I would rather play a real guitar. Whenever I see someone playing guitar hero, I say to myself 'Man, thats pathetic'.
Hardcore gaming = religious extremism
Same shit, different assholes
Whilst you are free to have your own opinion about GH, you need to bear in mind that
a) there are people who no matter how hard they practice will never really be good at music, like myself. My hands are too small to be effective at fretting large ranges quickly (oddly enough, I play a lot of prog rock on my bass...) and my wrists cramp up easily, despite years of constant playing.
b) The vast majority of people are sane enough to realise that guitar hero != real guitar
c) It's just a bit of fun. That's like saying "Real racing > gran turismo. Whenever I see someone playing gran turismo, I say to myself 'Man, thats pathetic'." Sure, you can take your car down to a track for a track day and have a great laugh, but it doesn't stop the game being fun.
Also, your "hardcore gaming = religious extremism"... wow, where do I start on how wrong you are there?
