German ratings board rates Guitar Hero: Van Halen

Agreed.

*The Barron....sorry lol

"No, you can't call him Marky Mark anymore!"

can we still call you haggard?

Honestly I don't mind. Think of it as a question of personal preference.

Why do you care? More importantly, why can't you just ignore it?

And they're all going to sell well. So why should they stop making GH games again?

Because I'd rather have a friend playing Rock Band with me online than a friend playing a Guitar Hero: Muppets edition that I don't probably own. That's only an example of "Why".

Because snuff films are for personal enjoyment.

Duh. Who wants to see someone beat a dead horse? Not I.

Guitar Hero: Muppets would be freaking amazing. I'd be up for some Rainbow Connection, power balledified.

They should have something like Rock Band Store, which enables you to choose the songs that you like and want, instead of spewing out $60 with only a hand full of songs that are fun to play. Plus there's no variety on exclusive artist GH versions. Then theres the issue Archon addressed, there are so many different versions its not very likely many of your friends will all buy the same one.

ding ding ding!!! right answer!!!

What about buying just the songs that they want to play? That's the right answer.

@aristokrat

the problem ive found with the DLC, is that there are only a very limited amount of tracks. for example, on GHIII there was a Virtuoso pack, which had a Steve Vai track, a Joe satriani track and a bucket head track. While this was right up my alley, it was only 3 tracks... and it didnt take long at all to get through that content... its almost not worth the money. These specialised band releases are good as u get a good decent amount of content and as such feels worth my time and money. If you like a band, u dont just want 3 tracks, and a release with 30 odd of their tracks is just amazing.

If Van Halen isnt your thing, thats fair enough, nothing wrong with that, just dont buy it. In pretty much the same way i didnt buy the aerosmith and metallica disks.

If it was all specialized band releases, you never would have seen any of those songs, because there's not a big enough market. Yet with DLC, Rock Band has released stuff like the Pixies album, not completely mainstream, and there is a good amount of content from one band. The only good reason I can think of for disc-based release is when the artist refuses to be just lumped in with the rest of the bands for some reason (see: the Beatles), and they're are a good enough artist to merit such demands (and even then, I think it's lame, but I'd rather have the Beatles than not).

firstly, i NEVER said that there should ONLY be specialised band releases, that would be bad, and most deffinately isnt the case. I was merely stating that their existance was infact a good thing, as there are alot of ppl, like myself, that would much rather have the focussed experienced rather than have a game full of 'skip tracks'. And ill state again, if you dont want it, dont buy it, theyre not forcing you to.

secondly,

Personally id rather have Van Halen than not. But is this not ok? is it because its not the beatles, because its GH and not RB? or because Van Halen arnt good enough to warrant a release? because imo, Van Halen are better than the beatles. Sure their not as mainstream, but do not forget, when it comes to GUITAR HEROES, there are none greater and more influential than Edward Van Halen short of Jimi Hendrix himself, and even thats debatable. This alone is reason enough to warrant a release on a game called GUITAR HERO.

I have a hunch, that if this was Rock Band: Van Halen, there wouldnt be nearly the hostility towards it.

There's a perfectly good version of Guitar Hero 3 on PC where you can load up any custom song you want, even rips from the older guitar heros

agreed. no hagar.

Don't worry, they're going to have Cherone instead of either Roth or Haggar.

You know what sucks? At the end of it all, Hagar was actually in Van Halen slightly longer than David Lee Roth! Disgusting! Who knows what the score is now with all of the reunions, but it still bothers me.

It's also less profitable.

But the thing that makes the AC/DC disc ok is that all of the songs can be added to your track library...GH is missing out on sales by not allowing this.

AC/DC wasn't technically a standalone game. Harmonix didn't want to do it. They wanted to make it just a track pack but MS forced them to make it a full game, but it didn't have all the RB2 features. + it was only $30 and you can put them onto your RB2....
