"I'm getting a little tired of music games at this point, but if I had to choose between Rock Band 3's more realistic approach to playing and Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock's Quest Mode, I'd probably go with the latter. The past couple of generations have produced games with no real goals other than to play through all the songs and get high scores. I wouldn't mind having an actual game to play."
 
Thank you Mike Fahey, finally I'm not the only one gets the point of quest mode.

That's great. Now you're not alone anymore = )
 
Seriously though, I'm kind of tired of pressing colored buttons and both series have lost their charm to me. The last music game I bought was the first Rock Band. I will pick up RB3, if only because I'm interested in the guitar part

"The beast is a lumbering , mechanical souless creature, essentially hes the enemy of Rock n Roll" It's funny how the director of the game gets it spot on. 
 
Ughh if the structure is anything like the last two it'll be 7 song sets with 5 of them you dont give a shit about one thats ok and one you "kinda like"

I feel bad for the teams that are forced to work on Guitar Hero. Activision's a monster. 
 
Let it die Activision, let it die.

Sorry, you can't have fun anymore . I don't know what to tell you, I still think music games are fun as hell and I'm buy both this one and RB3. "

" @trophyhunter: Glad you can still enjoy the newer games. For me it ended with RB2, I honestly doubt they can find enough good music for either franchise to keep me interested at least. Still fun to play the old ones with some friends and beer though! "

I'm sure I wasn't the first person to hate Activision, so... no?  Are you defending them? "

I and every other person that shares distaste for Activision have very good reasons for it. The main one being their business model. It's absolute shit the way are choosing to run their company. Discouraging new IPs and innovation within current IPs is garbage. Sure, some of their games can be good (not GH though), but why would you want to support a company like that? It probably helps that I'm sick of playing shooters and didn't even buy MW2. If you want to believe I find Activision off-putting because I want to be cool though, then whatever, more power to ya.
 
You can cut out the sarcasm by the way.

So.... that makes it million bucks, right?

Activision has hammered game franchises into the ground, no doubt about it. But on topic, the track listings are what do it for me, and i prefer the Rockband track listings a lot more. It's not just crazy riffs and insane solos, it gives a good variety and can get you into other genres of music. Tears for Fears is one of my all time favourite bands and finally they will be represented in RB3, hopefully the song is head over heels, anything but shout please! Plus not to mention i wanna try the keytar so bad!

" So.... that makes it million bucks, right? "

Eh, I like both Rock Band and Guitar Hero, but setlists are what sell me on the games. I really don't care for a story and so far, RB3 has a better setlist.

I don't play music games for a story.

Why don't they take the guitars add a gyroscope in it and do a game like Gitaroo Man. I wouldn't know how to go about it, but I know that would be a damn good idea. Also, take the drums and do something like Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. I'm talking about the first one. Not the second one with all those crap ass cover songs.

well I'm saying that's whats wrong with everyone. "

I haven't been able to enjoy a Guitar Hero game since Rock Band came out. I just vastly prefer the HUD and style. 
Quest mode does absolutely nothing for me. The point of Rock Band and Guitar Hero is to simulate being a rock star. Some of the best times I had playing Rock Band were making ridiculous bands and dressing up characters in hideous outfits. Also, as someone who is kinda-interested in learning how to play music, Pro Mode in RB3 seems really interesting, as well as the further emphasis on a band. In that video, they talked about having songs more fit for guitar, which--as someone who is primarily shafted to drumming--disinterests me even further. 
 
I will say, however, that the idea of abilities is kind of interesting, although I'd prefer that in a perk format, and not in a character one.

People play music games because they like to play music. If people are going to a music games for a deep and complex story, than there going to the wrong place. "

... I enjoyed DJ Hero if that counts...

Yeah but this is both, maybe not a deep story but it's something more than just playing music. That's like saying "I play shooting games for the shooting, get this story out of here."  Do you see how crazy that sounds? "

Yes, I'm not that type of person that likes many, many genres of music. I have maybe 4-5 favs and stick with them. I have found a small amount of songs on the marketplace that are in my style. That's all. "

I have yet to buy a single RockBand/GuitarHero game. 
 
The closest I ever came to it was with Beatles Rock Band for the Wii... But then I kinda saw past it as being what it is. 
 
Which is just another rhythm game with a Beatles License to make some extra money off fans of their music.

" Its a lot more than "hey play these few dozen songs, and that's it" "

I completely see where your coming from, but the majority of the population don't care about story in music games. Think about DDR, while it may of had a story mode in some home versions, you play it for the songs. Also for the shooting games it doesn't sound so crazy when you think about multiplayer. "

Have you not seen all of the billions of Guitar Hero games that have been released over the years? Those were exactly that. Rock Band made it fun by adding modes you'd actually want in a music game. "

I will get the game when it becomes cheap. The setlist isn't that appealing to me, but with 160 songs in GH5 I really want to merge them with Warriors of Rock for a bigger list. Buying a bunch of instruments for RB3 is intimidating, but I really want to try out the piano.

Yeah, I don't hate thing just because the are popular to hate. This game and call of duty: black ops both look awesome. You can go be "cool" I'll be over here actually having fun.   Also  I'm buying rockband 3 also, so I actually have the ability to like two things at once. Is that not amazing? "

Oh god, not THIS again....
 
Just shut up about Activision and get back on whatever the actual topic was about.

Shut the fuck up... 
 
Honestly how old are you? Yeah it's totally a fad to hate on Activision. There is NO rational reason to hate that bastard of a company... "

If they can make a story that's good, then great, but considering what the game is, I can't ever see it working. Anything else Guitar Hero has done in way of story has been terrible.

I think that if Guitar Hero was ever going to differentiate itself from Rock Band, this was the only way to do it well. Just take the over-the-top-ness that the series has always had, and crank it up to 11. It's smart for the franchise.

I never much cared for the metal aesthetic that Guitar Hero started to get after the second game, and this game seems to be furthuring it to an extreme. The quest mode looks like a poor man's Brütal Legend.
