| JaggedSac said: It appears that most of your ire seems directed towards their dealings with M$ and their treatment of the Wii version. Both of those factors mean jack shit to me. And why are you saying that Harmonix doesn't know where to go with the rythm game genre when GHWT is the one playing catch-up(of course they are going to change their engine, althought I doubt it was a complete rewrite, and in fact copy they have the exact same UI as RB). Lets see how many offshoots from GHWT are released within a year...Metallica, another Aerosmith, etc. Harmonix treats their customers(at least 360 customers, and those are the only ones I care about) very well with new DLC available every week. I will have around 200 songs on Sunday to play on RB2. I am going to get GHWT, but GH3 left a bad taste in my mouth. The music generator is a great idea but not sure how good of an interface you can have when doing that sort of stuff on a console, and the lack of vocals is a sore spot as well.

The lack of vocals is definitely a point we can argue about here. It is obvious that if Harmonix comes out with a song creator, both developers will definitely be fighting to find a way to make it possible in their future games. When you think about it though, you wouldn't want to listen to a 10 years old girl singing in a mic with breath sounds all the time, would you? ;)
What I meant with Harmonix doesn't know where to go with the rythm game genre is that they needed a serious threat to move their act together, especially with the Wii DLC (yes, again, because there are Wii-only owners on the planet). I wonder what Rock Band 2 would have been if RedOctane/Neversoft would have just shut up the whole time until a month before the release. I'm sure it would have been quite a show...!
Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
