Guitar Hero Live - New Guitar Hero Game (360/X1/PS3/PS4/WiiU + Mobile)

What an awful song selection. Might be the worst I've seen yet for a main game, and that is ignoring the fact that they are cutting the amount of songs nearly in half. It's so transparent that they are trying to push people towards putting money towards GHTV.

I don't even know anymore if I'm going to get the game. Probably best to wait awhile or see if the game just tanks and buy it cheap. Aside from the gameplay that might be fun, nearly every other aspect of the game just seems to be purposefully trying to disappoint me.

Not up to date with GHL at all but am I right in assuming that you need to buy Live to play the GHTV songs on the 360 and One? What about the Wii U, since that is free, does it still have the option to play GHTV?

Thanks

If it is true that getting tokens in GHTV is as easy as that article says, than it might not be too bad. I would be upset if there is no way to practice the song, but to have access to 200 more songs without having to spend hundreds more dollars would be pretty nice. We'll see how it is next week I guess.

So long as there's some static way of earning credits from playing the channels or on disc songs that isn't ridiculous it will be alright. But if it's a situation in which earning tokens is a chore, or becomes increasingly difficult as leveling up becomes more and more rare it could be a shitshow. It also depends heavily on what those channels are like. If it's like pop/rock/metal split where you're going to still like 70% of what you're playing to earn credits that's great. If it's a situation where they did some deals with record companies to force you to play the crappy bands they're trying to put over in order to earn the credits for songs you like, or to "encourage" you to buy Herobuxtm it'll be terrible. It's rather I get this close to a games release and have such a loose grasp on whether it'll be great or terrible.

Nearly every game you play online requires XBL or PS+ to play. I think I've heard of some possible exceptions, particularly MMO's I believe, but with forced payment for multiplayer, it's always a downside to the Xbone and PS4 compared to the Wii U. Not that it says anything about the better service, it's just that PC and Wii U don't charge people to play online which is very nice. It's the main reason I was considering the Wii U version.

Unless you play on pc you're gonna be paying a monthly fee eventually, just make peace with it at this point.

I honestly am way too excited to get my hands on the guitar and just become a shut-in. Has anyone heard from their local stores if they'll be doing a midnight release for the game? I'll be asking my store when I pay off the game today, just looking to see if other places may be hinting at an early release.

Everything online on PS4 except F2P stuff and games with subscriptions require PS+. I'm just happy it's not an issue for me since I have PS+ for the free games anyway, would definitely be really annoying otherwise.
PS3 and WiiU should definitely both be completely free.
