i know.
the drums are cool, but since i actually play drums sometimes I have to close my eyes and just play instead of trying to read the scrolly thing.
and the guitar that came with rock band sucks fucking ass, I just used a GH controller.
but the songs and graphics in rock band are better than GH

as corny as all this is, those games are without a doubt, fun as hell... especially after a 6pack or two.
the drums are a nice way for me to be able to bang on shit since i can't have my drums in my apartment

OMFG that game is so fucking fun. I wasn't a fan of guitar hero at ALL but this game is sick. At one point we had 2 guitars, drums, and the singing going. That game is definitely worth the $170. I'll have to admit though, when I first walked into his living room and saw everyone setup hitting their instruments, going "click click click click" i started laughing my ass off.

i heard them talking about that rock band thing on the radio.
people can form bands online and have battle of the bands.
they started talking about LSD and lead singer disease making its way into the game and band fights. it was pretty funny.
personally, i don't have the money to buy fake instruments and video games. if i did, i'd probably still buy the guitar heros.

I think it is funny to watch very good muscians struggle with playing the game and very good game players struggling with real instruments. There is some correlation between the two, but the drums must be worth the investment methinks, due to a high aspect of parallels to the real drums.

the singing is basically judged by your pitch, and there are different difficulty levels of pitch sensitivity also.. when you're playing the game with the singer on your console, their voice will travel back out of the speakers but if you're playing online with someone you can only see the words that they complete or fail.. you can't actually hear their voice.. there is a "freestyle" mode that comes up where its basically your chance to spit some off the wall shit in front of friends for points. all in all, this game is pretty fun.. especially with some beer and a b0ng0r or two.
there is way too many songs to list, google the song list.. you will also be able to download A TON of songs in the future if you feel like paying for them.

Never. Another problem that I have with Guitar Hero is that you gain absolutely no skill whatsoever from it except becoming better at Guitar Hero, which will never, ever matter. At least games like RPGs (which are still embarrassing for adults to be playing) can encourage critical thinking.

Just a little heads up. Nobody gives a shit if you gain skill from it, or if you look retarded while playing it. At the end of the day, it's a fucking giggle, innit.

That's not too bad. Once every two months probably makes you one of the more sexually active males on the shroomery.

i don't play guitar hero a lot, becasue i don't own it or have anything but limited access to it.
but god damn its fun high. i do enjoy it on occassion.. but i would not go out and buy it and play it all the time.
i don't see how you guys can fight over whether or not a video game is fun.. its ridiculous.
some people enjoy things others don't.. i don't see how you can let that fact bother you..
as for not wasting time... i feel sorry for you.. i do a lot of things that can considered wasting my time but still manage to enjoy myself. having fun is usually wasting time and i, for one, do not enjoy being serious all the time.

Yeah, I gave up on Guitar Hero after about 2 songs. Pissed me off to no end every time I would try to hit an actual chord instead of the stupid colored button! I'll stick with the real thing when it comes to music and save the game consoles for killing aliens.

exactly... i just don't get it...
the entire game is you hit a button when it tells you to on the screen. wtf? thats a game?
perhaps i'm just not good at pretending i'm a rockstar...
btw, i have played the game several times, but i always opt to hand it over to someone else pretty quick, because i find it boring.
to restate my position, the "game" aspect of the game is retarded, and unfun. all thats left is the flash of pretending you're a rockstar. i can do that without hitting buttons. the game is boring.

I just read an article about how Activision totally screws the people who record the songs for Guitar Hero. Supposedly they get a mere $300 per song, done deal. No residual income for games sold or anything like that.
For this reason, and for the fact that this game may dissuade a million or more potential creative class individuals from ever picking up a real guitar and actually giving this world something of value, I will not support Guitar Hero, and neither should you.

if passing on some insightful information and stating an opinion about it sounds like nothing more than whining to you, well then I guess there is no point in arguing

Probably the guy who needlessly comes into a thread who knowingly comes into a thread discussing something he doesn't like and bitches rather than just ignoring the thread.

Let's be perfectly clear here: I've played the game. It's fun. I never said it wasn't. Where did you get that impression?
This thread is about another game trumping guitar hero. If anything, I was right in line with that topic. I wasn't dissing Rock Band. I was saying Activision (makers of Guitar Hero) are scumbags.
You, my friend, are retarded.

i just returned GH3, it was fun but not worth 110 dollars
i went and picked up Oblivion and Prey for 360 instead (and had 60 bucks left)
they are fun, but in the end a waste of time and money IMO (this thread turned into a whole bitchfest too)

god you guys are a bunch of fags.
I took rock band to my cousin's house... we had a ton of people over cuz holidays are when everyone comes back to our hometown so all our friends come out too. trust me after a couple 30 packs get passed around, this game is fuckin fun. we had all four things going... guitar, bass, drums, singer. it's a pretty rad
does it compare to real instruments? no. MAYBE, possibly, the drums would somewhat teach someone how to play the real thing.
Do i care? No. Because I've played drums since 6th grade and the guitar for 10 years. at the end of the day I can still pick up an axe or a pair of sticks and do the real thing...
how many of you here play those fucking retarded RPGs? That's fucking gayer than elton john in a sausage factory.
It's a matter of opinion. even in the game itself in the little message between songs it encourages you to pick up real instruments.
The element of the game is ANYone can be a rockstar. Which means at a party even the people with no real world skills can play on "easy" and have fun.
I've also found playing guitar hero is a great warm up to playing the real guitar.
in other news the guitar that comes with the 360 version sucks fucking ass and apparently a lot of people are having this problem. oh well, at least the GH guitars are compatible.

I don't think it is a big word, just too big for you.
Maybe you should check the examples:
<pretentious language> <pretentious houses>
See, you using the word 'pretentious' is pretentious in itself.
Someone mocking your hobby is not pretentious.

No, but acting like you are too good or above playing a game is pretentious.
Reading comprehension is key, young grasshopper.
