Rock Band isn't nearly as milked as Guitar Hero. Rock Band isn't milked at all because they mostly release new songs via DLC.
i'll give you that. but i've been playing what is basically a musical quick time event on plastic peripherals for a while now and i've had my fill. Done!
Same here. I'm going to buy 10 copies of this game now.
Sold on the Doors, though.
Plus the 25-key keyboard, plus three extra cymbals for the drums.
Isn't this all just too much for people? I keep getting the feeling that it is. But I'm like THE target demographic for this game, having purchased about 80% of the DLC they've put out so far, an expert player on all instruments with many 1st place expert guitar scores, who's been getting a little tired of the formula, and who's been brushing up on their actual guitar skills. I genuinely enjoy listening to and being exposed to new music through these games, so somehow it's never gotten stale for me, and this announcement is making my fucking head spin. I consider myself equal parts music fan and gamer, but since Guitar Hero II I haven't been able to pry myself away from rhythm games long enough to appreciate much else, and it looks like the cycle will continue.
