Like, the two guys weren't even looking at the screen and they were just waggling like crazy, yet somehow they were still "playing" the game with no negative consequences (no losses, point deduction, etc). And then they ended with "Wii Music is crap" or something like that. Edit: Found it |
The most puzzling aspect of Wii Music's reception is how angry and confused people get when the computer stops judging them and asks them to judge themselves. I'd even say it's a little disturbing how eager some people are to surrender any kind of self-awareness to the machine gods.
Do you really need a computer to tell you how well you did? A computer isn't even capable of judging how good a musical performance is! All it can do is judge how much you deviated from a single, narrow definition of what a "proper performance" is. A computer would give the best grades to concerts which sounded exactly like the album, and nevermind the energy, enthusiasm, showmanship, or spontaneous freestyling. That's all just worthless deviation.
Now I think I understand why so many musicians hate Guitar Hero.
