I know EXACTLY where fun ends!

It's right before Texas Flood on Hard. That's when the game goes from being fun to being terrible shit. It's like they put in that terrible tutorial and expect you to handle hammer-ons with lighting speed! I know it's called hard, but I feel there's potential there for more challenging gameplay without being a million fucking random notes whizzing at you. There's no way someone can play that without just having memorized the movements or something, and that's not fun. Say, didn't I write a post exactly like this earlier?

Oh, and I'm talking about Guitar Hero.

Hahhahahahahahahaha both threads made me laugh really hard and I'm not even sure why ahahaha

What are you talking about though?

I was playing GH2 today. I thought the hammer ons worked really well, but then I was playing it on medium because I'm a n00b and don't own either of the games. 2 player is pretty awesome now though.

I hear they fixed the hammer-ons in GH2, too.

They are a lot more reliable. They worked in GH1 and everything, but you had to be much more precise. Now you can just jam and it gives you the same amount of give-or-take that it does on normal notes. Still, as one who's now beaten both games on Expert, I gotta say keep at it. The day that you finally beat Bark at the Moon on Expert will leave you with such an amazing feeling of triumph. Especially given the fact that with the solo at the end of the song, the first time you beat BatM will probably come right after three or four attempts where you failed at 99%. It did for me. Scared the hell out of my roommate's dog with my whoop of joy.

Texas Flood on Hard is the first time the game really shows that it's going to get tough. It's one of the few big spikes in difficulty. Get through it, and the rest of the top tier, and you'll be able to work your way through Expert at your own pace. Damn is it worth it, too.
