Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

I just hit 100 DLC last night (including the 20 free songs) with "Wolf Like Me." With RB1 and 2, I'm sitting at 239.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

302 songs for me, I hate looking at the list. I keep seeing songs I want to purchase, but forgot about.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Flight 666 is on VH1 Classic tomorrow night :)

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Great news I will set it to record. Somewhere Back in Time Live is on tonight at 9pm.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

341 songs for me. There's probably 5-10 that I would pick up if I had some extra points laying around, and Maiden will get me to 353.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

547 total songs here. Only 408 downloaded, though :(.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

I just download whatever comes out, someone at one of the parties is bound to want to play it. There are a few bands I'd skip, but to this point I've picked up all the songs.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

according to dlcquickplay (when I select 'songs i have') it shows 273 - so I guess that's how many I've downloaded.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

including Maiden, 264.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Anyone know if RB2 has been patched yet for compatibility with the wireless Lips microphones? I was at Target today and they had the Lips set for the 360 on clearance for $24.98.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Not yet. The patch is supposed to be coming this summer, but we really don't know when it'll hit.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Guess no one uses the FAQ. :(

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Sorry, Shagrath. It never even occured to me to check the FAQ. I promise I will not neglect the FAQ next time I have a question.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

I made a playlist of the songs from the Iron Maiden 12 pack on Last.FM if anyone is interested. There is a bunch of other metal at the end of the playlist, to satisfy Last.FM requirements.

Iron Maiden 12 Pack for Rock Band

I think you have to play the songs one by one or it will shuffle between the whole list. Enjoy.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

But what of the 50% of people not on Live? They are stand-alone titles to those 10 million(?) people.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Finally back from 2 weeks in Hawaii.... What great news i come home to, Coheed and Cambria DLC is already out, along with some nice Phish, and i get a 12pack of MAIDEN... WOW... Rock On!!!!

Pics?

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

I'll try to address this, although we will never see eye to eye. :)

Even though the track packs are completely playable as separate entities, they are (or were until very recently) made up completely of previously available material. They are also budget priced at $30. Even with the "exclusive" material in the Country Track Pack, Harmonix have already stated that those tracks will be available at a later time as DLC. This is the one of the biggest factors into why I do not view them as "milking" the franchise. They're completely optional, and if you like one or two songs, then you have the option of picking that up as DLC.

On the flipside, Activision put all of their stand-alone discs as just that, stand-alone discs. If I'm only interested in a couple songs on each disc, and I *must* play those songs, I have no option but to plunk down $60 for a full retail disc. I completely understand that GH hasn't been a band-only thing before World Tour, so that could be an issue as to why previous games (3 and Aerosmith) don't have the ability to export. But in a perfect world, they could just allow those songs on guitar/bass or guitar/rhythm, just as you can't play vocals on YYZ or Caprici in Rock Band. Also, Metallica didn't allow exporting (which could be a licensing issue, who knows).

Sure, they've said that GH5 is going to support GH:WT DLC. But what if there's a song I like from Band Hero? I gotta buy that disc as well. It's just not something that I agree with at all. Has Harmonix done everything right? Absolutely not. But I believe that as a developer, they've gone out of their way to give us a good experience, and a game that can be customized to an individual's taste (for the most part).

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

I don't disagree with you at all, I'm just saying to millions of people not online, there are just as many Rock Band titles on the shelf as GH.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

If someone isn't online, then they're obviously living in the past (or Amish).

As far as someone not having their console online. I again believe they are foolish. There's so much content available (some of it even free) that it's just ludicrous to think that anyone wouldn't take advantage of that.

I'm sure that there's a good chunk of 360 owners that don't have Live accounts because they don't know the difference between Silver and Gold. They see the cards at Wal-Mart and Best Buy and think that's the only way you can get online. MS can't really reach them very well to explain the difference because they're not on Live.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

I will still hold out for the charts, but I think I may only cherry-pick the Maiden pack tomorrow. I watched some concert on Palladia the other day, it wasn't Flight 666, but a slightly older one. And the songs didn't do much for me.

I think I will get NotB and RttH at least, possibly The Trooper. I may also wait for the Metal Track Pack to see what's included on it in case I get it and want to avoid duplication.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

I've slowly been going back through RB1's World Tour to complete the cities and unlock those achievements. Voxtaring what I can on M/E when I'm unsure of the songs (random), M/M when I have no choice (difficulty), or H/M when I know the song very well.

What a pain in the ass this is. Makes you really appreciate the improvements they made for RB2 with online World Tour.

I just did a mystery setlist that was:
Sex Type Thing (STP) - Nice
Give It To Me (The Cocktail Slippers, RB2 free 20 DLC) - I had never played this song before, didn't even recognize it when it came up, but I managed.
Promised Land (Vesuvius) - This song is so much fun to sing! I love it every time.

I wish there was someone local here that would play through it with me :(

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

The concert film that was on Palladia these past few days is the Somewhere Back in Time tour that the Flight 666 movie is based on. All four of the live tracks in the pack are the ones you saw.

It's funny, because I'm the opposite. The concert made me 10 times more excited for the live stuff, especially if they incorporate the crowds.

Green Day just announced live on the Kevin & Bean Show in LA 106.7 that they are working on a Rock Band: Green Day.
