Guitar Hero III will certainly sell more, on price point and platform availability alone, but which one will be better?

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #1 on:** October 24, 2007, 02:39:24 AM »

Per dollar or overall?

Again, I don't care about sales - sales debates with videogames are lame and there's really no contest. Guitar Hero has the brand, the price advantage and is available to more people. I'm talking about the GAME.

Well, Rock Band has to be at least 3 times better than Guitar Hero to keep up the entertainment to dollar ratio.

Hey, im just sparing myself the harsh reality of sitting in my living room surrounded by plastic toys slumped over a toy guitar wishing I had friends that owned Nintendo Wiis that could relate to this shit.

Least with Guitar Hero I AM AN ARMY OF ONE.

bobobobo it's online, maf

If the drums are as awesome as they appear to be, Rock Band wins; case closed. And the promised DLC! Drumming through Keith Moon's parts in Who's Next is going to be nothing short of fuck awesome.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #8 on:** October 24, 2007, 11:50:19 AM »

Fuck Rock Band, just make a drum game.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #9 on:** October 24, 2007, 11:52:15 AM »

Yea, I might actually wait until the drums are sold separately.

I won't be able to hold out. WHO'S NEXT FUCK YES OMG

Guitar Hero III in sales.
Guitar Hero III in quality.

I'm buying it. I think it''s pretty cool that you can play through the game four different times with the various instruments, so replay value's pretty high. My friends and I are all in our mid-30s, so we don't go out much, and this is a good Friday night get-together-drink-and-goof-off type of game. Hopefully you don't have to unlock a bunch of shit just to play all the songs like GHII. I still haven't unlocked anything in that game because I don't give a fuck about unlocking stuff or "mastering" it, I just want to bullshit around on it with my friends.

Pretty much

You will play this maybe three times before it's not worth the hassle of packing and unpacking, and you are the proud owner of yet another peripheral that sits collecting dust

Speak for yourself, demi. Just because you don't have any real life friends to play with doesn't mean the rest of us don't.

I look forward to geeking out with my friends with Rock Band. Guitar Hero III sounds like more of the same.

Well, I am still all aout GHIII, even after Patel's kinda disappointing impressions. I'll get more play out of it than Rock Band, and it at least appears to have a better out of the box track list.

I will probably eventually end up with both, but right now GH3 is m only day 1 purchase.

You should be more concerned with fighting fires than playing air guitar

I'll update later tonight after a few more tiers.

Any more impressions? The GAF thread is making me

I played it today (with a strap-less guitar) and it just felt...off, but that might have been due to having to hold the guitar up as I played.

I mean I kinda hoped the formula was so simple that not even Neversoft could fuck it up. It looks like I was wrong.

Rock Band.

That's the one Harmonix is working on, so that's the one I will give the nod to, without playing both of them.

GilloD · « **Reply #19 on:** October 25, 2007, 01:11:27 AM »

I don't doubt that Rock Band will be the better game, but I'm having flashbacks to Crystal Chronicles. I can't imagine trying to schedule a fake band practice. Not to mention price of entry is steep. I'd love to strum along with Wave of Mutilation, but maybe I'll just learn it on real guitar.
