Re: Rock Band Thread - This thread was made for Rockin, and that's just what it'll do
Well that sucks. Seeing as how I'm more interested in Insomniac and Nimrod than in the albums they chose to include, so I was holding out hope for DLC. The very reason I don't like their album choices for the game is the very reason why they chose them: they're concept albums (the last two, anyway), and I sure as heck don't want to sit there and play through a whole album in one sitting. I'm sure some others might, but to me, the appeal of the bulk of Green Day's body of work is that they wrote great bite-sized pop nuggets. And Insomniac and Nimrod are chock full of those.

Yeah, there's nothing there that says there won't be any more GD DLC, just that there won't be any for GD:RB proper. They could keep releasing track packs of the remaining GD songs for RB/2/3--which is probably where a lot of (if not most) people will eventually be playing all the GD stuff, anyway.
I know for me, if it's a song I like, I could give a crap about who the avatar playing it is or if it matches up with whatever else is going on in the background--I just wanna play the song. |

I think it hurts the chances of any future GD DLC significantly. I won't be expecting anything else.

I'll get GD:RB when it hits $19.99, and I think that will be within 3 mos. of release.

Seeing that The Beatles released their entire catalog in the amount of time that elapsed between American Idiot and 20th Century Breakdown, I wouldn't have been holding my breath for new Green Day stuff anyways.

Yeah, I hate when I have the urge to play Vital Signs then realize I have to play 35 minutes filler before getting to it. What a PIA.

Who's forcing you to "sit there and play through a whole album in one sitting"? Just play the songs you want, concept album or not. Big fucking deal.

Rumored achievement list for GD:RB: http://rockbandaide.com/green-day-ro...-leaked-rumor/
Seem legit to me and pretty reasonable. |
Re: Rock Band Thread - This thread was made for Rockin, and that's just what it'll do
Not news, but I've been listening to Kevin Pollak's Chat Show podcast and caught one with Weird Al. The question about Rock Band inclusion came up and he said he hasn't been approached*. :sad: He equated it to being on Letterman in that you don't call Letterman and ask to be on the show, you wait until they approach you.
Disappointing, but I thought it was an interesting comparison. You would think the artists/managers seek out Rock Band at this point. *interview was on 10/30/09, long before RBN. |
Re: Rock Band Thread - This thread was made for Rockin, and that's just what it'll do
It is disappointing. You know, I'm not ashamed to admit that I would buy a full Weird Al title. The recreations of his live show would be epic and quite varied since each direct-parody and style-parody has a unique outfit and far more interesting that Green Day's choreographed digital pyrotechnics. Speaking of which, I can't wait to see Al in July again! :banana:

Re: Rock Band Thread - This thread was made for Rockin, and that's just what it'll do
I agree it is also disappointing. The truth is I would probably buy a full Weird Al RB game as well if done properly. I already annoy my wife by singing over certain songs with Weird Al lyrics....I might as well do it for points and achievements :)

Damn Harmonix and their announcing ways. It doesn't look like Pearl Jam:Live or Snoop Dogg is coming anytime soon.

Re: Rock Band Thread - This thread was made for Rockin, and that's just what it'll do
I don't even want to think about the acts I would perform in order to get a dedicated Rock Band: Muse. Fuck...I'd probably even do most of it for a 3 pack! :cool:
