XD ROFL!!!

Epic Post dude.


Seriously though, IMO it's gonna destroy the genre if this keeps up...

Wouldn't have been too bad if it were different brands of music games... then it may work. Just look at shooters.

5 games in one year is Overkill.

Can't go 80 days without a new Guitar Hero lol

I am eagerly looking forward to Guitar Hero: Wing.

I stopped caring about Guitar Hero after the crappy GH3.


While Rock Band is being milked as well, it isn't certainly as bad.

Lego Rock Band ought to help with that.

I'm personally bored of both GH and RB now. I don't think I'm going to be purchasing any more entries of either franchise.

But Rock Band: Beatles makes up for it.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Check out MyAnimeList and my Game Collection. Owner of the 5 millionth post.

believe it or not, that's what they want in their franchises: be able to milk it as much as possible, and the reason they dumped Brutal Legend (IIRC, or another new IP)



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

Well yeah... haven't you been around all of Guitar Hero in 80 days? Of course you need a new one! :P

Seriously, though, my complaint has already been mentioned with the older ones- I don't know most of the songs!

Number of console Guitar Hero games per year:

2005 - 1 game

2006 - 1 game

2007 - 2 games

2008 - 2 games

2009 - 5 games

Why so many GH games in 2009? How long can they continue milking the franchise before people start getting desensitized to the Guitar Hero name?

I'm also wondering how many GH games we'll see next year...

 

I think your missing the point. There are people who don't buy Guitar Hero because of the lack of music selection of their taste. I don't like Beastie Boys and find those songs horrible. I would not buy Metelica, but I would by David Bowie. The mistake your making is that the varients off the main line is for GH players, but it's not. The other varients are for GH players than don't play because they don't like the song list.

Milking a franchise is under the idea that your intend to sell the new product to the same core base. Since this is not the case and it's meant to expand the player base by offering more appealing tracks to others. It's not milking, but haven't I replied to you on this before? Even if it wasn't you the fact that this subject comes up often enough shows more a self centered mentality. Since a non self centered mentality would appreciate that Activision is trying to bring the joy of there GH games to a bigger audience.



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.

Money will be made where there's money to be made. They want to make the cashola (damn Zeke) while GH is still hot...once it becomes "so 2006"....let's just say take it out the back with a shotgun.

You are right about one thing: I think the Beastie Boys are terrible. Absolutely terrible. I can't listen to a single song they have without getting angry. Angry at wasting my time on people who supposedly callthemselves artists.
