Not me, and not a growing number of others. Give it another year or so and the answer will be "not anyone."

For people who don't own a PS3 or 360, then yes, GH is the best choice in the music genre.


Also, if GHIV has Create-A-Track, I'll buy it over RB in a heart beat.

If you think the create-a-track thing is going to be anywhere near as good as you're imagining in your head, then...well, you're Activision's ideal customer. Ignorant.

I understand what you mean, but if it lets me put notes where I want, hammer-on/pull-offs where I want, and has some way to play the music along with it, it's fine by me.

That way I don't have to pay $170 for 56 super easy tracks and then have to pay $2 each for more.


But, I don't beleive it will be all that cool, but all I want is the basics... and I'm sold.

Yes, I do. And no, I don't care about Rock Band. And if they make my Guitar Hero like Rock Band I'll be pissed and it will officially be the first (but probably not last) game in the series I don't buy.

wow, a rock band hater? i cant believe there are still idiots who think neversoft can actually make music games...

gh4 could be good, but all harmonix DOES is music games. there would be no guitar hero without them and rock band was the next logical step for the genre.

No, the second is obviously the tribute band which decided not to change their name.

It's Van Hagar

It's supposed to be Sublime.

Linking Park?

You're overusing spellcheck, mister.

"DAD! It's *LINKIN* park... Jeeeeez! STOP EMBARRASSING ME!"

it says linking park above in the story... if you only catch it when this guy says it dont blame this guy

Whoever they are, they're better than Linkin Park.

Linking Park...Its where computer geeks everywhere get together with their laptops and try to Rick Roll each other

Actually they don't plan on releasing a Rock Band 2 anytime soon b/c they can do so much through their download system. IIRC they said the next RB wouldn't come out most likely until the next console genereation. I could be wrong but this is what I remember.

Hardly, last I check GH3 was a major seller. They don't need to catch up.

"Catch-up" on innovation, doofus. There's a reason there are so many "GH3? LOL" posts on sites like this, people have realized Rock Band offers a much better experience. There is zero reason to believe that will change regardless of what the GH franchise does, because the soul of the game was Harmonix, and they ain't doing that anymore. GH is Activision riding a cash cow, and nothing more.

Christ, they almost ruined the game with boss battles and power-ups...I don't trust them to rip-off Rock Band properly.

Haha, as much as I love Linkin Park, that article is so true. Guess that's why I've grown out of it and they're no longer my favorite band. :)

Wow, I never knew that. Explains a lot really.

And now I have an excuse to link to this awesome LP parody.

That's true of every album before Minutes to Midnight. Even still, I love Linkin Park so it doesn't bother me much although I can see how one wouldn't like them because of that.

Dude I've been saying this forever to the few people I know that actually like that POS band and I was starting to think I was the only one who thought that. Thank you so much for finding that.

Create-a-Track is an excellent idea. Me being in a band, in theory, I could put my music in Guitar Hero.

(yay!)

Yeah, fucking with the consumer more for the sake of childish revenge!

now that Activision has caught up, i'm sure they'll supply (or more accurately, allow Harmonix to supply) the patch. it's in their best interest at this point.

oops i meant 100%

There are different reasons for the hate...

1: You hate Activision/Sticking with HMX... I'll give you this one.

2: You suck at GH/RB so you really don't want hard songs, thus you don't like GH... I'm a pretty decent player, so I like hard songs, RB is hardly a challenge except their guitar is so freaking horrible I can hardly pull of a chord without hitting 3/4 buttons.

3: Your a sheep and hate on everything that other people hate, PS3, Spiderman 3, Halo, etc.

Oh so agreed. GH3 isn't that bad at all.

The GH3 charts aren't just hard, they aren't well done. GH,GH2, and RB went to great lengths to make it both challenging and still seem as if you're playing the song. The GH3 notes don't always match up right, breaking the illusion.

The character models and animation were poorly done and the boss battles were a bad idea. Battles as multiplayer are ok, but it has no business in "campaign" mode.

I also take issue with Activision being Nazis about using the guitars.

GH3 is not a bad game, but its a shadow of the franchises former glory. You can tell who the real creative force behind GH was, and Activision didn't aquire them

Some note charts, like Cliffs of Dover were actually very well done, and I really enjoyed the good ones.

Granted there are alot of bad ones, but they aren't as bad as people make them out to be. Like 3's and 7's, for example. Has a few problems, but is still a good chart. They aren't all Number of the Beast bad.

Boss Battles. You are right. However, at the same time, if the Boss Battles mean fun original compositions, I am all for them. I just want them INCLUDED with the game at the beginning! The Slash battle is super fun!

Activision should be better with the Guitars, but I think it also falls on Harmonix as well, who isn't letting Wii owners use the Les Paul controllers for Rock Band. Both parties need to get their shit together.

Guitar Hero 3 is a shadow in the franchise's formor glory, but I am not going to say I didn't enjoy playing Guitar Hero 3. I may have more hours clocked in the original games, but I am willing to give Neversoft and Activision another chance. I hope all of the GH haters on here will atleast give the next one a chance with a rental.

*former

making the songs 4 times as hard as they are on regular guitar is why 99.9% of people hate guitar hero 3. It's stupid and completely unnecessary.

Because that is perfectly reasonable. An instrument that takes years to master is much easier than a game that takes weeks.

I agree with Raikage. People hate for no goddamn reason. RB is way too damn easy but also way too damn much fun! There doesn't only have to be one rythmn game, people. Also, I highly enjoyed Spidey 3. People let critics make up their minds for them. If there was no 'net, people would've loved that flick. Oh, and Cliffs of Dover FTW! Worth the price alone!

Thanks Cesaria. You can like 2 games in the same genre you know.

I also liked Spidy 3 but I'm not much of a movie critic...

My god this has been such an enlightenment-type-thing.... Hahaha! But yeah, I still wouldn't know squat, cuz I haven't play RB....

But yeah, I agree with Raikage and Cesaria, what the heck is wrong with liking 2 different games? Damn fanboyism i tell you... Damn IT.

As for spiderman, loveD it until i saw Iron Man. Iron Man kicks the shit out of every other super hero movie out there.
