Guitar Hero III Groupies
Ok, that's it. I wasn't psyched about the direction GH3 was going in, but the new web portal they're working on has achievements in the form of collectible groupies. That is so lame. Activision, this is 2007, we don't have groupies anymore, we just have fans - but you're rapidly losing yours, so I can see why you'd misunderstand. Get your ass out of 1978 and come join us in modernity when you're ready. Posted by jane at October 23, 2007 09:25 PMComments
Here's my take on the whole thing, which is different from yours: The game has groupies because the game is all about living the rock and roll fantasy, not rock and roll reality. If it was a realistic game, then you'd be rocking a series of mid-level venues while some guy who talks over a recorded loop or some glorified karaoke singer play big arenas to screaming fans. Nobody wants to be reminded of the fact that most of the bands in the game peaked 20 or more years ago or are playing 1000-seat club dates. Posted by: Ron Hogan on October 23, 2007 10:40 PM
