I dont mind either, but quality is so subjective, one can argue that GH and RB games were still quality and looked were that turned out. IMHO i just have a fear that even though those games remain "good" in the real world people will get bored and then we have a TH or GH situation where they just flat out stop making those games. BUT this is few and far inbetween as the ones who maintained quality stick around. Hell we're getting a TH HD collection this year. So even some old timers could rise from the grave


The whole rhythm gaming market got killed in general though.  I know this because I am a part of a rhtyhm gaming community, and around the same time GH (I'm guessing is Guitar Hero?) died, the community started to wither away as well.

and why do you think that is?? Probably too much releases, which is my point. It could kill of a series or even a whole genre. there is a thing as oversaturation. BUt Acti did go over board with the Van Halens, Metallicas, Band, DJ you get the point


I think rhythm gaming is an exception, though.  Music isn't something everyone has a talent for.  Not everyone is as passionate about music, and a lot of these milked titles don't involve one thing so specifically.  Such as Mario titles don't focus so much on one aspect of gaming as it does on multiple aspects and a character that some people can never see enough of.  Call of Duty wont kill FPS gaming either, as the FPS gaming model tends to allow multiplayer gaming.  There's much more freedom here.  I'm not sure how well I'm explaining myself, but killing a genre from milking seems to be something that could only be done with something like this.  People still like rhythm games, but it's no longer mainstream.  The dancing thing took its place now (it is a form of rhythm gaming, but it tends to focus much more on dancing than music, which is a form that can die out too if it is used too much).  

not really buying it, Im asking if you really dont believe that the numerous releases of GH and RB games killed those franchises. Maybe genre was the wrong word to use, as the genre existed before(Parappa) and still exists now(Just Dance, Theatryhtm FF). People didnt get tired of music, thats damn near impossible. THey got tired of having to buy multiple instruments and several different games a year.
