I'm assuming that people simply got tired of the same game every year

The guitar is associated with dadrock

>Makes a game that allow you to turn any music into game
>still make sequels for no reason

More like the same game 5 times a year

Beyond releasing 1,000 games in a short period of time? Well, the fact that there's little "playing guitar" involved. It was more of a glorified whack-a-mole with a guitar-shaped input device.

activision went full retarded pulling a CoD giving the game so many releases that people started losing interest. The releases after G3 didn't have a song list better than it and introduced more and more microtransactions.

Bobby kotick

They didn't evolve.

Probably oversaturation but I don't have a single fact to back that up

I got sick of them when they started trying to compete with Rock Band.

release too many games, instead of more dlc
old dlc didn't transfer forward

Market oversaturation

Rock Band did it better.

There were 14 Guitar Hero games between 2008 and 2009.

You tell me.

Along with just the yearly releases of Guitar Hero games, you had Rock Band as a major competitor, as well as dozens of knock off games clogging store shelves.

I was always, more of a Rock Band guy, because Harmonix treated that game more as a platform and most of your music carried over from game to game, and they didn't release nearly as many titles as Activision did with the GH brand. The market, however, wasn't large enough to hold so many titles flooding the market all at once. There still is a market for it,and I believe was primed for a comeback, but unfortunately GH Live and Rock Band 4 launched around the same time, and ended up squelching any hope we had for a resurgence in the genre.

I have RB4 and really enjoy playing it, but it's too bad the sub-genre has almost no hope in taking off again now.

>The releases after G3 didn't have a song list better than it

Nice meme. GH3 only gets remembered because of fags wanking over TTFAF, despite the fact that most of the setlist is boring trash that is only tolerated because it allows you to unlock a few better songs.

For the thread, too many titles in too short of time. I generally disliked Rock Band for having shitty guitars and feeling too sterile, but apparently people liked the DLC method.

>You tell me.
So if I wanted to get gh, I shouldn't get gh3? Isn't there a mod that allows you to access community made songs?

You should absolutely get GH3, it's the best in the series unless you're wanting to play the other instruments too but you're better off with Rock Band 3 for that. There are ways to load community made songs into both of them for multiple platforms.

>Knights of Cydonia
>Raining Blood
>One
>Number of the beast
>Cult of personality
>When you were young
>Holiday in cambodia

>Boring

ok
is freedom drive a me me in gh

>Thought you were joking and googled it

Jesus Christ

sad aint it?

Huh, funny, I've been having an itch to play guitar hero recently, I might undust my old guitar and pirate gh3 for pc.

No, GH3 has the absolute worst gameplay, presentation, and character designs of any game in the series. It's an abomination.

> changed the guitar
> changed the controls
> added shitty pop music like fall out boy, katy perry, skrillex etc
> used shitty modern online xD DLC mandatory to get new songs

HURRR i wonder what?

then what is the best one to start with?

>When You Were Young
>Before I Forget
>Knights of Cydonia
>not boring

Even then, that's about 5 memorable/decent songs. Comparatively, World Tour had:

-Purple Haze
-Satch Boogie
-Sweet Home Alabama
-Crazy Train
-Mr. Crowley
-Never Too Late
-Do It Again
-Trapped Under Ice
-Hot For Teacher
-Ramblin' Man
-Hotel California

The list was stacked with classic guitar anthems.

Gitadora did it originally and far better, but I haven't heard much of it for years now ever since Konmai practically closed off Bemani to the outside world.

It's kind of funny, they definitely released too many games too quickly, but most of them retained a decent level of quality. I even enjoyed Live for what it was.

Then again, I've never played 5, Warriors, or Band Hero, so maybe I got lucky.

>the same 10 classic rock songs that everyone has heard a billion times
Not saying the other guy's list isn't also boring but that's even more boring.

2 is probably the most accessible

>tfw the latest Rock Band had Light Up The Night
>I never got to play it

>Steely Dan

Onion discarded

>>the same 10 classic rock songs that everyone has heard a billion times
FUCKING THIS. And you want to know why we're forced to listen to those same goddamn massively overplayed classiv rock tracks whenever someone turns on the radio? It's because the absolute Jews at Clearchannel own almost every single radio station, meaning they only play songs that they paid for the rights to. For example you'll never hear a quality Zepplin song like Achilles Last Stand, you'll only hear their singles that got replayed fucking ten thousand times.

>For example you'll never hear a quality Zepplin song like Achilles Last Stand, you'll only hear their singles that got replayed fucking ten thousand times.

You'll never hear Zepplin in any music game officially. But more to the point, what's the point of a guitar-based game if you're going to ignore the most iconic songs written for it? It'd be like making a piano-based music game and purposely omitting Elton John/Billy Joel/Ben Folds/Connor Oberst

Guitar Hero Iron Maiden when?

If Elton John/Billy Joel/etc were spammed on the radio (which they are) and had been in every other Keyboard Hero game then yeah, they should be ignored. Or better yet pick a song that isn't as well known. I haven't listened to much Elton John but Billy Joel's got a bunch of great songs besides Piano Man but Piano Man is all that would ever be in one of these games because these games appeal to the same people that unironically listen to classic rock radio all day every day and apparently according to you they should. Or, like I hinted at above, try and expose people to new music through your games by picking songs that people haven't already picked up through osmosis.

From my experience the audio mixing in Warriors was garbage. On top of that, the songs that were already in rockband tended to have better guitar charts in it than in GH6. Never played Band Hero on consoles but it was actually pretty good on DS since it had an entirely different setlist

It's a fun chart, maybe someone has converted it for FoFiX/Phase Shift. I'd suggest looking around.

Billy Joel has like 20+ songs in Rockband my dude.

I think Clone Hero has almost all the charts from the entire Guitar Hero series

>Clone Hero
>When Harmonix made both series
Not every chart. A few off the top of my head I can think of would be Trapped Under Ice, Cliffs of Dover, Crazy for You, Carry Me Home, and Infected. There's alot of songs that never transferred over sadly.

>You ment FoF when you said clone hero but I assumed you ment Rockband
Wow I'm retarded tonight.

No i meant Clone Hero.
It's a Unity based game that looks like GH3.

In your defense both would undoubtedly apply. Now if you said something like retarded like Patapon then I wouldn't blame you for feeling absentminded.

Shit that's actually really neat. How are the hit windows for notes?

Didn't they like limit how much you can play songs and make it so you had to farm points to play songs you owned or some shit too?

I only have a Rock Band Drum kit and drums aren't implemented yet but i think two former Guitar Hero champions (not sure) have switched over to it.
UKOGmonkey and Acai. Most of their videos are them playing either Clone Hero, Guitar Hero or Rock Band.

Ah. I may stick to Phase Shift until all the instruments are added, plus charting with EOF is really easy, recently did Venom's "Don't Burn The Wtich" for guitar, fun chart.

Are there any cheap and optimal rockband drumsets (electronic cheap sets) for, of course, cheap?

The original series went wrong when they milked the FUCK out of it. 2009 alone had:
>2 band themed spinoffs
>a compilation of songs from past games
>2 DS games
>a main series game
>a pop-themed reskin of said main series game

The fact they gave out Van Halen for free if you bought 5 shows even Activision realized how insane it had gotten.


As for what went wrong with Live?
>replace all the crazy characters and venues with full motion video
>a Top 40 soundtrack with only a small number of songs one would want to play
>GHTV had a load of actual great songs. However, you were at the mercy of when the songs would "air" if you wanted to play them
>only way to play a GHTV song when you wanted was to either grind for free picks, or buy a 24 hour unlimited pass with real money
>no way to permanently buy and download songs to play whenever

It's a real shame. The new gameplay was actually interesting, and would have worked in a game that wasn't a FMV microtransation mess.

Why did they close neversoft? They did a good job with Warriors of rock

You should know that Joel's Greatest Hits album entirely got added into Rock Band.

i miss dj hero

World Tour was my favorite, it was comfy

I really prefer how Rock Band handled the charting of it's pro-guitar shit.
Sucks there isn't a PC equivalent.

>Finally get The Protomen in Rock Band
>It's the worst game by far
>Doesn't even support Keys anymore

The Protomen jam? Damn. I need some pleb friends.

>Going to gamestop for an interview today
>See a poo in loo saying he needed a replacement guitar for the game because one of the frets busted
>People are actually playing this shit
Sad
