Achievement Preview: Guitar Hero Metallica

71
Dan Webb

Another day, another trophy list courtesy of our sister site, PS3Trophies.org. Today's lesson is Guitar Hero: Metallica.

Check out the Guitar Hero: Metallica list here.

The list doesn't look too bad, although some of GH: Metallica's top scores could prove tricky for schmoes like me. What are your thoughts?

Why do we call it a preview? Because through some miracle, the achievements may differ to the trophies. Some food for thought though, they've been the same everytime so far on multiplatform titles released after the trophy system came in.

  • Why is it that the Trophies are getting revealed before the Achievements ?
  • wheelman list is already out on thsi site, you might want to fix that
  • this*
  • achievements look pretty easy but fun. can't wait to get gh:metallica!
  • I've been waiting for the GH:Metallica list for a while. Thanks!
  • GOD DAMNIT! More damn Co op achieves
  • ok first, the metallica list looks hard (100% a song in 4-man band?!?!?!) anyway, KING DIAMOND IS CONFIRMED!!!!!!!
  • yea good question y does the bloody PSN get their "achievements" before us
  • I can kinda understand why Metallica has its own game (being an awesome band in the 80's)... but come on. This band is horrible. Their attitudes towards everything suck. Did anyone read last months article about this game and they interviewed Lars. I wanted to punch him in the face when he said he called Activision wanting a free xbox 360 and guitar hero game because Metallica was on it. Are you that much of a selfish bastard you can't go buy your own 360. Your a multi millionaire you cant drop $400 on a xbox and guitar hero yourself? Plus he bitches about stealing money from artists and uh hey lars when you got your free guitar hero you just completely ripped off every artist in the game. This game is a waste. I will never own or rent it, let alone play it at all.
  • Uuugh. Those metallica achievements look only slightly harder than the world tour achievements. But I can't deny, almost every name is a reference (Which is awesome). But I was hoping for more "score x amount of points on song y", or something with a challange.
  • Would you look at that ... the Wheelman list is already up :P *goes to fix*
  • im sure wheelman was already announced ages ago!?!?!?!?
  • not fond of the co-op achievements
  • god damnit these are hard and time consuming!!! and im pro at gh :P
  • HELLZ YES!!!! I hope to have no problem... I love Metallica and i shall play it until death! Score wise i got mine preordered with extra pedal but so far # 1 on Broken Beat, Scarred drums expert world tour!!!
  • looks like a fairly simple but still slightly challenging list however, this game will not be adding to my gamerscore. after the atrocity that was GHWT, I don't plan on buying another GH game. Rock Band will get all of my money.
  • i agree with #16. plus, these achievements/trophies are almost identical to previous GH games only its themed with Metallica. oh well...
  • SOme of the scoring ones look a bit difficult and all trhe career ones... damn boring.
  • been waiting for a list for a loooooooooooooong time
  • These are almost identical to the GHWT list. You can tell almost no thought went into these. Some originality please...
  • "I wanted to punch him in the face when he said he called Activision wanting a free xbox 360 and guitar hero game because Metallica was on it. Are you that much of a selfish bastard you can't go buy your own 360. Your a multi millionaire you cant drop $400 on a xbox and guitar hero yourself?" I agree with this, but this by no means is a reason for me to not buy or rent GH Metallica. I've been a fan for years, and I have complete and utter faith that this will deliver on the hype.
  • lol lemmy achievement
  • These are pretty much identical to World Tours achievements. lol
  • Haha, I love how we already know what the secret ones are.
  • from what i remember of the song list, the only song i really wanted to play that i cant(?) get without this game is turn the page by Bob Segar. one of my favorite songs, and thank god they did not do their cover version, but i wont get started on that... but it the achievements look fair, u can get a decent amount of points for just a casual player...
  • I need a good 4 player band//
  • Rock out as King Diamond? I think my pants just exploded.
  • boring achievements. -complete career as every instrument & with a bandmate (i guess you'll get play every venue from this too) (& play once as every instrument) (& complete a career on expert) -activate star power with your band -play online 20 times (win 1 in every category) -watch a "Metallifacts" video?....ok -make a logo, instrument design,custom rocker, & tatoo. -then get a score over a certin ammount EASY! it's just time consuming playing through the career 5 times. with achievements like: -Hit every star phrase in the song Orion -Drum every green note and finish the song Blood and Thunder with the rock meter in green -100% a song (4 player band) ppl will just put it on easy & get them first try. i bet a lot of ppl will have the 1000 within 2-3 days.
  • kindda really simaler to gh world tour
  • Will they ever figure out that not everyone has 8 different fucking people to choose from when playing rhythm games? They will never get the clue. Either way, It doesn't even look good, I'll pass.
  • GH list are getting worse and worse
  • I love this setlist. Playing Blood & Thunder on drums is going to be insane. I effing love Mastodon, and Brann Dailor is the balls.
  • can't wait for this game to come out!
  • METALILICA !!!!! is the best band ever, this game is gonna be so awsome, compared to the disapointing guitar hero world tour.
  • meh, al hope for a gh:disturbed...
  • Most of those achievements look kinda easy.
  • look a bit like guitar hero world tour achievements... that's a challenge! but i prefermetallica's money achievement = getting 15,000$ instead of 1 000 000,00$ LOL
  • #5 thank god someone else thinks that man i totally agree
  • @35 hell yeah!! the achievs are kinda meh tho
  • The acheivements look kind of basic, but they seem to be spread out very nicely. I just want to see how much each of them will be worth.
  • Well, this is a game I won't be getting for achievement hording. And I'll definitely wait until I can buy it used to make sure none of that money gets to Metallica. I'm still bitter about them shutting down my Napster account.
  • thank you for almost the exact same achievements as world tour haha. oh well im stoked since ill be regaining the ones i already have on WT, and plus IT IS METALLICA. shit yes
  • Seriously if you can play as King Diamond I may need a change of pants, cause that would be so awesome.
  • I'm with #5
  • not interested. anything after the black album was lame anyways. . .
  • great .. but i guess its hard to get 1000/1000 :(
  • overrated shitgroup gets their own overrated shitgame Bullshit
  • Dont look too good like not sure about this game anymore :-/
  • yoy
  • Cant wait...After this, there will be no more music games for me. This will never be beaten by Harmonix or Activision themselves. Metallica 4 life.
  • @ 16 every guitar hero game is the same always has been so saying that world tour was an atrocity is like saying all the other games were too world tour rocks you know it you prolly just suck at it.
  • first
  • neversoft killed it. gh3 was ace, should have just stuck with that layout and game play.. the new pull off engine is shite
  • GH Metallica= SWEET! but com eon with these pain in the ass achivements (play song with 4 people) so gay
  • xJakerockerx is a complete fucking tool.
  • To 52 Guitar Hero world WAS an atrocity, yeah it was all nice and shiny but the setlist was absolute tripe, and its the songs that make the game, hence GH3 was miles better GHWT.
  • Should be an easy 1000G! When's this out?
  • Don't plan to pick the game up yet but the achievements look pretty challenging and OMG you actually have to achieve some of them rather than "hit 250,000 notes" damm you GHIII!!
  • might rent this for some easy points; but why did they have to do the band vs band achievement again? i still have never played a band vs band match in world tour and i've had that game since launch
  • @19 you said it. This list is no different than "World Tour", except for the Expert+ and scoring achievements. We have to know that this game is just a rehash of World Tour with Metallica in it. Just like GH: Aerosmith was just GH3 with Aerosmith in it. We shouldn't be surprised when it turns out this game sucks. Either way, I want to play the songs, and get the achievements.
  • i agree with #35 but also,im a huge fan of metallica, but not enough to get this game with wack achievements. ill let my friend get it and play it at his house like gear 2.
  • doent look to bad
  • Everyone hating on this game: Yes, the achievements are unoriginal. Yes, Lars is an asshole. Yes, GHWT had a TERRIBLE track list. But these rhythm games are about the songs, and this game is going to have awesome songs. It's going to be a really fun, and an easy 1000. What is everyone bitching about?!? I know that this is an achievement hording site, but some games are fun without worrying about the achievements.
  • #55 Only if you knew! Douche Bag.
  • Very nice list, I think I like this one better than World Tour's even though there are a few similarities with the lists. I can see myself getting the 1000 on this quicker than the others, I still need to finish of World Tour =(
  • im just glad multiple people this this site has mentioned King Diamond in these comments. he should have his own GH game, but instead of "set lists", you go through the story of one or two of his albums. would make for better cut scenes then stereotypical white rock guys grunting and gesturing.
  • not thrilled w/ the achievement list, but it's not horrible either. i was kind of on the fence about the game, but "Rock out as King Diamond" means we must get this on launch day. the hubby's been waiting for that FOREVER.
  • how are we gonna get platinum artist if we dont have trophies?
  • Well really what would you want in GH games achievements? Cause if you ask me, there's nothing wrong with this list. Covers completion of the game pretty well in my opinion?
  • I'm loving that most of the achievements are named after a song of them. This list doesn't look to hard either, I could most definitely get an easy 750 or something outta this game with no trouble! Thanks for the list
  • Fuck you #5. If your just going to bitch about how you don't like Metallica, why even comment?
