Platinum = Unfair

[ZunePod]

The Platinum should be awarded for Guitar things, not the drums etc.

Just my thoughts.

I agree, but only because I'm good at the guitar, don't own any of the other instruments and don't have anyone IRL to play alongside with (meaning none of my friends play GH, not that I don't have any friends :P)

But seeing as though it's a full band game, its probably to be expected.

I've never played a Guitar Hero game, but i kinda agree. It is called "GUITAR" Hero after all.

But to keep up with the competition of Rock Band they changed it to what is now should be called "Band Hero" O wait they are already making a game with that title.

Yeah I noticed that, I think they should split up the trophies somehow, like a plat for guitar and a plat for drums.

nono thats just you being stuburn/impatient ETC

Why would they have trophies for just guitar and leave every other instrument out?

For people that payed £70 for a guitar, and not £150 for the drums.

The platinums aren't meant to be just little things to say "I'm good at a certain part of this game." They're meant to say "I am amazing at all facets of this game." If it was just for guitar then that wouldn't be true, you could be good at guitar but not good at the other instruments or as a band. While I do agree that the platinum isn't one that you'll get easily and it may be unfair that you have to put so much money and time and effort into it that still doesn't change what the platinum is a statement of and you shouldn't complain about the game because of it.

I agree, if the platinum were dumbed down, we'd end up with situations like Terminator Salvation where people just play it to get platinum trophies. At least if anyone gets a platinum in this game, they thoroughly deserve it... don't forget that the hardest song (Through the Fire and Flames) is probably hardest on guitar. I did that song on expert vocals and expert bass first time without practice, so a platinum for getting it wouldn't really prove that I pwn the game.

I'm thoroughly impressed at anyone who can play on the expert levels of this game i can barely even play on hard lol. I guess I'm just a casual music gamer playing for fun on medium
