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. |
Thank god, someone seems to get it. I don't mind the BB (not a big fan or anything), but I think the Beatles are extremely overrated. Beatles:RB (lol, backwards) is not for me. Same with Lego Rock Band and its poppy songs. However, I love Metallica, so I bought that. I don't like Van Halen in particular, so I will either skip that or buy it for $15 used. The only person that I can think of right now who could be the "same core base" is my Spanish teacher, who has every GH game after 2 (and both Rock Bands) on his PS2, and does not use his system for anything but GH and RB.

And they're never Half-assed late-as-shit ports.
| Lafiel said: @ .jayderyu ) exactly and I'd like to add, that GH has to broaden it's audience way faster than before, because now there is direct competion, which could (and does) serve specific interests before they have the chance to (and that's what they have to prevent) |
Yes, it's like Sonic and Mario. Who won that again? Ah yes, Mario... The mario that played tennis, golf, drove Go Karts threw parties, and now swims, runs track, plays soccer and basketball... (Keep in mind I'm a sonic fan)

Hm... These are probably the best replies I've read in this thread. Maybe there should be a Guitar Hero Defense Squad (like the sonic one) to keep the HMX trolls at bay... So far I've been trying to do that on my own, but it would be better as a group effort...
| Onyxmeth said: Why is DJ Hero getting lumped into this? If any rhythm game from either publisher is showing any originality, it's DJ Hero. It appeals to a different musical fanbase. It uses a brand new peripheral. I just don't see how that is milking. |
Because HMX fanboys like to lump everything together so they can complain more.
