[Multiplatform] Guitar Hero III

"Through the Fire and Flames" is a riot in Expert. So far only 79% completed...=(

Spoiler:

"One" is in the final tier.
And I hate battle, its all just pure luck.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

"Through the Fire and Flames" is tough for me right this moment because my hands are hurting from extensive playing. I should listen to the 15-minute break warnings :P.

Anyway, I actually thought TtFaF was going to be easier than Jordan, but I guess I was wrong. Either that or I just completely suck right now, considering I eventually beat Jordan like 10 times, 3000 points away from 5 starring. I got to 83% just a little while ago. Close to actually finishing it, but not enough to pass the dual solo (or whatever it is, I can't remember).

As for co-op only encore songs, I don't remember because I was disappointed in not being able to play TtFaF by progressing through co-op. The rumors are probably correct though, since my younger brother and I went through it on expert and we got some songs that aren't in single player...and now that I think about it, I dunno if you can play them in career SP.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

::breathes a sigh of relief::

Through the Fire and Flames: 100% completed on EXPERT*

3 STARS

Actually passed it yesterday, but I did it again today. My score sucks though, so I guess I shouldn't be too happy. =/

Anyway, I think I'll pick up the 360 version sometime, maybe. If I do that, then I will also get the Rock Band bundle to have a full set without having to get another guitar seperately.

Edit: To clear things up, I'm not a great GH player. I've lost at 1% many times in TtFaF. Not really anymore though.

*This is how it is noted after you lose; completion of the song.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Whoops, guess I should have said I 3 starred it. >_>
Its pretty obvious I can't get 100% notes hit. There's like 3700-ish notes.

Anyway, yeah, I suck.

I'm going to edit just so I don't confuse more people...

How ya doing, buddy?

Actually, for some strange reason, the game seems to stop momentarily when you use your star power (PS2 version). It's kinda weird. I don't really know if it affects much, but I messed up a lot during Raining Blood because it stopped for a bit after using SP. Could just be me sucking. Not sure if it's because I have a burned copy (!). There's a good chance that's why it spazzes out.

Before I forget to mention it, Co-op encore songs cannot be played in Single Player Career, but can be played in Quick-play. However, I believe Battle songs cannot be played at all, unless you are playing Single Player Career (which is a shame, since the final stage is awesome). Not sure if the songs are available when battling with a friend.

Honestly, besides the beginning, I think TtFaF can be easily done if you are good at solos (or at least mashing through solos; I'm not that great at it). Jordan was difficult because it doesn't even feel possible to be able to hit all the notes during Solo B/C (which are easily the most difficult parts). As for stamina issues, yes, its a bit hard to play for seven and a half minutes, with all the constant strumming. TtFaF is still loads of fun though.

If anything doesn't make any sense, it's because I'm tired as fuck right now. Just ignore it, I guess.

I was speaking idiomatically.

For those that are playing on Easy-Hard, how are the boss battles? I'm just wondering because there aren't many notes to hit so is it harder to actually win? Too lazy to check...

Final battle is almost complete luck. Get hit by a double note and lose. Lefty flip = lose. I beat it by getting a whammy and using it during a fast constant strum part, a little after getting the first powerup. That's the only way I've ever won. Seriously.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Co-op career unlocks those songs. Once you unlock those (they're encore songs btw) you can play them in quick-play. I thought I mentioned this earlier

Also, I agree that it sucks to not be able to play battle songs normally.

FELIPE NO
