Activision destroys a beloved franchise 2: the electric boogaloo.
TL: DR
P2W lobbies, constant freezing/stuttering/crashing, basic problems not being fixed.
I did originally recommend this game because yes, it had a bumpy start and frankly a lot of basic features either didn't work or hadn't been implemented yet, but it was a lot of fun, especially with friends, and although the lack of prestige system annoyed me, the gun progression and camo challenges made me keep booting it up every day.
but after spending a bit of time in the game I can not recommend this to anyone. New or old fans. Especially old.
From the purchase-based lobbies to the constant non-stop freezing/stutter, this game is a mess, there are still constant little stupid things like menus and shaders breaking, not having a cursor and having to alt-f4, challenges/titles/emblems/camos not getting progress or not unlocking when supposed too, even getting kicked out the customise menu when trying to edit your showcase, which was in the game since the beta, and still here. actually, all these problems showed up in the beta and yet?
Now, everyone has different experiences, some people might have never seen any of these issues - I personally have never had a challenge not progress but know and have seen multi examples - and no it's not my pc, I've seen that finger be pointed a lot, and it's pretty pathetic.
Another random problem I’ve been getting is the game randomly putting me on american servers - I stay in scotland - in the middle of the day with 200 ping and simply just have to wait and see if it resolves itself.
Updates for bug fixes and new content really is spars and the only content we are getting is the stupidly overpriced gun blueprints and cosmetics.
I’m extremely disappointed in how this game has turned out and trying to enjoy it is an uphill battle, I will still struggle through the game to get the mastery camos but I can not recommend this mess to anyone.
To anyone who played the original, stay clear, it’s painful watching Activision do what they did to Guitar Hero, to Call of Duty.
And to whom it may concern, that went out of their way, to destroy the only way to play classic cods without exposing yourself to being hacked, the fan-made game that made people able to relive their childhood cods like me, rank up and prestige again in the classic games, and experience some of the greatest FPS goodness that was the 3 Modern Warfares without having their data, computers and accounts compromised...
F*ck You.

2015
Pre-ordered and played a sh#t-ton when it came out, the new format was fine, the story/setlist was okay, okay songs but nothing impressive, difficult or interesting. The reactive crowd was a cool feature and well made, I enjoyed the way they marketed the "bouncing off bandmates" thing.
My main complaint was with the awfully advertised, horrifically monetised and 0 "grind" ability TV mode.
Coming from the height of GH3 and the customs community, the game was a fun refreshing, new challenging take on the format we already loved, with really interesting charts and new patterns to learn, it really had some potential, but you couldn't sit and just play what you wanted.
The TV stations is a brilliant idea don't get me wrong, and a ton of fun, just jamming along with what ever came on while competing with people around the world - even thou the leaderboards were broken - but it should of been its own gamemode. Having to pay real money just to keep replaying the songs you wanted was a terrible idea and was bond to fail from the get-go. Imagine you're trying to FC a difficult song and having to cough up money everytime you wanna play it, and come to think of it, I don't even think there was a practice mode...
We are past the days of standing in the arcade, paying £2 a go to try get the highest score in "Cult of Personality".
If activision over saturating the market by releasing 15 f#cking entries in the span of 3 years wasn't shooting them in the foot enough, making replayability a premium feature definitely done it for me.
The leaderboards did have problems with super overpowered pay-to-win powerups and perks but I wasn't personally effected by that, and I think the game being unbalanced was the least of it's issues.
And look where it got it, half the bands pulled out of their contract to supply stems and music videos for the game to use not even a quarter into it, and the severs got shut down just 3 years after release.
To conclude, the story mode is fine but you could play the whole game in a afternoon, a shame because the controller is fun to relearn. No Practise mode. No Grinding or Replayability without premium currency. Just a overall downgrade in every department to any other game in the series. To think "Warriors of Rock" came before this mess is depressing.
Only thing I can recommend doing is pick a pack of it up for pennies and play customs on PC with the guitar.
