Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
BTW, Shag, I really liked the concept of last week's challenge. My guitar skills are not the best, so multi-instrument challenges really appeal to me. I understand that a lot of people only play guitar, so I don't expect every challenge to be that way, but it's a nice change of pace.

In the future, Shag can you post each players difficulty levels. Just so I can feel good about myself coming in around the bottom of these challenges.

Looks like Harmonix is finally getting why they keep losing to GH - DLC is not what people want, they want a disc in their hand.
I can't explain the phenomenon, but the sales support it.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
But what HMX gets that GH doesn't is that people want a common library too. These discs aren't for people to have a disc. They're for people to get DLC that have no internet connection and/or method to buy their respective system's points.
These disc songs are not exclusive to the disc and available to everyone anyway. With the exception of AC/DC, but even that can be added to the main library and the disc discarded or resold quickly.

If Activision releases their six GH titles this year like they plan to, I can almost guarantee they're going to end up shooting themselves in the foot by tiring their userbase and cannibalizing their own sales.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
I'm a teetotaler.
I don't know how much time I'll have outside of the conference anyways. Last year, I remember getting up at like 7am for the conference and getting back to the hotel till 9-10pm. This is probably going to be my last time going for a while, so I'm going to try to hit some parties and do some more networking as well.
If you're already in the downtown area, maybe we could grab a bite to eat or something though.

I probably won't be in the downtown area but I would be willing to come up there. When/where is the HMX party, any idea?

I've got no idea yet. It will possibly be on Thursday, since that is "Suite Night". I found out there's going to be like 40+ HXM'ers out there, so I've got a good shot of running into someone and getting an invite.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
It's weird, if we are talking about movies or CD's, I totally agree with this. I'll take a disc over a download any day always. When we're talking about video games, I don't mind so much and definitely prefer just downloading new songs instead of buying a new physical release...weird huh?
