It was worth the $200 for me

this game is definitely a game with replay value, especially if you're competitive. Not only is 5* on expert difficult, but after 5* there is a HUGE margin for score improvement... with rewinds, euphoria, and effects dial there are so many ways to jack up your score, that pathing is gonna be ridiculous... and just forget full combos... the intense beats this game puts your hands through is gonna make this game take longer than gh2 or 3 >_<

Still never answered my other question (Well, not directly anyway)

In a month (around Christmas time) Will people still be playing this, specifically here on SH? Im guessing yes, especially if JCirri adds scoretracking. Will there stil be competition in a month and a half?

Yes, ppl will definitely be playing, and competing on this game. I think more so than even on guitar hero.

One thing I think will happen with dj hero, is that the ppl who have been dissapointed in guitar hero no longer being guitar focused, will find their fun on dj hero. It's the downside of a "full band" game. The song list has to be based around 4 different instruments. And the tradeoffs, are intense guitar / drum tracks with nothing but screamer (talkie) vocals. Or crazy vocals with retardedly simple guitar and drum sets... and still bass is the "back seat" position no matter what enhancements they've given it... Dj hero is an entire game focused around one instrument, and thus only needs to worry about that one instrument getting what it needs out of any release.

Also the challenge level is more likely to be upkept. Think about it: for guitar hero, to have a difficult guitar song, the song has to exist first, or be written specifically for guitar hero. But on dj hero, each mashup is designed for the game. This means, no matter the source material, difficulty is essentially set by the dj as he mixes it. So they don't even need to get really intense songs, as they can just mix them with intensity. Take a look at the different mixes which overlap song samples. Heard it through he grapevine for instance has two mixes, one pretty easy, then another which is more difficult.

So not only is dj hero a 1 instrument game, allowing more focused competition, but also will have more difficulty dlc options more readily available as the original songs complexity is irrelivant.

I think the only thing they should add is DJ+Gtr vs DJ+Gtr

I have noticed that the DJ + Guitar songs are incredibly hard for me to 5*

I still think I suck though

Grimnir definitely has a point on this one.

Of my 10 remaining 5*'s,
1 is Beats and Pieces,
1 is Rockit,
1 is some other "Very Hard" Intensity song

and 7 are guitar mixes (2 are Average intensity).

At first I thought it was because of the lack or rewinds, but at this point I think it's just a lack of combo-ability

How hard is it to FC even the easiest of songs?

It seems like almost no one has THAT many FCs yet. Is it just really chokable or the hardware?

what hailz said.

Full combos would be easier if you didn't rewind, but then your score would be so crap it might as well not be a fc...

Pathing in this game is gonna be crazy, with rewinds and euphoria in the mix. So is squeezing, especially with the effect dial areas... Has anyone tried squeezing a cross fade + note into an effect dial area? I've squeezed cross fades and notes.. but I'm not good enough to get them both yet lol >_<
