Well, you get the aforementioned ultimate outfits, some cash, a few achievements. That's about it.AstroLad said:

<ot>Wow, Misirlou is still really hard in GH:2. I just got 4 stars, which is an improvement from the 3 I had when I last played it.</ot>
TheGreatDave said:
haha I went back to GH2 semi-recently. Played Carry Me Home and like, doubled my old score on what I thought was still a terrible run. With that confidence I went to try and finally beat Six and Jordan. I cannot.
Although at least now I believe I have a chance at beating Jordan if I really bothered to try it over and over.

I remember when I played GH:2 for the first time in ages I went and played a bunch of songs, Carry Me Home being one of them, and completely destroyed my old scores. The same thing happened again with GH:3 recently; I never play the main setlist of GH:3, but I went and played 3 or 4 of it's songs and without fail I always beat my old score.
I can beat Six. Not Jordan.
*edit* Wow, just played Dead by My Chemical Romance. I can't believe how easy that opening solo is.
Got it on my 2nd try though.I find Six like fiftybillionkajillion times harder then Jordan. Jordan at least when I'm playing I can sort of flail around and get the notes sort of right, relying on star power to keep me alive. Six is just, too fast for me. Even in practice mode slowed down I have trouble though.
I'd say it's the hardest song on guitar in any game I've played for me.

If summer 2007 me could beat Six then I don't know what to tell ya. Other than "you suck" and "you're really rubbish"

On my way.
If I fail blame my guitar

I have a proposition to anyone that can beat the impossible challenges on vocals or drums on expert and happen to be achievement whores like me. I really have no desire to play either of those and I don't know anyone that can beat them either. Apparently you don't have to be playing the instrument so long as you're with someone that is. So if we played co-op I would get the achievement for vox even though i'm playing guitar. I can beat the impossible challenges for bass/guitar pretty easily so I can beat them for you if you want to do one of those for me.
So if you can't do bass/guitar and can do one of those and happen to be interested just let me know on here or on live. Or if you just want to play co-op sometime thats cool too. I still haven't played a single RB 2 session with anyone from gaf yet anyway.

It's not my fault Harmonix can't get their timing window right
I'm the victor, that's all that counts!

I can tell that we're pretty much at the same level difficulty wise. If we just played offline and compared scores I bet we'd be quite similar.

Thirded. GHWT lets you check the leaderboards as soon as you finish a song, which is a step in the right direction.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Screw the Rob the Prez-o-dent haters. Played that song earlier tonight and loved it. It's so unique and fun to play.

Yeah, luckily I already had the mil fans or I would have been ticked off. It was kind of funny that they would take a dig at Hot Topic like that. Wish the message had called me a sell out rather than say I played a shotty set though. Would have made the joke better.
On another note had a nice rock band get together tonight. trying to work our way up to doing the endless set list without piss breaks.

I just checked EA's website; they do actually do returns for the drum pedals in the UK. Guitars you still need to return to the store though.
People hate that song? It's pretty damn awesome. I hate that winter song, but I"ve only played it on guitar so far. Visions is still the best bonus song.NameGenerated said:Screw the Rob the Prez-o-dent haters. Played that song earlier tonight and loved it. It's so unique and fun to play.

Are they that much the same? Challenges were one of the things I was looking most forward to. Are they not at all interestingly set up? I keep trying to find a list of them online but no dice.

I just finished the Endless Setlist 2 on hard drums. I've been playing RB2 on Expert, but I dropped it down to hard since I can't beat every song on expert. Started at 9PM and ended at 3:15AM. Five starred everything except Visions, Colony of Birchmen and Panic Attack (which I have fived before, but was tired as hell near the end).
I got the bladder of steel achievement and my amount of stars was quite appropriate.

I listened to The Colour And The Shape recently and decided once and for all that Foo Fighters are a singles band and not much more.

BenjaminBirdie said:
The only challenges I've done are the first two levels or so and they're not even a part of BWT proper, but a separate option from the band screen--you go into Challenges and there are specific challenges for guitar, drums, singing, and the whole band. I've just done the guitar and drum ones, but they're basically just three songs and then it keeps your high score. Apparently there are achievements tied to Challenges as well which appears to be the main draw.

Here are some challenges to give you an idea of what they look like:
70's Hits::
Psycho Killer
Uncontrollable Urge
Let There Be Rock
Ramblin' Man
Rock Band Nightmare Challenge
Next To You
Cherub Rock
Tom Sawyer
Green Grass & High Tides
Challenging Basslines
Where'd You Go?
Any Way You Want It
Lump
Livin' on a Prayer
Metallica Challenge
...And Justice for All
Ride the Lightning
Blackened
Battery
There are a few types of challenges. One is an artist-specific one, where it pops up if you have 3 or more songs from the same artist. There are also the genre-specific ones, where it has 4-5 punk songs or pop-rock songs or whatever. I don't have any full albums but I did get the Boston pack so I have a "Boston Album Challenge" which has all the Boston songs, and I got the Who pack so I have a "Who's Next Album Challenge" which has all the Who's Next songs from the pack on it. If you exported the Rock Band 1 tracks you have individual challenges for each tier. There are also "Infinite [whatever]" challenges that have a ton of songs from whatever category; for example the "Infinite 80s" challenge has 30 songs, all from the 80s. If you just want to go through the songs in a linear fashion there are "[Difficulty Level] Marathon" challenges where you just play through the songs as you would in RB1 or Guitar Hero. There are also vocal/drum/full band challenges but I haven't done any of those yet.

WOW!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate you taking the time to write a few of them out. That's exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.
Does it show you, like greyed out, Challenges that exist but that you can't play because you don't have the right DLC?
Also, I remember a while ago they teased a Challenge Icon with a guy singing and playing guitar at the same time. Anyone come across that yet?
And again, THANKS!!

Nope, it doesn't show challenges that require DLC you don't have. Battle of the Bands does, though. I didn't buy the Megadeth album but I see a 'Peace Sells' challenge that I'm not able to participate in. And I haven't seen a sing/play challenge yet.
"IM DA BEST MAYNE"
holy shit, is that actually in the game? Do you get that for 1337 stars or for beating the endless setlist? :lol

What's so hard about Chop Suey? You just need to strum fast, hold down the main fret, and tap the alternating fret. I beat it on my first try on expert and I'm not that good a RB player.Magik said:My Best Buy has nothing.
PS. Chop Suey can die in a fire
