Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

PS folk:

RB.com issue #1: PS3 export. Top priority for WebTeam, but they're drifting off to sleep. Should be fixed tomorrow. Sorry for the confusion.
Every folk:

RB.com issue #2: Account linking should hopefully be up and running tomorrow. You can grab your 6 GS achievements then!

Site is back up! The ability to link your game to your site profile isn't up and running yet.

I'm loving this game. Though keyboards are whoopin' my ass.

It seems we only get screwed once with exports. Lego RB still has all of its' songs available (as far as I could see) and RB1 is still missing those few. Each time there's an export with missing tracks people claim that we might get the missing songs back later, but unless I'm forgetting something that hasn't happened yet.

Keys are fun. I haven't tried to venture past pro medium yet, but that seems like a good starting point. I haven't tried any songs past 3 star difficulty, though.

FYI, they're done for the night.

Okay. Okay. Time to go home. Will jump right back into support tomorrow. Thanks to all for your patience and kind words during #RB3 launch!

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

Had to call every local store to find a Keyboard but lucked out with someone cancelling a preorder - the bundles are pretty much non-existant in Canada right now, so I was lucky to get the stand alone game and keyboard. Love it so far. I'm doing alright on pro keys easy but got DECIMATED when I tried to step it up to medium - will have to practice!

Gamestop had no clue about the code for the bonus songs and my receipt has fuck all written on it. Really wanted Blue Monday and Burning Down the House

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

My EBGames said that the 3 song preorder bonus was delayed, and they would give me a call once they had the codes.

Oh, and I logged into RB.com with my old ID, and clicked on the login with facebook button, and got this:

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

You guys must have the worst Gamestop's in the country. No wonder everyone hates us. Seriously, how the hell can they not know there is a code for songs to give you guys. We give codes out for practically EVERY game released now. They are most definitely not delayed as I was giving them out all day, I even used mine 2 days ago and it worked fine.

Played for a bit tonight and a TON of my DLC wasn't listed. None of the Rush I have nor any of the Megadeth was there to play. What the hell, man?

Hmmm, I don't have much DLC, but all of my Moving Pictures songs showed up automatically (along with the Rock Band 1 version of Tom Sawyer).

Yeah, I checked and all the Rush songs are showing up for me. I know I've seen at least some Megadeth in my random set lists.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

So after starting with a quickplay of Bohemian Rhapsody, Def Leppard, Whitesnake and the Beach Boys I started my foray into the tour challenges last night. I know Harmonix is all about the indie bands but good gawd they are fucking boring to play on guitar. I think I gave 1 lighter to the first 5 out of 6 songs I played. Ugh. What a way to start the career mode.

Is there not a way to rate songs from the song completion screen? It's a PITA to back out of the menus back to quickplay just to rate them.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

you can rate after you finish each song. Square on PS3, which is the 9oclock button.

Yes. It's on the left side of the completion screen.

I agree, it seems like most of the indie songs are boring as shit on all instruments.

I know on guitar/bass on the 360 it's on the first screen after you finish the song. You hit the blue button to cycle through ratings. I've been doing it for every song so far...

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

I hate doing character creation when people are in the room.

"What are you doing? That doesn't look anything like you."
"I know, I'm trying to make my character from the first two games."
"Why? Who cares?"
"I care."
"Your lips don't look like that. Fix them."
"I'm not to the lips yet, and I'm not trying to make me."
"Those lips are seriously distracting... ooo, put make up on!"
"No, I'm not putting make up on."
"This doesn't look anything like you."

On what insrument? I need to get better!

I'm sure I'll be top 5 on Total Scores mode no problem, even if I do suck. Logging 1600+ scores on all instruments will do that.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

I'm glad they didn't reset the leaderboards. All that's gonna do is piss off the hardcore fans that went out of their way to find the game early. Regardless, my leadboard scores are going to drop like rocks now that everyone has it.

I love this implication that the rest of us aren't hardcore. How exactly did you go out of your way to find it early? Was it more than just pre-order everywhere or was there some kind of hardcore effort to entice a retailer to ship early?
