Guitar Hero (AC) (International)

Hey, I just heard something on r21freak. I haven't verified it myself yet, but it sounds cool.
If you mash the frets on the loading screens, it shows you a special screen with lots of cool stuff.
Could someone verify this?

So I decided to play Guitar Hero at my area. I can't believe it's one dollar for one song and two dollars for the premium songs

Good thing to know that I ranked first in about all of the songs I played

Controllers are too heavy, and the strap needs to be worn out as it's stiff to adjust it. Playing Barracuda is a pain as the controller is not sensitive enough to register all of the notes. The controllers are too freaking heavy and Star Power activates whenever the hell it feels like instead of tilting the controller up to activate it.

The controller is heavy. I didn't find the controller buttons to be too bad and the strum bad feels ok to me. They need to redo the controllers so that it includes a star power button near the strum bar (within pinky's reach) and have the option to either activate star power with the button or by tilting the controller.

I hate the lag and the fact that the game has very few songs. Like DDR Doubles, I can afford to play the Premium songs! I've been getting huge-ass crowds from playing Black Magic Woman on Expert. I'll be posting up my awesome* scores when I feel like it.

Edit: There needs to be a deluxe version of Guitar Hero AC that comes with a chair to sit on. The Guitar's weight put a strain on my left collarbone area and it freaking hurts.

Edit edit: Looking at the songlist, it seems that the machine I played on has access to DLC as I saw Jukebox Hero and the others on the list. My area will definitely pruchase e-amuse in the event that they upgrade the DDR machine ( I told them not to)

Edit the third: Peace of Mind by Boston is a Premium Song

* = not so awesome; I hate Guitar Hero.

I saw a GH AC machine at the movie theater I always go to. I didn't get within 25 feet of the machine, though.

---

Paint It, Black
Cherub Rock
Black Magic Woman
Peace of Mind
Barracuda
Pride and Joy
Fuck yeah!! I am also better than maxninja


Also, Pride and Joy is a premium song. Fix it on the first post dammit. Don't deceive the (few) people that view this thread

wow, those are some low expert scores. learn to path.

speaking of bad paths, bad path is bad.

---

Of course they're bad, I don't play Guitar Hero. And even if I did play with the best path, the controller's sensitivity will screw me over.

NEW LOCATION: Dave & Buster's Times Square (New York, NY)

Arcade page already updated.

Ok, after silent's constant reminder of trying to get this thread updated....

I updated it with the new location PLUS a link to a thread i started about the GH:AC over at the Guitar Hero Forums...

...look into more of this stuff later, gotta clean the house >_>

...and now i updated Peace of Mind - Boston as a Premium Song...

...i should REALLY be going to clean my house now >_>.

---

2 cabinets at Dave and Busters in Kansas City KS

1 cabinet at Minsky's Pizza on NW Barry Road (near I-29, in the Northland) (Missouri)

LOL That's 15 minutes from where I live.

---

Updated (see silent, i can now update stuff again =V).

...i really am wondering A LOT of things about this machine, if it says that there are going to be online tournaments, when has one started? And if there is going to be a new patch or something coming out...

Man this is bothersome >_>.

---

Sometime next month (August) is when Online Connectivity begins. Raw Thrills sent our distributor a notice. And yes, Minsky's Pizza is aaaaaaaamazing

Oh thanks! =)

Updated front page with the "Online Mode Availability" on the Time log for the AC. Wonder what's going to happen once this goes off....

Plus, if it's not too much to ask, if i can get one person to check up on the AC now and then when August comes to see if they have Online Mode turned on + if anything new pops up. I would REALLY appreciate this. Thanks in advance!

There's a GHAC at Sandy Nicklecade, in Salt Lake Utah. I saw it on saturday. No pics or anything because I refuse to play it.

---

Never thought I'd hear the word "path" on a Bemani-themed forum.

It's kind of hard to properly activate when lag and controller are fighting against you, I'm sure.

controller, yes. thats why my posted closer score was so low, the damn thing never wanted to activate for me. lag, not so much. plays pretty dead on if you ask me, the strum bar just needs to be "broken in" so to speak.

---

Lag on all the machines around me is so bad I can't even get to the trill in Surfing With the Alien =/

Lag is allegedly unique to each machine as in they all have the ability to be calibrated, if you were one of the lucky few where the arcade actually knows what calibration IS and how it works then fantastic, ive played on an unsynced one and it was absolutely awful, i was strumming a good 16th early and the notes were still half off the screen!

Guitar Hero AC spotted in Alton Towers (The Edge arcade round where Nemesis is). There's strangely no lag, however the keys feel a little sticky. Set to 3 credits (£3) for a Premium Song, 1 credit (£1) for a normal.

There are some, but not all DLC on it. I remember Yellow, Jukebox Hero and Surfing With The Alien.
