I'm trying to get all the photos, doing expert drums. Can't Buy Me Love and Boys are fairly tricky on drums so I'll try and get those down tomorrow. Getting 100% on Helter Skelter is gonna be a challenge and a half alright! I GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!

What would you say of the difficulty level on guitar or drums is Cedom? Is there anything you found tricky at any stage?
I only recently started playing the drums in RB2 and could 5* most stuff early on in the beatles on hard as opposed to looking like animal from the muppits when playing RB2, so i would say it's really easy for the most part, the tough part would be playing for the achievements on expert. They aint kind.
The guitar is the main reason i dont rate this so highly, too easy to keep me interested. As I said earlier not the games fault its just the songs dont lent to difficulty. Going for the achievements / challenges on them is proving tricky though. I developed a habit of using and "insurance strum" on sequences of HOPO's like ill strum 1 in 4 for example so as if i mess up ill get back in quickly. but 3 or 4 of the challenges involves playing all the hopo's in an epxert song without strumming them, and it's proving to be a really frustrating habit to break for me

I too use that method in certain situations, but in things like "Caprici Di Diablo" it's safer to let the HoPo carry you. Let's have a look at these achievements. Hmm they do actually look like fun. That shoud keep me entertainedin December0 -

Just got it yesterday and spent most of the evening playing.
I, for one, don't find it overly easy - but aside from a 30 minute stint at a party recently on GH3, this is the first guitar / rhythm game I've played.
So I've been having fun on easy guitar and easy drums... looking forward to improving on them both. Though I'm doing pretty well on hard difficulty for the singing. I know these songs too well.
It's a little annoying when the beats don't seem to follow the song, or when it's obvious to me that I'm only strumming every second or third note -- probably a symptom of playing on easy but it actually throws me off at times. Also a bit strange playing 'guitar' to a piano piece on a couple of tracks. So far this has felt slightly less like playing along with the songs, and more like pressing buttons when I'm told to, than GH3 did when I played that. Again, that'll probably improve as I do. Too much concentration being spent on not ****ing it up at the moment
Really enjoying the singing though
-- much more than I thought I would.
Bottom line -- couple of things not as good as I had hoped (story mode being another... I'd thought there'd be some story to it, but essentially it's just another way to pick one track at a time. No real difference between that and quickplay as far as I can see)... but I'll be playing this game for a long time, I reckon, and expect my enjoyment will increase as my skill does.0 -

Once you start playing the guitar and drums on higher difficulties it will feel like your playing the song more.
On easy it will give you a colour to hit every few seconds but obviously when you go to a higher difficulty their will be more to hit so it represents the song better.0 -
Yeah, that's what I figured alright. Just not ready for higher difficulties yet -- even on medium it was a struggle (and often a failed attempt) to even finish a songDeleted User wrote: »Once you start playing the guitar and drums on higher difficulties it will feel like your playing the song more.

Well, I just can't stop playing this.
I got the "No One's Frightened of Playing" achievement with a Bass FC of Taxman, good enough for 86th on the global leaderboards
Also, currently the 5th highest gamerscore in the game in Ireland with 620 points.
As for my failures... I still haven't 100%'d the drum solo in 'The End'.
I won't ever FC Helter Skelter on drums... just won't happen, I don't have da skillz. Also, used to think I was a decent-ish singer when it came to games, but the harmonies in this show me up in a big way...
I know the game is easier than most, but the Gold Star cut-offs are sick difficult on some songs, impossible on others!! So, plenty of challenge here and I won't ever get near the 1000 GS!0 -

Yeah, Full Combo. In other words, Going through an entire song without breaking (messing up) your combo. Originated in games like DDR (dance dance revo.) where the game would actually tell you you got a full combo at the end of a song. RB has no equivanlent in game mechanism although 5 gold stars means you probably only messed up once or twice.Burning Eclipse wrote: »FC is short for Full Combo. Which is hitting 100% of notes on Expert difficulty without overstrumming.
Sorry, I forgot we have visitors who may be new to the game at the moment. Any more jargon will be explained on the spot.:o
Also, I wouldn't say it's confined to Expert only, I mean you can FC a song on Easy, it's just the only people who care about FC-ing are us sad-os playing on expert 0 -
Got over 90% guitar and vocals (at same time) on medium for Lucy in the Sky last night
Definitely more enjoyable once you figure out where your fingers are going and get off the easy difficulty. But it might be a while before I 'FC' anything
Great game. And, thankfully, my non-Beatles-fanatic flatmates are enjoying the hell out of it too. Hard not to enjoy these songs tbh.
Some glaring omissions in the track list though. HELP!, Strawberry Fields and Hey Jude come to mind. Plenty more I'd love to play. And $16.98 (according to Wiki) for the download content albums is pricey enough :-/. Still hoping there's more coming than the current three they have listed (Abbey Road, Peppers, Rubber Soul).0 -
