precision posted:Well, that explains why it sounds identical to Blues Traveler, but not why anyone alive gives a poo poo about it, and still doesn't really explain how I've heard it nine billion times since I wasn't listening to that poo poo 19 years ago either. because that song was really huge and in every single movie trailer for a while

Better pick up the Flagpole Sitta custom before it's taken down, I guess. And Closing Time.

Anticipating the day RB4 licenses a song from the 90s with fake stems that are worse than the fake stems in an existing C3 custom of said song. Orange Harrison fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Oct 4, 2016 |

Sorry to bring the mood down, but a very, very talented and prolific author, a good guy and one of the very few authors generous enough to actually actively fulfill requests has passed today. Alex, or Super Blooper as he was known, died from cancer, something he managed to keep from us with a dignity I'm not sure I would have had. His brother has posted about it on our forums: if you ever enjoyed a single piece of user generated content, from him or not, please go to our forums and say something to his brother. Thank you.

Flagpole Sitta is the poo poo. It's one of my favorite customs to play, and it was authored by pksage, so you know it's high quality material.Kaboobi posted:I'm gonna go out on a limb and call right now that Flagpole Sitta has hosed up stems. For what it's worth, RBN author TriumphantBass said this to me on /r/RockBand: quote:I talked with them before. Stems weren't an issue, it was all WMG (or Universal? I'd have to check). They didn't own their older songs, and they were on really bad terms with the label who did. So maybe there's hope. farottone posted:Sorry to bring the mood down, but a very, very talented and prolific author, a good guy and one of the very few authors generous enough to actually actively fulfill requests has passed today.

Yes, this sucks. I saw that when it popped up on the forums yesterday. There's hardly anything we can say that will truly help, but at least showing appreciation might make a positive impact on his brother, who is also a member on our forums. Sometimes, life sucks.

Rock Band 3 was the poo poo when I was in college and I'm thinking of getting RB4. The first post is kind of turning me off though. I tried my old 360 instruments out and I know I at least want to get a new guitar as the mic and camera that allow for auto calibration seem to have died in both of mine. Should I just get all new instruments? I mean, is the game still a fun party game at all? Is it worth it to try to get back into it?

If you want new instruments you should wait until Rivals (RB4 expansion) launches next Tuesday. It is being bundled with new hardware from new hardware partner PDP after MadCatz imploded.

Should I just get all new instruments? The MadCatz RB4 guitar is great, the drums not so much. From all accounts I've heard the PDP guitar and drums are both great. If you just want a new guitar, I'd suggest getting one of the bundles that's releasing next week with Rivals here: https://www.amazon.com/Rivals-Wirel...ock+band+rivals You'll get a new guitar, RB4+Rivals expansion, and 12 songs for preordering. And I guess a mail in coupon for a microphone as well? If you want a new guitar and drums, get this guy: https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Band-Rivals-Kit-PlayStation-4/dp/B01IANW0OM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1476199218&sr=8-2&keywords=rock+band+rivals Same as before, but drums and guitar in the box. Don't get one of the older bundles, the older style drums are not good for rolls and the pedal is wonky, and you won't get the $30 expansion. Also, if you get it on the same console family you had it on before, all of your DLC will carry over (minus a few entitlements they're still working on) and and exports you did will be available right from the start. Edit: they've made significant updates to the game since launch, and when the online multiplayer hits "this fall" it'll be basically at parity and then some to RB3, minus RBN, character customization, keys, and pro guitar.

Should I just get all new instruments? RB4 was designed to be a "fun party game". If you're the sort of person who has strong feelings about awful stems and questionable pop music and the absence of RB3's nearly-perfect feature set then yeah you'll be disappointed by RB4 ("Your RB3 disc still spins so just play that one and enjoy it"), but if you just wanna get up and flap around on plastic instruments and screech into a mic with some friends then it's fine.

It's not about customer storage. It's about retail shelf space. GameStop and Target (and is Best Buy still a thing?) don't like stocking those massive, awkwardly-shaped boxes.

If you preorder digitally you get a hamburger shirt and a sword guitar. (no, they can't afford to pour actual dev time into meaningfully changing the customization system in their broken game that is missing major, non-costmetic features from their last game)

To me, the crap character creator was the most ironic part of this. For months prior to release of the game they had a thread on the HMX forums asking people for "inclusion" ideas - they wanted to make sure everyone felt included.... So people suggested color blind mode, auto-kick, auto-tap, the ability to use the keytar to play guitar for those with muscle control issues (people with this problem actually posted in the thread), concentration mode (black background with note highway), as well as many other things that seemed like great ideas to make as many people feel welcome to play the game. What did they do? Included ZERO of the suggested features at launch, and since then only have added auto-kick as far as I know...and they made the game LESS INCLUSIVE by making it so you can no longer identify with your character. Oh you're fat? Too bad, stick figure character. Oh, you're short? Too bad, it's a tall stick figure character, etc, etc. But hey...now it's "masculine" and "feminine" instead of "male" and "female." Yay, HMX is so inclusive!!! /rant (not really over, I have much more to bitch about regarding this subject, but I think that's enough)

Am I the only person that opened up the customization menu once or twice, went "meh" and then just moved on to playing music on fake plastic instruments Because that's how I've treated the character creator in every iteration of GH/RB and I feel like I haven't missed out on anything

I try to represent this view from time to time on /r/rockband as a counterpoint to the constant pleas to devote dev time to expanding the character creator (since HMX look there for community feedback and I don't like them getting just one side), and I'm downvoted to oblivion every time. Somehow it is very unpopular to suggest that limited resources be allocated to non-cosmetic features. Dudes reeeeally want their fat bassists back.

It's perplexing to me because it's not like I have a lot of time to look at background scenery while I'm rocking the gently caress out. Even when I'm spectating I'm usually looking at the note chart anyway  I actually vastly preferred GH:Live's background stuff to watch as a spectator, I'd take that over customizable band any day of the week but I get that's going against the aesthetic of forming a "rock band" in this video game

I mean, obviously if I had to choose "more songs" or "more clothes" I'd pick "more songs", I just don't understand how "more clothes" could even take a non-trivial amount of resources given that the game looks like a PS2 game.

Moundgarden posted:Am I the only person that opened up the customization menu once or twice, went "meh" and then just moved on to playing music on fake plastic instruments I fired this up for the first time the other day after downloading my girlfriends enormous list of entitlements. I went into the creator to remake my ghastly white-haired, red-eyed, spikeleather-adorned black metal parody guy from RB3 and took five seconds looking at the new creator content, or should I say the lack thereof.  They couldn't even carry over the poo poo from the previous game? Then again judging from what I've read in the last ten pages or so about stemless tracks and atrocious notation,  seems to be the perfect way to sum up RB4.Despite outwardly being primarily interested in playing metal and rock in games like this, I tend to put my most enthusiastic (especially vocals) performances into goofier/sillier songs like Master Exploder, and cheesing the gently caress out with stuff like Journey and any new wave stuff I remember hearing when I was a wee bairn back in the 80s. I can't get enough of that poo poo. Hexenritter fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Oct 12, 2016 |
