So is Guitar Hero uncool now?
« 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.
Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

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.

Playing a real guitar will still get more pussy.
I said its hot outside let me go swimming in your eyes;
We been running for awhile. Why don't you lay dow, I'll make you smile.
I could never ask for nothing better than this;
It's just tequila and the beach, it's quite salty when we kiss.

I like Rock Band better, but I'm waiting for Alpine Legend.  Yodeling & accordions are where it's at.
Tortures end me,
Death befriends me.
Of all the pains, the greatest pain
is to love, and love in vain.

He always struck me as more of a "spoony bard" myself.

I like how there's 20 definitions there. Which one's the right one?
I like to go down to the playground and watch the kids run and jump and scream, because they don't know I'm only using blanks.

Modern anime is a stagnant cesspool of regurgitated ideas.

Ah, man, I haven't played a Harvest Moon game in so long. Maybe its time.
Get a little closer let it fold
Cut open my sternum and pull

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

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.
