So yeah, Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock comes out today. Hopefully I'll be going to the mall later today, and I'll get a chance to pick it up. Looks pretty promising, wireless controllers, boss battles and face offs now.... Anyone else planning on picking this up?
...I don't get these guitar Hero games? The money will get you your own REAL electric and amp pack...a more fun/practical skill than pressing buttons IMO Playing along to CDs is awesome fun! atleast in my opinion
edit: this wasn't meant to sound rude...it was more a question "why is Guitar Hero so popular?"
Because it's face meltingly awesome.Quote:

interesting....but what is this AWESOMENESS you speak of? Why would you not PLAY IRL GUITAR LOL, as you put it?
HEY, good idea. Why didn't I think of that?
it was a serious question... :S i wasn't trying to be hostile or anything
Except the problem was that your question was phrased with the assumption that I did not play guitar.
oh, well my bad, you were right. I presumed you didnt play guitar. But now, as a real guitarist, you are in an even better position to answer my question. "why is Guitar Hero so popular?"
Like I said.
It's because it's face meltingly awesome.
guitar hero?

Actually, I do play guitar in real life. It's just sometimes, guitar gets really frustrating, and you just want to rock out, so it's more fun to take a break and jam out on Guitar Hero. Also, it makes a great party game, when you get some people together who actually aren't half bad at it.
Everyone says "Why not play real guitar?" when they wouldn't have any objection to someone playing halo or any other video game instead of guitar. It's just a fun game. Thats why it's popular
Hell yeah, after a few beers and funnels, whack on Guitar Hero, so much fun to be had. This nightclub I go to which just opened has a game night in one of the bars. Last week they had tennis on the Wii and they were giving away the Wii's I think they had 5 - This week its Guitar Hero :D
Next week PES :D
the difference is video games are usually escapism you know...to things you couldnt really do...
racing ferraris around italy
saving the universe from complete destruction in the case of Halo....
using skill to command armies or infiltrate terrorist bases...etc...all that stuff.
whereas; a guitar is not so hard to access.
although...I understand the party game aspect; thanks for filling me in everyone!
happy guitar hero-ing
