is there some loving convoluted secret to get the Store to work? no matter what I click to purchase it comes up with the same message, problem completing your purchase. I even tried buying something right out of the PSN store and nothing happens. What the gently caress, how is this game so loving bad.

Every time I keep holding off a few more months on getting it, I seem to luck out. Weird!

(But I do still hope it gets where to where I will, which is why I keep following DLC.)

Can't you just create a fake foreign account and goddamn even as I was typing this I realised that means the sole point of owning RB4 is pointless if you can't use all your legacy content.

There are a couple songs I have to chart for different people or I literally don't get into PAX, so I guess it's a pack.

Yeah, it was free if you went to some page for Scruff, it just spit a key out at you. The Barbazons have been around Boston forever, they're pretty good! They used to be called the Fagettes, so if you want more music from them you can probably find it under that?

How's the RB3 transfer work? I've got a dirt cheap copy arriving today. I should just be able to play enough to get an achievement for RB4 to see it?

Curious about this as well, and wondering if there's any catches to watch out for? Like can someone "use up" the export from RB3 and sell the disc or can the same one be used multiple times?

Also also, I can't seem to locate anywhere to buy an extra kick pedal for PS4 RB4. Is this not a thing? I'd love to add a second kick to play the faster songs but everything seems to be for previous generations that I can find.

Any pedal should work fine. I have one from the PS2 version of RB1!

I'm assuming my kick from my GH:World Tour for the 360 is not going to work but I will try this when I get home just for shits. They look cheap enough on Amazon if not, thanks!

RB3 export works by checking your account for achievements and then allowing you to purchase and use the export. A disc can't be 'used up' since it's just an account thing. You can borrow my disc and still get it all working for yourself.

It won't. GH pedals output an analog signal similar to the drum pads, RB is an on/off signal.

This was the one thing about the GH drum hardware I always liked more. The pulse is sent when your pedal hits, not when two magnetic fields with no physical feedback get near enough, it's analog (softer kicks = quieter game sounds), and you can hook up multiple pedals without extra circuitry unlike RB pedals which need additional logic to prevent crosstalk.
The downside was since it communicated with pulses there was no way to "hold" a kick on menus to scan song categories.

Hold-to-scroll through band names scrolls through the band names themselves, and not the first letter of the band's name, which is really annoying.

My pipe dream RB4 feature would be integrating Cortana since the last Xbone update added it, and letting you use the RB mic instead of kinect or something because lord I am never going to buy one of those.
They could probably just hack it in by using popup cortana to indentify the speech, and then just having RB use whatever string she comes up with as the text in the search function that already exists.

Yeah, why wouldn't a game with half the features of its predecessor have a niche feature that a majority of its audience would never even encounter, let alone engage with? That's crazy!

Sincere answer: ever since Harmonix was sold back to its employees for fifty bucks, they've been a small, indie dev who've had to focus their limited resources where they'd have the greatest impact. You need MTV/Viacom money to bother with poo poo like SmartGlass integration.

Yeah I actually posted about Smartglass integration on the Super User forum ages ago and it came down to "not enough resources". Trust me, if it has to do with navigating a monster songlist, I've asked about it.

it's their second screen functionality thing where you can do stuff on an ipad while playing a game or whatever

useless in 99% of situations, but could be rad in this

the only thing I barely ever used it for was as a map in fallout 4

Most of the time I ever use it is to type stuff in, I had no idea it did anything with Fallout. I wish they'd actually tell you about these features, drat.
