Well the problem is, since you hit only red first, the game registers the hit as a red hammer-on, since orange wasn't held down

    The proper way to do HOPO chords for this song would to play the green note, release the fretboard, and then press red and orange at the same time, instead at different times. That's why people claim the HOPO chords are broken
    Sliding on regular HOPOs doesn't punish you, why should HOPO chords?

    The window isn't the same. I agree.

    There is something about this game. I've noticed notes dropping and **** like that too.

    The hammer-on chords seem to work sometimes and on certain songs better than others I've noticed too... I don't have any specific songs, but eh.

    I have noticed notes dropping too. I figured my batteries were dieing, and since I don't have new ones at this time, I figured that was the problem. Now I think I might try RB 2 and see if I drop notes there or not.
    Wish List...
    ☑Summer Of 69 (Lego:RB)
    ☑Free Bird (Rock Band 3)
    ☑Every Rose Has It's Thorn (DLC)

    ☐Hotel California
    ☐November Rain
    ☐Youth Gone Wild

    That's exactly what makes them broken. Would you release the strings on a real guitar before hammering to the next ones, or would you slide?

    Well it is called a "Hammer On" for a reason. Not a "Slide On"

    But ya, I could see where it would piss people off. You get used to one thing, and now it completely screws you.

    Im not positive that all songs are like this though. I can't remember witch song it was, but there were some HOPO chords on the bass part, and I had no problem sliding.

    The thing is, the hammer ons are used for slide notes too, especially with HO chords.

    Wow you know nothing about me at all, I don't even care about FCs that much but when it's ruined by a hammer-on that should of worked, it's just annoying.
