Is it just me or is Guitar Hero getting easier?

[Pikaville]

Even since Guitar Hero 3 I feel they are making the game easier and easier.

Tracks in general seem a lot easier and some of the techniques they added have made solos FAAAAAAR easier.(For example those semi transparent notes that work like hammer-on's, except if you miss it doesn't matter)

Compare Through the Fire and Flames in GH3 to the one in Greatest Hits, it was nerfed hard.

To add weight to my belief, the other day my friend called me up because he was stuck on the final 3 songs in Guitar Hero 6(Megadeth ones)

He was like "Dude even you will probably have a hard time with these"

I proceed to breeze by them getting 3 4 star performances.

I just find it annoying that they are taking that challenge that made finishing a really tough song so satisfying to beat, out of the game.

Anyone else find this to be the case?

All that being said maybe I have just gotten a lot better *shrugs*

I would say this is the case with games in general, but it's really obvious with competitive games. Some would say that this has to do with being appealing to the mainstream audience. Compare Halo 2 to Halo 3, Melee to Brawl, Guilty Gear to BlazBlue, etc.

On competitive games yes, but not all games. SMG2 was pretty dern hard

After Through the Fire and Flames, how much harder can you really get?

TTFAF wasn't really that hard, especially when you compare it to Jordan from 2.

LM, I completely agree with you. They started to make the game a LOT easier in 4, and the series has been declining ever since.

I'm mainly a Rock Band player now. Songs like Caprici Di Diablo make me feel like a total newb again, and that's a good thing.
