200+ streak for it to calibrate.

I use the self calibrate on the difficulty I normally play on. It'll figure out if you're early or behind.

The game calibration option really helped me. I got the bell as close as I could then played a few songs with that on and now it's perfect.

The charts for this are mostly good and fun, but when they're frustrating they're REALLY frustrating That 36 Crazyfists song is one, and the Zedd song in the Dance/Pop premium pack right now is another Also the HOPO window in this game seems really forgiving which is a plus. Not quite as lax as GH3 but definitely moreso than basically everything else if my memory serves me right. Still having a blast. Only thing that makes me sad is lack of drums

This game is very forgiving of hitting notes late, but if you hit it even a little early you're screwed. And yes I've calibrated it, it's just how the game works from what I can tell.

I picked this up on black Friday and just played the first set. Quick question: my hand really wants to slide and hit 2,3 chords with index and middle. Is doing this going to bite me in the rear end later?

The difficulty spike between Regular and Advanced is really big, I'm afraid to even look at Expert or whatever it's called.

I don't know but for now I'll assume it's to really rub it in the faces of those rock band kids and their $100 stand alone guitars. I dunno but it has to work that way right?

Do they even offer Guitar Hero Live as a digital download only? I wouldn't think so because it requires the guitar.

The ps3 / ps4 guitar controllers aren't cross compatible the way the dual shock 4 is, right? I was probably going to grab the PS3 version just because I don't feel like paying for PSN+, but wanted the option to upgrade since this is the sort of game that will eventually end up with a sequel.

Top and bottom buttons in one chord are driving me crazy but I'll get it eventually. Barred notes don't seem to register reliably the way I'm playing though. You're supposed press down right in the middle and activate both buttons, right? I can't possibly be doing something wrong here. Otherwise, best $69 black friday purchase. Nice to see it's been properly rebooted, the Guitar Hero/Rock Band craze was at full throttle when I was in college and just more of that would be easier to remaster but there'd be no challenge. GHTV is great too, I can just chill out and enjoy, and my roommate doesn't play but loves to watch just for the music videos.

Barre chords should be played by putting your whole finger down flat to press both buttons, it sounds like you're trying to aim in the middle with just the tip of your finger

The notes kind of glow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7ISumUDL70 I was confused at first because I played the iOS App with the free demo songs, and there were lines connecting the hammer ons and pull offs... I assumed there would be a line in the main game

Rock the Ages: The 90’s The Offspring – Pretty Fly for a White Guy Marcy Playground – Sex and Candy Alice in Chains – Them Bones Additionally, if you place first in this show you’ll receive Solo Pectrus, a new note highway. Interesting to note that the naming implies that this is part of a series known as Rock the Ages. Could we be seeing more decade shows in the coming weeks? Class of 2015 Nothing But Thieves – Ban All the Music The Bots – Blinded Pulled Apart by Horses – Hot Squash No single artist show (yet), so these look like the only two that are going to be added this week. In addition to these shows, the following songs are now available On-Demand. Knife Party – Centipede The Prodigy – Nasty Rival Sons – Electric Man (Live) Rival Sons – Keep on Swinging (Live) Rival Sons – Pressure and Time (Live) Zedd – Stache

My $20 2nd guitar came in yesterday, HOLY CRAP do these things break down quickly. I hadn't noticed how bad the buttons, strum bar, and whammy had gotten on my not more than a month old original guitar until I played a few songs on the brand new guitar. Night and day difference, I didn't have fight the buttons to get them to press and all the really fast strummy metal parts were a breeze. I'd highly suggest anyone that really likes the game to keep an eye out for cheap replacement guitars because they wear down super fast it seems. Also while I'm talking about guitar hero the "progression" in GHTV is a bit undercooked; you get status point to increase your level, status points are awarded depending how you place in the song, 1st-10th; you buy guitar upgrades to increase your score which then increases your 1-10 rank allowing you to get more status points and level up faster; at level 20 you stop getting status points, thus making all the upgrades moot. In other words you compete to raise levels faster but the faster you get through the levels the faster you are making all of your upgrades obsolete.

My first online score dual has me play against somebody that has a score of zero, yet is hitting every note. They finish with a full combo and beat me, so I lose... yet on the stat screen I had a larger streak than them. That made no loving sense at all.

Is it just me or is the Queen premium show kind of unfair score-wise? I was getting like 99% on the songs, with maybe 2 or 3 dropped notes and it was placing me in 4th or 5th for each song, with the AI winner showing up as having low 90s in their percentages but a much higher score. I do have a bunch of the guitar upgrades too for multipliers and score but I was still way behind them.
