Title: Band Hero!!!
Post by: Ookii on October 16, 2009, 08:38:07 AM
Who played the demo? It's out on the XBL thingie right now!

It's actually pretty awesome, so far it's shaping up to be a lot better than GH5, and you get to play banjo in Taylor Swift's song!

Banjo Hero? 

Here we go with the Deliverance references.

Downloading now.

What's the diff between this and GH5? I thought it was just the same engine/game repackaged with some tween-friendly songs?

What's the diff between this and every other Activision and Harmonix music game? I thought it was just the same engine/game repackaged with different songs.

Fixed.

Yeah, aside from that. Wondering why Ooki felt is was shaping up to be better than 5 though, rather than the same.

Better yet, who the fuck is Taylor Swift, and why should I care?

Get off of my lawn.

Because it's stupid fun to play pop songs rather than the esoteric stuff they have on GH5. I'd have no problem with the songs on GH5 if they were more fun to play.

It doesn't matter who Taylor Swift is, her song is very fun to play on Band Hero. My roommate is an expert drummer and he says 'Walking on Sunshine' is fun as hell as well. That said, not knowing who Taylor Swift is means you're kind of out of the loop.

Or that I'm not a tween girl, and I actually like good music.

I'm leaning towards my interpretation.

So in short, identical gameplay but you prefer the BH music selection?

FWIW, I don't know who Taylor Swift is, either..

Most bearable pop is clubby pop which isn't going to really translate that well to Guitar + Drum video game nonsense is it?  If Taylor Swift is an example of good pop for this game I'm really glad I don't know anyone who's into this shit.

You two wandered a little far from the home I see.
