GH80s did disgustingly well for how half-assed and overpriced it was. Harmonix definitely had the janitors work on that one.

 

[TheGreatDave]

GH3 sold so well because Neversoft are masters of their craft.

The soundtrack being awesome probably helped just a bit.

:lol

GH3 was also the first game that wasn't all covers, correct?

 

[XShagrath]

GH2 360 had a couple non-covers, didn't it? Besides bonus bands, of course.

I think the original GH2 (PS2) had some non-covers for the main setlist.

Edit: It did. Stop and John the Fisherman.

Yeah Jane's Addiction and one other song. I meant as the focus though.

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

GH3 didn't have all masters, just a huge majority. 19 of those songs where covers.

 

[TheGreatDave]

GH3 was the first to be real multiplatform. Case closed.

and the first on the Wii. If you ever look at those "time spent on Wii" graphs that come out every so often, GH3, to this day, still gets a ton of constant play.

*is reminded of the God-awful cover of Story of My Life*

Make it stop, MAKE IT STOP!

Ooop. Yea, forgot about the multiplatform aspect.

People who play GH3 also have no taste in games. Case closed.

Showing just how good it is. Bravo, Neversoft.

GH3 > B:RB

 

[Ridley327]

Well, Harmonix's early attitude towards the Wii definitely didn't help their chances.

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

If Harmonix hadn't fucked up so much with the original, and sequel, I think RB could have stood a chance against GH on the Wii, as well as Europe and Australia.

Not offering a guitar bundle was one of their biggest fuck ups too.

 

[Remfin]

It was my understanding that 80's sold less than half of what 2 sold. But I suppose that could have been a chartz number.

Not offering, at least, a separate guitar to be sold didn't help too much. Not for PS3, anyway.

You cannot defend La Grange's cover and be of sound mind.

 

[XShagrath]

If you only played guitar already (from GH) and had no interest in drums, then you just had to buy the game. If you were new to the rhythm game party, why would you only want a guitar? So your friend can sit and watch while you shred?

If you're trying to say Story of My Life's cover was any good, I've got a nice, snug straight jacket you can borrow.

Considering the Band Bundle only had one guitar, and the PS3 version couldn't use the Les Pauls for months, I think it would be a good idea to sell an extra guitar at that point.

Okay.. You got me there. I kinda wish the band bundle just came with 2 guitars. I understand only including one to keep the price down, but only providing enough peripherals for three people in a four person game is kinda lame (especially at the offset).

Also wasn't the Les Paul incompatibility a cock-block from Activision? Although HMX should've done a test on that, perhaps.

To clarify: We didn't get Les Paul support until close to a year later, and the first time a guitar only came out was about 6 months later.

Maybe you wanted to play the songs in RB1 but not spend $200 upfront? Guitar has always been the most appealing instrument, there's no reason to assume the only people playing RB1 were people who wanted to play 4 player.

You underestimate the power of drums.

Also.. :lol at poor people.

Well, as far as I know the Les Paul was released just a few weeks before RB1. HMX tried to make it as compatible as possible, but when they tried to release a patch they were cockblocked by Activision.

To clarify: We didn't get Les Paul support until close to a year later, and the first time a guitar only came out was about 6 months later.

That's it. I couldn't remember the exact time-frame.

I'm just bored.. I'll be bowing out soon to watch Hurt Locker and then play some Alan Wake after the sun goes down.

It's not a case of being poor. If you were a Harmonix fan who loved GH on PS2, and then bought a new console, your only option was to buy a different game or spend $200. Most people don't play drums.

IF you were a HMX fan who bought a 360, you'd already have a guitar from GH2 360.

Case in point, me.

 

[XShagrath]

I will never agree with you, Dave. So I'm just going to let this one fade out. Doesn't mean you win, just means I don't wanna go in circles all day.

Do you have any idea how badly I want to kill you?

 

[XShagrath]

Not if you already bought it on PS Double.

If you were a real HMX fan, then you'd have it on both because the 360 version contained new songs and achievements.

I remember getting that game before its street date and playing Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo and thinking it was the best thing ever. I still need that song as RB DLC.

Is that a threat? :lol

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

Again, case in point me. I bought GH2 PS2 played it for two weeks before I traded in my PS2 towards my PS3.

Do I really need to take a picture of all of the guitar bundle boxes I have in my closet?

 

[birdman]

Again, case in point me. I bought GH2 PS2 played it for two weeks before I traded in my PS2 towards my PS3.

Same here, to a degree. I didn't really get into GH until 2 on the 360. I bought GH2 on PS2, but didn't play it for that long.

Is that a threat? :lol

With this and the thing about calling the cops a few days ago, it sounds like Dave's got some unchecked English aggression.
