Rock Band. More Awesome.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

Harmonix are idiots.

Why would they want to sell the games to us, without the proper peripherals that allows us to play it (especially the drums)?

I, personally, bought the game only. Already had a Guitar from GH2, and didn't have the money for the bundle. I figured I can buy the Drums later seperately at about 80 and walk away close to breaking even. (60 game, 40 controller, 80 for drums) I guess they figured they might as well ship just the game so those that only want the game can have it instead of waiting for the release of the special bundle.


Also: Anyone who can get onto the Xbox Live Marketplace there's a special deal going on right now. 5 songs for 80MS a piece.

Move Along - The All American Rejects
Dirty Little Secret- The All American Rejects
Attck - 30 Seconds to Mars
The Kill - 30 Seconds to Mars
Song with a Mission - The Sounds

The ones I downloaded (Move Along, Dirty Little Secret, and The Kill) are fun enough to play but seem to be harder on the Drums. They're varied in the sections at least.

Got it wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Multiplayer is the best experience I've ever had in gaming. Bar none. Holy ****, hearing my dad wail to songs he didn't know while banging on drums I could hardly play while having my brother screw up horribly on guitar and yelling at each other the whole time was amazing.

Drums are currently kicking my ass in hard, I'm having trouble with the pedal by itself (where your foot presses but your arm doesn't). I can get my arms working fine but not one then the other.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

Got mine! Yeah!

How? Parents got it from Ebay. Luckily, everything works.

After playing this game for a few hours, the guitar felt really weird. Maybe either the fret buttons somewhat "stick" when pressed, or that the strum bar does not click anymore, which I have nothing against. But I still use it though.

Drums are really easy to play, if I didn't have to use the freakin' bass pedal! It just made the games that much harder, and it's hard to remeber to press all of the time. After I beat the guitar solo mode, I'll move on to drums.

I also tried the mic. First song I played, 100% easy on Paranoid. Fun, but I'll do that last.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

The biggest problem with the guitar I have with is the size of the buttons. I really dislike how the buttons are partially on the side, my knuckles have a tendency to press extra buttons when I slide (especially in powerchord sections). I guess it's something I'll just have to get used to.

I hate the whammy bar (it's curved up to give access to the 5-way switch but I'd rather have a small whammy, personally. My tilt sensor is inconsistent, too. But other than those minor problems everything is working fine for me.

Yeah, those are other problems I have as well. I hate the ridiculously huge whammy bar, and the solo buttons are pretty useless except for the ending jam.

I'm going to beat the rest of the solo guitar tour, then I'll start the drum tour in medium (that's the highest difficulty I can do).

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

I looooooooooooooove the solo buttons. When I don't **** up the transition lol

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

I just tap the solo buttons with my right hand. It takes some getting used to, but it's easier to move back down to the strum position for me.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

love this game. got it for xmas. . . but i'm guessing i was one of the unlucky ones to pull my drums out the box semi-busted. yup. my snare needed to be taped down cuz it wasnt catching multiple notes and even doubles for ****. once i taped it worked fine =] i think i need to tape the blue one as well.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

I set up for the solo buttons like FFR plus my ring finger on orange

I tried expert vocals today, and I was 4-starring songs I knew, so I guess that's alright. I really don't get the scoring system for the non-pitched sections, like on The Hand That Feeds I kept getting "strong" on every phrase at the end. It was kinda annoying lol

Wow that's a good idea hahaha

I need to make a video of my siblings (two brothers) singing the Black Sabbath song (name escapes me at the moment) while I'm on the mic.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

I never even bother with the solo buttons. Is it even worth using them?

[MalReynolds]

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

Ish. I don't really use them that much, and they have caused me to fail before. They are more fun, though, I think, then strumming.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

Finally beat the guitar solo mode. That last song was really fun, but I couldn't beat with the RB guitar, so I turned on my GH3 guitar controller, and easily beat it.

After my whole family that came over decided to play. I was lead guitar, godmother was singer, uncle was bass, and my sis was the drummer. Good times.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

I'm thinking about getting it if the Wii Mic-only bundle is $60 or less and if the GH3 guitar works on it.

I really want to play Green Grass and High Tides. I also only really care about the guitar, singing, and combination of guitar and singing modes. I want to try the drums but they charge so much money for them =/
