Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
Another thing slowing my HOPO progress down, is my penchant for chord-heavy punk songs. Not a lot of noodling in those. I did make some good gains on JoCo's "Betty and Me" last night on Hard cuz fuck Expert on that!

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
I do like RB2's challenge system better than RB3's goals. It seems like every time I bought DLC back then, the challenges would update, either adding to an existing one or opening up a brand new challenge. (RB2's tour mode was also superior, IMO.) Harmonix were probably focusing more on hacky sack when they were developing that component of the game. Grumble, grumble...
Speaking of goals, has anyone (here or elsewhere) maxed out the number of fans yet? Getting 1.3 million fans when completing a goal sounds huge, but it barely budges the meter. |

I'm sure Shag has. I'm about a quarter of the way to the star myself.

I'll probably get some goals next week once my Squier arrives, and then when I finally get around to drums and keys as well. I do wish the goals more closely mimicked the Tour Challenges from RB2. I would like to have a new challenge or two with each pack released, even if it was just "beat these songs", although I think they could get more robust like some of the goals now with "get a certain % on the solo" or "get an X note streak", etc. It seems like such a wasted effort if they don't really expand on it. I've only seen two new goals added, and that was the Bang Camaro and Main Drag ones when they patched it. Certainly they don't have to patch the game in order to add new goals. ..Or do they? hackysack grumble grumble |
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
I'm hoping when RB4 eventually comes out we'll get a synthesis of the RB2 touring style with RB3 genre selection options.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
The pro guitar looks to be a Gold Box deal on Amazon today, starting at 9pm PST.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
Hmm, yeah I guess everything that specifies is for the Wii or DS. I suppose if that's the trend, then the pro guitar will also be Wii only.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
2% now claimed.
00:02:01 remaining Isn't the Squier coming out in a week or two? I'm looking forward to that. I still haven't gotten a chance to try pro guitar/bass yet. |
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
According to @S1ckH4nds of RockGamer Studios, we'll be seeing RBN2.0 by lunch tomorrow!
Latest word on the #RBN 2.0 re-launch; tomorrow, before noon EST, barring any sudden act of God, subject to change, all rights reserved etc. |
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
Do we know what songs will be available at launch or is it literally just RBN 2.0 that'll be available tomorrow - like available for song creation, submission, etc.?

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
Damn, I thought they had been working on that stuff for a while. Like while all the RBN1.0 stuff was flushed through the system. Lame.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
You missed the second post in that.. Pro upgrades!
With the release of the Rock Band 3 Fender Squier Stratocaster Guitar Controller next week and with the Fender Mustang PRO-Guitar Controller already out in the world we thought Rock Band fans might like more Pro Guitar songs to master. On March 1st we’ll release Pro Guitar / Pro Bass Upgrades for a bunch of previously released tracks, some of the most popular in the RB library. Check out the list below: Available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii on March 1st * Blink 182 – “Dammit” * Boston – “More Than A Feeling” * Creedence Clearwater Revival – “Bad Moon Rising” * Creedence Clearwater Revival – “Fortunate Son (Original Version)” * Eve 6 – “Inside Out” * The James Gang – “Funk #49″ * The Knack – “My Sharona (Cover Version)” * Lynyrd Skynyrd – “Simple Man” * Metallica – “…And Justice for All” * The Offspring – “Self Esteem” * Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble – “Pride and Joy” These Pro Guitar / Pro Bass Upgrades will be available for $0.99 each. You must own the original DLC track in order to purchase and play the Pro Guitar / Pro Bass Upgrade. For more information about Pro Guitar and Pro Bass upgrades, visit our support section. Rock Band 3 Pro Mode requires Rock Band Pro-compatible instrument controllers. |
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
So are they free? Do we have to upgrade the original songs to RB3 versions and then Pro?

That really makes no sense, as I would think that it would be the same steps as if the song was in a pack, but I guess there's a difference. |
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
I'm probably in for any NIN ever released, but PHM is so dated it's ridiculous. IMO that album does not hold up sound wise compared to everything after. But hey...as I said, I will buy all NIN they put out.
Plus it'll be funny to sing like Trent crying about everything from 22 years ago a few days after he's won an Oscar. |
