Does anyone else have problems with the trophy for all sets in live mode completed as "awesome"? All sets show "awesome" for me, but the trophy doesn't pop. Will try to play all songs awesome and see if that helps...

yep, I know what your issue is

You have to replay that set with Fallout Boy song on regular difficulty. When you play it during the very start of the game (the first set you play), it's set to easy. So you probably got "awesome" on it but not on regular difficulty.

Guitar Hero Live Sales Increase Over Warriors of Rock, GH5 [UPDATE] http://www.gamespot.com/articles/guitar-hero-live-sales-increase-over-warriors-of-r/1100-6431940/

Hey, it's something. We haven't heard anything regarding RB4 numbers, have we?

Guitar Hero Live Sales Increase Over Warriors of Rock, GH5 [UPDATE] http://www.gamespot.com/articles/guitar-hero-live-sales-increase-over-warriors-of-r/1100-6431940/

Good to see. I hope this game is successful enough that GHTV keeps getting new songs and events. Maybe they can even do a sequel with new Live bits in a few years.

 

[Oynox]

Does the daily reward actually increase? Though it says that it gets more every day, only the first tier is highlighted everyday I start GHTV.

More game regarding:

Which are the best guitar upgrades in your opinion? I upgraded the points per note first, then multiplicator speed and max multiplier. I left out Hero Power since I rarely use it.

I have the feeling that the max multiplier upgrade is really, really worth it. Alone the 5x gives me quite a boost over others, even if I am doing bad.

By the way, which difficulty did you choose? Advanced is quite challenging to me, however, normal is way too easy. For me difficulty in GH is always strange. Normal, or middle is too easy, but one level up, it is really challenging.

MORE PARAMORE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Whenever I get Guitar Hero Live, sooooo much Paramore is gonna get got! Can't wait for it and I'm glad TV is being updated!

 

[antitrop]

Reptilia is an all-time favorite of mine.

Played the few remaining songs with awesome status, but the problem was apparently not the set with fallout boy since i only replayed 3 other sets and the trophy popped. But maybe you are still right and i switched to easy in another set, didn't check that. Thanks anyway.

 

[toythatkills]

I guess that's how GHTV will work for updates then. Six songs in the Premium Shows and then after 10 days or whatever they get added to the rotation.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

Are the guitars multi platform? I'm thinking of getting a second one but wanting to know if I can get it on whatever is cheapest.

 

[nephilimdj]

finally getting the hang of normal, I'm guessing it bombed pretty bad on wiiu. even getting 90% notes on casual (30k'Ish) puts you in top 5000

 

[FrsDvl]

So for those who care, the Weezer performance recorded for Guitar Hero, will be streamed in full tonight at 8PM local time on iHeartRadio

So hopefully this means it'll drop on GHTV soon as well.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I'm very interested in this game. I mainly play Rock Band and have an extensive library of songs on it but I don't know if I want another Rock Band game that doesn't change the formula. I'm leaning towards GH but I have a few questions:

1. Does the game give you less tokens as you play the game? Become complicated?
2. New music added has to have a music video right? A song that has no music video can't be in the game?
3. How good is the online connectivity on GHTV? Disconnecting issues?

No. Well apparently the guitars are, but the adapters are not so unless they sell those separately, you're kind of stuck.

The new guitar is interesting enough to make the game more fun for me to play, especially since a lot of songs aren't available in RB4 yet.

You seem to get 3 tokens per level, but I think there are only 20 levels? So I don't know what happens when you hit the cap.

No idea.

And you do seem to need a good connection for GH TV. It also takes over a gig of bandwidth an hour.

 

[fernoca]

You also get credit to spend in tokens (and upgrades) every time you play a song.

This is the kind of stuff Activision needs to do regularly that shows why GHTV can be a fantastic system. I've already enjoyed the heck out of it, I'll really enjoy being able to cruise through and practice some stuff this weekend for free.

Fucking rad! Gonna level up to 20 this weekend and get some more trophies. I love this game.

 

[toythatkills]

Pretty sure that won't work. You'll have to earn three stars after the premium show becomes available, it won't count what you did before.

 

[DagsJT]

Picked this up earlier after getting RB4 last night and I've got to say I like the tracks in GHL a lot more. Also I can't get my wife off the guitar, she's really enjoying the TV mode and currently on a pop run. I can see this working well and a lot better than I initially expected.

i just read about the new shit this weekend! that's awesome, and i'll be able to play this weekend so that's great!

I think the game stopped giving me play tokens for completing tracks on GHTV since I hit level 20. Is that true?

Awesome news. Good opportunity to work on that 1000 note streak trophy.

I don't think you ever got play tokens directly by completing songs, only by leveling up. You have to use coins to buy plays at this point I imagine.

 

[PodcastFips]

Yeah, but the whole point of making everyone cap at a pretty low level is kinda scummy then.

 

[firehawk12]

Pretty sure that won't work. You'll have to earn three stars after the premium show becomes available, it won't count what you did before.

Oh crap, really? That's lame. :/
Then at some point you're really paying to play those shows. Well, unless you grind and never upgrade your guitar.

Yeah, but the whole point of making everyone cap at a pretty low level is kinda scummy then.

Gotta get you to buy hero cash somehow.

 

[sneaky77]

Do you still get coins?

 

[PodcastFips]

Do you still get coins?

Yes, but I still don't have all the upgrades, so I'm not going to waste them on anything else. I mean I don't need to play a certain song at any time so in the end I'm fine with it. But it looks like they try to force you into microtransactions in the "end game" (which is totally the wrong term, they could just raise the cap to infinity like PvZ etc.), when there's not much left to do except going for highscores in individual songs.
That's a little meh.

 

[Neuromancer]

There was a title update today on PS4 with a vague promise of bug fixes. Hopefully that includes the daily login coin bonus.

Or playing for the fun of it. Sometimes I wish there was no upgrade path at all.

 

[streetsahead123]

That Spector music video is fucking hilarious.

 

[firehawk12]

At least the coins you get seems to be based purely on performance rather than on score or rank. But yeah, it's hard to buy songs when the guitar upgrades are so expensive. Heck, you don't even know if your score is good or not until you get all 4 upgrades. And even then you need to buy the highway power ups anyway.

I wonder if this free weekend will count towards the 'Use 100 Plays in GHTV' trophy.

Depends on whether your play token count rises to infinity and you still need to spend them, or if they remove the requirement for play tokens altogether.

I hope those "free weekends" become something similar to double XP weekends for shooters and alike. That would be awesome.

I absolutely love that song, hence the mainstream pop parts, the underlining beat is entertaining.
