Guitar Hero II - official.

[Dipstick]

Yeah, but to say the game sucks because of that?

If your primary concern is challenge, yes.

These people aren't playing games like In The Groove and Beatmania IIDX because the games have kickin' rad music (I like a lot of the music in IIDX, but that's another point). They're playing it because they offer more butans and arrows per minute to hit than the competition without delving into utter stupidity.

At that point shouldn't you just pick up a real instrument?

That could be answered in two ways:

1) Challenge is a major part of any game.

2) The same could be said about any game.



And, yes, I know I mentioned elitists before. I just don't understand how "sucks" = "not challenging"
I thought that meant, "Great game, but not for me."

2) The same could be said about any game.

I don't know about you but I've found becoming a flying ninja that kills hundreds of people in seconds with no law interference a difficult position to obtain.

You're just not trying hard enough.

[MechDeus]

I need to update my resume, really.

Bemani fans are a lot like shooter fans. The only way to appease them is to introduce a ton of extra instrumental-only songs that consist of only ridiculously over-complex leads.

[Razor Ramon]

Fuck the haters.

I got through 18 songs and Trogdor on hard and it feels like my left wrist is about to snap off. The last time I played the game was last week, so I'm not entirely out of it.

The hard songs do seem to be "harder" than the hard songs in the first game.

You're just not trying hard enough.

Perhaps the same could be said about all religions...
