Buy A Modded Guitar Hero Controller To Cheat At Fake Rocking

@NurseDave: Credit card airline points i. e. miles.

quayzar

Why buy the game at all.. just watch Youtube videos of other people getting it

Mr.Gawn

@soulfinger:

cheat codes in some games are cool... the previously mentioned sim city and GTA are good examples.

my brother used to do "cheat code speed runs" in quake 1.

like quake done quick, minus the skill.

endless

@sixister:

WTF is Jason talking about? Pretend? The whole point is to CHEAT at the game. Not to pretend anything.

There are plenty of songs I can't play for shit on hard yet alone expert. Bring it on for rockband!!!

ISOHaven

@MyNameIsTooAwesome: Not around this crowd.

NurseDave

@sixister: Helloooo, how do you gets points for that?

NurseDave

@chanceman93: listen?

psychiccheese

@p0op:

iTunes?

@32ndnote: a meme a day keeps teh interwebs super ghey!

@nbolmer: You know what else is stupid? Spending money to pretend to play in a rock band!

Oh wait, no, that's not stupid. It's fun. Whoops.

@Zordon: Every single Gizmodo and Kotaku post about Rock Band/Guitar Hero has had at least one of those equally inane "Just play a real instrument" dolts that has turned into a 30-comment lambasting of the guy that has nothing to do with the post itself.

Here's to trying to cut that off at the head.

@soulfinger: In all fairness, even without cheats, in video games you still aren't winning anything. So, yeah, cheats can be fun, and to me they're mostly a way to get off from the game I don't really enjoy, just really want to get over with for some reason.

@The Springfield Armor Street Team Intern: I thought video games were reality.

@Zordon: haha. no it didn't *shifty eyes*

@collegekid13: Cheating in SimCity really did make it more like "real life" city management, sadly.

Zordon

@The Springfield Armor Street Team Intern: Thank god you told us this. All this time I was wondering why my brother's cap gun wasn't a REAL gun but your explanation was so useful and not like anything that hasn't been beaten to death years ago.

Zordon

Mmm...Guitar Hero. I've always wanted to play that game.

@jeembomb: I loved cheating in the Sims or SimCity. It made it more like a game and less like a sim. But I hate people who cheat on multiplayers. It ruins the game

collegekid13

@sixister:
....buy?

p0op

wow... this should get me interested in opening my very own air guitar store. apparently there's a whole market waiting to be fed!

josecardozo

@Maximillian:
Yeah, that'd be ... cool. Because spending money for a higher number on your screen is FUN.

except that NO, it's really, really stupid. Really.

@soulfinger:

Cheating in single player games is dumb but at least it doesn't really affect anyone.

Cheating in multiplayer games = you're a true fucking douchebag.

jeembomb

@uRbAnlP: That sums it up nicely.

Cheating for single player games to have some fun: totally worth it sometimes. (hell, cheats in Super Mario 64 to use the metal cap on all levels can lead to hours of entertainment)

Cheating in multiplayer games to try to be a badass to your friends: makes you look like an asshole.

This just seems...so dumb to me. For one, I can't believe this is the best solution the guy could come up with. Secondly, why would anyone want this? It makes me think of the episode of Family Guy where the salesman tries to sell Peter a coloring book that's already been finished.

Neat concept, but c'mon people. What's the point in playing if you're not going to actually, you know, play?

It doesn't matter if you play on expert or easy, as long as you're enjoying yourself. Screw all the high score tards.

@David Cowden: that was supposed to be a reply to Valnen

David Cowden

not possible.. sorry. but I agree even though I don't play the game. It's the same as rapid fire button mods and marco controllers. for the weak of heart who aren't good enough to actually repeat a button combo every time.

David Cowden

@Maximillian:

In that case, I need something that sings.

@SinisterBill and Jalad at Tanagra: did you just quote the article and then say awesome?
awesome!

@32ndnote: OVER 9000????

TurboTexas

@soulfinger:

It was always fun for me to be able to use the Mine Mini-cart on all Donkey Kong Country levels.

But then again, if you take this to multiplayer level then it becomes stupid.

uRbAnlP

This pisses me off because it could enable people to cheat the leaderboards. I admit I'm not good enough to be anywhere near the top, but that's something that should be EARNED. This is just bullshit.

I hope Xbox Live can somehow detect this and perma ban consoles for it.

if this was something I could do on my own controller I might consider it to unlock all the freaking songs. :P

Turael

Couldn't this just be done for kicks and the, guess what! I can do it! moment of happiness?

@fnc: Amy after playing Virtual Virtual Skeetball

@soulfinger: Or you could cheat at GTA and get a cool flying car, super human jumping skills, infinite money and expand upon the games playability.

Also I have always found hax verses servers on l4d quite fun for both infected and survivor.

reluttr

@njso18: Agreed, I wonder how much time went into building that.

@MDevonB: Using codes to unlock levels is one thing. Gaining an advantage over an opponent by game mods or other hacks is just stupid.

soulfinger

"Wow, it's almost like playing Virtual Skeeball!"

fnc

I wouldn't want to use this but i'd like to know how the mod was built and the technology behind it, that part seems interesting to me.

njso18

@soulfinger: Or you're 10 and want to unlock the cool level in Tony Hawk with the aliens but you and your friends all suck at the game?

Or to see if you can beat Super Mario 64 in 16 minutes?

You only care about the storyline?

But yeah, for the most part, cheating is stupid.

MDevonB

@spannu: You can have a new goal of getting...

OVER 9000!!!!

Well, since you put it that way...

I've never understood the idea of cheating at video games. You aren't WINNING anything. You're just proving what how insecure you are and what a tiny ween you have.

soulfinger

@SinisterBill and Jalad at Tanagra: Getting to 800 was my whole reason for living in the first place :(

spannu

Pre-emptive: Because video games are designed to be escapes from reality, and the accessibility of a video game is not comparable to learning an instrument. Just because they're shaped the same as legit instruments doesn't mean anyone think they are anything more than a game.

Actually, this would be cool for those of us with only 3 players. Buy this and get 4 player scores.

"If pretending to rock is so hard that you have to pretend to pretend to rock, you should just go and eat your way up to 800 pounds and give up on life."

Awesome!

SinisterBill

OOOOOR, just buy the song on iTunes and listen to it to do pretty much the exact same thing.
