Activision doesn't know what the hell they're doing, other than milking a franchise for every penny that suckers will throw away.

Yeah ;). I can agree with the milkage, but who can possibly hate Van Halen? Although with all these bands getting their own GH versions, I'll wait for the day Black Sabbath gets theirs. :)

I usually prefer to listen to good music, myself. You know, bands that don'twaste any talent they have with multiple insufferable lead singers and fratboy "humor." ;) Eddie still hasn't gotten the hint and gone instrumental.

Come to think of it, this makes far more sense than GH Aerosmith did.

So that makes 5 Guitar Hero games in a single year (Metallica, Smash Hits, Van Halen, GH5, Band Hero)? This is getting bloody ridiculous.

As long as Activision didn't publish a GH iteration starring every single person that ever held a guitar, i think they'll just keep 'em coming.

Expected from Milkivision. Although in the end it doesn't matter they are still a business and all businesses have to stay alive somehow besides all our whining and critisizing won't make a difference it will still sell like pancakes.

Can't we all agree that Activision is the worst most money sucking milking publisher out there. When was the last time they did anything original. Oh that's right they rejected some new promising titles like Brutal Legend, Ghostbusters, and WET and had the nerve to sue EA for Brutal Legend. At least EA tries to produce new ips now with deadspace, mirror's edge, dante's inferno, army of two, etc. Activision will stick by their yearly (3 months for gh) release of CoD, Guitar Hero, and Tony Hawk until gamers stop buying the cr@p they throw out there every year. You know that a company is milking it when they release a two year old port of major blockbuster (CoD4) on the wii at the same time MW2 is coming out on ps3/360/pc

You people are only just realizing this? They've got like 6 guitar hero games out this year including spin offs. It's a joke. Yet idiots will buy it anyway.

If you own guitar hero you can stop the complaining; You caused this. GH has always been trash. Always. The guitars have always been over priced plastic crap. Yet the majority of you lapped it up anyway.

Give yourselves a pat on the back.

I'm skipping this one. I like Guitar Hero and all, but even some Guitar Hero fans have to admit the series is milking. Like Sims (especially since it's no longer under Maxis hands), Dragon Ball (mainly with DBZ), and Naruto.

I seriously don't get why Activision is milking the GH franchise so much. It's CRAZY! I'm a lot more in favor of what Harmonix is doing, releasing DLC for Rock Band 2 and supporting that game as much as possible until they need a sequel, instead of making a new game every six months. I seriously don't care for Activision or GH anymore.

Well I don't care for GH, I love DDR. Your wrong on that mark if your a hardcore player like myself than you need for more games to come out because you get really sick of the same songs over and over again. Even if they pretty much play the same it's the songs that keep you playing.

That's what DLC is for. Harmonix has the right idea. Give people a platform that they themselves can customize... instead of forcing them to buy a new $60 game every time they want a new song list. Plus, DDR games come out every once in a while, not one every 2-3 months. There is releasing enough to fulfill the publics desire for more, and then there is over-saturation.

EDIT: Also, when it comes to Konami music games, they don't just adapt already recorded music to a game, they actually hire composers to put together completely new tracks for every release. With Konami games, you actually get music that hasn't been released before.

Mario party has only had 8 games, it was beaten by all the yearly sports games some time ago. Though I don't think it's possible to beat Final Fantasy...

25 Van Halen songs plus 19 various other artists' songs = 44 songs of variable quality. 45 Beatles songs = 45 examples of some of the best music ever created. :| Is Activision just trying to make TBRB look better than every Guitar hero game ever created? If so, it's working.
Couldn't they just stick this as DLC?nintendog66
Activision: "But the consumer WANTS to continually dump money in our pockets by buying three new discs every year for the 15 songs on it that they may like." OR Activision: "But that's what our competitor is doing, and we're too childish to admit that we were wrong and that Harmonix is the vastly superior rhythm-game creator."

It's 5 games a year. Number of Final Fantasy games: Main series(14), direct sequels(9) and spin offs(29). Total = 52. They'll beat Final Fantasy in aprox. 10 years. The franchise will die off(from milkage) by that time.

I don't even like these music games but at least Harmonix isn't releasing 5 of these ****ers every year. And what is with these bands deserving their game?

Really the only one I agree with is the beatles because they're the freaking beatles!

And as long as people keep buying this **** they'll keep releasing them.
