...Does anyone else here besides me not like Guitar Hero?

i dont like guitar hero! lets start a cult!

anyways, this is one of the 1st music games i didnt really like much at all when it boils down to gameplay. The reason why isnt because of the game itself, but the controller. This is a terrible piece of gaming equipment. The thing KILLS my hands. The strummer is too tight. And when i really think about it, im not a big fan of much of the music(besides stuff like higher ground). But look at my user name. Thats music i like.

the first time i played it i was like "whoa this is almost as good as DDR!" then 2 weeks later i found myself to realize that the controller is uncomfortable and the song list has no variety. This was worse of a waste of money than beatmania USA!

I like Guitar Hero infinitely better because I can't stand Japanese music at all. And I like five buttons better, even if it is easier.

Can't wait for GH2... Hell yes on Rush and Rev. Horton Heat.

It is really easy, that's probably because they figure games like that aren't HUGE in the US so people aren't practiced enough or something. But something about it is super fun. I like having 5 button compared to only 3 on guitar freaks.

since i'm bored, heres a list of totally awesome(licenced) japanese songs that would totally rock(no pun intended) in a guitar game.

LACK-Porno Graffiti
READY STEADY GO-L'arc~en~ciel
Glamorous Sky(nana)-mika nakashima(which is going to be in the upcoming GF game btw)
VIVA ROCK-Orange Range
HUMMING 7-4-ayumi hamasaki
PRIDE-HIGH and MIGHTY Color

keep in mind i dont have my ipod with me, and i only did 1 song per artist.

also, actually im pretty sure you have to be percise when you strum a guitar, and usually when you hit the wrong notes while you play the guitar it still plays the note.

Sorry about the bump, I recently played Guitar Hero for the first time and wanted to post what I thought.

For one, I felt silly wearing that guitar controller in Game Stop. People are afraid of embarrassing themselves playing DDR, but I was afraid of putting on the controller and looking stupid.

Next, I couldn't find any songs I wanted to do. None of them seemed like something I'd want to play a music game to.

Alright, that's it. I had to take a moment to decide if I really wanted to try it in front of people. I felt stupid.

if you think thats embarassing, i remember when i first got the game and thought it was cool i brought it to my local LAN gaming center with the guitar on the back of my back johnny cash style.

Wow i feel really stupid now....expecially since now i look at it and think that GH is the halo of music games.

For all you stupid people, halo is to the FPS as GH is to the music game.

I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't put on the guitar controller at all if there were enough people around.

I like GH okay. I'd MUCH rather give IIDX or Pop'n a spin (can't give GF/DM any love as I don't have controllers for either) in the good ole PS2, but it's good for messing around with the friends. I don't care for the interface, the guitar is indeed uncomfortable, IMHO the buttons aren't sensitive enough (I could probably 4 or 5 star Bark At The Moon Expert if I didn't have to mash the buttons so far in and I could just tap and glide like how I play IIDX when I one hand), some of the covers are VERY bad (Take Me Out, I Love Rock And Roll (which is a sucky song anyway IMHO), Cochise, anyone?) and I wish they'd stuck with one person singing to keep the feeling of being in a decent cover band alive. How can that one dude make so many voice changes?

And wtf at the girl, dunno about you guys, and call me stereotypical, but I've NEVER seen a not-white girl singing in a rock band. I'm not being racist, this is merely an observation, I thought it was kind of cool in the game.

i think it's silly i play real guitar but then again ppl might ask me why don't u do real dancing? all i can say about this thread is HEY! WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET UP AND DANCE MAN?

jpoppyz · Posted: Sun Jul 30, 2006 8:40 pm Post subject:

haha, you have to "insert silly korean mans voice" in that too.

yeah, i always hate it when people think i'm good at dancing because i'm good at DDR. Sure, i'm always up for a good rave but i can't dance for my life. I have TERRIBLE balance, but DDR definitely has helpe dit.

man, if i was rich i would make a video of me furociousely destroying the guitar hero controller then dropping a cobalt flux on it and on screen have it say "PWNED!!"

or perhaps smashing it against a beatmania machine and say "nothing ain't stoppin' the beatmania!"

wow those are some truly good ideas....anyone wanna give me $40 so i can get a GH guitar and do it?

My point is don't act like an elitist dickhead because you play one game and not another

I dislike it simply because some ignorant fools (read: ADAM SESSLER AND MOOOOOOOORGAN WEBB!) thought that BM was a ripoff of it.
