They aren't my thing, either, but I do like these multi-single weeks. There's a better chance of something interesting me.

Of course, I also like having multiple songs by artists I like. (And the discount.)

I guess I'm saying that I want it both ways. :)

Sure, but just because they are varied doesn't mean they're good. I need to give the Rise Against song a listen because I do enjoy some of their stuff in RB.

Mudvayne is a welcome addition to the library!

Will buy everything like normal but haven't been really excited over anything this year.

Just Rise Against for me...

More Rise Against! :up: So, that's 1 out of 3 for next week...better than it has been lately, at least.

Seem like a very good mix of challenging, attainable, and longevity.

WTF. 500 points? I thought the max was 400 now for XBLA. I guess they're including a DLC pack worth 100 like they did for RB3. Bizarre.

"DLC Week of 7/10 - Daughtry 3 Pack!
Hey gang,

Since their introduction to the music world six years ago, singer-songwriter Chris Daughtry and the eponymous rock outfit Daughtry have already made an indelible mark on music history. The band’s self-titled debut album has the honor of being the fastest selling rock debut in SoundScan history, they can point to four Grammy Award nominations, and they’ve scored four number one hits. Now, on July 10th, Daughtry makes their long-awaited debut in Rock Band!

“Daughtry Pack 01” opens with “It’s Not Over,” the first single from the band’s 2006 debut record, Daughtry. “No Surprise,” from 2009’s follow-up album, Leave This Town, is also included in the pack, with an optional Pro Guitar and Pro Bass upgrade also available. Finally, from 2011’s Break the Spell, the hard-edged “Crawling Back to You” closes out this rocking pack of hits!

Available on Xbox 360, Wii and PlayStation®3 system (July 10th, 2012):

• Daughtry – “It’s Not Over”
• Daughtry – “No Surprise” O X
• Daughtry – “Crawling Back to You” O

(These tracks will be available in Europe on PlayStation®3 system July 11th)

Tracks marked with “O” feature support for keyboards; tracks marked with “X” will offer Pro Guitar and Pro Bass expansions for $0.99 per song.

Price:

$5.49 USD, £2.49 UK, €3.99 EU (440 Microsoft Points™, 550 Wii Points™) for the “Daughtry Pack 01”
$1.99 USD (160 Microsoft Points ™, 200 Wii Points™) per song
$0.99 USD (80 Microsoft Points™, 100 Wii Points™) per song for eligible Pro Guitar/Pro Bass upgrade"

This has been kind of a long streak without much I've been interested in - other than Blitz.

Yeah, I check the thread every week but the last track I bought was Dream Theater's which was back in November.

UncleGramps 07-06-12 09:50 AM

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
Yeah, it's been pretty weak DLC for the last two months or so. Hopefully things pick up next month after Blitz comes out.

pinata242 07-06-12 05:43 PM

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
Disagree about "weak". Maybe safe? Definitely varied. I've bought a ton of single tracks, not to mention RBN.

I'll get off your lawns now, grandpas.

I think the only DLC song I've purchased in the past few months was that semi-awful "Fireflies" song that was so-helpfully "Suggested" to me while I scrolled through my song collection -- the kids saw that one listed and started begging to play it. Any way to turn off that feature?

Vasectomy going forward, not sure the legal options to correct your current situation though. Sorry. :(

Yeah this has been the worst stretch of DLC since the game started, no doubt. But on the plus side we should have the TAG initiative starting soon (fingers crossed) and Blitz looks to have a good soundtrack. Plus Brand New Key is coming from RBN this month.

Anyone know where I could get an Export code for the Country Track Pack #1? I have the disc, but I would definitely rather have these songs in my main game.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
TAG initiative? Something tells me I've had this explained to me once before.

UncleGramps 07-09-12 11:30 AM

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
TAG is that Kickstarter thing that was attempting to get more artists (and more recognizable artists) onto RBN.

Obviously the weak DLC thing is just an opinion, but I feel like there hasn't been anything really surprising/exciting/fun to play in quite a while.

I think the codes are written on the manuals. eBay might be your best bet for a slightly reduced price on a code.

Per the Harmonix Twitter account, they'll be announcing Blitz pricing and release date next week. :banana:

Nesbit 07-12-12 05:55 PM

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
Meh gotta be $20 and it's after the Summer of Arcade so late August or early September. I really hope they have some good DLC on the week it's released and for the month afterwards. Don't look forward to the Friday morning announcements like I used to.

Matt 07-12-12 07:05 PM

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
Even the first couple of weeks after SoA are starting to fill up so Imma go ahead and guess September 12.

pinata242 07-12-12 08:25 PM

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
$20 sounds likely, but I wouldn't be surprised if they found a way to hit $15. Either way, I'm all in.
