spatular Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Fuck this game. yeah i still don't think its a terrible game but compared to the harmonix ones it was a massive let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Well, I'm about 20 hours into my drumming career and I have just taken the next step from medium onto hard. There are still a fair few songs I don't have down, but I am getting 90%+ on medium even when I do terrible, so it is time to press on. How long did it take everyone else to progress? The only stuff I had any problems with was rated 5 or devil which partly came down to me not playing those songs that much, I find that familiar songs no matter how hard can be done with only a few dropped notes. I'm getting that scary thing going down where my hands are working independent of my brain, it feels like they are reading the note charts and just doing what they should be doing automatically. On the down side, playing for any serious length of time buggers up my right wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 I can't quite remember how long it took me to comfortably get off medium. I remember struggling with High Tides from RB1 on the drums just because of the pace and length. RB1 had a similar structure to the old Guitar Hero games so when I hit my limit on medium I started again on hard, and when I hit my limit on that I went back to where I was stuck on medium and then I'd usually piss through it wondering what the fuss was, and did the same with hard/expert.

Tomahawk Rob Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Just played through the freebie 'RockBand Network Megamix 1' track (on drums), and there was one particular standout track...

spatular Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 did you get any of the bob marley stuff Hendo? any good? also i think spending that 2400 points this month just got a whole lot easier for me - hendrix album next week "Are You Experienced". and the dlc for tomorrow seems pretty good too - some REM and t-rex and there's another rodrigo y gabriella song on rbn i need to buy too.

Hendo Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Nope, haven't had a bash on this for ages, I'm planning on fixing that this week. "Are You Experienced?" is a good shout but I'd rather a compilation for Jimi, a lot of album tracks could be poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 "Are You Experienced?" is a good shout but I'd rather a compilation for Jimi, a lot of album tracks could be poor. yeah that's a valid concern, pretty much all the first album they put out was kick ass though (if a bit short) so i remain optimistic. still agree a big compilation would be better. listend to/watched the rem/t-rex stuff last night, really great music, note charts for the best songs didn't look that fun for drums though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Didn't buy the album but I did buy Foxy Lady. I spent a fortune on there today - the Queen pack, Bob Marley Legend album, Lady Gaga pack, "Facination" by Alphabeat ( in advance), the song from I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES, a couple of Jonathon Coulton tracks, "Mr Brightside" by The Killers and "Molly's Chambers" by Kings of Leon. Oh and Gorillaz trackpack and Franz Ferdinand trackpack. I still might go back for more. I made a setlist of 4 songs in the Tour, decided to make it a camp pop spectacular - had 3 Lady Gaga songs and Alphabeat. Had a great big grin on my face the whole way through, bar the surprisingly hard guitar part on "Facination". Then they dropped a surprise 5th song and it was Kansas "Carry On My Wayward Son". Totally killed the mood. Never trust a song that has a guitar solo in the first 10 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomahawk Rob Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I bought 'Purple Haze' & 'Manic Depression' (which is awesome on drums!)... already looking forward to the release of 'Electric Ladyland' - Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) FTFW! Also, Stan Bush's 'The Touch' is now on the Rock Band Network! Who else is getting RB3 on launch day?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 Never trust a song that has a guitar solo in the first 10 seconds. I think you mean always. Wayward Son is camp in its own sort of way, it's a bit of a fist clencher. Who else is getting RB3 on launch day?? Me! With the keyboard, and hopefully scrape enough money together for other peoples Christmas prezzies and me a pro drum kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Me! With the keyboard same here. really wanted a pro guitar too but not sure what to do about that now. also agree with Tomahawk about the hendrix stuff, the last 2 albums have been great, a lot better collection than any of the single band games imo. hope they add pro guitar mode to some of the next album.

Hendo Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Yeah I'm hoping to get it with the keyboard, should become quite useful in learning to play the damn thing! I'm tempted by the guitar but there's still loads of questions un-answered about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I've just played a demanding mystery set on the bass. I started on Expert and when it threw Iron Maiden at me, I failed miserably and went down to Hard. The point is, they threw a song in there that I swear I've not come across before. I didn't recognise it and wondered if someone had been taking the piss and bought some random DLC when I wasn't looking. It was horrible - all airy, fairy prog rock going on about trees and elves and changed time signature several times. It turned out to be Rush, no surprise there then.

Sly Reflex Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 And that's RB2 completed. Last song we managed to 100% before the fireworks started flying about. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
