GH3: Let's take a look at some SHIT engineering.
travolta | 1:01 PM on 10.28.2007 13 comments




The following are photo's of the Xbox360 Gibson Les Paul Guitar.

The first picture is a picture of the inside of the guitar where the shaft goes into.

As you can see, there are 8 tiny pins right there.

When you usually look at electronic components that use pins... they're supposed to plug into something right?

WRONG!

I mean, I'm not the most technology saavy guy on the planet, but i know when things need to be plugged in.

If you look at the second picture of the shaft of the guitar it has a mini circuit board that has 8 little parts on it, where the PINS TOUCH TO

That's right, the pins TOUCH to this mini circuit board.

And what happens when you have a detachable guitar that is not securely fastened on there? Some of the pins are not touching to the circuit which causes you to...

FUCK UP THE SONG.

GG again Red Octane at being a bunch of mook fucks.

Way to test out your fucking products before the consumer purchases it.

FAIL.

Quit whining like a bitch. Fucking tape it if you have to. Or go return it and get the Xplorer instead.
travolta's Destructoid Blog
maybe you should go play with your asshole?
travolta's Destructoid Blog
and maybe shut your mouth, Brian.

I don't know what the fuck your talking about. Mine doesn't pop out while I'm playing or any shit like that. This guitar is fucking rad.
travolta's Destructoid Blog
I'm not saying that it pops out, im saying that when it's connected, its not a snug fit, so if you move the shaft at all, it disconnects.

i've been having problems with it. when i'm playing some of the buttons don't respond, and i noticed that this happens when the neck is not secure tightly in the body. plus the strum car is very loose on mind. and when there are numerous notes in a line it doesn't register them all. i had to switch back to the xplorer controller so i could actually finish songs.
Suff0cat's Destructoid Blog
Yeah..this shoddy engineering makes my Orange button sporadically stop working. Kinda fuckin annoying.

Good thing I chose to go with the PS2 version. GH1 controller ftw.
Butmac's Destructoid Blog
Yeah this is some serious bullshit.

And you can't tape it on because A) that looks fucking retarded and B) you can't remove the faceplates if you want to change them.

100$ for this? This really sucks.
Suff0cat's Destructoid Blog
Was there really that much demand for detachable neck to begin with? I honestly don't see how it makes it easier to travel or store the guitar.

@tazar: Yeah, it’s really annoying. I knew something was up when I was missing notes on fucking “Slow Ride”, the first song in the game. Then I remembered IGN’s report on the game a while back where they said that you have to press the buttons down securely to have the notes register. It’s true — even the slightest release (say, on a long sustained note) will cause you to stop playing that note. It’s quite annoying for me when I’m used to the way things played on the PS2 games.
Eschatos's Destructoid Blog
Whiny bitch.

I would end up losing one or the other piece of the guitar. Then having to waste more money on it. Blah.
