Game Informer Online: "When we first heard that Activision was going to be releasing a greatest-hits sort of game for the Guitar Hero series, we were excited. The series has evolved to include features like better visuals, higher-quality audio and support for multiple instruments, which have all been great additions. Without the capability of pulling in songs from older games, however, a lot of classic songs have been left in the dust. Players are certainly able to dig out their old copies and rock out, but it's a seemingly unnecessary hassle. Even worse, some of the songs in those older games are virtually unplayable, since the hammer-ons and pull-off controls were clearly a work in progress."
The rumors are swirling, so The Geek Culture has a few suggestions on how Activision can bring back Guitar Hero right.
A personal run down of a few games that despite being overlooked actually didn't suck, from shooters to action games.
Craig Hasselback writes: "Activision just continues finding new ways to go from the popular publisher that stayed the course and rose to number one, to being the big jerk that is too big for their own britches as my grandpa would say. Since becoming the number publisher, Activision has done everything possible to piss off gamers."
Well sadly, until the average gamer realizes that they are getting screwed over, Activision is going to be number 1 for a while(as much as I hate to say it).........
... it seems they can.
You need to get the message across with your wallet!
If you LOVE gaming, and if you HATE the way Activision is doing business: DON'T BUY ACTIVISION GAMES (or buy them used) and certainly DON'T BUY THEIR DLC!
It's THAT simple!
Amen. Honestly all the major pubs are starting to become jacked up. Take-Two with the DLC on BioShock 2's disc. EA with selling "DLC" that unlocks content in sports games instead of playing to earn it.
They're all borderline A-holes
Overcharging is the problem. Dragon Age Origins is one of my favorite games but the dlc is overpriced. dlc should cost a few dollars or it should be free.
