Then, with pressure applied to the side of the key to hold it down, used tweezers to free the two plastic catches until the key popped out. Instead of prying the keys as the OP wrote, I removed all screws, gently removed the pcb and cables, as well as the rubber dome. The keys on mine did not stick, but they did annoyingly squeak and I felt that the pressure required to play barre chords was a bit much. I highly recommend people spend 5, 10 minutes doing this even if your guitar isn't that bad. If the keys stay pushed down after pressing them, even if occasionally, pull the key apart and wipe the insides off. If the problem isn't solved, try adding a little more. Again, the keys also have extruding tabs in them that fit slits in the guitar, so be sure to mind those.ĥ- Press them in repetitively to spread the lubricant evenly. I've applied mine then wiped it off, leaving the surfaces slightly coated, more than that would make the keys stick on pressing down.Ĥ- Carefully put the keys back in their respective layout, there are small "tabs" on two sides of the keys, so you might want to get one side of the key in first, then squeeze the key into position. I would recommend doing this only if really needed or if being very careful not to break the keys, has they each have a small extruding plastic tab in them, differently positioned according to their position on the guitar's neck.ġ- Put your thumb on the side of the key you wish to remove and your index finger as a support in the middle of the white and black keys to allow a lever motion.Ģ- Move your thumb upwards to lift the key, slowly increasing the pulling force until it pops out.ģ- Apply non-drying lubricant on all of the inside plastic parts, you only need a VERY little amount. Although the benefits are so trivial we can’t see why anyone would pay real money for them.The keys are removable, though don't seem to be very solid. It’s still just basic stuff like increasing the score multiplayer or reducing the number of notes for a short period, so it seems a bit odd to separate it out like that – until you realise it’s also an excuse for microtransactions. ![]() The idea is that you use in-game money to buy a power and then use it whenever you want. GHTV is also the only place you can use ‘Hero Powers’, which replace the previous games’ Star Power ability. We’re still not sure why Activision couldn’t also give you the option to buy a song if you want, but perhaps that will come later if there’s enough call for it. For the casual player, who’s not too bothered about what they play as long as they can find something they like, it actually seems a very fair deal that would likely see them spending less than if there’d been traditional DLC.īut for those that want to practice a song that’s not one of the initial 42 on the disc it can quickly become expensive and/or a grind-fest to acquire more in-game currency. This is no doubt going to court an enormous amount of controversy, but we’re in two minds about it. Guitar Hero Live (PS4) – you get music videos instead of crowds in GHTVīut if you want to play a specific song then you’re either going to have to pay with real money or make sure you always have some in-game credit in reserve. There’s matchmaking for finding you a partner online and the various themed playlists change so often it’s easy to get sucked in for hours even when you’re on your own. It’s divided into channels and is presented as a sort of 24 hour music network. On the other hand GHTV is much more involved, and unlike Rock Band 4 has a fair emphasis on online multiplayer. Presumably this is because of the lack of bass or drum controllers, but either way the lack of local multiplayer options is a pity – and one area where Rock Band 4 offers a clear advantage. The mode seems especially superfluous given there’s no multiplayer campaign to play through. It quickly becomes clear that the campaign mode is really not worth the trouble of all the live action footage, and not only is it over very quickly but the derision you’ll feel for your fellow musicians makes it impossible to care what’s going on. However, the acting of your fellow on-stage band members is cringingly awful, like a bad Command & Conquer cut scene from the late ’90s. They still react to your performance well enough and for us are a much better option than the poorly detailed, cartoonish figures in other music games. In story mode the view of the crowd is via first person live action footage of real people. In terms of modes the game is split between a standard story campaign and the online ‘GHTV’.
