Anywho, post thoughts on game now that it's out. Achievements and the like.
My chart currently on scorehero.com. I have some work to do. Been unlocking stuff before going into expert too much. All the expert scores were done today.
Best Song in Game = Jessica - The Allman Brothers Band
Funnest Song = Rock This Town - Stray Cats
Worst Song = Institutionalized - Suicidal Tendencies
Most Physically Painful Song = Freya - The Sword
Best Character = Lars Umlaut
Best New Costume = Judy Nails' Snakes
Best Guitar = Cherry Swirl Finish
Best Venue =Motherfucking Stonehenge
I somehow pulled out a 100% on that song first try. Which brings up something interesting. When you 100% a song, the game gives you a special ranking. Whereas normally when you get 5 stars, they look like 5 drawn stars and shit, if you get a 100%, they show up as gold stars.

I'm #1 on Cherry Pie - Medium. 8)
Pandora's new leathers outfit is the bomb diggity. I break Lars out for all the heavier songs, but otherwise Pandora runs the bass/rhythm for Trapped Under Ice.
Jailbait Fantasy here.
I haven't gotten GH2 yet, though. Need money.

I thought I saw a Gadani in the SA GH2 thread.
Yeah.
e: Who are you on SA? Gadani fucked around with this message on 11-07-2006 at 11:33 PM.
I am no different.

Greenlit spewed forth this undeniable truth:
Freya is a great song to listen to, but absolutely horrible to play.Pandora's new leathers outfit is the bomb diggity. I break Lars out for all the heavier songs, but otherwise Pandora runs the bass/rhythm for Trapped Under Ice.
The Sword makes songs that don't sound like trash? Color me surprised. I forget what album of theirs I had listened to, but it was pretty rough!

Mr. Gainsborough was listening to Cher while typing:
Oh yeah. Band names! Under what name do you shred?Jailbait Fantasy here.
The Shattered Hand.
.. It sounded okay at 3 am, but it kinda grew on me. Wish I had the money to buy it right now OH GOD. (I listened to Jessica and wet myself)

Alaan impressed everyone with:

He's lying. Freya is boring, repetitive, and downright lame.
Also Rock This Town is only the funnest song on Hard. It's ARGH on Expert.
C-c-c-c-c-combo breaker... 
But ohgod it's fast.

Willias had this to say about Jimmy Carter:
I need to learn how to do Hammer-ons/Pull-offs better so I can actually play Less Talk More Rokk on Expert. It sounds pretty cool, and I like the fact that there's actually very little strumming in it if you can play it right.But ohgod it's fast.
Play Jessica or Freebird on Expert in practice mode, slowed down to next-to-slowest.
My scorehero sheet is here, however, Guitar Hero 2 scores will not be posted until I go pick the game up tomorrow. Alberd fucked around with this message on 11-08-2006 at 12:28 AM.
If the HO/PO system of 2 was in 1, I would have beaten Cowboys by now.
Fucking cowboys. :/

Greenlit had this to say about Optimus Prime:
You can't beat Cowboys? :vtard:
Nope. I have no clue how to do the main riff. I have it set in my head to press my fingers the wrong way. 
G, R, G, R, G, R, Y, B, Y, B, O I think it goes.
You want to play on green for all the green, obv, then shift to red halfway through.
Whatever. I'm hoping that with enough practice in GH2, I'll go back and finish GH1.
oh, and my band is Berzerker The Berserker fucked around with this message on 11-08-2006 at 12:57 AM.

Mr. Gainsborough had this to say about dark elf butts:
Oh, I know how I'm supposed to do it. My fingers are too downsy to figure it out though.Whatever. I'm hoping that with enough practice in GH2, I'll go back and finish GH1.
For me it just took practice until I managed to hit the majority of the main riff.
Once I got that down, I 3-starred it no prob.
Also managed to 5 star all songs on Hard in GH1 like a week ago.
Institutionalized is a horrible, horrible song and I hope they never bother with those type of songs ever again.
Jordan is absolute rape, but I love listening to it. Can only get about 60% of the way through that beast. 
Soy Bomb and Push Push Lady Lightning are also sweet indies to look for. Elephant Bones is just groovy. 
Killing in the Name remains one of my favorite songs to play. As well as Search and Destroy. Jessica, of course, is awesome as well.
Just blasted (slowly) my way through Easy mode tonight, unlocking the two guitars. I might hit up medium later this week, if I have the patience for it.

But I haven't picked up GH2 yet. Still waiting until I can afford a 360 and then I'll get it on that. It's hard supporting two people on one paycheck

Blindy. probably says this to all the girls:
So what makes this game better/worse than ddr?
GH has full length songs and you don't get sweaty playing it. And GH has good music, which is always a plus.

I might just be an out-of-shape fatty, but this has not been true for me.

Blindy. attempted to be funny by writing:

It's just better in every way, shape and form, sry japafags. Stop at a Best Buy and give the display a try; they should still have them set up with full versions of the first game.

You're an out of shape fatty.

So quoth Naimah:
Yes, you are horribly out of shape then.
Yeah, there's no reason to get sweaty playing GH.

The logic train ran off the tracks when Greenlit said:

Freebird will probably do the trick. Tried that a couple of times last night. It'll definitely build some strength in my left hand, that's for sure.
Though I think Carry Me Home on Hard will work pretty well too.
Edit: Oh, and there's something I don't like about the new HO/PO system. You can't really strum HO/POs anymore like you could in GH1. Willias fucked around with this message on 11-08-2006 at 01:37 PM.
