I would venture to guess it's the same damn thing as the last 3, so if you played the others you probably know the answer. =/

I'm drowning in hypocrisy here.

As for guitar hero, learn to play a guitar, takes just a teensy bit more effort, and is far more rewarding than matching colours in a video game.

Meh, the games ok imo. Has some pretty good songs, but the music editor lacks and a lot of songs are already on Rock Band/Rock Band 2. There have been many reports of instruments not working straight out of the box, or just stop working. I am no way a Rock Band fanboy, and I was really looking forward to this game, hoping it would take what made Rock Band succesfull and add to it (with stuff like the music editor), but tbh it failed.

No offense, but are you taking pride in the fact that you can play a plastic toy guitar? If you take that much pride, take a real challenge and learn to play a REAL guitar. Again, no offense.

What's wrong with taking a little pride in being good at something? Guitar Hero is a game, and plenty of people are proud at being good at those.

Of COURSE, GH isn't as difficult as playing real guitar- aside from basic rhythm and coordination, it's pretty much an entirely different skill set. So when someone says "hell yes, expert mode", they aren't saying it's the most impressive thing ever, they are just a little excited for doing something a good deal of people can't do, even though I don't know anyone who plays GH long enough and doesn't eventually get to expert.

All of the "OMG FAG LERN REEL JIITAR" needs to stop. GH is less expensive (well, not 4), you can just pick it up and play it. Regardless of what you think, real guitar actually takes much more dedication and is really hard to start, so the "if you spend that time playing real guitar then it would be good" needs to stop also.

I actually don't know a single fucking person who thinks being good at GH amounts to any real guitar playing skill.

This is coming from someone who plays guitar, and also GH.



Buuuuuuuut FUCK!

This thread is SUPPOSED to be about how good GH4 is, and I haven't played it yet. I'll probably get Rock Band 2, hoping that the peripherals are compatible with GH4.

I never got it.



You press the buttons as they come down and then when they are on the right spots you strum....whats so hard?

I just like it because it makes me feel like a hardass.

Also, I agree with jngrow. I was ignorant to think that being good at GH amounts to any real guitar playing skill. Oh well, just drop the topic know and let it be about GH4/WT or whatever.

qft.

I hate all the GH/RB fan boys that think they're totally amazing because they can play a plastic guitar. I actually got into an argument with some lamer because he thought that playing GH on expert was harder than playing a real instrument. I just pointed out the fact that he wouldn't even know how to hold bagpipes, yet I play them at competitive grade.

"No scoping" in real life isn't really that hard, I've got 3 or 4 deer while hunting by just snap shooting (bringing the rifle up and firing really quick, no using the sights or optics at all) in the woods.

I don't see all the hype of Guitar Hero at all, the original to present versions are all the same thing to be honest. I'd be less of a hater if they just brought out song packs for the original like expansions. Plus World Tour is just a rip off of Rock Band, so now they're completely out of ideas.

I want to meet these people. I have trouble believing they exist (people on the internets don't exist btw, it's all a conspiracy, all bots, sort of like the truman show, but with tubes.) I do agree with the expansion stuff though.

Also I almost beat career on hard. I feel leet :D but i still suck compared to expert lol

Oh wow there's more strumming whoopdee fucking shit. No one cares how fast you can strum when playing a real instrument, because believe it or not (I forgive you for not knowing this, after all you listen to rap and there's no talented instrumentals in there, so obviously you would make this misconception) the more important part of playing a guitar is selecting the notes.

E: Hit Enter too early.

I've played Guitar Hero, and it's much too fucking hard to play that shit because you're just pushing buttons, the frets are huge, too, and you've got to press the entire fret down, while the guitar you only have to press a small area. I'm a beginning guitar player, and playing the real guitar is more satisfying than playing a plastic guitar that makes absolutely no noise.

As far as I can tell, there isn't, just some songs are played differently (ie finger picking/other methods) that translate into much harder GH songs. Only times where it's squeedly-deedly-screech is where it might have more strumming than normal, but most people wouldn't notice.

I'm sorry for not considering someone from detroit, white or black, grunting and cussing over a drum beat, to be music. :raise:

On a plus side, the guitar hero developers seem to realize this, and thus have not put rap songs into their games, atleast that was the case with 3, idk about 4 :awesome:

Last I checked, Jordan has yet to be full comboed. Someone came close but missed ONE note somewhere in there.

Also, Slash has stated in an interview that Guitar Hero is an entirely different animal than a real guitar. The feeling's there, but it's not the same. The whole point of GH was to make air guitar into something more tangible. Don't need a lot of skill to enjoy it, but then again you could crank up the dfficulty, practice a lot, and get in on the faggot competitive crowd if that's your thing.


On a plus side, the guitar hero developers seem to realize this, and thus have not put rap songs into their gamesKing of Rock is in Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, but that's a more like a Hip-Hop/Rock hybrid song though.

And plus when was it released in america?
and the beat thing where you edit songs or whatever. can you put songs onto your xbox then upload them on guitar hero then edit them so you can play them, but like do all the chords yourself, or is that just a rumor?

I haven't played the game personally, but the whole aspect of being able to improvise, and create your own music...is more than enough reason to want it..
I've played previous titles, and sure they're fun for awhile, but I loose intrest, and would rather play guitar, and create my own music..
Hell, maybe being able to create, and structure your own music, could actually inspire, and help you expand your playing ability and musical knowledge?
Bottom line is, the creation side of things, is more than enough reason to spark my intrest..
Than again, I've never played it yet, and am only basing it off of what I've read in magazines..

If you want to make your own Guitar Hero tracks and want more/have the talent to do more than MIDI creation, I would recommend using Frets on Fire instead. At least there, you're supposed to record the guitar and band audio.
