Metallica is just.... unfinished
Yes it's a good game, but It feels very janky and sloppily put together.
1. There is more dropped taps in extreme than any other tap tap before! During riffs with a lot of notes thrown, I miss like 1/5 of them. It's not my fault I'm awesome :) but they be droppin.
2. That pop-up/end song thing. I don't know if it's a bug or if it's purposely put in, but if you get a text or the always excepted 20/10% battery remaining. The song ends, and since 1/2 the songs are 7 minutes long. Being 6 min into Master of Puppets and getting a texts can make me want to see my phone in pieces!
3. After your song quits because of your text, if you try and replay, the whole app quits. That's most obviously a bug...
4. Theres a few songs that don't jump difficulty. Most songs are like "Blank song" Easy/Hard or Medium/Extreme. But there are a few songs that stay on the lower levels or high level difficulties. (For Whom the Bells Tolls - Easy/Medium, King Nothing - Easy/Medium, Seek and Destroy - Hard/Extreme, All Nightmare Long - Hard/Extreme) there might be more I didn't look very hard. So if you're like me and NEVER Play on Easy or Medium It's pretty annoying. There just so boring! :(
5. The Unlocked tracks (idk if u should call them "Boss" tracks, they're not different at all) have issues with switching between normal and revenge themes. You could be in 8x but still have the blue scale theme going? and Vice versa.
6. The 16x button seems to have a smaller tap area than TTR3, I seem to always be either hitting above or below it, ending my streak.
7. The Tap notifier doesn't work, hitting the note early still gives you full point. I know this isn't "bad' but It kind of lies about how good you are.
8. Extreme mode sucks! The perspective makes it difficult, the amount of reach on song portions hurts, and like I mentioned in 1, waayy to many dropped taps.
There are some really good things, and I know you're probably aware of all these problems. But I'm just trying to say that everyone else is too. This addition to the series is way to buggy. I'm just surprised it was actually released. Isn't that what beta testers are for?

are u able to do some kind if monster cuz for me notes in the left lane always drop and i know it isnt human error -
That was from a few days ago. The only error made was when I went to hit 16x and I missed. It's easily FCable, no drops.
PS: DXChain FCd it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFYvf_... -

Inappropriate?You have proven your point: Your grip does work and that's great, but the issue is that people like me cannot play like that for their life, and new users and other users who just pick up the game for the first time are definitely not going to play like that (Maybe 1 in 1000 people would play like that for their first time). They're probably gonna use two thumbs, two fingers, or whatever the heck noobs use when they buy a Tap Tap game.
The issue is that extreme mode does not work for any of the traditional grips, and that's what bothers me. There should not be a specific way to play this game. It's a freakin portable game on an iPod. I should be able to play with my thumbs like I have been for every single tap tap game1 Comment Add a comment

So when other people have problems adapting to flawed game mechanics it's human error, but when you specifically have trouble adapting the game must be flawed? Adapt, or await a new bugfix release.
-
Inappropriate?Just for the record, I didn't suddenly "know" how to play 4 or 5 lanes on the day they were introduced. It took some learning and subsequent practice to get the technique down (ever since Lady Gaga Revenge), which is quite a stretch from all the grips I've used throughout the TTR series.
What I'm saying is that I adapted to the games as their gameplay changed. If a "noob who buys a tap tap game" can perform well or even FC an extreme song on day 1, then chances are the game is too dumbed down.7 Comments Add a comment

Hey DX, I was surprised to see you were still just using your left thumb and your right pointer and middle finger (so three fingers total) on the 5-lane landscape mode. I've been trying to figure a way to get more fingers on the screen, thinking the best equivalent of your portrait grip would involve have a finger for every lane. Since your original portrait grip has served me so well, I think I'm going to give your version of the landscape mode a go as well.
Quick somewhat-related question, when you're playing the 4-lane portrait songs, do you use thumb and two fingers or three fingers? I'm doing pretty well with thumb plus three fingers, but anybody with bigger hands probably couldn't.
Thanks. -
For 4-lane portrait I just use my typical 3-lane grip.
-
So instead of a finger for every lane, you dance your right hand pointer and middle among the three right-most lanes, similar to how you're doing in the five-lane video above for the four right-most lanes?
-
Yes, because the right pinky finger acts as a support for the right side of the iPod. Each song I'm doing on extreme Metallica has a slightly different style, but you'll be able to notice the maneuvers as I upload more videos. All Nightmare Long should be coming up within the next hour or two.

and this is only by using two thumbs but if i can use 3,4 or 5 wouldn't it be better. -
Inappropriate?I agree that this game is very droppy. Playing TTR3, it's a lot better than I expected actually, probably about as good as TTR2. Playing Metallica, it's dropping for me, even on Medium (that's right, 3-lane tracks too)! Now, I do have a 1st gen ipod still, but come on, if TTR3 is good, why the heck is Metallica not? It's not like it's been a long time since TTR3 came out. -

I have the top score with like 2 misses cuz of the gay out of sync last section.

That could be a reason...

Inappropriate?I've had the same problem as well. I use a 2nd Gen. iPod Touch, 32GB and lots on the left and some on the middle drop out. Guess what?? I have been eying these notes and they seem to mostly be the exact same ones that drop. Only 5% of the time when I play a song do they get accepted. Another thing, I do not believe the software is bugged but the song is instead. Recently they released Fuel for TTR3 and that song has been showing the same signs of drops outs and the misses are not because of human error. I've been trying to FC songs. Doesn't quite work if there are bugs preventing that.
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?C'mon, where is the Metallica update... I'm sorry I know you're probably working on it, but It's getting insanely annoying playing that game I was just like 6 minutes into a song, doing pretty well to, and I got a "20% Battery Remaining Message" and it ended the game.. It's almost been a month and it's still the buggiest game I've ever played!4 Comments Add a comment

Wait wait wait...did you just complain to Tapulous about a battery warning?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Ok now that I got that out of the way, here's what you can do:
1) Jailbreak and disable battery warnings
2) STFU
3) Play with the dock cable plugged to a USB power source
4) STFU
5) Only play with a moderate battery level, say, 40% or up (you know, the little battery graphic on the top right is there for a reason)
6) STFU
7) Complain to Apple and send them an angry letter expressing that you think it's silly that your device warns you when your battery runs low (Who would ever want something like that, right?!)
8) STFU
9) Quit your bit--I mean, whining altogether :)
10) STFU
Your pick boss. -
:)
Or or or... i could complain to Tapulous. As it's not the battery warning that I'm complaining about, but the bug in Metallica that causes the song to F up becuase..... Seeing as how this is a support forum and this is a very legitimate complaint, I see it fit I post. -
"it's not the battery warning that I'm complaining about"
...
"I was just like 6 minutes into a song, doing pretty well to, and I got a "20% Battery Remaining Message" and it ended the game.."

"The bug in Metallica that causes the song to F up"
Exactly what "bug" are you talking about here? I found no such issue in the game. Does it need some tweaking to get the tap targets in better shape/dimensions? Sure, but there is absolutely no "bug that makes the song F up."
That's got to be the dumbest, most childish explanation for what is greatly caused by the player rather than the game itself (it's so bad, it's right up there with BPP's "Can we have another invulnerability powerup to get the FC award?" suggestion).
Don't believe me? Go to my youtube channel and notice how this supposed bug of yours is nowhere to be found in any of the Metallica FC videos I uploaded.
http://www.youtube.com/chaindude84 -
When you get a text or a pop up of any kind, the song ends abruptly. That is either a "BUG" or an insanely sh*tty feature. I'm not complaining about battery warnings, I'm complaining about what the battery warnings cause in the application. I don't know why it's so hard for you to understand that?
-
Inappropriate?Yeah... I was just playing "Fuel" on extreme and In the middle of the song My 8x just drops... I still have a streak and I'm still at 100% but no multiplier, and even worse news, it wouldn't go up no matter how many notes I hit. I was stuck at 1x... so I purposely ended my streak so It would register a miss so I could build up again... then like 2 minutes later the multiplier, score, and percent all whited out..

i dont get the meaning of the picture^^
-
It shows the white blocks.
Interesting.... -
Your multiplier wasn't gone. If you observed carefully to the rate your score was increasing, you would've found it was at 8x. The bug in Metallica deactivated the Revenge theme and multipliers making it appear as if you didn't have 8x. To clear this bug simply activate a 16x multiplier and everything should back to normal. Don't know what's with the white boxes but ignore it. The scores should still be counting up.
-
I know of that bug... This wasn't it. My multiplier was gone and I was getting 150 pts each notes even though my streak was at 300ish.
