I was expecting a more tense response from a wired knight.

Free with pre-order: A wig, cheap perfume and two bags of silicone.

i think the cancer that is killing the gaming industry is the massive increase of fanboys on the internet who demand games to be a certain way

Well I'll go ahead and agree with ya there. Though I think the naked chicks and fat dude were a lot more... cancer-y. But this definitely doesn't entice me to purchase the game. Then again, neither did the Van Halen addition. Just be real w/ me Activision!

PS Did anyone else get a 10$ gift card for picking up Arkham Asylum at BB?

I agree with Longhorn. They've used the same ad campaign for the past three games, and since they haven't changed the past three games I guess that's understandable.

Smash hits didn't have the commercial, and Metallica and World Tour are actually quite different, Just ask your average vocalist. You can actually get 100%s in Metallica and Smash Hits.

I had completely forgotten about Smash Hits, but now that you mention it - isn't it just a collection of songs on an engine that ... had both been used before?

I hated the ads to begin with. The Metallica ads were all right, but you know, when they blew up the house, I thought they would do it FOR GOOD.

Then again, I guess this is at a playboy mansion, but still. Come up with something else already.

They are going to need all the help they can get to push out this next piece of shit. The just need to do what rock band is doing and release a bunch of songs for DLC. I don't care if I was promised a lap dance by a bunny, I wouldn't buy another guitar hero with some songs that are fun and most that blow. Ha ha, sorry but you have to admit Activision loves to kill every series they own. Give it more than a year between releases and do some DLC. Ok, I'm done.

From everyone who has played the game so far, all I have heard is that this is the best Neversoft Era GH game yet.

But you haven't even played the game, so why does your opinion matter?

That's still like saying it's the best punch in the face ever.

GH will never be as god as it was when Harmonix was part of the team.

I still don't get it. If you quit nitpicking the games and just play them, you'll actually have fun.

I don't got around screaming about every Rock Band post because the Laid To Rest drum chart doesn't have double bass.

Complaining about one song is nit-picking.

Complaining about GH's awful interface that hasn't been changed that much since GH2, "rock stars" who move like robots, an inferior selection of DLC, and the gimmicky touchpad that is impossible to use and has been shoehorned into songs where you wouldn't normally "need" it, is not.

You're right on the DLC, but....

GH3's interface was okay.
GHWT's was shit
GHM/SH's interface was okay
But GH5? Have you even fucking seen it? It's really good.

Same with the characters, the GH5's characters don't look like robots. You know why? Neversoft finally learned how to abuse the camera like Harmonix is doing. Rock Band's character's aren't perfectly fluid, but the camera work makes up for it. You can't notice because the camera hides imperfections.

Also, the touch pad parts are completely optional. You can strum them and play them like normal if you want. You don't need the touch pad.

Now if they could just learn to properly animate a group of people onstage, they'd be set.

Touchpad or not, I still hate playing some stupid made-up solo at the end of songs where they don't belong.
