Confused...

[axe990]

Ok, so tons of people are coming back from the demos say the guitar felt flimsy. I cant really remember anyone say thing this when they had played on the tour. Is it possible its a crappier demo guitar or something. Or am i just wishing that these people are wrong too hard.

well, it is really weird that 90% of the demo reviews I've seen do have a piece of about a flimsy guitar...Either it really is a POS, its been abused, or it's just a demo guitar.

Well, when I went to try it tonight, I torqued the neck just a little, but this was only because the people here were complaining about it. Sure, it twisted, but I never noticed anything when I was actually playing the game. The GH3 controller does the same thing if you actually try and twist it. I don't know what the problem is. I think the anonymity of the internet just allows people to be douchebags for no good reason. My only issue with the Strat was that it seemed like the fret buttons were a little closer together than the GH controllers. This isn't a bad thing, it's just that being used to the GH spacing, I missed the orange notes a lot more than I would have liked because I moved my fingers too much. It will just take some getting used to. But yeah, like I said, once I was playing the game, I didn't notice the guitar feeling cheap at all.

From what I saw of the tour (video) every one thought it was awsome!!I have a hard time seeing HMX coming out with crap.Maybe it's a different feel that you got to get used to,who knows untill we get it. I'm getting this game no matter what people say,becuase I know what HMX can do with a game.Mind you I haven't played the RB guitar yet,but I still exspect good things from it.

First off don't call people "douchebags" based on honest opinions. Don't join a forum and be a dick. We have a good reason to discuss this sort of thing after we've been waiting for months to play it. Theres something to be said if most of the demo reviews have something about a cheap guitar. I felt the thing. Its not dirt cheap but it could be sturdier. I played it twice so far. The second time it did feel a lot better. I love the thing, but I know where everyone is coming from. No hard feelings man, just chill :)

Ok, I didn't mean to push any buttons by calling anyone a douchebag. I only meant that in my experience, the majority of people on forums ***** just to *****. As for this current situation, you are getting a bigger guitar controller than the GH ones (which has an effects feature), a drum set, a microphone, and the game for $170. That and the fact that a longer neck composed of the same material is going to be more susceptible to twisting when you apply force to it.

I understand what you mean. Alot of people do get on forums to bash things whether it is to make themselves feel better of not being about to get the game etc.. But these forums are different. Most of us are in the same boat and love this game to no end. We would never just ***** about the game just to *****.
