Hi, I've been doing some research and looking into the Land of Plastic Guitars and Video Games You Play Them With. I've been poking around on this subreddit and appreciate all the content and posts everyone has made.
I am a Millennial dad of a teenager and he got me into Fortnite, and we both enjoy playing in Festival via controller. Well, I found out that you can purchase and use a guitar controller in Festival, and I am thinking of investing in a CKRD Gibson controller.
Due to the fact that I am a Millennial, I also have fond memories of playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band on my PS2 and Wii back in the day (prior to children, of course). Fortnite does sort of scratch that itch with Festival... but in my research and stumbling into this community I have found that I could still play Rock Band 4!
The thought of this is both interesting and very tempting to me. It's one of those things where, you wish you hadn't gotten rid of stuff, but it made sense at the time, ya know? The kids are now older and I can put thought and effort into my gaming time.
BUT, the de-listing and stuff has me a little cautious. I am aware of the fact that I will have to purchase the game via digital code not on the Xbox store. I know that I will have to do the work to search for content packs and songs etc. etc.
But as an old fan of this stuff, who loves to just sit and play and hang with family or friends (not necessarily doing online things, in Festival I play solo with no fill lol) and would be mainly just cycling through the various songs, and this being the era of "I'm old and this is what I like to do in video games," I wonder if I will get my money's worth.
So folks, do you think it will be worth it?
