My Strat plays and sounds better than any Guitar Hero instrument, and is
more fun to not only play, but to feel the power of a healthy E chord
through even my little 2-channel Sears Silvertone amp with 2 12-inch
woofers. An old piggy-back tube amp out of the middle sixties. And, as
mentioned previously, in Guitar Hero, improvisation caused mistakes to be
registered.

Pro mode, maybe. But keep in mind that even with pro mode the feeling
isn't the same. I don't deny what you said about the game being positive.
But that wasn't the point of Charles's post. The general sentiment is,
playing real guitar / drums is a lot more fun than rock band, and while I
like both, I have to agree with him. I prefer my trusty LTD electric
guitar.

Ok, how about the pro mode feature? I'd say that's bridging the gap
between a gamer and a musician quite well. Even if playing real
instruments is more fun for you, what's wrong with also playing the game?
There are plenty of drummers/guitarists etc that play Rock Band all the
time. in fact, most people that can 100% the higher tier songs on expert
without even trying are real musicians. There are also people that aren't
musicians at all that come over and play rock band, and when they started
they had no idea what a harmony was, their rhythm was completely off, and
they were extremely terrible at the game. now some of them can point out
harmonies when they hear one and can play on expert. so I think the game's
definitely having some positive effects on people and calling it merely a
game is a bit unfair.

Sorry Yohandi, but in terms of rhythm games, I'd have to agree with
Charles. Especially being a musician, it's much more appealing to bust
out my guitar, turn on the amp and just blast away. I can improvize
without being penalized, even... action games are something completely
different. Playing music in real life won't get you charged for crime.

why play GTA, when you can actually steal cars and beat up people in
real life? Why play Mortal kombat? might as well do real fatalities
since that'll be way more realistic. oh and tank commander? c'mon, use a
real tank! much more fun that way

About a game like Guitar Hero, I ask: Why pretend when you can do it
for real? I would rather plug my electric guitar into my amp, crank
the volume up on my computer or stereo speakers, put in a CD or tape,
and play along with my favorites, or work on learning a new one, or jam
with other musicians than use something artificial.

Yeah but here's the thing. how will you know if you can play it when
you actually aren't even willing to try the game out? just because a
sighted person tells you so? I had sighted people telling me oh you
can't play rock band, so don't even bother purchasing it. you gotta
see the colored games. well, I'm playing rock band. and to those
asking how do I play it when I'm blind, I won't even bother answering
that question, mainly because we've answered it plenty of times and it
makes absolutely no difference. Isn't it quite obvious that video
games have sound? do you guys somehow think that just cause it's
called a video game this means that it's video exclusive and a totally
muted gaming experience? *sigh*. someone mentioned they don't play
rock band because they're musicians. all I gotta say to that is wow. I
really hope you don't always have that outlook on life.

Hi Liam,
I totally agree. If I know there is a game out there that a blind
person can play that may indeed be intended for sighted players, then
I am willing to give it 100% concentration. Hell, I would even go out
and buy the console it was designed for, just to play that game. But
if you can't play it, because you need a degree of sight, then what
is the point in wasting investments and time just to completely end
up embarrassing yourself with it because you can't play properly like
your sighted peers can? In my opinion that's just prejudice.
Regards,
Damien.
