Is anyone out there disappointed in GHIII?

[Sophrosyne]

I've been playing the game since yesterday and I've realized that I don't like the game as much as I thought I would of. I've noticed that there are a lot of things that have been left open-ended, especially with the online mode. I can barely connect to matches when I try to join them. You can't speak to your opponent before you start a song (i.e. like a lobby in FPS games), and you can't replay songs if you fail them online when you're playing co-op.

The soundtrack seems a bit boring to me as well =T There's about ten songs that I like and some that I think should have been on Rock the 80's or something lol. It's funny that it's called "Legends of Rock" when there are a lot of modern tracks on the setlist (i.e. 2003’s and up). The bonus songs don't seem that interesting either IMO. The characters are pretty fugly too. I don't know what they were thinking when they created the costumes for Izzy, that peacock one is ridiculous. Casey is the hottest one for me.

The battle system is a bit weird to me. I beat Tom Morello by just throwing about 3 of the specials at him (which took less than 2 min or something). I did the same for Slash and I’m playing on EXPERT. I’m not godly in the game (i.e. I haven’t beaten Jordan on Expert or anything), so I’m wondering why this seems to be so easy. I don’t get the point of the boss battles if you can just beat em pretty fast if you know how.

I do like the improvement on the HOPO's though. I'm doing a lot better at solos on hyperspeed than I did in GH2. I really like playing “Even Flow” (although I really thought it was going to be harder than it is in the game), “Lay Down”, “Bulls On Parade”, and “Paint It Black” so far. The gameplay is a lot smoother than GH2 so that’s definitely a plus.

I think I might just play it a bit more than trade it in and put the money towards Rock Band. I had way more fun playing Rock Band at the demo station than I’m having playing GHIII.

What do you guys think? I’d like to hear your opinions. I’m wondering if any of you are also experiencing what I’m feeling with GH3. Hopefully you guys will be nice.

*prepares for the onslaught that will commence after this message is posted*

Lol but seriously, lets have a good discussion about the game (including both positive and negative aspects of it).

[duckbutt86]

I haven't finished the game yet, but I'd say GHII is my favorite out of the whole series so far. I expected that I wouldn't like it as much as the previous installment.

The boss idea is kind of cool, but the "attacks" are just really lame. I'm not sure how they could have executed it in a more realistic manner, but it's so silly, it's rather pointless because you can only beat the boss with properly timed attacks, it doesn't really matter how well you play.

When Lay Down was announced, I knew this was going to be one of my favorite songs on the game, and it didn't disappoint. It's a fun song.

As stated earlier, the game is a bit smoother, which is nice. My eyes used to be strained playing GH, now I can play much longer and not notice negative affects, which is great.

Also, I agree the bonus songs suck. I love Metalocalypse, so it was pretty cool seeing Dethklok's Thunderhorse appear on GHII, heck, there were at least five bonus songs I really liked from GHII. but there isn't anything I'm too thrilled to see listed. It's cool to see In Flames, but the new stuff is meh, and same goes for Lacuna Coil. I wouldn't have cared about LC so much if they hadn't picked the worst song off their worst album, I don't like Karmacode too much, but there are some ok songs on that disc.

It's a decent game, but it's obvious Harmonix was the creative backbone for GH, and now that Neversoft is working on it, it's not quite the same.

[Jack_Harvard]

I'm not horridly disappointed, but I do think it could have been much better. I personally think the ho/pos are nice, but they seem kind of unrealistic in some spots, where you're basically playing long stretches of the song without strumming (My Name Is Jonas). Also, I feel like the difficulty level is much steeper than the previous titles. When playing the game on Medium or Hard, I kept feeling like the charts were on the next difficulty. And I really don't like the Battles. I mean, I love the songs, and I love being able to unlock the guitarists (especially Tom Morello), but I just don't like the idea of essentially fighting this other character instead of just playing the music. It doesn't feel like it fits with the rest of the game.

[DannyL]

I like the game mainly because its well just another guitar hero, but where the game fails to impress is the art direction. The whole "realistic" look failed miserably. Lars looks dumb, Izzy looks like a Tranny, they deleted some of the more fun characters (The British guy, Eddie, and Pandora) Axel looks old, Casey is about 10 years younger, and the whole cast is jsut completely different, and i realize there were changes from GH 1 to GH 2 but they were mostly better. Funnier cartooney art was the way to go. And i saw the create a rocker with Rock Band and must say i fell in love with it at 1st site. I woul love using my own rocker over ruined characters i used to love.

On the pluss side half of the sound track is relly good. Songs like Paint it Black, Lay Down, Number of the Beast, One, Slow Ride, Mississippi Queen, and The Metal really enhanced the game for me, but it seems the music is either all really popular or really hard. They didn't go for just "fun" songs to play just hard or popular sour choice i must say.

[Rev0lver]

i was actually pretty impressed. i didn't think i would like the game after playing the demo, but i did. sure there's some annoying songs to play(holiday in cambodia), some horrible vocal covers(story of my life), and some bad notecharts(FCPREMIX, My Curse) but the game overall is fun with alot of great tracks to play.

[jonfitzsimon]

i really like the game. I am having trouble on the final boss challenge on hard mode. It is extremely difficult for me and i couldnt imagine that there is a harder mode (expert). I wish it was a little bit more beatable and if i wanted the hardest challenge of my life, i would play it on expert mode. But overall, even with the guitar controller problems, i still like the game.

[ZkDotNet]

I have mixed feelings, but most of the negatives aren't necessarily about the game itself, but about their absurdly horrible job at quality assurance. The list of bugs in this game is rather large for both the software and the hardware.

I find battle mode to be fun as multiplayer, but I felt it was totally out of place in the career. It should've just been another multiplayer option.

Apples' blog post summed it up nicely; it's missing the Harmonix touch. But, in the end, I'm still having fun. Especially multiplayer (I have two guitars now, woo.), local and online.

[The_Wurm]

I only have a grade 2 reading level, so maybe this thread isn't for me, but to answer the thread's topic...


....the only thing im disappointed in is the lack of Crazy Train(because pretty much everyone and they're mother asked for it) and no online co-op career.

[Rock_Starman]

I'm not dissapointed but I had low expectations.

[Angry_Games]

I dig GH3 now that I have a controller that doesn't "double strum".

I think a lot of us are going to be disappointed in GH3 for the sheer fact that we are here on a Rock Band forum, awaiting a game that is Guitars PLUS drums PLUS singing (mic) PLUS online bands PLUS entire album downloads PLUS who knows what else.

When you know that is coming (at least that is what is promised us by Harmonix, and I pray they deliver!) and then think about Guitar Hero...how impressive can GH3 be in it's limited scope? Not much compared to what Rock Band is hyped to be.

Beyond that however, I love the songs, it's good ol' Guitar Hero that I love, and if there is any one real disappointment it's the 'boss battles' as they seem contrived and beating Lou for a lot of people, myself included, is nearly impossible...an obstacle that shouldn't be there.

Another huge disappointment is having to trudge through a set list to open up songs for quickplay. When I plug in Rock Band, I want to just go straight to quickplay and pick any song right off the bat. Career, co-op, battle, whatever, sure I don't mind trudging through each tier. But when we play quickplay or co-op, I want to be able to play all the songs.

I can't say it feels sterile and lifeless, it feels like Guitar Hero to me. We knew it would not have that Harmonix aura about it, and maybe I've accepted that it isn't a Harmonix production anymore so I'm ok with the change to the point I don't really notice it. It is, after all, still Guitar Hero. Looks like GH. Plays like GH. Sounds like GH. Has a lot more features than the GH we know and love, but Harmonix would have evolved the game to that eventually anyway.

Oh wait, they went beyond that and went with a full band heh.

[Sophrosyne]

I'm not dissapointed but I had low expectations.

I played the demo and thought it was okay. I think maybe I did have higher expectations for it and got disappointed in the end.

I think this kinda explains how GH3 feels (to me at least):

http://dubiousquality.blogspot.com/2007/10/guitar-hero-iii-demo-impressions-360.html

and

http://dubiousquality.blogspot.com/2007/10/gh-iii-demo-one-more-note.html

Especially when he says, "Aside from the various things that pull you out of the immersion in GH III and make it harder to notice the music, I get exactly the opposite feeling in GH3: I'm noticing that it doesn't sound right. Even when I'm playing the master recording of Even Flow, the guitar line doesn't sound right. Has to be right, but it doesn't sound right."

This happened to me as well. I swore that Even Flow was going to be harder than what it was on GH3. I felt like something was missing.

[DrAndonuts]

Yeah, I got to play the XBOX 360 version, and I was left pretty cold. I put a review up on GameFAQs:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox360/review/R119117.html

But, yeah, I was disappointed overall.

[TheRocker]

I really cant critize Gh3 since i dont even own it but still its too gimicky now its all about boss battles and less about playing some music even its just on a plastic guitar , the characters are.. how should i say it horrible grotesque garish , i am flabberghasted to what gh franchise has become some people like it but i have come to love the way it used to be before so i say goodbye to you Gh3 and i Welcome you RockBand.

[Nfsjunkie91]

Not at all, the boss battles are fun, battle mode is more fun than I anticipated, and despite the fact the characters look completely different, they're still pretty well designed. Except Izzy Sparks. Oh god. Ew. Aside from that, I find it really fun, and a satisfying experience.

[Thrashdragon]

I was somewhat disappointed by the demo yet pleasantly surprised by the full version. It's not as good as it could have been, but it's still a helluva fun game.

have you seen Izzy's "Peacock" outfit that you can purchase? How game was that?

[dragulaAC]

For me, at first glance the note charts looked way harder than what I've seen in the past and I didn't really think I'd be beating many songs on expert. However, after playing for a little while I'm halfway through expert and i've 5 or 4 star'd every song on my first try so far. They made it pretty easy to hit notes now as well as allow HO/PO's to count. I've played the GH series since it's inception so I know what I can do and what I just can't. And I'm hitting parts that I know I shouldn't be able to at my current ability.

Sooo, i guess they made the songs much harder, but they cancelled it out by making it much easier to hit your notes.

I actually beat Slash on expert on my second try. The battles are nothing more than just storing 3 power-up's until your opponent gets to a really hard part.


Yah, also the few times i look at the background, the drummer looks like he's doing 'the robot'. The singer has insanely exagerated mouth movements. You can definitely tell overall that it's just not really the same game as the first 2.

(Just for the record, I'm not singling you out..you just happen to be the one that said it in this thread :D)

Anyways, I'm getting moderately annoyed (at least as annoyed as someone could logically get on an internet forum) at the number of times this has been mentioned as though it's something Neversoft did as a bad change to the game. Every GH to date has been the same, you have to play the career to unlock songs before you can play them in quick play.

I understand where you're coming from. I guess for me it was the fact that I didn't like most of the lower tier songs. When I started with GH2, I didn't like some of them but as I kept on playing I ended up really liking them. With GH3 however, I'm not getting the same feeling with the songs.

I guess it all depends on one's taste for the songs. I got bored with them after beating Slash. I think I'll just try to beat the game and maybe trade it in or something. I'm still considering giving it another chance but I'm just not feeling it.

[Angry_Games]

ya I know it has been something since GH1, but the major thorn is when we just want to pick up the game (lol right after bringing it home for the first time) and having to trudge through multiple set lists just to unlock songs to play together or in quickplay.

I'm already tired of it. When I see the back of the box says this song or other song we been wanting, and then I find out to be able to play that song with my gf I we have to get all the way to the 6th tier...which means trudging through multiple songs we can't stand (or even having to trudge through good, fun songs), well it just sorta irritates me to no end.

As I said, I'm ok with having to unlock sets/tiers/songs through career and the store and such, but for out-of-the-box quickplay/co-op quickplay...I want to be able to play any song that the game has.


oh, and none of this GH3 nonsense like "you can't play Devil Went Down To Georgia unless you play it co-op"...

[robmandark]

i think i read a review from someone on here that said it feels more like they are playing a game wtiht he song as opposed to playing a song, which is reflected in the fact that harmonix is musicians and neversoft isnt. im incredibly dissapointed in the note tracks of the songs i was looking forward to most. fcpremix...hammer on...ever?

[Angry_Games]

I'm seriously disappointed to find, as I play farther into the game, that it's basically Tony Hawk with a guitar and music.

Do we need Boss Battles? Do we need all the things that Tony Hawk games have?

No, not really. You can definitely tell this isn't a Harmonix product anymore...

Quoted for the truth , its not the Guitar Hero i love

[Shredder]

I don't think the change in developers made a difference. It's extremely similar to GH2, but much better. The overall look of the game, the songs, and online play are all huge improvements. I don't see why we can't like GH3 and Rock Band on this forum.

[Simonious]

My Name Is Jonas
Tom Morello
Bulls On Parade
Ruby
Cult of Personality






...were just about the only things that did NOT disappoint. Sad, eh? Also, a few decent songs did not get mention, but a LOT are just bloody awful.

[Weeksy]

For me, I won't get my hands on it until Wednesday next week, but I am really looking forward to playing it.

For the first time, with both "GH3" & "Rock Band", I know & love 99% of the tracks on the setlists, whereas with "GH 1 & 2" (never picked up the 80's, reviews really put me off) - I had a few favourites, but overall found most of the bonus tracks more entertaining than the tiered songs (with a few exceptions of course).

But with me, there's a lot of music to look forward to playing with - and then hopefully by the time "Rock Band" lands in Oz early next year, there will already be a reasonable amount of DLC to make it even better.

[HPLabonte]

man, the seeker is weird to play, man

[monlienNH3]

List of disappointments:

1. Notechart inconsistency. Some charts that should be hard, aren't that hard. Some that shouldn't be hard are harder for no reason at all. It's like they had 4 different chart guys for the expert difficulty. One who knew what he was doing. One that knew what he was doing yet wanted to make it harder just to do it. Another that has no understanding in how real guitar works. Another that wanted to make difficult charts regardless of whether they made musical sense of not. Not saying that the game was even that difficult, I only have Raining Blood left to beat on expert, and 5*'d almost every song on sightread before the 7th tier. But Harmonix's charts always made musical sense - these are far less consistent in that respect. Where HMX picked harder songs as the career went on, it seems Neversoft chose to just make the charts harder as you progress through the game. Maybe I'm being harsh, but it just seems that way.

2. Why are there dancing girls on stage everywhere my all-girl co-op band plays?

3. Frame-rate issues in a rhythm game = unacceptable.

4. Leaderboards are borderline broken at the moment - really miss the GH2 leaderboards. I hope Harmonix does this right for Rock Band.

5. When playing Co-op, there are no longer individual stats. So who exactly ended that notestreak? Especially since both sides of the screen shake when you miss a note.

6. The lead singer (male) is hard to look at. They messed up my fav character Judy.

7. Have never liked the idea of certain songs being unlocked only through co-op.

With all that said, I really like the Les Paul controller. The song I wanted to play most, Metallica "One", is one of the best charts in the game. I am thoroughly enjoying the game - have been playing it nonstop since I got it Sunday morning. And I know I will continue to play it nonstop until November 20th. After that, I'm not so sure how much I'll be playing it. But I'll surely be all over GH4. I can't help it.

[RkBndDrmr]

I was disappointed. I want to love both GH and RB but GH3 is different.

I could play a few songs blind in past GH games. The charts fit the music. Try doing that in GH3. Note charts = Messed up.

Although this title has a few gems, the set list as a whole was not my thing.

The encore buzz kill!! In GH2 the crowd went wild, and cheered (with a slight loading pause) when you got an encore. The crowd wants an encore and all you get now is a little sign that says "yay" kind of kills the mood.

Keeping track of high scores took a leap backwards

Battle mode is dumb

Is it me or (I got the PS2 version) does the "YOU ROCK" sign that pops up at the end of a song look like it was made for the C64?

Do I need to talk about Muppets?

The new guitar was nice...till I played RB at BB

I bought it, I'm playing it (for a few weeks anyway) and it is still GH. Maybe I'm just spoiled by what RB offers. GH made me drool..GH2 was a nice improvement..GH3? The 20th can't come soon enough.

[logicalnoise]

the only charts aI'm digging so far(though I haven't played through all the bonus tracks)

Pride and joy
My name is jonas
Ruby
One
Impulse
Tom morello battle
bulls on parade

thats about it.

[jonfitzsimon]

I dont know about everyone else, but i really enjoyed the battles. The final one was a pain in the ass, but it made it that much more awesome when i finally beat it. Anyways, having Tom Morello and Slash write two new "songs" for the battle was an awesome idea. I really enjoy Tom's.

I'm not dissapointed at all and I think it's great considering that it's made by a company who hasn't done this before. The're not Harmonix we know that for a fact, so you really shouldn't be comparing the two. I'm sure that GH4 will be better, so long as they don't add other instruments in my guitar hero.

Why wouldn't we compare the two? It's nearly impossible not to. You need to compare GH to GH II to GH III, and you definately need to compare GH III to Rock Band. They are all in the same genre of game, they are going to get compared constantly.

Even though there are a lot of flaws in my eyes, I still find GH III enjoyable, even with lack of a wammy bar, which is making getting through the final boss battle nearly impossible. I love that the boss battles are original songs, but I don't like the fact that you can't play them in quickplay.

True, but when it comes down to people making it Hmx vs. Neversoft they seem oblivious to the fact that it was their first time making a GH. There were a few bad notecharts in Rock's the 80's too due to the "artificial difficulty inflation" which many people don't believe existed with Hmx.

[Sophrosyne]

lol what a shame =T

I only play the handful of songs I do like, then I get bored with it.
I'm too disinterested to beat the entire game =T

[logicalnoise]

I'm starting expert career mode tonight(I always do hard first to just get through it and unlock everything). Some note charts are very annoying(the queens of the stone age track) but bearable others are fun and very well done(pride and joy). The point is It's GH and will likely always be fun unless someone changes the formula too much.

[Nitz13]

I know it some of this has been mentioned in earlier replies, but..

is anyone else annoyed at the on stage antics????

like seriously the song hasn't even started and Casey is already playing her guitar wtf???? same goes with breaks in songs like "When You Were Young" and its just the Bass playing

also the the male singer looks god awful and as mentioned before the Drummer looks robotic.

and the Female Dancers that come on stage are just stupid and annoying, especially when they are supposedly dancing Erotically to "Bulls On Parade" lol

as for the storyline, I've yet to figure out why they play at a prison, and why Slash would decide to battle you at a prison??? He is a "Legend of Rock" didn't think he'd be challenging you at a prison


But overall Its an Enjoyable game that will hold me over until Rockband is released.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

i'm not disappointed just pissed off at how the live in japan set list is gonna be impossible for me to get by on expert

[JB4GDI]

6. The lead singer (male) is hard to look at.

Seriously, everyone I know has said the same thing. He seems to make people want to punch him in the face.

Other than that, I'm really kind of sad at the song list. Wheras with GH2 I can literally play 30+ songs over and over again and not get bored (and a lot of these were songs I had never heard before), that number on GH3 for me is like 5. I can even list them:

Cliffs of Dover (best song in the freaking game)
Through the Fire and the Flames
Paint it Black
Herre Kommt Alex
My Name is Jonas

The only other complaint I had was how sloppy the hammer-on and pull-off recognition seems to be. Like, I understand that it's supposed to feel more like a real guitar, but I liked the timing windows in GH2, and I thought it added to the challenge.

So yeah, I'm glad my friend bought it. I'm planning on saving my money for Rock Band.

-Jaime

[Rocker2]

I'm not dissapointed GH3 is a good game in my opinion.

[Bullseye]

Alright, I finally got to play GH3. Don't think I have much to add that hasn't already been said and yeah it's a bit of a let down.

The setlist, I thought was rather lack-luster. The songs I was really looking forward to turned out to be decent but it was only a handful (Paint It Black, by far is the best song to play in this game - fun and awesome).

Note charts were inconsistent at best. Someone hit the nail on the head, suggesting that they must have been done by at least three different people w/ completely different and contradicting theories on how to make songs. I found some of the hardest songs to be in the the first 3 tiers- most of the others I was hitting 4 and 5 stars first time through.

Boss Battles are such a small part of the game, that I don't even consider them a factor. I can't believe how worked up people get over them. They could easily have been left out, but I'm sure Neversoft wanted to add their mark to this franchise. Bottom line....who cares?

Unlockable songs for the most part could have been left out. The one I was really looking forward to was RUBY, but I found it boring to play (love the song).

My final take... I got the opportunity to play someone else's copy, and I'm not thinking it's worth it to buy this one. It's a decent filler until Rock Band, but I felt the 80s version was better.

[jonfitzsimon]

OMG. The 80's version was tha harra. GH3 blows it out of the water. Everyone has their own opinion when it comes to setlists and i hope that is what you are talking about. Because the game itself was actually a step back from GH2. But with GH3 you get a bunch more songs, online play and much more.

[Jimmik]

Having played the full game for nearly a week now, I can say the best way to enjoy this game is to not associate it with other guitar hero games. I like it much more when I reassure myself of this fact over and over. Plus, if I play Number of the Beast or Welcome to the Jungle or Impulse (AWESOME bonus song) on full blast that helps too :D

[jonfitzsimon]

i will have to check out impulse.

[G_tarRoCK3R]

i will have to check out impulse.

Defiantly a great bonus song. You SHOULD check it out :p

Alot of the bonus songs on GHIII are mark on, but another bunch just suck balls. *Cough* Take this life and fall of troy *cough cough* they are too fast for my liking.;)

[battle_axe_of_doom]

finally made it to that last teir i suck wayyyyy too much to be able to pass these songs. the best i've ever done on cliffs of dover was 15%, number of the beast 53%, and like 9% on raining blood. one i'll never be able to do :\

[blue_dragonzero]

Battleaxe you're a noob! jk! :D I can't beat lou on expert yet but I'm trying.

[DShiz1029]

GH3 isnt bad...definately could use some improvement, but Im only playing it as a casual GH player, not a more serious one. My only real gripe is the fact that the detachable fretboard somewhat affects the responsiveness of the buttons. I love this LP guitar, but it would fit better with Rock Band since Rock Band's Hard and Expert modes arent that harsh like GH3 is.

[Nilsen31]

i will have to check out impulse.


Yea that's the best bonus song...

came out of nowhere for me.

[jonfitzsimon]

I just checked it out and the song is decent. I thought it was going to be a full song, but i was mistaken. There were no lyrics. But overall, to me, its just decent. And if thats the best bonus song, i am in for a real dissapointment...

[tf5_bassist]

finally made it to that last teir i suck wayyyyy too much to be able to pass these songs. the best i've ever done on cliffs of dover was 15%, number of the beast 53%, and like 9% on raining blood. one i'll never be able to do :\

I'm in the same boat as you, man... I just beat Number of the Beast (3 stars only, but it's beat!), but I'm right around 10-13% on Cliffs of Dover, and around 34% on Raining Blood.

Man... f*ck those songs. worst. notecharts. ever.

Except for cliffs of dover. the note chart is great, with the exception of that severely f*cked up hammer-on section at around 10%.

Other than that, GH3's pretty decent so far, but I'm not digging the bonus songs so far, but I haven't played a lot of 'em.

And a note about the Les Paul... The strum bar gets very loose very quick when you play using a pick. Mine's loose on downstrokes, but still fairly snug on upstrokes. wtf.

[predtime]

lol i must admit, my expectations for GH3 were pretty low, but GH3 exceeded my expectations. . .

now how much of a feat that was, I don't know, but it's something nonetheless.

I don't know. I enjoy it, but it's not what it should/could have been.


For right now, i'm just using it as a pre-entertainment to rock band.

And a note about the Les Paul... The strum bar gets very loose very quick when you play using a pick. Mine's loose on downstrokes, but still fairly snug on upstrokes. wtf.


I noticed that too!! Dead serious I thought it was only in my head.

Thank god it's not just in my head, either lol...

My strum bar gets more and more loose every day, sadly. Especially since I practice-mode played TTFAF three times last night while drunk. Which is rather fun.

for the record, "Raining Blood" made me get drunk. eff that song in the a.

Edit: Although a few nights ago I did finally beat "Cliffs of Dover". I've done it once. That's it. The scales of death still get me constantly.
