Why I can't play GH3 on Medium on my Mac.

I now know why I can't play GH3 on Medium on my Mac.

Simple reason - latency.

The Mac version of GH3 does not, and will not, run as smoothly on my
MBP as it will on an Xbox 360. It has to go through many processes in
loading the graphics (Cider, the X1600 card itself, the 16ms response
time display), as compared to the Xbox 360 (GPU, HDTV).

I just played Guitar Hero Aerosmith on my brother's 360. I'm currently
stuck at the Joe Perry Boss Battle (that guy is tough). But other than
that, I currently have a career score of >2,000,000 on Medium alone. I
even have songs scoring 5*s.

So, for the record, I can play Guitar Hero on Medium. and for the
slower songs, like "Dream On" by Aerosmith, I can even play on Hard.

It just matters on the platform.

I know some people are going to say I'm the carpenter who blames his
tools. Well, a good carpenter can't do much with a stone as compared
to a saw, right?

So, in conclusion, I can play Guitar Hero on Medium. Except the Boss
Battles. It's too hard...*sobs*
