THE Guitar Hero 3 Thread

[CKDragon]

More fun things about the terrible achievements:
I read on achieve360points.com online earlier that in order to get the "All Guitar" achievement in this game you also have to buy all the bonus guitars. That includes the bonus guitar you get for five-starring every song on the expert level. So I guess I should forget about that one. In GH2 there was a similar achievement, but it was attainable by buying just the regular guitars available for purchase at the beginning of the game.

Also, there's an easy way to get the "Complete the Hard/Expert Career using a Standard Controller" if you've already beaten it with a guitar. You can just start up the game with a standard controller and log into your previously-beaten Hard Career setlist. The achievement automatically unlocks!

I normally don't care enough to glitch for achievements. I'm not much of an achievement whore, but I just had to see if it would work and it did. I'm preemptively begging for everyone's forgiveness in breaking the sanctity of the gamerscore system. But what a lazy developer.

I really don't like the achievement list for this game. To get all the achievements you would have to play through the game like 10 times. Also there are too many achievements that are too hard to get IMO.

Like you said I'm not normally for "cheating" to get GS, but with this list I don't feel so bad about it.

You have to beat them in coop career (offline)

Well that's BS... cheats here I come

me too, yay.

And I was able to get my fingers to go numb trying to beat that shitty aerosmith song on hard. I hate arosmith and the tab on that song was crap.

 

[Kev]

oh and the other day i managed to get the meet you maker achievement, after playing only 3 online matches. And I only beat the guy 1 out of 3 songs and still got it.

Kev, I don't see your tag in the 360 gamertag threads. What is it?

We're all gunning for you now... :evil:

 

[gorcorps]

I have the meet your maker achievement as well if anybody wants a go

 

[blurredvision]

So you only have to beat someone else who has that achievement to get it yourself?

allegedly... otherwise getting it would be nigh impossible.

Finally got my account linked! Drysocket76 in the tour group.

 

[BornStar]

I got my account linked as well and am currently in fifth in the tour group.

I noticed you had ~900 groupies almost immediately. Are all your stats updated already?

I was linked up on Monday or Tuesday but the songs scores that are posting now are from times that I played 4-5 days ago. Congrats on the temporary lead, however.

 

[Modeps]

I think they're still trickle processing the stats... every once in a while over the past day, my groupies have crept upwards... it still doesnt say I beat Medium though.

 

[toekramp]

anyone with a wii get their account to link yet? I set mine up for days ago, linked to my VIP code, and have seen nothing. I went back to the Wii menu and the VIP code isn't listed anymore, so I assume it took on the website... but it gives no indication.

 

[abaez]

Finally got mine linked after a week of seeing token not found. Been playing alot this week so it'll be cool to see my stats.

 

[gorcorps]

Got mine to finally link up too. Man that took a while...

Mine has been linked since last Sunday for awhile I was the only one's whose stats were updating. I take it they didn't fix the site while I was gone over the weekend.

*edit*
Looks like it's updating my recent songs now and that's about it.

 

[gorcorps]

I'm one Slayer song and a battle with Lou away from completing expert. I'm so close but I know this'll take me a while.

 

[oznerol]

I don't know how any of you beat the Devil on hard. I can't even practice the song?

These boss battles are retarded. Stop with the power ups and crap and just let me play the damn song.

 

[CPA]

I think the boss battles are a neat addition.

And who let these ringers into the Sochl group? They've knocked me down from 4th to like 14th.

haha QFT. I was first now I'm not even on the first page. I knew that would happen once the accounts updated. I can't play on expert

 

[Queasy]

FYI - This week's episode of South Park - Guitar Queer-O

Stan and Kyle are hooked on Guitar Hero. But Stan's superior skills on the video game damage his friendship with Kyle.

I thought you have to beat a creator of the game? So once I get it I can give it out, kinda like an std?
