Honestly, i have mixed feelings about the game.
On one hand i get the appeal of the game and see how fun it is but on the other hand the superficiality of it bothers me. I honestly don't get why someone would put so much effort to pretending to play guitar instead of playing a real guitar. The amount of effort they are putting to this game is frankly impressive and i don't understand why don't they don't put that same effort into playing an actual instrument or starting a real band.
I think it bothers me cause that's what i did, as soon as i heard Nirvana i wanted to become a musician and be in a band, pretending to have a videogame band over that still seems silly.. At the same time, i kinda get it. i play Skate 3 alot yet i don't have the dedication to become an actual skater.  |
I think that the main explanation is that the transition from knowing nothing about Rock Band to being amateurish on it takes far less time than the first hurdles a new musician faces. It also comes down to a lot people seeing learning a skillset as not being entertaining (regardless of how often musicians say that music is fun as hell once you get going) while seeing learning how to play a game as an obligatory and short road to fun.
