So I’m Buying Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock…
For a late birthday gift anyway. I doubt if I’ll even play it much since I have class and all. I just figured since I didn’t get around to buying Guitar Hero 5, I’ll give Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock a try. I saw through a few videos and the set-list‘s for the game that one of my utmost favorite songs is going to be on there; Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody.
What frustrates me about this franchise is that they watered the game down. I miss the challenge in the game like Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock gave me. Anything close to that after that was Guitar Hero: Metallica. People cried, bitched and moaned that the game was too hard and I guess Activision listened because Guitar Hero: Aerosmith was an insult on the franchise. It felt as if they had nothing else better to do at the time so they threw that monstrosity together and stuck Aerosmith in it.
People are saying that Rock Band 1 and 2 was better than Guitar Hero: World Tour through Guitar Hero 5 simply because 
they picked the right songs. I have to agree to some extent. I really loved Rock Band 2 but I really hated their highways and notes. I’m planning on buying that game back some time this month because although their highway and notes are sub-par, their choice of songs were great and that outweighs anything else.
There’s really no point in fan-boys crying or better yet ranting about how one game is better than the other. They’re two different games for a reason. If they were the same in every little detail, you wouldn’t want to play it. I assume most who play these games play them to play their favorite songs. I must say though, Guitar Hero have been lacking in that area. I’m pretty much dumbfounded as to why they pick every other song by the Foo Fighters besides My Hero. It’s fitting isn’t? I guess it has something to do with legal use issues but don’t Activision at least listen to their consumers?
Let’s get on the guitar. Yes, being who I am I bought the bundle pack because it’ll be pretty messed up if my Gibson guitar finally give way when this game comes out. I doubt that’ll happen though. I’ve had it, strummed the hell out of it, stressed it, dropped it, accidentally wet it and it’s still kicking to this day. It plays as if it just came fresh out the wrapping.
My main concern is this; will the guitar – called Battle Axe hold a candle to my Gibson? Can I strum the living shit out of it without worrying about the strum bar snapping? Will this guitar’s strum bar at least have a better grip? That was the only flaw with the Gibson; my hand would slip sometimes because you know, they sweat. Besides the axes being backwards compatible with other guitars and games and having interchangeable face-plates will this guitar last without the whammy bar crippling?
I may sound like I’m making a big deal out of a piece of plastic but, I pre-ordered the bundle last month. I’m just hoping it’s worth the $116.89 [that's with tax and shipping by the way]. I’m a gamer who only have Guitar Hero games for her console. That’s pretty much the only time I’ll touch one now. When I built my gaming rig, I haven’t looked back since.
I’ll have to study the set-list more because I may have just half-assed listened/read it. All in all, I know I’m going to enjoy this game regardless because I’ve been with them since the beginning. If they’re up to snuff or not, Queen is on there and hopefully in the long run they’ll add more of Queen through DLC and other bands that I like…hopefully. I still have to download the DLC for Guitar Hero: Metallica; glad I reminded myself. I simply want to play Suicide and Redemption. So if I have to fork up some Microsoft Points to play it then so be it.

Here’s a side note:
Folks, gaming companies in some shape or form, milk their consumers in some way. Look at EA with The Sims 3 and hell The Sims 2 still? Also to you PC gamers, just because you’re a Call of Camping fan-boy and they screwed you over with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 by not giving you dedicated servers among many of other things doesn’t make them ‘evil’. Get your joystick out your ass ok honey?
I’m not naïve or oblivious to any facts. I’m just saying, if you really hate what Activision is doing, don’t support them. Don’t say you’ll go on eBay to get Call of Duty: Black Ops when it comes out in November to keep from supporting Activision because believe it or not, the money makes it back to them. The people you buy the games from can’t pull the games out the crack of their asses. The games come from Activision. So you’re basically supporting them through someone else. I mean they can’t be that evil if you still want to buy their games through eBay. Gamers with a chip on their shoulders can be quite the knee-slapper.
