For the record, some of the very good Guitar Hero players (e.g. Acai) are rather competent with an actual guitar.
But as an active GH and regular guitar player, comparing it to an actual guitar isn't fair. I enjoy playing actual guitar as an exercise in creativity. I play GH to enjoy music more interactively rather than creatively.
- grawprog 7y agoI never liked the guitar hero games. They're not much like playing a real guitar and every time i played them it just made me want to go play my guitar instead. Especially knowing how to actually play some of the songs in those games. The note patterns they used for the buttons didn't match up to how you actually played the songs. (Using the right most button for a note you'd actually use your middle or ring finger to play rather than your pinky for example)
- billfruit 7y agoI got a very similar reaction with adult colouring books, when I tried one, I felt I should be rather doing my own drawing than just colouring in.
- galaxyLogic 7y agoThis may be the case with Eve-like games too. They may give you some idea of the cosmos but it may be misleading, involve improper shortcuts why because the PURPOSE is not to teach you something but entertain you. The purpose of GH is to make you think you can play like a real guitar hero, but based on your experience it seems like it doesn't really do that. GH COULD be better at teaching real guitar playing but I assume it is not better because it's purpose is not to teach but to get you addicted to the game.
