Xbox 360 Fanboy

Sounds great.

I'll most likely have the game beat in the first few hours (GH pro/addict) so a little something to keep the fun going is always nice.

I'm all for cool achievements and some of these are pretty awesome. Except "Buy a Guitar Already". I mean, come on... they should at least be fun achievements to acquire, and playing GH with a standard controller is about as fun as tweezing your scrotum hair with pliers. Blech!

using the controller to play a ranked match. that's insane!

Some of those are ridiculous. I HATE the 5 stars on all easy songs. They have that in Guitar Hero 2 as well and it was so boring I wanted to cry. Unless... unless they make it so that if you nail the five stars on medium, hard or expert they'll throw in the easier achievements like in Gears. Then it would be okay.

Damn, the achievements are even harder than GHII. :( GHII only had 90 points that required expert skill, GHII has upped that to 240! And eurotransient is correct, all of the "standard controller" achievements will involve a huge amount of wasted time. I would have expected someone of average skill (5 star easy and medium, 3-4 star hard) would be able to get around 500 points, but not with this list... try ~345 if you can't find a decent online partner. Well f*ck you too Activision.

Using the controller in general is just stupid. Why have achievements for that?

Would I have it any other way? YES. Yes I would.

I may not be able to get all the GH II achievements (I'm at 730/1000) but I would have fun *trying* to get them or *dreaming* of being good enough to get 5 stars on everything on Expert. But these new ones are just annoying -- Play a whole career with the 360 controller? Play a whole career on lefty flip? Win 15 consecutive songs online with the controller?!? Win 500 online matches??!?!?

And then a bunch more of them seem crazy hard. It's much better to have a *range* of difficulty in your achievements. This game is supposed to have mass appeal, right? Not just for the hardcore? Not according to these achievements. Boo RedOctane, Boo.

(And this is actually coming from a pretty hardcore gamer.)

I've got to jump on board with those saying that these achievements are cool and still suck at the same time. I realize they need to be challenging, but I also think that most people probably feel an achievement ought to be, well, ACHIEVABLE.

Sure... I'll have fun playing the game, and in the end I'll probably have a 100 out of 1000 gamerscore for this game at the peak of my GHIII glory, but I have to say that I'm considerably less stoked about rushing out to get this game, because the achievements give me more of the impression that the game will just be frustratingly difficult, and not very fun.

I fucking hate impossible achievements.

Well you can't make everyone happy. I just hope i get to play one of the game creators lol. I LOVE GUITAR HERO!!!! Hey quick question, does anybody have an HD-TV and really just has trouble getting it to work 100% with calibration? I have tons of trouble with it when it comes to hard/expert. Just wonderin thanks for the help!! GHIII can't wait! to rock out!
