Basically, discuss the Guitar Hero and Rock Band franchises.

 

Imo, Guitar Hero has better gameplay and "extra" stuff, while Rock Band has a better setlist. But that is just me, and my taste in music.

 

I only own two of these games (GH: WT and Band Hero), and I don't own any Rock Band games, but it's fun to pretend like you are playing a guitar or drummin'.

 

Well, in terms of difficulties (I use the Beginner-Easy-Medium-Hard-Expert scale on Guitar Hero: World Tour), this is what I can do. Rock Band has a four-tiered difficulty, so I don't really know much about what I can do on that.

 

Guitar: Hard on most, expert on some. I am not the best at alt strumming, but I can still consistently get 90%+.

Bass: Medium on some, hard on most, expert on a select few. I have more experience with guitar, and stuff.

Drums: ...no. Easy, and even then I fail shit too often.

Vocals: Hard on most, and maybe expert if I really do amazing with the vocals. But I can get 95%+ on every song with hard.

 

All I know is that Rock Band has an easier vocals system (or at least that's what I think), so I can do a lot more songs on expert.

 

so liek discuz

These games are cool, although I am a little skeptical to the new Green Day Rock Band.

Inorite, it'll be the same song over and over again. ;D

I'm good at both, I still think that RB is slightly harder because the neck buttons are kinda stiff and I'm used to GH's pop out buttons. When I think I'm pressing down on the RB guitar, I'm not.

Can't you use GH for RB. Or is it the other way around.

 

I only ever owned GH3 and I only got to play Medium. Even when I played other GH games or RB I never went to hard.

 

IMO RB is easier.

You can, I don't like it though because it wasn't made for RB so it comes out slightly late.

The transition from Medium to Hard is a dick because you either have to grow an abnormally large thumb or flip between 1-4 and 2-5 format.

We had the first three Guitar Hero games for PS2, and had them for a year or two. But then we got rid of them and got Rock Band for the Wii. We love RB so much better than GH. There's a lot of songs already on the setlist, and we also download songs as well. I bet we have almost 200 songs on Rock Band right now.

 

I only play Guitar, but I can play Drums on easy.

[Lazer Yoshi]

I like to play Guitar Hero. I just hate how everyone's all like "YOU SUCK GET A REEL GUITAR LOLZ".

[Night]

At first guitar hero was like so awshum-like. But then you get rock band, and use the drums and then there's like no turning back.

[Dark]

I actually like Guitar Hero's gameplay over Rock Band's. But, that's just me. But as I said in the OP, Rock Band has such a better setlist. It makes me sadfaec.

 

I just hate how everyone's all like "YOU SUCK GET A REEL GUITAR LOLZ".

 

Only trolls on YouTube say that. D:<

I hate how the company that produces "Guitar Hero" (Activision?) is pumping out a new game every month now, it seems. But that's just me.

 

As for playing, I suck at everything except Bass. *shot*

They are trying to get more people into it, I guess. They made like an ACDC Guitar Hero and a Metallica one... so they are attempting to attract more people.

 

And I don't really care, I just buy the mainstream games. :D

 

Bass is harder than Guitar. Well, for most songs Guitar is "harder". But you don't have to no-note strum in Guitar (forgot what it is called).

Its called a open note.

OT: Rock Band 3 with pro mode looks incredibly fun and i cant wait to play it.
