Most, if not all songs in GH games are made artificially more difficult. It's part of the reason why there was a decent amount of players who noticed and jumped ship to RockBand, because they used far more accurate note tracks for those games.
@@vahlok1426 wym raining blood has the same intro as rockband 😂 unless you mean the last solo (it's the best part) but if that's the reason people jumped to rockband idk what to say.

Oh I hate those 'beat the developers' achievements when put in games, because you know at some point it will be impossible to get those achievs when the hype for the game dissipates.
Man I loved the guitar battles in the game, that's just one thing games like clone hero couldn't ever beat. I feel like if they just released a modern day guitar hero for the PC, added in all the nostalgia bait characters, released some instruments and let modders do the work that copyright wouldn't let them do then that would be all it'd take to make an amazing timeless classic.
I dream of a proper GH reboot but i'm not sure it's ever going to happen :( Haven't given clone hero a go before, slowly working through the series achievements on xbox only
@@JForJackPlaysIf they had guitar battles on Clone Hero it would be the goat. Deffo worth a play since it's technically the best version of any guitar hero game
That's a matter of personal preference, I'm glad Clone Hero exists, because without it GHWTDE would not have happened, but in many ways it's geared toward the kind of people doing insane FCs of meme charts who prefer the looser timing window reminiscent of GH3 and don't mind the barebones presentation compared to the GH/RB series. As far as just having a huge collection from each GH/RB game and playing casually on Expert (not usually looking for FCs just maybe five-starring everything) I still think GHWTDE is preferable, but more for entertainment reasons than technical ones. @@VoltiXHD2
If they remade guitar hero, it’s have a battle pass (somehow), god knows how many cosmetics, some probably for sale with real money, and their new guitars/instruments would be SUCH ass.
I feel like Vicarious Visions would have done an incredible Guitar hero remake, considering they worked on the DS games, and the Wii ports, which often had higher ratings than the 360/PS3 versions if I remember correctly. Sadly, Activision merged VV with Blizzard and its probably one of the worst moves in gaming history imo
Quick tip regarding the Lou fight on Expert: After your first powerup, Lou gets a huge stream of green notes. If you pulled Whammy from your first powerup, and use it here, you will knock him out with only one powerup, ending the song long before it gets really hard. You can also do this with Broken String if you hit his green, which is a 1 in 5 chance. If you really are struggling, restart the fight until you both get Whammy and he doesn't get something that makes it borderline impossible for you to get whammy, and you can basically skip the fight.
This is probably one of my all time favourite games. Funnily enough I enjoyed playing with the controller, found it a lot easier than the guitar & can remember getting the achievement legit.
I was the same, one metallica took the longest to beat, but then i actually beat the boss first time after. Ive no idea why one was so difficult for me Could play expert pretty well most songs, never got past holiday in cambodia though story mode
I have a glassed entertainment system behind me which I could use to play left-handedly lol. But I have done that back in the day. Either that or I would lay on my back in my bed and play it with my head upside down, looking at the screen and watch as the notes "scroll up" lol
Good on you, Jack. I've gotten into your channel recently, and you've showed me some games (notably the Guitar Hero franchise), that I've avoided over the years. I'm happy you got this, I can respect the dedication (and in some cases the "what the hell am I doing with myself right now") for this. I've always loved achievements, and as I grow older my urge to collect the lil things gets stronger. Stay strong man, keep on keeping on, and myself and a ton of other folks will gladly follow you along for the ride, no matter how long it may be.
Ah those are some very kind words! Thank you, means a lot. I have many more planned and will keep grinding away. and I'm 100% with you on the urge to collect
Just found your videos and it's so nice to see these older Xbox games covered, literally bringing back so many childhood memories. Such well made and relaxing content- keep it up dude, you'll easy hit six figure subscribers in no time.
Fantastic video! You caught me off guard a few times by knowing some of the old tricks. When you were doing left flip, I was thinking "Just use a mirror", seconds later out comes the mirror lol. Also, glad you knew about All Nightmare Long. Didn't get the 750k until that track pack came out too lol. Can't wait to see the next part. Also, makes me want to go back and finish cleaning up achievements for GH3.
Cannot wait until the co-op video! Loved this so much! I have so many great memories playing this game back in the day, and still play today through Clone Hero!
I remember playing through this game on the Wii 15 years ago, then when I got an Xbox 360 and got into achievement hunting, I got stressed out just looking at this achievement list. Thanks for the nostalgia trip! You are seriously impressive at this game, teenager me is in awe.
Iv been rinsing your content since I found your channel recently. Really enjoy your videos man. You've hit a perfect little niche in my brain. Commentary, challenge and edits are great.
I'm one of those nerds that have this 100%. Infact I have all the GH and rockband games 100% completed achievement wise. By far my fav games over the years. These days I play more drums than guitar.
That is crazy. Some of the achievements that I haven't managed yet are the 575k creeping death on GHM & 5* all songs on GHVH. Maybe one day I'll get back to them!
@JForJackPlays I think GHVH is one of the toughest completions out of both RB and GH. GH2 was tricky for the local 2nd player you needed to be very good also. Thanks for the vid as well bro I really enjoyed the trip down memory lane.
Man, it really sucks that TH-cam doesn't let you play the music. I really wish I could still play this. I still have aps3 and guitar and the games, all I'm missing is the friggin dongle, this video really made me wanna pick it back up
I was 13/14 when this came out, and I played this non-stop. I could clear any song on expert, and was so proud to have scored 86% on Through the Fire and Flames. All that being said, I COULD NOT beat the final boss battle. That was just too much, and I have lots of respect to anyone who can beat him on expert
Use the first power-up as the Whammy on Lou’s set of alt-strumming green notes and you can end the battle immediately to win without struggling. Trust me, try that and you’ll beat the Expert difficulty.
I've revisted GH3 this year and gotten the gold 20 songs and 5 star all songs on expert. I wish I had bought the music packs and participated in the multiplayer when it was active in 2012. The only multiplayer experience was through GH5 and WOR in 2009-2010 on the Wii. Never had the privilege to play Guitar Hero multiplayer on 360. This was a great video, Jack. Looking forward to watching the co-op portion of this journey.
It was a good time - but it was frustrating on GH3 Online that you could just win by playing any song on easy. You could play separate difficulties of your choice and lose to worse players
What an awesome video, congrats Jack! I was contemplating going back and making an achievement video for a GH game too, I used to adore these games back in the day. I 5 starred all of GH3 expert back in 2010 but sadly never found anyone relatively close to Devon, England to 5 star expert co-op so this sits incomplete on my tag to this day, I'll be super jealous once you mop it up!
@@EffigyXBL I’m in north Devon, Tavistock actually. I can easily do expert but have been longing to do the co-op expert achievements for over 10 years! If you wanna get this done we can definitely arrange something if you want?
Sends me back to when I was forced to learn how to play on Console Controller because the guitar was for my brother lmao. Ended up getting good enough to even 5 start TTFATF by the end of many years of practice. I still play on it from time to time just for fun.
I, for some reason, learnt guitar hero on lefty flip. And a few years back, before I could play clone hero properly, I downloaded something called youtube flipper that let you mirror the videos and just loaded up youtube playthroughs of guitar hero songs and played to them. Good times.
My brother and I grew up playing this game with the controller. Even got to expert, and it's literally impossible XD The way you have to hold your hand to pull off some of those button combos is CRAZY
Really good video. Brings me back to the days when TTFAF was the pinnacle of achievement, nowadays we have FCs on grade 20 songs which is something I'm not even close to doing.
To answer your question about playing expert on the standard controller. You need to change your grip to hold the controller in your left hand and twitch hit the buttons with your right. It's not clean by any means but it works with some practice.
I had this pop up recently, and I was thinking of firing it up again on my PS3! Used to play it so much as a kid on my PS2, sold the games, and got the PS3 version around 2012 and got some of the downloadable content
Takes me back. I didn’t have any of the DLC, other than the free ones, so I could only grind Through the Fire and Flames for the 750k achievement. I have no idea how many times I played the song or even for how long but I hit the 740s about 5 or 6 times before I finally reached the mark. I ended up with a score of 812k. Funny how it goes sometimes. I never came close to that score again.
I really need to earn that 750k points achievement at some point as well. Super grats on this achievement; certainly a dedicated skill is required to complete these achievements and you certainly have that.
I still tell people to this day that ive got the gold star 20 expert songs and 5 star all expert songs. Raining blood is the hardest 5 star by a long shot, needs around 210k to get it. Best guitar hero ever by far. Great video
You are absolutely right about Raining Blood keeping people from completing expert mode.. that's exactly what happened to me! I beat every other song. It was so frustrating.. no matter what I did I couldn't get through the "blood" section. Still an amazing game. I really liked the song "My Name is Jonas" and I saw you got 100% on it.. it is hard to keep the hammer on timing consistent but I practiced a lot back in the day and missed 100% by ONE note. This video is making me want to pick up my (plastic) guitar again..
oh shit, excited to see a new vid from you! the guitar was so hard for me to play for some reason, so i played with the regular controller instead and ended up loving it lmfao.
This is AMAZING! I've been playing GH3 since it first came out, but I never got to use the actual guitar. I always played with the console controller. Never beat TTFAF on Expert, congrats.
Another great video! GH3 is definitely one of the hardest games to get 1000G on. I played the game religiously back when it came out and only got to about the 800 mark (helped by a few glitches to unlock the lefty and controller achievements). I was good but a friend of mine was a real GH wizard and we even had some co-op high scores in the top 10 of the global rankings for a few songs - Me playing bass, of course!
@@JForJackPlays Was missing a lot of the ranked online and the 5-starring every song on co-op achievements. You could only get the co-op one through local play and this was an online friend who I didn't know IRL.
This video was great brought back a lot of memories for me. I’m one of the ones that finished this game 1000G and it took soooooo much time!! When I was first learning the game I remember expert being really rough. If I attempted this again I think the only song that would give me issues would be raining blood! My lord that was so rough to five star!
This will sound quite odd but I've been playing Guitar Hero on PC with a keyboard pretty much exclusively (I'm ashamed to admit I couldn't get into playing it properly with a guitar controller). However, a friend of mine learned to play the game with a proper guitar controller so we played co-op quite a lot, even managed to 100% Mississippi Queen once. Thank you for this trip down memory lane, Guitar Hero 3 was my first game in the series.
To combat your overheating issue, might be worth doing some maintenance on the console. open it up and clean out any dust, and look at redoing any thermal paste/thermal pads on the system if they haven't been changed before (or in a few years at least). Another way to combat the over heating issue that's less invasive, point a fan at the console, even a small usb powered desk fan pointed at it will be enough to help - same principle as using a cooling plate for a laptop :)
@@JForJackPlays I mainly play Holiday in Cambodia, Cities on Flames, Black Magic Woman, Sabotage, Bulls on Parade and Cult of Personality and the last time I was there in May I was still at or near the top of most songs on most machines. So if you see Chief on the list then that's me xD
I haven't done it yet but getting all achievements is one of my goals for guitar hero at the moment. If you do want to play more, admittedly easier guitar hero, there's a free PC clone with thousands of custom songs that are very easy to download and play
On Guitar Hero 2, I did a lot of playing with a controller. My favorite ones to play were Six by All That Remains and The Light That Blinds by Shadows Fall.
i only played on controller growing up and managed to get myself enlightened guitarist and completed it on expert difficulty, theres a "glitch" type of strumming when you hold anything above reds "note" that you can press any colours "strings" to play the note as if you were strumming on the guitar rapidly, only green that "glitch" doesnt work on since theres no lower notes than that. watching this video made me wanna boot up GH3, had to stop playing since all the newer versions required a guitar
I always felt a little bad for doing all the bugs to get a lot of the achievements when I was younger lol. I think now I'm only missing the 750k and co-op score/streak achievements. My friends and I could play expert and 5 star everything but not good enough for the 2000 streak. I had about 630k on TTFAF but haven't tried it since getting better with clone hero as an adult. Great vid subscribed :D
This was one set of achievements I got and I never, ever, ever, EVER want to try to complete again, so I definitely salute you. Meanwhile, I've been sitting with one achievement left in GH: Metallica since that game came out, and that really gets on my nerves. One of these days, I'm gonna finish it.
Impressive. Now, get all the achievements for Rocksmith 2014. Took me a couple years to get the Platinum trophy on PS4. I'm trying for all the achievements on the PC version at the moment. It's challenging, but probably not as hard as the ones from GH3. Those are just sadistic.
14:08 I actually did manage to beat Expert with a standard controller, but it was NOT easy. Like you said the fast strumming parts are like a wall, so timing the star power and just mashing like hell for songs like Knights and Cambodia are a must.
14:08 I actually have beaten the career on expert on controller. There's a trick you can do for fast strumming where you can hold a higher fret and press lower frets and they count as an input on the higher fret. So, for example, you can hold yellow and quickly press green and red to strum a lot faster. I've also just naturally gotten really fast at greens and use 2 fingers to quickly press red whenever possible.
Fun fact for non guitar players: Raining Blood is harder on guitar hero than actual guitar
Most, if not all songs in GH games are made artificially more difficult. It's part of the reason why there was a decent amount of players who noticed and jumped ship to RockBand, because they used far more accurate note tracks for those games.
@@vahlok1426 wym raining blood has the same intro as rockband 😂 unless you mean the last solo (it's the best part) but if that's the reason people jumped to rockband idk what to say.
Pretty sure ttfaf is like this as well
@@funnyguy878 I believe tittyfaf is actually harder on guitar, says a lot considering how much of a clusterfuck the guitar hero chart is
@@chris9242 Playing guitar hero and an actual guitar aren't even comparable, they are two completely different things. Even Herman Li himself can't play ttfaf on GH at all
In terms of skill required, this is genuinely one of the most impressive achievement videos posted thus far haha
oh damn, second to your L4D2 vid maybe ;)
appreciate it, love your videos and congrats on all the success.
you deserve it!
@@JForJackPlaysAppreciate it man, and glad to see your channel growing too!
Love this wholesome shit yeehaw
hi snam its maycray1381
In total fairness the raining blood solo at the end, like most Kerry King solos, is absolutely bonkers
you have a very appropriate name!
The whole song is bonkers....
As the legend Kmac put it, "every Kerry King solo sounds like dissonant hell"
As a lefty this was perhaps one of a handful of moments in my life where things just worked out 😂
Haha I'm actually a lefty myself but do a lot of things right handed!
Ha! Same here, good times!
I remember shitting bricks when I got the “meet your maker” achievement lol “beat one of the creators of GH3 at their own game online”
Good times, simple times 💜
I remember getting that. 'twas a good day!
Oh I hate those 'beat the developers' achievements when put in games, because you know at some point it will be impossible to get those achievs when the hype for the game dissipates.
@@casedistortedjust like online achievements when the servers inevitably get deactivated
I also remember getting that achievement lol. what are the fricken odds??
Only played online once, beat my opponent. Then that popped up, and was just thinking "that can't be real." 😂
Man I loved the guitar battles in the game, that's just one thing games like clone hero couldn't ever beat. I feel like if they just released a modern day guitar hero for the PC, added in all the nostalgia bait characters, released some instruments and let modders do the work that copyright wouldn't let them do then that would be all it'd take to make an amazing timeless classic.
I dream of a proper GH reboot but i'm not sure it's ever going to happen :(
Haven't given clone hero a go before, slowly working through the series achievements on xbox only
@@JForJackPlaysIf they had guitar battles on Clone Hero it would be the goat. Deffo worth a play since it's technically the best version of any guitar hero game
That's a matter of personal preference, I'm glad Clone Hero exists, because without it GHWTDE would not have happened, but in many ways it's geared toward the kind of people doing insane FCs of meme charts who prefer the looser timing window reminiscent of GH3 and don't mind the barebones presentation compared to the GH/RB series.
As far as just having a huge collection from each GH/RB game and playing casually on Expert (not usually looking for FCs just maybe five-starring everything) I still think GHWTDE is preferable, but more for entertainment reasons than technical ones. @@VoltiXHD2
If they remade guitar hero, it’s have a battle pass (somehow), god knows how many cosmetics, some probably for sale with real money, and their new guitars/instruments would be SUCH ass.
I feel like Vicarious Visions would have done an incredible Guitar hero remake, considering they worked on the DS games, and the Wii ports, which often had higher ratings than the 360/PS3 versions if I remember correctly. Sadly, Activision merged VV with Blizzard and its probably one of the worst moves in gaming history imo

Why you would skip playing a metal cover of TDWDG is beyond me. Just enjoy the process.
@@Phantom-kc9ly The Devil will give you a hard time beating the game if you don’t do it right away. What’s your point about it?

Very impressive, it’s always really cool when an achievement hunting channel does something really different, would love to see co-op next.
Thank you, appreciate it!
Yes I'll definitely be trying to get that done asap.
Got some others planned/on the go also
@@JForJackPlaysa shame I no longer have my 360. I used to get 650-700k on ttfaf. Would’ve offered help with COOP
The absolute dedication to get through all this is unreal. Seeing the co-op will be insane
29:01 I feel your pain brother. Times like that I’d take a brake and walk my dog just to clear my head.
By far one of my most proud completions on the 360. Would happily go through it all again
such an iconic game
well done on the completion!
I still remember playing looking at a mirror to get the left handed achievement 😂
I knew I wasn't alone with that one!
I went and wctually learned left handed, only because my friends were learning the game and it made it fair in versus
I have a glassed entertainment system behind me which I could use to play left-handedly lol. But I have done that back in the day. Either that or I would lay on my back in my bed and play it with my head upside down, looking at the screen and watch as the notes "scroll up" lol
As a Guitar Hero player myself, seeing somebody who isn’t known for Guitar Hero content absolutely slaughter an achievement hunt for this is awesome!
Appreciate the kind words!!

This is literally the “number go up” channel with the cross over of RS and achievements. Subbed
So glad to see your skills in action again 😎
Thank you very much!
Man, it really sucks that TH-cam doesn't let you play the music.

Took me fucking weeks.
Use the first power-up as the Whammy on Lou’s set of alt-strumming green notes and you can end the battle immediately to win without struggling. Trust me, try that and you’ll beat the Expert difficulty.

That means a lot! Thank you and glad you liked it
Funny enough when I first bought this game I was too poor to get the guitar so I only beat it with a controller
My completion of this game is one of my proudest.
My proudest gaming moment was 4 starring through the fire and flames such a rough song or my first time ever 5 starring ONE
Is there anyone else who HAS to open the achievement and read the description even though you purposefully hunted for it for hours?
Seeing that old school menu just feels good
I love this! Achievement hunting is something I love watching, and guitar hero 3?? My dream combo! Sub instantly

FC of TTFAF used to be considered a holy grail, then summer 2008 happened and the Dragonforce pack dropped. How far we've come.
Congrats on the 1k for gh3 welcome to the club
This brings back so many memories. Dang man. 🥹
I recently played through Cult of Personality at an arcade, it didn't seem to want to end
To answer your question about playing expert on the standard controller. You need to change your grip to hold the controller in your left hand and twitch hit the buttons with your right. It's not clean by any means but it works with some practice.
Wow that’s just crazy
You really are a rock legend
I had this pop up recently, and I was thinking of firing it up again on my PS3! Used to play it so much as a kid on my PS2, sold the games, and got the PS3 version around 2012 and got some of the downloadable content
Great content, glad the algorithm promoted your videos! Well worth a subscribe
thank you very much, appreciate it
Takes me back. I didn’t have any of the DLC, other than the free ones, so I could only grind Through the Fire and Flames for the 750k achievement. I have no idea how many times I played the song or even for how long but I hit the 740s about 5 or 6 times before I finally reached the mark. I ended up with a score of 812k. Funny how it goes sometimes. I never came close to that score again.
I really need to earn that 750k points achievement at some point as well.
Super grats on this achievement; certainly a dedicated skill is required to complete these achievements and you certainly have that.
This is awesome! I've been a fan of Guitar Hero for years and I'd never he able to do what you did. I'd love to see co-op, please!
thanks a lot! glad you enjoyed it.
Working on it at the moment but it's a big grind!
I still tell people to this day that ive got the gold star 20 expert songs and 5 star all expert songs. Raining blood is the hardest 5 star by a long shot, needs around 210k to get it. Best guitar hero ever by far. Great video
227k I think! the magic number. Was so hard to get the first time!
Thank you very much, means a lot
You are absolutely right about Raining Blood keeping people from completing expert mode.. that's exactly what happened to me! I beat every other song. It was so frustrating.. no matter what I did I couldn't get through the "blood" section. Still an amazing game. I really liked the song "My Name is Jonas" and I saw you got 100% on it.. it is hard to keep the hammer on timing consistent but I practiced a lot back in the day and missed 100% by ONE note. This video is making me want to pick up my (plastic) guitar again..
Another great vid! Careful of those blisters!
Glad you enjoyed it!
so i never knew they had some songs on guitar hero 3 that would become tracks i frequently listen to in high school into adult life
Crazy video, can’t wait for part 2
Thank you!
Yes, not sure when it will be done but I'll do my best!
oh shit, excited to see a new vid from you! the guitar was so hard for me to play for some reason, so i played with the regular controller instead and ended up loving it lmfao.
thank you!
haha yeah a few people have said that,
I was guitar all the way though!
such a good game
This is AMAZING! I've been playing GH3 since it first came out, but I never got to use the actual guitar. I always played with the console controller.
Never beat TTFAF on Expert, congrats.
Seeing how many buttons you gotta hit on some of these really makes it impressive, good video btw.
Thank you for watching! Glad you liked it
I also would love to see you play through the co-op career as well!
I got you!
yes mate love this, defo do the co op ones
Another great video! GH3 is definitely one of the hardest games to get 1000G on. I played the game religiously back when it came out and only got to about the 800 mark (helped by a few glitches to unlock the lefty and controller achievements). I was good but a friend of mine was a real GH wizard and we even had some co-op high scores in the top 10 of the global rankings for a few songs - Me playing bass, of course!
Thank you very much.
Yeah this game is such a fun one to play co op with friends.
Which achievements were you missing?
@@JForJackPlays Was missing a lot of the ranked online and the 5-starring every song on co-op achievements. You could only get the co-op one through local play and this was an online friend who I didn't know IRL.
Im an avid guitar hero player and this is probably one of if not the most entertaining guitar hero video I've seen in a long time. Great stuff man
This video was great brought back a lot of memories for me. I’m one of the ones that finished this game 1000G and it took soooooo much time!! When I was first learning the game I remember expert being really rough. If I attempted this again I think the only song that would give me issues would be raining blood! My lord that was so rough to five star!
This will sound quite odd but I've been playing Guitar Hero on PC with a keyboard pretty much exclusively (I'm ashamed to admit I couldn't get into playing it properly with a guitar controller). However, a friend of mine learned to play the game with a proper guitar controller so we played co-op quite a lot, even managed to 100% Mississippi Queen once. Thank you for this trip down memory lane, Guitar Hero 3 was my first game in the series.
To combat your overheating issue, might be worth doing some maintenance on the console. open it up and clean out any dust, and look at redoing any thermal paste/thermal pads on the system if they haven't been changed before (or in a few years at least). Another way to combat the over heating issue that's less invasive, point a fan at the console, even a small usb powered desk fan pointed at it will be enough to help - same principle as using a cooling plate for a laptop :)
I've got the high score for both hard and expert on a lot of songs on three GH arcade machines in Liverpool, so I get what you're talking about haha.
which songs are your go to?
So far I've done Stricken, Almost Easy & Lay Down. Think they're the only songs i've played solo there also haha
@@JForJackPlays I mainly play Holiday in Cambodia, Cities on Flames, Black Magic Woman, Sabotage, Bulls on Parade and Cult of Personality and the last time I was there in May I was still at or near the top of most songs on most machines. So if you see Chief on the list then that's me xD
I haven't done it yet but getting all achievements is one of my goals for guitar hero at the moment. If you do want to play more, admittedly easier guitar hero, there's a free PC clone with thousands of custom songs that are very easy to download and play
awesome video man will definitely be subbing :)
This is the first video of urs I'm watching and I'm hooked. You make rly good content and I hope u do the co-op trophies
Thank you, that means a lot!
Yes I definitely will, I'm currently working on recording a few games. The rest of GH3 included!
On Guitar Hero 2, I did a lot of playing with a controller. My favorite ones to play were Six by All That Remains and The Light That Blinds by Shadows Fall.
i only played on controller growing up and managed to get myself enlightened guitarist and completed it on expert difficulty, theres a "glitch" type of strumming when you hold anything above reds "note" that you can press any colours "strings" to play the note as if you were strumming on the guitar rapidly, only green that "glitch" doesnt work on since theres no lower notes than that. watching this video made me wanna boot up GH3, had to stop playing since all the newer versions required a guitar
I remember finding out the mirror trick during the Devi went down to Georgia boss battle, I felt so clever lol
I always felt a little bad for doing all the bugs to get a lot of the achievements when I was younger lol. I think now I'm only missing the 750k and co-op score/streak achievements. My friends and I could play expert and 5 star everything but not good enough for the 2000 streak. I had about 630k on TTFAF but haven't tried it since getting better with clone hero as an adult. Great vid subscribed :D
the halo theme and the atreyu song is amazing
I’m so drunk and kept seeing this on my recommended thank you goat 😅
Awesome stuff
This was one set of achievements I got and I never, ever, ever, EVER want to try to complete again, so I definitely salute you. Meanwhile, I've been sitting with one achievement left in GH: Metallica since that game came out, and that really gets on my nerves. One of these days, I'm gonna finish it.
Impressive. Now, get all the achievements for Rocksmith 2014. Took me a couple years to get the Platinum trophy on PS4. I'm trying for all the achievements on the PC version at the moment. It's challenging, but probably not as hard as the ones from GH3. Those are just sadistic.
14:08 I actually did manage to beat Expert with a standard controller, but it was NOT easy. Like you said the fast strumming parts are like a wall, so timing the star power and just mashing like hell for songs like Knights and Cambodia are a must.
14:08 I actually have beaten the career on expert on controller. There's a trick you can do for fast strumming where you can hold a higher fret and press lower frets and they count as an input on the higher fret. So, for example, you can hold yellow and quickly press green and red to strum a lot faster. I've also just naturally gotten really fast at greens and use 2 fingers to quickly press red whenever possible.
One that I got back then that I believe you can't get anymore is the "Meet your maker" achievement
