Well…what to say, what–to–say…
This is my first attempt at a blog, I’ve never found a real reason to WRITE one before, EVER; and I’m still not sure I’ve found one.
I’m bored — that, and only that, is the only reason I’m writing this…so, I’ll share some thoughts.
Recently, I have been playing Guitar Hero III…now, being a guitar player for 6 years, I obviously have a different angle on a game like this.
Not only am I a guitar player, It is my life passion, and pretty much the only reason I don’t <insert anecdote’ish description of suicide here>.
I started the game on the Medium difficulty, since I always start every game at Normal (Medium, Middle, you get the point) difficulty(s).
The learning curve of the game is not too steep unless you’re either blind or deaf; respectively…but when I finished the game on Hard mode, I decided to play it on Expert…excuse ME for trying to naturally evolve in the world of guitar hero, guitar hero.
1st Tier was O.K, 2nd…Still O.K…up to 6th it was great…then comes a song like One, where, during the solo, you have to do this; and I’ll try to describe using words: “Blakjdlakelnrjafjknkjnjkfaefjaefkjebnfljkanejfnbaekjfnakjfbeakjfbakefbkaejfnkajefnkajnfkajenfkjebjeakeanfkaejfnkeajbehbkaejfbakjebfkajebfa”
Does that make any sense? No. That’s right, it doesn’t. So…you have to go and practice, and practice and practice xy. (as in x amount of y as in in y = infinite.)
I tried though…believe me, I did. But this annoying feeling of screwing up a song gets OLD, FAST…not to mention the eventual total acid trip from the very suspicious moving fretboard on the background of a moving CAMERA…brainwashing anybody?
In conclusion, I’d always prefer playing something like Cliffs of Dover on a real guitar than a plastic controller, however addictive and kinda sickly fun it is.
Plus, I usually don’t think about this, about 80% of guitar players in the world can’t even play the intro to Cliffs of Dover, so — Have your virtual satisfaction…damn you…
Peace, and Happiness.
