Red Octane bitch slapping Harmonix
Barcode \| 10:05 PM on 12.06.2007	11 comments

Apparently Red Octane (Guitar Hero 3) is talking smack about Harmonix (Rock Band).

As quoted from Octane's Charles Huang:

I don't think we're too interested in having their guitars work on our game, because they're having a lot of issues with their guitars. From our standpoint, to be quite honest, if you know a competitor's product has issues, there's not a whole lot of motivation to make these problematic controllers work with your game. Why would you want to cause yourself the headache?

Ever since I got my replacement Fender I can't stop using it. I absolutely love it now. Which is strange.

Dammit, I just bought GH3 too. Sad to see them acting like that.

"Why would you want to cause yourself the headache?"

Dear Mr.Huang,

I'd like to take a moment to introduce to you the precise reason why you have millions of dollars. You may collectively refer to us as "the customer." That's why you would want to cause yourself the headache you pompous fuck.

The Les Paul sucks balls mainly because it's wireless and laggy as hell for some people, including myself. Even though it takes a while to get used to, I prefer the Strat, although the frets do screw me up every once in a while.

Oh yeah, they have every right to complain about defective guitars, I mean, their guitars are perfect and there hasn't been any complains... ever!!

I hate to say it but the GHIII controller is solid as a rock.

Though it is annoying that all the guitars don't work with all the games.
