Zero Punctuation: Guitar Hero III

I once rented that movie when I was 16 (9 years ago), and felt pretty proud of myself for getting away with it.Scypemonk said:
Until I got the damn video home and discovered I'd just paid $3 for the most convoluted boring as hell wannabe-porn movie ever made. On the upside, it taught me that there's nothing spankable about R-Rated movies in Australia and I'm best off with internet porn, which has the added benefit of being freely available and undetectable by my mother.
On the downside, in my attempts to keep my ill-rented tape from being discovered by my mother, I didn't manage to return it on time. 6 days later, the video store called my mother to advise her that there was an outstanding return of an adult movie on her account. My mother drove me to the video store to return my porn and I paid an additional $18 in late fees.
LOL! I'm sure Yahtzee will be pleased to be the subject of so many wild fantasies, gay and straight.Corbineau said:I hope he is, as that's what all my wicked fantasies revolve around.Kogepan said:Wow, I hope you're not gay, Yahtzee. There go all my wicked fantasies.
Great review as always.Thanks for brightening my Wednesdays with your dry, sarcastic wit.
It's probably the hat.
Am I the only person who finds the fact that "heterosexuality" is a tag for this review to be hilarious enough?
Never played GH though and was only the slightest curious about it. Because, all in all, I can't accept a game that involves the mastery of the 12 songs you're confined to and the only chance of getting some new insane tracks to get your cramps on is by buying the inevitable sequel which is pretty much the giddy proclamation of "We've added 10 more songs now, but this totally new feature but not actually fundamental to change the core of the game or to even call it a new game makes it worth it for us to stea-I mean for you to spend your well spent 60 bucks on it."
You could correct me on this though. Because I never touched any of the guitar heroes.
I mean the game!

Agreed. Unless Rock Band gets released on PC (or Wii), and has a wide range of optional extra songs to buy/download, I won't bother with it. (Although, allowing myself a little dreaming, if they release any Blue Oyster Cult albums for Rock Band... I won't be able to resist.)Divinegon said:
Loved the review. From my experience GH3's hard and expert modes are REDICULLOUS and I simply don't have time to try and learn to play like that. With rockband, me and my friends can take turns at each instrument. Appendages tired of wailing on the guitar? switch to drums or the vocals.
great review. Tom Morello is uber, but legend of rock...dunno

The original Guitar Hero game had 47 tracks (30 "As Made Famous By" well-known covers, 17 indy band tracks as unlockables). Each subsequent release had more, (I believe) except for Encore: Rock the 80's, which everyone knows is shite. In addition, each song has 4 difficulties, which really amounts to 4 different experiences with each (at least as a newcomer, as an experienced player you basically skip easy or medium unless you really want the in-game money). And, as of Guitar Hero II, each song has two different sets of notes to play, with a guitar part and either a bass or rhythm guitar part. Again, more to play than just 10-12 songs over and over again.Divinegon said:
Awnsering to your question in the video.. No i didn't find odd the fact that the character used a sting on image 110 because the sting is used to hold the floating hand because it seems the floating mechanism is broken... /unless you mean the singer Sting %|
Yay, a good review of GHIII...it's rather annoying to find everyone raving over a game that basically works as an expansion pack. Isn't an expansion pack defined as adding new things while tweeking the gameplay just a tad? IE, not really doing anything new?
And THANK YOU for the remarks about the GH freeks. Honestly, why does one spend hours and hours trying to play Through the Fire and Flames when they can get just as much attention as getting halfway though that song as being able to play something easy on an ACTUAL guitar. God forbid people channel all of this into something actually productive...not to say that it's bad, just overrated...
*plays more entertaining rhythm game*

I really like GH... until I try to play it on the expert mode, then after like 30 attempts I stop playing it and try to get a life or something
Oh,and I thought I was the only one who missed Clive Winston, he was my favorite character too! Why he isn't in the game?? When my friend said he wasn't I didn't believe him LOL
