Nov. 29th, 2007 04:47 pmIt's time for more of my Guitar Zero Hero ramblings!
I played GH2 for a little while the other day, and managed to get my score above 40,000 on Cheap Trick's "Surrender" and close to 30,000 (maybe higher) on Kiss' "Strutter". I'm quite proud of myself for that one. Maybe some day, I'll actually get past 3 stars!
Also, Kellie and I had noticed on GH3 that when you successfully complete a song, you get the whole "Congratulations - you've earned X Amount!", followed up with: "Go buy yourself something pretty." Kellie and I thought it was just something that occurred because we were playing female characters and commented that it was probably a female character-only thing. So, unless it happened with a badass mofo like Lars Umlaut (a guitar-playing Lucha Libre), it was quite sexist.
Well, the other day, I played as Lars, and got the "Go buy yourself something pretty" message. O_o I don't know ... maybe it's because I was still playing under my GH name, Carlita.
I'll set up a male name and character, to see if that damn message still comes up. Better yet, any guys that are playing GH, have you seen that message? Or do you get something more "masculine" like, "go buy some coke and whores"?
Seriously. I know that a good majority of the gamers are guys - but the ladies are getting into the games as well. Not all of us are spending hours on end playing World of Warcraft or Halo 3, but we *are* playing Guitar Hero, Rock Band and many other games. So we're out there dammit - give us a shred of respect already!
