List of Songs Helpful For Getting the 'HOPO-cidal Maniac' Achievement (WiP)

Recommended Posts

Please note this is work in progress. I do have a lot of DLC, and I'll add any songs I come across, but I can't remember every song with a lot of HO/POs, so rather than ranting at me to fix this, please just help me by informing me politely.

 

What is the HOPO-Cidal Maniac Achievement?

This achievement worth 25 gamerscore is for hitting a whopping 53,596 Hammer-ons and Pulloffs. You must not strum them for them to count, and it must be on guitar. Obviously this is a lot of work, but you can cut down some of your time by playing these songs, which have moderate to heavy use of HOPOs.

 

If a song is green like this, it is fairly easy even for players of lower skill.

 

If a song is orange like this, it means that a skilled player shouldn't break a sweat but if you are new to this game you may have trouble.

 

If a song is red like this, it means that you should take caution with these songs if you are an average player as they are difficult to even pass.

Thanks for the suggestion guys, added them to the list. I haven't got time to work on it now, because I'm off to school in a few, but I'll get to work on adding ratios. I assume this is the kind of thing you mean...

 

GGaHT with a ratio of 11 (length) to about 8 (lots of hammer-ons in both of it's epic solos). I'd write it like this

 

11:8

You come on an a website about achievements and say that.

 

 

Llama by Phish

Rainbow in the Dark by Dio

 

cause ived focused on everything else and just came back to watch how far the hopo was and it was at 45 k. A full song of less talk more rokk gave me around 1 k ish hopos btw.. something close to that when i got 99% notes hit.

Just say how long the song is and how many hammer-ons/pull-offs there are in the song. I'm sure people will be able to figure out the average amount per minute, based on those figures. Unless they failed basic math...

Hysteria on bass would be good, but it's under guitar goals so as far as I'm aware it can only be done on guitar. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Also, I have no clue if hammer-ons count if you use the solo buttons, I'm gonna research it and let you know.

 

As for the average ratio, it would be quite difficult to do if I have to count every hammer-on in a song because some of these songs I may not actually own, so how would i count it if I don't own it?

 

Have added all the suggestions above to this list.

if you are really good (were talking like best of the best) and want to get this fast:

 

- Caprici Di Diablo (DLC - Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force)

- Rude Mood (DLC - Stevie Ray Vaughn)

- Hangar 18 (DLC - Megadeth)

 

i recommend no fail for any of these

I'm not sure how much effort it would take, but it would be cool if you could add the song length to HOPO ratio for songs. I think "Hallowed Be Thy Name (Live)" by Iron Maiden has quite a few.

 

"Chiron" is 4:24 and gives an average of 800 HOPO's per run, though that's the only one I know specifically. I think it's safe to say that Less Talk More Rokk is the best song for this, as it's 4:59 and has about 1,000 HOPO's per run with an easy pattern for the fingers to play (it's also very cheap to buy at 80msp).

 

Random things to add from my experience with the achievement; I got 20,000 HOPO's from doing all the individual guitar goals and the Endless Setlist III, so you may as well do them first if you're a completionist. The achievement itself is actually very easy to get if you decide to grind the songs, playing a strong HOPO-based chart can get you the achievement in under six hours if you start from scratch and under 3.5 hours if you get the other guitar goals done before grinding. I relate it to the 10,000 scratches/5,000 crossfades in DJ Hero, it's a lot less daunting than it sounds.

 

Just play the game... got like 45 k atm and havent even focused on the cheevie.

 

Not everyone enjoys playing the guitar, I certainly don't even though I'm well above average at it. I'll never have as much fun flailing fingers as I do hitting the crap out of my drums, so it's nice to just get these achievements out of the way fast.

This list REALLY needs total song length and total possible HOPO's, otherwise it's just a bunch of speculation as far as I'm concerned.

 

I hereby volunteer you to watch every single guitar chart on the list and count every single one of the thousands of HO/POs yourself.

 

Personally, I'm just going to play them all (that I have) and see how close I am by then.
