replyA whine this is not, people can play whatever they please and if the games keep on selling, good for the industry and good for the people who still enjoy them.
But I have these games coming out of my ears and nose. I loved GH1 & 2, especially the latter, but after playing through all those songs a million times I simply don't find new songs a motivation big enough to return to these games.
Think of a new genre already! :P-
I have over 230 songs in my Rock Band set, and I like most of them. (Not trying to brag, cause it's kinda sad how much money I've dropped on this). It keeps things fresh.
