| ctk495 said: I hate the fact that Activision keeps on milking the franchise they don´t really care about the quality only the money.I mean was it really necessary to make this game I am sure that the potential buyers for this game already own the games containing the songs of this one.Seriously now I used to be a huge Guitar Hero fan back when Harmonix was working on the series once they left it was not the same.From now on I will support Rockband. |
Your missing the point of some of the newer products. Activion is re-releasing songs to sell to GH gamers who don't have them. There are new gamers to the series all the time. As some one like you who already have been gaming with GH since GH1 you have all the songs, but for someone like me I only got into the series since GH3 and I don't like most Mettalica songs. I do however like Songs from Rock the 80's.. So how am I as a Wii owner or 360(example not that I have one) suppose to play GH1 and 2? I can't. So why should I miss out on some of the better songs? should Activision exclude me because I don't want to have to buy a PS2 + 2 games and another new guitar controller that just works on PS2? that would be pretty crummy and short sighted.
As for DLC, I call on that BS again. As the comments form an upstream gamer most gamers do not connect their machines to the internet. Not even 360 can boast more than 50% of gamers connected. So how are these distant non internet gamers supposed to play? once again the comments of making them just DLC exclusive is shortsighted self oriented comments.
So remaking the good songs on disc is a good idea. Releasing band packs is a good idea, i'm never going to buy Metalic, nor does Activision expect me to. Metalic GH fans will buy Metalic much like Beatles RB player will buy the Beetles set.
Both companies are moving the series by branching out to expand the audience rather than just expecting to cater the same audience. It's smarter. You can be more mature than expecting them to focus all their resources just on a smaller audience. Let other people play to :)
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
