Because you're obsessed with it... Hence my original question. "Why are people obsessed with Guitar Hero?" As a rhythm game its pretty much like every other rhythm game. The only thing it offers that other games don't (aside from Rock Band) is the controller.
Saying its fun because you have to play the game over and over again to
learn leads me to assume someone like you would have the motivation to just learn how to play a real guitar instead. Why you don't, or think its "better" to play Guitar Hero is beyond me. And saying its more "fun", but also saying you need to practice, makes me ask the same question: "Why not just play a real guitar?"
Quote: "You're saying driving games are not like driving while I can assure you that with a wheel and pedals some driving games are definitely quite realistic - even closer to truth than Guitar Hero is to a real guitar. And they're so hard they're not fun anymore. Should we all stop playing such racing games and go invest time in learning to drive in real life instead?"
No, they're not. For one, you can die from driving a car, or can kill someone else. Two, even with the best wheel and pedal set they still do not offer simulated car motion. Doing a 180 on a video game is nothing like doing a 180 in a real car. Three, as far as I know there is no such thing as a clutch controller, the only real life ability games offer is driving automatic cars. Manual transmissions in video games are completely fake. And if you were to race a real car, it will most undoubtly be a manual transmission. Besides that, there is an age limit to who is allowed to actually operate vehicles. So no, I would not advise people who like racing games to just go out and start racing real cars, as quickly as I would tell someone who likes Guitar Hero to learn how to play a real guitar.
But you're right, the Guitar Hero controller is not much like a real guitar, but the concept is there in its simplest form. 1 string, 5 frets. If you can press down one of those buttons you can press down any string on any fret on a real guitar. If you "strum" the string pickup, or whatever they want to call it, you can strum any string on a real guitar. The point was, if you can hold a Guitar Hero controller, you can use a real guitar.
