With Guitar Hero being killed off today, what better time than now to celebrate one of the most influential and game-changing franchises of all time? Here are my 5 standout Guitar Hero moments...
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
The Guitar Hero franchise died in the wake of Activision's lust for Call of Duty, but we should be dusting off those plastic guitars for a new Guitar Hero game.
Guitar Hero was good. The problem was Activision started creating many versions. Guitar Hero had the every one year cycle like COD and people felt they were being robbed.
Why in the hell would one want to spend time to learn a button mashing order when you can lean to play a real guitar in the same time frame.
As the world reels from the shockwaves of the seismic news that Microsoft is acquiring the proverbial swamp of the video-game landscape, Activision Blizzard King, it only seems natural that our minds should now shift towards what the fallout will be for presumably years if not decades to come.
Another Prototype would be awesome.
As for Singularity, I don't necessarily need a sequel, I just want to see Raven be able to flex their creative muscle again; not just be relegated to assisting with CoD. A lot of the old guard is still with the company.
That's part of what I'm hoping to see come from this acquisition. Revive teams like Vicarious Visions and Ravem to actually allow them to work on their own new projects again.
I'd like to see Activision get the Transformers license again and continue the War and Fall of Cybertron games. the movie games were crap and the game that combined both movie and Fall and War of Cybertron sucked a new Prototype would also be good as well.
Re-imagining of River Raid and the original adventurer Pitfall. Oh Zork is also a great game.
Bobby Kotick killed Metal
Guitar Hero's Tracklist...
all of them were memorable
Wow he is a noob at GH. TTAF is easy to beat and I 4 starred freebird all on expert.
I hate when things come to an end, even when it's time. Always makes me a little sad and nostalgic. Thank goodness I still have Rock Band, or I would probably actually cry.
Sad to see such a great franchise get killed by this d#$k. If it wasn't for GH, I would've never started listening to DragonForce, and metal in general. :(
my top 5 moments:
1. finishing GH2s career mode on expert. i was the first person on the official playstation forums to do so (even though i did it on 360), and pretty much noone there believed me until one of the mods there who is on my friends list compared achievements and confirmed.
2. beating my first song on expert.
3. beating TTFAF on expert.
4. beating raining blood on expert.
5. playing GH2 for the first time, i was instantly hooked. it was ~3 weeks between playing it for the first time to when i beat it on expert, i couldnt put it down lol.
