Que pasa!

I hate stress. I wish I could just take it out of my body and choke-slam it through my floor into hell.  When I'm not at school, I'm home stressing over it with tests and whatnot. I hate it sooooooo much!

Last night, my friend brought over GH:WT when I was supposed to be studying. I absolutely love that game. The new guitar took a little getting used to but I think it is a good addition by Red Octane. Playing the solo in Satch Boogie with the touch pad was really fun, even though I missed most of the notes.

I gotta get this off my chest, I HATE the art direction this game is taking with their character models and whatnot. Axel Steel looked like he was anorexic and just flat out ugly. Even though it is a huge step up from GH3, they get off the hook by letting you create your own characters, which allows you to not have to stare at the same ugly people all the time.  Hopefully, they get someone else to come in and redesign the game for a better overall presentation in the future (they have the money).

The music in the game is a better blend of different styles compared to GH3, which is a huge plus. Also, most of the songs are not as hard but some still suffer from artificially charting in chords or extra notes to make a song harder. I play the guitar in real life, so call me a purist when it comes to little things like that.  From what I played, I FC'd about 3 or 4 songs, a rarity for me, but that didn't make me hate the game for being easier, it made me happy that it will be somewhat more accessible to a wider audience and people who can't FC the whole game within a year.

So far, it looks like the game is getting a decent amount of DLC. I don't expect it to be weekly like another game, considering how GH3's DLC promises were basically bull doodiepies, but so far you have Death Magnetic, Classic Rock Pack, Neversoft Pack and a Guitar Duel Pack (19 songs I think) and more on the way. It's a shame that people won't have the luxury of getting songs every week, but by christmas, there should be a decent amount (probably not) for myself and others to complain about, but we'll have to see.

Overall, my first experience with the game was great and I cannot wait until christmas when I get my final music game bundle (no more instruments until the next console if not compatible). Now you can say, well, you have Rock Band also, so it's the same game. That's true that even though they are the same concept, most people will be loyal to at least 1 of the brands. In my case, I like GH more than RB due to GH having a bigger impact and the introducion of plastic fun into my life, but I still like both games for being music games so I win no matter what. : ).

You do know Guitar Hero 1 and 2 where made by Harmonix, the guys that are making Rockband? You should be liking Harmonix for having a bigger impact of plastic fun in your life, not guitar hero.

Duh I know Harmonix is behind all of this. They deserve all the credit. But, I can't play Harmonix the company, I can play Guitar Hero and Rock Band. So the game had a much bigger impact on me than the people who made it, get it?

Cars go WOO WOOOOOOOO.

Don't worry, man. I'm right there with you. College is some hard work. I have 4 sealed games sitting next to me that I just can't seem to find the time to play due to school. And on top of it all my 360 RROD'd today. So I had to go blow $300 on a new one. But yeah, you're not alone.

I only "get it" if you got into Guitar Hero with Guitar Hero 3.  I've probably played over 100 hours of Guitar Hero 2, was disappointed with 3 and moved onto Rock Band/2 which went in a much more preferable/fresh direction.  I still go back to Guitar Hero 2 every once in a while and it's fun.  I can't say the same regarding Guitar Hero 3."

Yeah, I love GH: WT as well. The only DLC I didn't get for it is Death Magnetic cause I'm worried it won't be worth the 800-1600 points they want for it.
