Please convince MTV to purchase the Guitar Hero IP from RedOctane. I'm sure most of you have seen the abortion that is GH3 (http://www.youtube.com/user/pdtecrj). Neversoft has made a mockery of the Guitar Hero franchise in just one game (took them 4 with the Tony Hawk games).
Seriously. Everyone (other than reviewers :rolleyes: ) that has played the new "battle mode" think its utter crap and not fun at all. The character design is horrendous (the singer somehow looks WORSE live than in screenshots; and don't even get me started on Judy & Midori). And then of course there's the heart of the game, the notecharts.
Everyone over at Scorehero is basically saying, "if you can't handle it, go to hard". The point their missing is that Guitar Hero was never about difficulty. It was always about a fun game you could rock out to and with your friends. I distinctly remember Harmonix saying they didn't want GH to become a competitive game. At least not in the IIDX/DDR sense. Its very apparent Neversoft is catering to the very vocal top %1 of Scorehero and it crap.
I could point out so many flaws and ridiculous things in the notecharts of the videos the guy on Youtube posted, but I'm sure most people here are able to see them already. I will say this though: What the hell is up with the damn 3 note chord hell? It wasn't fun in What I Like About You in 80s, so it certainly isn't going to be fun IN EVERY SONG.
So Harmonix, I beg you. Get MTV to purchase the GH IP, have them give you a bigger budget to handle both game, hire the more people that it would take to be able to work on both (many development houses work on multiple games at once) and restore the Guitar Hero franchise to its former glory.
P.S. To those who would say the same as the people on Scorehero to bump it down to hard, I probably won't have to as I'm sure I can pass all the songs fine on expert. Doesn't mean it'll be any fun doing so.
