Sadly????! !

Lastfm is pretty good, I hear

Well, they did bring it upon themslves by milking the series to death. Shame everyone loses interest in GH instead of COD, though.

Play a real instrument

but really guitar hero is fun but I try not to be super good at it. Because if you are then you're just not cool in my eyes.

Good riddance to Guitar Hero.
Next... Call of Duty.

Ugh. Seriously people, this guy has left thanks to your inability to provide a mature response (unless stringing together a load of emoticons meaninglessly is mature). I've been able to at least have a decent thread on this on other forums I go on. Seriously, just grow up.

Quality thread right here guys.

Thread of the year?

*sigh* The OP "deleted" his posts, replacing them with an emoticon.

Thanks Yowuza. It's true. I just wanted to have a discussion about Guitar Hero ending and how much great memories I had of it, but I can't accept insults so I changed the thread to pretend it never happened. I'll probably end up changing this comment too.

Guitar Hero may no longer be supported - but as long as I have my XBox and my little plastic fake guitar, it will never die!

(What's Guitar Hero have to do with "real instruments"? You should check out the footage of the guys from Rush trying to play their own songs in GH and Rock Band - the controllers just work too differently from real instruments for the skills to transfer over. Although Neil Peart didn't do too badly on drums - it was ultimately Geddy's bass playing that made them fail out in the first verse of "Spirit of Radio"...)

GH was a decent franchise, but Activision milked it to death. After a while there was no innovation to be had. They continue to try, but I see no difference in sequels -- unlike the radical differences inherent in every release for the first three (considering the third was the first game made by Activision).

Now with everyone already owning their fake plastic instruments and playing the songs they want (or making customs if they cannot find them), Activision should have realized the waning interest in the franchise a while ago.

It's unfortunate. Red Octane's drum controller is lightyears better than what Harmonix is providing, but GH's DLC offerings have always been rather lackluster.
