Title: So is Guitar Hero uncool now?
Post by: Rama on Aug 11, 2009, 05:37:19 PM
I just saw a Wal-Mart commercial for Guitar Hero: World Tour that had a white blonde Soccer mom playing this game with her two small children in a nice suburban home with implications of them "Rocking". Now I'm not a angst filled teenager anymore, but that sounds about 180 degrees from cool and that's who they are trying to sell the game too now, you think that'll kill the cool of it.


Course I wouldn't know anything about it as I have never played it...played real guitar for awhile, but never the game.

Beatles Hero comes out later this year.  And Guitar Hero 5 has Johnny Cash as a playable character. 

So, no.

Was it ever cool?

It's fun. I think that was always the point.

EA and Activision already have everyone else in their pockets. Soccer moms are the final frontier.

I like Rock Band better, but I'm waiting for Alpine Legend.  Yodeling & accordions are where it's at.

Does it have multiplayer trophies?
Title: Re: So is Guitar Hero uncool now?

Doesn't every big PS3 game?

I collected all of RE5's trophies months ago. I think they've added more since.

Uncharted 2 Trophies (http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps3/code/955125.html)

Awesome! There are only 2 multiplayer trophies, and they're both giveaways:

Buddy System (Bronze) - Complete one Cooperative Multiplayer game
Thrillseeker (Bronze) - Complete one Competitive Multiplayer game

I knew Naughty Dog had their shit together.

Fucking hate multiplayer trophies.

Why? You don't like multiplayer?

Oh wait, I just remember this chart I saw once:

Real life friends: Wii
Online friends: 360
No friends: PS3

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Multiplayer is fine and dandy.

Multiplayer trophies are a pain in the ass.

Infinity Ward is also aware of this fact.

That shit is heavy:

Quote from: Wikicrapia
Though popular with the public, Villechaize proved a difficult actor on Fantasy Island where he continually propositioned women and quarreled with the producers. He was eventually fired after demanding that his pay be on par with that of co-star Ricardo Montalbán. The show's popularity waned after this move, and it was soon canceled. According to his former butler in an episode of E! True Hollywood Story[2], Villechaize never got over losing his job, and for the remainder of his life practiced an often nightly ritual of drinking in a darkened room while screaming obscenities at an episode of Fantasy Island playing on his television.

I do the same thing with Flipping Out. Just, I do it for different reasons.
