Forums - Gaming - Do you know what... I hate guitar hero

CAL4M1TY on 26 August 2008

I'm decent at Guitar Hero, but I don't get the appeal either, beating a song is satisfying, but 99% of games are satisfying when you beat something. I hate the uber competitiveness of it, because in reality, what you're really doing is just holding up and pushing buttons on a plastic guitar, I really want to be the best at that :D

i do enjoy it though, it's just the competitive stuff that puts me off.

no matter how many times people have made me play the game I just don't like it.

 

I think it is a sub-par rythym game that uses a cheap plastic guitar as a remote. I for one can't understand how it has become so popular. Given the choice, I would rather spend my hard earned £100 on a real guitar instead of the cheap plastic one it will take me a couople of weeks to master.

Also, why hasn't anyone made Gitaroo man for it yet, I'm surprised at that.

I agree as well.  Games like Guitar Hero, Rock Band are lame imitations in my opinion.  I'm sure they're fun, but I refuse to play them.  SImply because I'd accomplish more learning a REAL instrument then some half assed one. 

As I said though, it probably IS fun, but I don't like it, will never play it, and I think it's trash. :)  Opinions ftw.

these rhythm games are more fun when played with friends or an audience. which is why i prefer rock band at the moment. also, i have a real guitar that i don't know how to play and without wanting to spend a lot of time or money on lessons, i probably won't know how to play for a while longer.

i wonder if sony will be successful in getting konami, activision and mtv games to make all new peripherals cross compatible... otherwise i'll be sticking with rock band.
