Activision: Guitar Hero is Dead

How very sad. I was never really into rhythm games but still, sad.

Kind of like the end of an era.

At least Activision made bucket-loads of money while the fad lasted. To those who say Activision killed the music genre by milking it, I doubt it. It would have been like this whether they released games or not- people just lose interest in these types of things after a few years, which is why I believe Acti released as many games as possible at the height. There will always be a hardcore following (like me), but it will never be mega-successful again.

I agree, and it's stupid that people say a company Milks a product, if they don't like the product, don't buy it. People don't need to say something is milked just because they don't like it.

The series was good, and was a great party game. Maybe in the future they can bring it back. or if they used songs from other artists.

I blame Activition for over inflation of musical games....THEY are the one's at fault for this tragity & Rock Band was the better of the two. T_T

Woo hoo rock band wins Xd

Drumming in GH is better than Rock Band's magically changing pads and that's why I was GH owner. Own ALL GH games so at least I have a lot of songs to play until Activision brings back the franchise in 2-3 years for the next round of consoles.

Yeah, Activision making games is the reason Activision isn't going to make them anymore

I was talking about song selection. Rockband actually had songs I WANTED to play to....instead of the majority of Butt Rock like in Guitar Hero. GH was better when Harmonix had it...Activition destroys all it touches. :-c

I am heavy into Guitar Hero and the gaming experience up until GH 6 was much better then in Rock Band. I don't mean the music catalog, but the note-highway and playing as such.

But Rock Band has by far much better music available then GH, but I nevertheless like GH better.
Rock Band 3, on the other hand, has great gaming experience and is funny and cool.

I don't need any more games on disk, because I rather like all music under one game and playing with my friends, what's suiting us at the moment, instead of swapping disks. I appreciated the Metallica-Special-Offer to pull everything into GH 5 and 6.
We rather regularly join a band with 5 people, 2 singers, 1 drummer, 2 guitars. We like to continue doing that.

It would be a shame to close all DLC and the shop in GH or RB, thou. I would like to dontinue search for great music, I hope they continue to support their shops. Both GH and RB.
