I Need Bourbon. All of it.
For the past three months I’ve been trying to decide between getting Guitar Hero: World Tour and Rock Band. Both EA and Activision are making this a stupidly hard and frustrating progress.
I decided early on that I’ll get Rock Band. After all, Guitar Hero 3 sucked so it’s a no brainer.
But wait! After months and months and months Rock Band still isn’t on Australian shores and Rock Band 2 is on the way. This sucks. I’ll get Guitar Hero: World Tour.
But wait! Rock Band is the better moral choice, right?. The real creators of the game have gone onto their own thing, so it’s best to support the ‘real’ game, right? And Activision are treating the GH franchise like a hot step daughter, giving it to any developer with five bucks and a case of beer.
But wait! Rock Band is rumored to cost roughly equivalent to a house mortgage. I’m married, I’m not made of money! Guitar Hero: World Tour becomes the better choice again.
But Wait! Rock Band just signed a deal with the Beatles. The Beatles! How can you say no to The Beatles! Rock Band is the clear candidate.
But Wait! You can’t get just the Guitar + Game pack for Rock Band, and I don’t have room (or inclination) for a drum kit, so Guitar Hero: World Tour becomes the best choice again!
But Wait! Rock Band suddenly becomes a lot cheaper than we originally thought! Rock Band wins!
But Wait! People all over the world are complaining about the quality of the Rock Band instruments. Time to get Guitar Hero: World Tour!
But wait! The single player experience in Guitar Hero: World Tour isn’t as polished as Rock Band’s. I should get Rock Band.
But wait! One of my favourite songs is on Guitar Hero: World Tour. Maybe I should get….AAAAAGH MY HEAD IS CAVING IN, I CAN’T TAKE THE PRESSURE ANY MORE MAKE IT STOP
