According to RBA, Stan Bush's "The Touch" is up for testing on RBN. Can't wait! I remember how creepy I felt firing up GH:WT again just to play it when they released it for free there.

The gun-metal Fender Telecaster sounds sexy. I think as much as I play guitar in music games I should treat myself to a new one.

Sort by Date Acquired.

I think I've been asking for this for at least two years.

Star rating, difficulty and percentage all right there. That's pretty sexy.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

Something I'd like to see -- unrelated to scoring. I wish you could link your guitar/drum part to a specific harmony part, and it would give you a visual cue on your chart when you are supposed to be singing.

The score is there somewhere. There's probably a toggle. This screen is hot.

Score is probably to the right of the percentage.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

Sort by Date Acquired, Play Count, and Leaderboard Rank are all pretty awesome. Also being able to delete DLC directly from the music library will be nice, even if seldom used, as long as its faster than deleting RBN demos in RB2.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

I'm a huge fan of being able to see track length too.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

They have
Sort by Leaderboard Rank. This sorts the songs by your leaderboard rank on each song's respective leaderboard, so you can see the songs on which you're globally competitive.
Why would there not be score displayed?

If you're asking to sort by score, that seems pointless since every song is different in content.

+1,000,000

I really would like a progress bar during a song, but that's just me.

I have Caller ID.

Also, yeah, I'm an idiot for wanting a feature GH implemented first. Like, I don't know, unpause countdown?
