Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero July DLC Brings Queen, Disturbed

replyJust give up already

I mean I am not saying give up already, because it would shaft a lot of people who only bought Guitar Hero or got it as a gift. It is nice for them to still get new music incoming. On the other hand, Rockband has a lot of this stuff already and is a much stronger platform by far.

Guitar Hero is clearly trying to establish that they are a different type of music game, one aimed at those less about the music experience and more for the game experience. (As a case in point, Warriors of Rock reads to be so full of gimmicks...)
That's actually ok with me. There is room in the market for an arcade-like music game, and for a music-experience music game. The former requires you to become intimately familiar with these songs to maximize scoring so it doesn't need as large a library - but one that is recognizable. So these packs are all in line with that approach.
-
That's absolutely what they're doing and I agree there's nothing wrong with that, it's the only direction they can really go. The problem is that they waited until this title to truly commit to that idea. They've flirted with it for several titles and only now that GH is all but irrelevant do they finally embrace what they should have done all along.
Oh well, it's too bad
