I don't think RB3's list is too bad. At least it's no Guitar hero where typically there are 1 or 2 songs that are good. The only good thing on world tour imo was the tool set, just about everything else is crap. It's like they use a dartboard to pick the songs for the guitar hero franchise.

There are a few songs on RB3 that I had never heard before that I actually bought on amazon after hearing them in game.

VG247 has reported next week's DLC:

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Awesome. Thank goodness for DLC.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Huh, that's weird...

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Maybe it's my fandom talking, but I think holding Piano Man back for DLC was a HUGE mistake.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Please don't post these elsewhere.. These are probably only for the October

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Chuck can't, but I Facebook'd and Tweetered these numbers.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

I saw that but couldn't tell if that was a joke directed at Pinata, speculation, or what.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

flashburn and Shagrath are people that know people. You believe them when it comes to Rock Band.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Wait, I don't see Ks after those disc only figures...

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

That's right.. Under 3K total across ALL SKUs.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Nah, I was just utilizing my psychic abilities.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

So basically they would've made more money selling those GH/RB guitars they "threw in the volcano" to Gamestop over even making the actual game?

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

I would have LOVED to have heard the pitch meeting that sold Kid Rock and Eric effing Clapton on that shit.

Well, Clapton anyway. Kid Rock was probably at Waffle House and knocked out one of the developers and this was a condition of his sentence.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

I'm probably in the minority, but I love the RB3 setlist with the exception of ~10 songs that I really fucking hate (I'm looking at you, HIM) and maybe another 15 that I only "like." Otherwise, the songs are either fun to play or songs that I really enjoy, if not both.

As for the supposed death of the genre, I think oversaturation is largely to blame, but I'm honestly surprised these games ever reached such high levels of success in the first place. It always struck me as such a niche product among gamers, so to see it in the homes of family/friends who are otherwise not gamers has always surprised me.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

While I haven't played the entire RB3 setlist - it's been a blast except for that fucking HIM song (as ObeseAnthony mentioned)

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

I don't mind the HIM song. :shrug:

I'm not a big fan of it, but I don't find it particularly bothersome either.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

:up: As I said last time the HIM bitchfest occurred, I expected something very terrible based on some memory or assumption about that band.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

The HIM song is ok, not at all what I had expected. I gave it 2 lighters.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Agreed! :up:

Oh, you guys!

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

I like the "Wings of a Butterfly" song that was released as DLC.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Are those numbers including the 2 copies raffled off at the wrap party in lieu of copies for everyone? :)

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

At the impromptu RB party that I posted about several pages ago, two of the (non-gaming) people sincerely referred to it as "Guitar Band". :lol: but also :(

And add me to the list of people that weren't blown away by the RB3 tracklist.
