Holy shit, am i glad I didn't buy the bundle pack for that. Apparently tons of people had broken instruments when they bought it. Not just a few people, a ton. So, i just bought the game alone and use my RB2 instruments. Other than that, the game is a shitload of fun. The RB2 setlist still kicks the GH:WT setlist's ass, but the music studio makes up for that hugely. Just wanted to give my mini-review on GH. BTW, for anyone who gives a shit, I put up a song on GHtunes

Today Never Lasts by Cometsfan

Anybody who has put up any songs that they want to share, post the name of the song and your gamertag and i'll download it and tell you what I think.

...Where's the love for gutar hero?

riley

...Well...I'll just carry on this little conversation with myself...

Riley

I love Guitar Hero, but I don't have three friends to play with.

I mean, I have three friends, but they don't like Guitar Hero.  Well, my one friend does, but he truly sucks.  We tried "Slow Ride" like, twenty times.  Seriously. 

Why do I have to talk? Geez, you guys as such... Oh, uh, yeah. Guitar...Hero.

I love the GH series, but it looks like Rock Band has officially raped Guitar Band with its whammy up the...um...something. Guitareroticism aside, I have to agree with you that more awesome songs (GH:WT) is better than a bunch of songs, and less awesome ones (RB2). But for the most part, people like RB2's long list of tracks. And the lack of broken instruments. Believe it or not, that's a smart move.

I left it my friends to see whether they liked GH:WT or RB2 better. (I was busy seeing if CoD:WaW was as orgasmic as CoD4. Unfortunately, it failed by about .4 points.) The majority - AKA everyone except for the kid nobody likes - of my friends said they preferred GH:WT over RB2, but that's because they were all hardcore Guitar Heroes. Well, actually only my one friend deserves the title "Hardcore", but you get the idea. On the other hand, I was discussing the issue with other aquaintances and they preferred RB2's massive song list. So basically it's 50:50. Maybe 60:40. Yup.

So now do you feel not as alone, DV13? lol

Yeah, i was getting suicidal over here...Did I say that? Oh, of course I didn't. I typed. (WORST. JOKE. EVER.)

I'm one of the most hardcore guitar heroists (a word?) I know. I'm always in those nerdy Guitar Hero competitions with weirdos that like...PREP TALK their plastic guitars (Ok, maybe not) and I always kick ass. Just can't beat Through the Fire and Flames on expert. I can get about 15 seconds into the mofo though before it owns my ass and rips me a new one.

I'm pretty sick of these games. At first I thought it was a fun diversion and good idea, but then the sequel was released. Then more. Then Rock Band and it got REALLY popular. It's the SAME GAME with different tracks. I've tried it, it's not that great. I fail to understand how anyone can enjoy this for more than a week or two. I can not go to school without hearing it mentioned and it's driving me MAD. This is worse than Halo and Twilight.

Not saying it's a bad game, just overpraised and overmilked. If you like it that's fine.

Amen.

Speaking of Halo...

why do people know what halo is and not Half-Life 2? The game got a metacritic of 98%!

Mel, you're just like my girlfriend.  She won't play at all.  She's just like "it's pushing buttons.  Why is that fun?"  And I'm like "You won't even try!  How do you know you won't like it if you don't try?" and she's all "Nothing in my past gaming experience leads me to believe I would enjoy pressing buttons rhythmically on a fake guitar."

lol The concept makes perfect undeniable sense in your head.

No offense to your girlfriend, but I can't stand those people who say "Why are video games so fun? All you do is press buttons..." Uh, why is basketball so fun? All you do is throw balls. Why is soccer so fun? All you do is kick balls. Why is football so fun? All you do is grab balls. Damn it, at least video games aren't all about balls! Dick jokes aside, I just think that some people still think video games are just Pong and Pac-Man. They're works of art!

Well, except for Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Those are just a fun game for parties. And DDR is a good way to embarrass yourself. Unless you go to Japan.

Well, she will play other games.  I think her point is that in most other games, the button pressing relates to on screen activity like swordfighting or intercepting a pass or whatever. 

has anyone tried the music studio on GHWT? i got it for christmas and ive glanced at it, but havent spent much time on it. (the music editor that is).

as for the game itself, pretty solid. but its still missing something. it just doesnt seem to have added enough to it to make it worth alot of praise. its not a bad game and all, but it could have been much better.

Don't know much about music, but I can make some pretty badass songs. Can't make any covers of actual songs, but I can make my own shit.

Riley

The Barney Theme Song is not your original work, DV.

Bullshit! They just didn't give any fucking credit for it. I wrote Stairway to Heaven too. Fucking Led Zeppelin...

Riley

I'm a complicated man Mr. Jay Jay Jay. Very complicated indeed.

Riley

Fall on the snare drum...hehe...what kind of idiot would do that...

RB has Al the small things AND Dammit for DLC, so WHAT!? that's RB kicking ass in every way...except Sublime i guess...but that's a matter of opinion.
