Same could be said about flight sims and WWII games. You can just counterattack telling them to get real guns and kill real people if they think they’re so badass by shooting at polygons.

I’m actually a keyboardist by trade. Sure, it’s not exactly a guitar, but I do know my way around a musical instrument.

That said, I’m also a fan of Guitar Hero, and I get more than my fair share of “lol lrn 2 play rl guitar”, like I have nothing better to do with my time. (I don’t, I’m just offended by the notion!)

Oh, that’s okay, LonelyTylenol. I had GH2 and really enjoyed it. But it’s just a game. You are not learning how to “rock & roll” you are learning how to play Zelda.

And it’s not like playing an actual guitar is that hard. Learn 3 chords and you are on par with over 50% of the recording industry.

Lord help me if I were to play a video game for FUN and not to feel like I’ve done something special, AlecDalek…

At least provide a link to the episode. The internet was invented for watching South Park

These are not musical instruments, they are joysticks. If you think you’re something special because you’ve unlocked some achievement in RB or GH, you need to go watch this before it’s too late:

It’s really good, My opinion is that the controller is better- the strum bar doesn’t click and it’s really sensitive. the presentation of the notes as bars rather than circles makes timing infinitely easier for me, and the keys are actually nicer because they’re bigger, and you can slide down them much easier. they feel much more responsive than the slushy GH keys.

drums are hard, but that’s probably just because it’s a new format

The Guitar Hero controllers for all platforms are compatible with Rock Band, so you don’t need to use the Rock Band guitar.
