Because, It's Midnite by Limozeen is the biggest piece of shit chart. 81% notes cleared, 100% outside the solo. 5 starred it.

You would think that a song that is by a fake band that is probably paying you to advertise their music on would at least be able to have any shred of audio quality. I have never seen any more BS solo in my life.

And it's the fucking Tier 2 Encore what the christ? This is more Encore worthy than The Scorpions, Asia, Eddie Money and White Lion?

Fuck 80's and if you buy it, you're a retard.

seriously just looking at the set list shows that harmonix totally phoned this one in while working on Rock Band

so many good bands are represented by bad songs

there's really nothing on the set list that makes me go "fuck yeah this rocks" like the last two games did. the closest ones are radar love and ballroom blitz, but both versions are covers of covers.

now that i think about it holy diver's cool i guess but seriously harmonix. just seriously.

If you've paid or are going to pay full retail for this you're an idiot.

This has never been a game I've looked at and thought, "Hmm, this is worth buying." In fact, I knew from the start that it would only be worth warezing.

Fyi, Radar Love has a terrible chart.

The Warrior, Turning Japanese and Hold on Loosely weren't too bad, and I like the re-skinned Blackout Bar is pretty neat. Most of the costumes for characters are pretty boring and there's only like half of the ones from II. Pandora's is pretty cool.

That's everything positive I have to say about this game and after next song I'm halfway done. (just fyi, I 5 starred everything while completely BSing the solos like i normally do, so black and sean you guys should like not even bother srsly.)

I'll get the game for songs like Play With Me and Wrathchild. Though I really suspect I'll only enjoy 5-10 songs, max.

The first half of What I Like About You made me turn it off. I now realize that the way they will make things hard now when it's just a rhythm based song in a high tier is give it tri-chords up the fucking ass.

I can't play this anymore.

I imagine Hold On Loosely isn't that bad of a song but I fucking hate the song itself. It's so overplayed on every ClearChannel classic rock station. I used to hear it every three hours - at the rarest - when I lived in GA.

I don't know why I was excited for 80s music in Guitar Hero honestly. Yes, I love hair flair and such, but most of the songs are really easy aside from one or two chicken-picking solos.

My bad.

Extreme's "Play With Me" is such an awesome song though.

Suuuuuuck. Maybe it will end up being thrown into the downloadable areas, so you can get just those songs you love.

And how IS th cover of Play With Me anyway?

Yeah, at least Play With Me is the last Encore song. I also hear that Police Truck is pretty good. (I went to bed after Tier 4)

Hahah, Los Angeles is more "Spam on the downstrum" than I Wanna Be Sedated in GH1.

Also, Ain't Nothin' But a Good Time is another awful "tri chords are hard! we wanna put ____ in a high tier because they're a popular band! let's make songs harder than they actually are by making ridiculous chord combos " songs.

Next up, Wrathchild.

Edit - Ok, Wrathchild was awesome. Very very easy to 5 star though. Not really because of the song, but because of the low score required. I got like 131k first run and still got it.

Electric Eye is fun and hard, Police Truck and Seventeen are both cool, Caught in a Mosh is

Trying to beat Play With Me atm. It's pretty tough at the end.

Edit - That Electric Eye score is horseshit. I did 5k better than it and 4 starred.

I thought stars were based on note percent and not scores, or am I wrong?

You are wrong. There's a specific score cutoff for every song.

Conspiracy theory:

Harmonix is trying to sabotage the Guitar Hero name with a shitty half-assed encore to make Rock Band look more appealing

Possible, but entirely underhanded and not really like Harmonix. They seem really devoted to their fans. Not to mention, Rock Band doesn't need the extra push for attention. The game speaks well enough for itself.

I couldn't tell you what the real reason might be. But perhaps they were simply too busy focusing on Rock Band to be bothered with putting their 100% into 80s edition?

It's bad, but it's not "abysmal never make another game again," bad. For me, it was purely "Disappointing bad." I know Harmonix is capable of a lot more, and they just couldn't be bothered.

One thing I do enjoy about this release is they clearly gave 80s music the amount of effort it deserves.

Harsh.

Fair, but harsh.

I stand by my prior prediction regarding interns and new hires being responsible for this game. If they'd put their full effort into it it would have been a lot better

in other news GH3 will have Dragonforce (source)
