GH5: Let's talk about it

[felixdaman18]

Well since GH5 has came out, let's talk about it.
Info from a review on the wii version

Pros

* A crisper and more friendly GUI.
* Wide selection of mostly great songs
* Loads of freedom to come and go from the stage as you please
* Backwards-compatible with Guitar Hero World Tour
* High capacity SD support
* Best Nintendo DS cross-implimentation to date
* Utilizes the Wii address book for online play!

Cons

* Minor calibration issues
* Some uneven difficulty issues
* Not all songs transfer from GHWT

Everyone has their own starpower. Wtf? Seriously, they're copying way too much from RB2. Why can't they have their own system. Are they really that lazy?
You Give Love A Bad Name from Bon Jovi was reused *cough*lazy*cough*
Also, RB2 still has a higher metascore + the wii version of the RB2 has a higher score than all of the versions of GH5. Kinda sad.

It will still look better on PS3 and 360. Wii can only be compared to the ps2

Looks arent everything and the ball still moves faster than you

Ermmmm... I think that was kinda the point... even though the Wii version is the worst version of RB2, it still has a better score than the best version of GH5.

Why, every thread about this kind of games turn in to a GH5 sucks get rock band debate thread...
so there's no point.

I think it looks good. I thnk they should go back to GH3 style hammer ons though. They look is meh. Mostly great songs.

It's a GHWT expansion that isn't worth $60

Any "innovation" ends up being completely irrelevant, the gameplay hasn't changed nearly at all, the dead guest music stars are shameful, and the track list has so much metal and super recent songs that it shouldn't please most people, most of the issues of GHWT still remain and haven't been addressed at all, the graphics are pretty much exactly the same, and there's a lack of truly difficult content.

Less than half of GHWT and GH:smash hits songs transfer to GH5. The idea of GH5 being a "platform" is laughable compared to RB.

Lol, it's actually 60$, so even worse.
I'm probably gonna buy this **** anyways cause I've been playing RB2 way too much. I play like 5 hours a week of RB2, but getting bored now(because I'm on the wii, so DLC is expensive since you can't buy in packs, so I don't buy DLC)

[RedShadow]

God, much metal is never bad... Pretty sure you loved RB1
Anyway, I wouldn't call that setlist "much metal"

Sure right.
Keep bashing the freaking game, you buy it anyway... sigh*

RB1 had barely any metal at all and that's why it's one of my favorite soundtracks

btw, I'm not going to buy it right now or in september.
I'll probably get it for my birthday or something.

i would say that it is a copy of rb just look on the gui the difference between gh3 and gh5 is big. harmonix evolved from gh2 to rb1 and 2 but neversoft is running behing with copying rb (song import? )

[megasxlrsebas2]

I would be getting this game if the charts weren´t so bad.

Total Overcharting. Cobain looks cool but he remains me of creepy things.

[vedicardi]

It surpisingly looks better in motion than I though it would just in terms of graphics but really the GUI is unbelievably bad, the note charts are horrid, the setlist is really lacking, and it's full of **** gimmicks. I mean it's just not good bottom line. It could be fun for a week maybe.

[drummaniac28]

I'm too lazy to see if anyone posted this, but it doesn't come with a new drum set, only with a guitar. The drum set comes with Band Hero, which IMO looks pretty bad.
