Who's ready for Smash Hits?

[coescastle]

I'm picking it up at midnight, I really like having the masters and being able to drums these songs now. I'd say a lot of people here don't want it, but I'm really looking forward to rocking out playing Freebird. :D

[oogabooha]

Good luck standing the engine and gameplay.

[General Lein979]

That game became obsolete the minute rb got iron maiden with the trooper.

[ArchangelZero]

uhhhh...NOOOOOOOOOO

[coescastle]

Good luck standing the engine and gameplay.

GH: Metallica had a great engine compared to GHWT. That's the one their using from now on too.

[Oscar-Rio]

I was going to rent this, but screw that. Ghostbusters game is coming out tomorrow...sign me up.

[Daemius]

*e-hive five* I too will be picking Ghostbusters up tomorrow :D Dan Aykroyd even called me with a pre-recorded message telling me to pick up my reserved copy at Gamestop tomorrow :p

*e-high five*

the game totally snuck up on me. I just found out today that it was coming out tomorrow. I had just figured it was coming out in the fall. I'm sure it will be far more enjoyable that Smash Hits could ever dream of being. I've heard the Ghostbusters game is pretty creepy and disturbing in some parts. Good sign.

Yes, it looks like this will not be a repeat of the NES Ghostbusters game :D That's a very good thing.

This thread has now been derailed in favor of the Ghostbusters current-gen game :p

do you remember that level where you had to drive the Ecto 1 on the high way and avoid all the obstacles and clear all the gaps? :( i always remember being frustrated at that annoyance.

[Renrock]

I've had it in my possession for a week now, but I still couldn't bring myself to try it. Aside from playing Drums, and singing(though I hate GH vocals) on a few songs like Freebird, it really doesn't do much for me.

Ghostbusters on the other hand :D , good stuff

[Daemius]

Yes, ugh, don't remind me. Of all the old Ghostbusters games, the Sega Genesis one seemed to be the least crappy. Although all of the cast having big cartoony heads was a bit weird.

:pit was just so we could see the details that set each character apart. Otherwise it looked like we're playing with 3 Venkmans.

[afterstasis]

i'm ready for it to come out so the threads will go away.

[Kenny-Band]

I might but not when it comes out, and if I do I will only get the Guitar peripheral (unless Rock Band Wii controllers are compatible, in which case I guess I won't go get a peripheral). Personally I think Guitar Hero should stay Guitar Hero and not try to be "Rock Band: The Bad Ripoff Edition".

[bse523]

Too bad GH Smash ****s uses the GHWT engine.

wrong thread. This one is now about Ghostbusters

[travmeatwad]

No thanks. I saw the Free Bird guitar chart, and it looks awful.

[afterstasis]

if a demo is released i'll check it out, but i get the impression i was scarred more deeply by the NES game than the rest of you guys.

[Daemius]

True. Also, I always wondered why Winston was never in any of the games. It could be they took place before the original movie, therefore, before Winston joined the team, but I remember some of them took place during the movie so... where's Winston?

[Oscar-Rio]

soo, that's why you are the way you are...i get it. Did you play it on Sega? I think everyone who owned a Sega is a little traumatized from their experience.

...i'll refuse the urge to post an obligatory racial statement. I won't go down that path and open the can o' worms.

Teacups of doooooooom :eek:

That one already crossed my mind lol. I thought game devs would be better than that :D

[Oscar-Rio]

confuzzeled...are tea cups of doom some sort of Sega thing? Weirdos. Or is it about that Disney World ride?

[Daemius]

There were these tea cup enemies on the Genesis game that were like harder to kill than any other enemies. It was ridiculous. You expect tea cups to shatter after one proton blast, right? Wrong. Try more like 20 shots >.<

[coescastle]

Too bad GH Smash ****s uses the GHWT engine.

No it doesn't, it has the star status on the bottom and bass drum white just like on Metallica.

[gosox333]

Don't worry OP. I'm with you! I'm pumped and will be getting it tomorrow.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I'm more excited for this than I was for RB2.

[jeccaneko]

:eek:

I may pick this up when it goes to $20. I own 4 GH games (all the 360 ones minus Metallica) and I feel flooded with them.

[afterstasis]

i've never owned a sega system, unless you count that dreamcast thingy that apparently bombed the day i bought it, netting me a total of three purchasable games.

at least jet grind radio wasn't bad.

[topperharley]

I'm not ready. I don't think I'll ever be ready for a GH game ever again.

And I'd be excited about the Ghostbusters game if it were 20 years ago and the movie was still somewhat relevant to me.

[ParkerandtheDogs]

I saw the TTFAF chart. Not buying. Too much slider. I might rent it.

Ghostbusters is always relevant :O

[Runa216]

ugh, I was excited for this game, then I saw the disgusting charting on it (no improvements whatsoever), and I just said "pass"

seriously, I don't care how good the engine is, the charting sucks. period.

a shame, too, becuase I wanna see TTFAF on drums.

[topperharley]

Too much slider.

slider... *sniff* you stink...

[Transbrak]

Considering the good bit of songs allready in rock band and the horrible charts and engine, no thanks.

I am picking up Ghostbusters though :p

[Nuff_Said]

Ghostbusters is always relevant :O

has Ghostbusters ever not been relevant.....i don't think so.

[kiggidykev]

I don't think I want to spend 70 bucks just to play the five or so songs I like.

[Sarge51]

When the light's green, the trap is clean.

[Mega-Tallica]

Preordered it today at Gamestop to get my free drumsticks. To be totally honest, I'm not as excited as I thought I'd be. Playing Through The Fire And Flames will bring back memories though...

[RockBandRocker]

Ghostbusters is going to kick ass!!

I just have to remember to not cross the streams!

[Transbrak]

I'm trying to hold out till the weekend, I know once I start bustin' I won't want to stop and then work will be terrible with the lack of sleep.

[RockBandRocker]

But, bustin' makes you feel good!

[Transbrak]

But, bustin' makes you feel good!

That it does, I also just found out the first movie comes out on Blu-ray tomorrow as well .....more money spent.

[RockBandRocker]

I'm actually looking forward to "Ghostbusters 3" when it comes out.

[ParkerandtheDogs]

8 minutes till it's out!

[B-Wong]

The slide note engine is pretty ******ed from what I hear :p.

[JesusSilencio]

If Unsung weren't in this game, I wouldn't even think about getting it. As it is, I'll probably rent it. The charting that I've seen so far has been god awful.

I am pretty excited that the live version of Unsung is with the old Helmet line-up though.

You know why the charting is f**ked?

Neversoft didn't do it! That's right folks, they found an even more clueless company to do it for them!!


Also: "There is no Dana! Only Zeul!!"

[coescastle]

Just beat the game on Expert drums. You have to go through every song in the career to beat it. Too many great songs on this game if your a drummer or a bassist on the charting. Raining Blood and TTFAF almost killed me, but I passed em. Expert +, hell no not even trying. :p

Great quote but I think: "That's right, this man has no d*ck..." is better.

Oh, and Ghostbusters is probably one of three non-RB games I'll get this year, alongside MW2, and the new Red Dead.

Personally, I've always liked "Are you the keymaster? Are you the gatekeeper?"

And I think Ghostbusters is going to be one the games without Rock Band in the title (or a sequel) that I'm going to enjoy.

[Sargehalo51]

"Gozer: Are you a God?

Dr Ray Stantz: No.

Gozer: Then... DIE!

Winston Zeddemore: Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "YES"!"

Ghostbusters > Smash Hits

[ThunderCurls]

You know what I really hate? People who complain about charts being over or undercharted. Really now, it's just a game, shut up and HAVE FUN! You cannot have fun if you keep expecting these perfect charts that match how the song is played on guitar in the real world.

It's like me complaining that my guitar shaped biscuits do not have proper strings or if I cut a person and the blood splatters in an unrealistic way.

Just silly.

[Doom878]

I played Ghostbusters over the weekend (friend's modded 360) and it was pretty fun. A lot of talking and watching scenes but I only played like the first 30 mins of the game.

I will rent SH today after work as some of the songs seem fun. I hope it's charted like Metallica. I couldn't play WT.

[Tego1in]

Haven't bought a GH game since 3.

[RockBandRocker]

Haven't bought a GH game since 3.

Me either, and even THAT was a mistake.



Venkman: [as they approach Gozer] Grab your stick!
[they draw their handsets]
Ray, Spengler, Winston: HOLDIN'!
Venkman: Heat 'em up!
[they arm their packs]
Ray, Spengler, Winston: SMOKIN'!
Venkman: Make 'em hard!
[they rack their handsets]
Ray, Spengler, Winston: READY!
Venkman: Let's show this prehistoric b**ch how we do things downtown...THROW IT!

[Joeylinkmaster]

I'll play Free Bird to death when I rent SH, then I won't have a reason to waste money on that game :)

.

Well if I'm playing a music based simulation game then yea I do want the charts to be as accurate as possible otherwise it ceases to be a simulation and becomes an exercise in button mashing which I don't find fun. For me , and obviously many people, the fun is in feeling like your playing the music. I'll still enjoy playing songs I like even if I feel the charting is dodgy but I'll be a little bummed out about it and wish it was better.

[KoopaTim]

Know what this has and rock band misses?
Killing in the Name.

That and I'd just like to see my drummer fail Dragonforce.

i also hate it when people complain about unresponsive controls, poorly animated characters, crap art/graphics, buggy hit detection, bad level design, and absolutely anything else in video games...

we're supposed to be having fun, not pointing out flaws in our entertainment! :rolleyes:

[Doom878]

Lame Blockbusters. One had it for the Wii but not PS3. They didn't order any. Another won't have them until Friday. Freaking Metallica was out on day 1, I guess no buzz for this one?
