starcrunch061 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) I voted a 9. It will take a lot of work to 5 star Eruption and Spanish Fly on expert. You also have to complete the drum career in expert+. This looks pretty, pretty hard. (Addendum: I don't ever vote anything 10. If I did, there would be no way to ever vote higher. I think this game is brutal, though.) Edited October 22, 2009 by starcrunch061 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white11secz29 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I gave it a ten becuase there is no 11 or 12! Is harded then Smash hits and Mettalica which I would both give 10's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Mark Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) you deserve a recording contract from a major label. Seriously, Red Octane, is this some Last Starfighter type of test? Edited October 26, 2009 by Tarheel Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliensNmycloset Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 yea this is definitely a 10. It is a tad harder than GHSH, which i thought is a 10 as well. I'm hoping to get the plat at some point, but ima have to learn to sing at an expert level which i'm not too happy about :-(. but eddie van halen's solos just aren't meant for a 5 button toy guitar. if they bring in 24 buttons like a real guitar it might be a different story lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamiAmaya Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 10 Same kind of trophies as GH Metallica/Smash Hits, too difficult. Kinda takes the fun out of it for those who can't play on Expert. Hopefully all future GH games will have trophies like GH5, well maybe with a little more challenge but not insane like GH:M/SH/VH >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliensNmycloset Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I rated GHM a 9 simply because more people have the plat than GHSH. i thinkGHSH and GHVH are solid 10s considering only 1% of the population or so can get the plat. but having said that, i hope activision keeps the hard trophies coming and not catering to the noobs. GH5 took me 2 days or so to play and i was very upset. If certain people can't play on expert, they can certainly learn. I started on medium and it's not that hard to move up to hard or expert, just time which most people are not willing to put into games NEmore.

MikeKeese Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Voted it a 10. I played it on my friend's 360 and to get 5 stars on Eruption is absolutely insane. The fact that even some great guitar hero players on here have voted this a 10 prove that is where the difficulty lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heat6jones Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 i don't see the point of making trophies this hard. i think trophies should be something to make an average/above average gamer go a bit further and improve at a game or show more dedication/ spend more time involved with the game these trophies are way too hard and no one is going to master all four instruments just for trophies, at least i know i'm not! I don't like van halen at all, but as a fan of rock music i'd have probably played the game to trophy hunt, but i'm not now that i see the trophes are this difficult, i prob won't even play this game unless a friend is over who wants to. at least it was free with gh5 promo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliensNmycloset Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) lol i mastered all 5 instruments for the platinum. lol i was worse at vocals and i 5stared all of the van halen songs on expert vocals first. and i enjoy trophies this hard because i think a platinum should be something for you to work for, and not just handed out to everyone that can play on medium/hard. and mods, can we please remove the dumbass that voted a 1 for this game? he is obviously just trying to bring the overall rating down on the game or something. I dunno what is problem is. but i think everyone will agree that this game is not easier than cloudy w/ a chance of meatball since that had an average rating of 1.2 or something lol Edited October 31, 2009 by aliensNmycloset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leer_74 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) as a lover of these Faux guitar games as I own GH:1,2,3,4,5 and Aero, Met and now VanH also RB:1,2 with 150+dlc and 5 plastic axes (would get RB:B but hate the Beatles), and one axe being for the wiiEEEEEE and two drum sets and two types of mics and alsotrying to learning thereal thing. I have to give it a 10+!lol I would think Im really good(xpert) and there is no one around here that can even compete with me but I really hate Online play for these trophies and personally think that all game are a personal expericance! you should play it to better yourself and not rely on someone else, like these 100% all members trophies? I mean its "Guitar Hero!" for god sake not drum, mic, or bass, hero... but as much as I love these game i will never beat them there is no way I will be able to get 100% on any of the songs, I will never find enough freinds to help me get 100% expert band trophy, nor do I really want too... i like playin for the music and having fun cause when you do finish a really fun song its a nice adrenaline high lol.. a good and honest trophiy progression example is Batman:Asylem a tru test of skill and development, I got my Plat when I though it was impossible, too get, just because it was a learning curve that I had to master, one learning curve... the problem I see for these games is that every song in this gere is a learning curve and the toughter it gets the steeper the curve and there is a lot of songs in all sorts of music styles, real band members know there own songs play it by memory and get paid! but give them a new style well result may differ. as much as I love 'master of puppets or hot for teachers or silly country songs' I will never get my 5 stars cause 1-only want to hear it so many times and 2- its only fun to fail once lol and 3- its only a game (hense no girls no fame no $$$), if that make any sense.

Razorhoof78 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 My buddy got this with his GH5 and I gave it a go today - I can nail all of EVH's solos (Eruption, Spanish Fly, Little Guitars, 316live, Cathedral, etc...) on an actual six string, but these charts are beyond ridiculous.... I will most certainly be buying this when it hits the shelves. Will I get that Platinum? Probably not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilbiz73 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I voted 10. Mostly because of the Expert 5 star trophies. I'm going to be pulling my hair out trying to get those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squodge Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'm not a fan of Van Halen (they're not all that popular in the UK - a lot of people haven't even heard of them). I'd only buy this if the trophy set wasn't insane. I mean, don't get me wrong, difficult trophies won't put me off buying games that I really want (Beatles Rock Band, wipEout HD, Super Stardust HD)... but if it's a "maybe" game, then the trophy set matters to a certain degree. The only game in this genre that I thought had a sensible trophy set was Rock Band 2. I don't recall whether online gaming was necessary. It did push you to get 100% on individual expert instruments, and the sensible thing was that you could choose which songs to attempt that. The hardest thing trophy was getting all beats at 100bpm, especially since I had no friends who could even remotely help with drumming. I voted RB2 an '8' for difficulty to get Platinum. And all these other games (apart from GH5 - which is easier, but has dumb trophies like 8 on the same instrument, like WTF?) are all at least a 9. I can play a guitar to a certain degree, and I can fingerpick songs like Yesterday... which requires a fair bit of dexterity... and yet is easier than playing some of these songs on GHwhatever. Until the developers create a sensible trophy set (neither easy nor insanely hard), I'll just stop buying these games. Not like Van Halen are "all that" anyway. Apart from 'Jump', I can't think of any songs they did (not including covers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickyboy909 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I voted 10 because you have to 5 star every song on every instrument on expert that is insane! Especially vox. Now, who voted 1??? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flclfanman Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 10 I know people who can nail Spanish Fly and Eruption in real life but die to these ridiculous charts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkylehiemenz Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Anyone who doesn't put a 9 or 10 as difficulty is just a liar, or wants to screw with the difficulty stats. Expert + drums, 5* all songs on Expert on all 4 instruments... come on... thats not easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javidavitch Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) I would say about a 9.5 or 10. It's not so much time consuming as it is to take skill. The Van Halen solo's are really difficult and Hot for Teacher Expert + is definitely a challenge. BUT STILL I GOT THE PLAT TODAY! Definitely the most challenging plat ever....but so gratifying!

Nootfloosh Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Just beat this game on expert guitar... oh my god. I don't know how I will beat all the Van Halen songs at 5 stars on expert -- "Spanish Fly" and "Eruption" murdered me, and I barely squeaked by. I've been playing these games for years, spent 1,000's of hours into becoming a better player, and yet I feel like I could play these songs for 5 years with constant practice and not get 5 stars on them. I've resigned myself to being happy with the 30% completion percentage I have on this game, and if I finish bass on expert (which shouldn't be nearly as hard) and do some of the other bogus trophies that I skipped over (like doing tutorials or making a custom instrument) then I might get as high as 50% in trophy completion. But I suck at drums and have no interest in playing them, and I can't sing Van Halen songs on an expert level, so I know I'll never get a platinum in this game. Basically, I love all these music games (more songs = more enjoyment), so I'll keep playing them, but if I'm trophy hunting I know that I won't stand much of a chance. This game was surprisingly fun though. If I hadn't gotten a free copy, I probably wouldn't have bought it anyway, so for a free game it was quite good! Good luck to anyone going for the platinum though. I will not embark on this quest myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
