[@EvilApple567]

Dropped it pretty hard on the 5th act, good thing GH scores can't get concussions

If you're playing this game on original hardware in 2024, I URGE you to get some component video cables and set the game to widescreen and progressive scan. It makes a world of difference. Sick score btw, this song kicks my ass

jesus christ

[@Rocketmanba04]

But question is can you get 1st place on slow ride on easy difficulty? 🤨🤨🤨

[@droyal1994]

How are there so many 1st places to get lmao you’ve been getting them as if this game hasn’t been optimized to shit

[@KyleHUNK]

GH2 and GH5 are probably the least optimized games in the series. Every score apple has gotten has been pretty damn optimized though, so I’m cheering this madness on as much as I can

[@droyal1994]

@@KyleHUNK really????? I thought GH2 was one of the more heavily score grinded games outside GH3. I’m actually suprised to hear it’s in GH5s camp of all games

[@KyleHUNK]

@@droyal1994 Yeah GH2 is just a very hard engine to optimize with all of the early whammy. Some songs are super optimized, then many have a lot of squeezes left, especially if they are higher BPM with a lot of early whammy. GH3, GHA and GH1 are the insanely optimized games as a note.

[@EvilApple567]

@@droyal1994 Well (even though they generally are), conflating "competitive" and "optimized" isn't necessarily true. While GH2 isn't on the same level of either as GH3 (this probably has a decent amount to do with different versions, both Xbox and NTSC/PAL), as Kyle said the engine is just more difficult (such as not being able to activate on the frame you hit a note) and of course early whammy.
