>SENDING OUT AN S.O.S

Not retro.

Read the sticky, faggot

>The Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and Sony PlayStation 2 will now be considered "retro".

A perfect moment to play Holy DIver for Famicom. Help Randy defeat the Slayer!

The rise and fall of GH is really interesting, probably mirrors some rock band's career
>sudden underground hit

>fades into nothing overnight

Bark at the Moon was the final campaign boss of GH1.

Rock Band 3 was depressing because it seemed like there would be support for it but nobody gave a single fuck. This shit died like 3DTVs and 3D movies.

GH1 is basically unplayable. Idk if it was any better on release before everyone got used to how 2 or 3 plays.

>>11888495
Yeah, the novelty wore off, "casual games on consoles" like Wii/Kinect were falling out of fashion after 7th gen, plus rock music died
Gen Z is probably the first generation that didn't grow up on rock and looks down on it
To be fair though, about same happened to DDR

Guitar Hero (well specifically, GH2) got me laid in college a couple times. I’ll always have a soft spot for it

Are you trying to play on an emulator?
1 and 2 required strict precision, then Neversoft loosened things up for 3 and made it more fun imo. Rock Band seemed slightly more forgiving as well, though it was still Harmonix.

GH1 and 2 were made in that awkward time when we were transitioning from CRTs to HDTVs, so the input lag and precision varied so much that they put a lag compensation thing in the options so that everything feels right.

>>11888653 yea this too >>11888681
Same reason you can't play Frequency/Amplitude without a CRT. Thankfully there's Amplitude Deluxe.

>>11888495
It was inevitable. At some point all the songs you would really want to do the air guitar thing for had already been done and once you start getting into entire games devoted to single artists the whole thing is becoming increasingly niche. If you give that much of a fuck about learning Metallica's entire catalogue at some point just buying a real guitar makes more sense

>Oh no this board might actually start talking about good games instead of shit NES, Saturn, and N64 games!
What a weird thing to be worried about.

>>11888695
middest of wit

>>11888653
>Are you trying to play on an emulator?
Well, yes. I've played plenty of GH and RB games on emulator, mainly with RPCS3 but also Rock the 80s.
I can hit regular notes fine. The HOPOs are so fucked that you have a better chance just strumming every note. Also the lack of hyperspeed sucks if that's what you're used to.

>>11888695
rocksmith is goated, fuck plus though

>>11888604
DDR games are still being made though, and they still have a scene.
Plastic guitar games really did vanish

>>11888604
Gen Z sees hard rock like hard rockers saw rock and roll, cool but antiquated. Gen Z guitarists do math rock or garage, some still get it

daaa dadadada daa delelelele dadadaaa dadadaaa

>>11888703
This faggot board rather talk about gay homebrew trash like Smash Remix and Paprium instead of good games from 1-6

>>11888593
Did they ever improve the fret buttons so they were faster to spring back and didn't hurt your fingers, or improve the picking thing (it's not a button, so wtf do you call it) so that it is faster?

>>11888593
hammer-ons and pull-offs are very precise, as precise as strumming the note normally but you are doing it with your off-hand.
they changed it in GH2 and all subsequent games to let you release or hit the new note with a greater window which is honestly more accurate to a real guitar doing that same thing.

>>11888695
>muh real guitar
I don't play to LARP as a guitarist, it's just a fun rhythm game

>>11888495
Big if true
