That doesn't explain throwing all the loved mechanics away. Imagine if CoD just becomes an strategy 3rd person game... Same shit. You don't just shit on your fans just because your previous games were bad. Remember the biggest criticism wasn't the game was the same, the biggest was the lack of polish plus not been an assassin in 4.
The strumming is a nightmare I agree, but even the simplest songs that only require 2 strings without wide strumming are impossible, accidentally muting the strings, not pressing enough, moving the fingers fast, using your pinky... Is such an impossible instrument
It is. Is literally what put us in this fucking land. And it's easier to say that if you at least had it.
