You must not have that great of a memory, because Shinedown has previous DLC from a few years back.

I love this: |
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
While I'll pick up Second Chance, I'm not really a big fan of Shinedown.
This is one of those weeks I wish HMX would be more like they were in previous years...giving us a multi-pack of one artist as well as a handful of singles from others. Hopefully the TAG business will take off and 'll be able to get more music from those "mid-level" artists missing in the weekly RB DLC. (I wonder how those acts feel about being called that, btw?) |

In for Second Chance & The Crow and The Butterfly.
Avoiding Bully. That's one of the worst songs I've heard in a while. |

The Xplorer is probably worth a bit, as it was the only wired guitar ever released for 360.

Lots of the top "pros" still use the XPlorer. I'm not one of those, as I tend to like to rock out, rather than sit down and hit every note like an animatronic robot. |

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
Awesome.
I'm probably the only person here excited for these songs. :lol: Too bad only one of the songs is off Fallen. |

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
Couldn't care less about next week's DLC (will buy as normal) but really excited for the announcement on the 4th and the TAG initiative! Hoping the announcement on Wednesday is Rock Band 3.5 with
-25 to 35 song soundtrack of well known fun songs with one or two new artists -Fixes to all of the annoying things regular players have to deal with like reselecting most filter options each tme you play -A new story/tour mode (just bring back RB2's system if nothing else) -More clothing/mod options for the characters |

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
All-Instrument mode can suck it. Let 5 of us play at same time and keep score. That and a new story/campaign mode would be fun.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
Things I'd like them to fix..
3,000 song cap - I'm not there yet, but will be at some point. Bring back challenges - I loved RB2's way of dynamically creating new challenges whenever you got new DLC More clothing - The shirt I wore in RB1/2 was no longer there in 3. I was disappointed, as it's something I own in real life. All-instrument mode - Let us play 5 players online (also, show all 5 people on the screen) Better sorting/filters - Let me play a random song from the 4-star category, or random unplayed, for example Failing - In RB3, you fail super fast. Going back to the "old" scale, I could probably pass a handful of the super-difficult songs legit. I'm sure there's more, but that's what I got off the top of my head. |
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
Two other things I'd like.
-Keep our Rock Band 3 scores, ratings, and goals just build onto the shell of the game. I've started playing a lot more in the last 6 months and really want to put off replaying 50% of my songs just to get scores. -Have your top score (band and instrument) listed under the artist name and title track at the start of songs |
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
If they aren't going to keep RB3 scores, I wish they'd at least take the opportunity for scale the scoring based on difficulty. Keep 25 points per note for easy, but 50 for M, 75 for H, and 100 for X or something. Because I get tired of getting lower scores on X than people that played on H just because our performances were similar. Or even against myself when my H score beats my X score.
And bring back beginner difficulty! Why did that go away? |

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
Tomorrow night's X-Play is suppose to have the "exclusive" Harmonix announcement.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
It was just in Lego: Rock Band, I believe. It basically just took the easy or medium note chart and dumbed it down to beats. Every note just looked like a kick drum on the instruments and you could hit/strum anything and it counted. It was good for kids.

Some songs I love to sing, but hate the guitar charts, etc. |
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
I think there is about a 0% chance their announcement is going to be any kind of Rock Band sequel. Hopefully they will prove me wrong though.
