My Guitar Hero rant

[KidKatana]

I feel the need to raise my voice.

I resisted playing this turd for months.

Today, i played it for 5 minutes.
I instantly felt like destoying the stupid freakin controller. People say you can play the game without knowing how to play guitar... Yeah freakin right. I couldnt even hold the damned controller well enough to play the damn game, much less well. The 3 guys i was playing it with are in a band, so of course they could play it. I also noted the following while watching the game

The control is impossible to use
The graphics BEYOND suck (are we still living in the 1990s? Is this lawnmower man?)
Also, if you spend all that time playing this retard of a game, and getting good at it, what the hell is wrong with you? Why wouldnt you just learn how to play the real bloody instrument?

I would like to take the staff of Activision, and chemically castrate every one of them so they couldnt even reproduce by accident.

oh, and ive never played rock band, but after this horrid experience, im hoping im never drurk, or stupid enough to play that either.

Thank you

Well, I can't play guitar, and I managed OK with guitar hero. I sucked royally for quite a while, but with a bit of practise you get the hang of it. 5 minutes is hardly enough time to familiarise yourself with a completely new control method. It seems like you're just frustrated that you can't play the game. Have patience and get used to it.

I'm still not that great. I can hold my own on medium, but that's about it. But it's a fun game, which is all it's really meant to be.

What are you talking about Willis. This game is so much fun. Like any thing else in life, it take practice. You can't play for 5 min. and expect to play like Guitar Hero's Eddie van Halen. I play guitar in real life and find guitar hero much harder then a real guitar but it didn't stop me from trying this game and loving it.

I was horrible with the guitar at first. Played with the controller.
Now on the second and first GH i have managed to work my way up to being able to easily beat the hard songs. and only like 2 experts .
and I can only play like one little part of an easy song on a real guitar.

I am horrible at the third one for some reason though.

Don't worry. GH3 is ridiculously hard compared to GH2, which is OK because I've improved through playing it. But I suck at hard songs on GH3... I should go and play GH2 and see what I've learned.

+1 FTW!

Agreed 100%... all it takes is some practice... only played it for five minutes and you're ready to break something? Ouch. Sounds like someone needs some anger management lessons...

You're ranting about a game because you dont' know how to hold a guitar? Please. You don't need to know how to play guitar to play this game. Infact, I know many people who play guitar and SUCK at guitar hero when they play it. HOLY ****, SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO PUT TIME INTO TO GET GOOD AT? NO WAY. Why do stupid people feel the need to raise their voice?
