So...
I was a huge Guitar Hero player back in the day. Got an itch to play this lately so I undusted the PS3 with the guitar and all, with the ony one I had (Smash Hits). Rusty path, my hands are not what they used to be but I'm improving. Got Guitar Hero Metallica and went into a spiral of "What if I play this now". Long story short, ended up giving a try to the Rock Band series.
And I should have really played them before. I mean I did only like twice I think, but never gave them much attention. I like the different approach to songs. I'm playing Rock Band 3 with some DLC and the customization of playlist for the career mode and the classic band to stars story is a cool departure from the more fantastical ideal of the Guitar Hero stories (that I liked though). I mean you don't play these games for the story, but I think it's a pretty cool thing since GH3.
Having a rough time finding the drum kit for either game. I don't know the situation in the States, but in this third world country every drum kit avaliable sells quickly and they are a hard find.
Now going on to Rock Band 4, I really don't know if it's worth it since it seems that most of the songs I like aren't avaliable anymore. I kind of feel sad that these game didn't regained strenght. I blame Activision.
Anyway, good to know there's an active RB scene in ResetEra
