OH MY GOD PRETTY HATE MACHINE WOULD BE A KEYBOARD WET DREAM COME TRUE
Bon Jovi is bought. I hope this isn't how they treat all future legacy updates though (I'll give them a pass this time since they were all disc songs).

It doesn't work for me. I just get a "Failure to redeem code error - Try again later". Same if I press the button to see what I've already redeemed. It's just broken.Shaneus said:

Finally picked this up last night. It's pretty fantastic and seems to make all the little changes I was hoping for that made RB2 annoying over the long term (not that it was ever enough to stop playing). My only real initial gripe is that the characters are a bit ugly; I spent quite a while trying to re-create some of my RB2 characters and they come out...off.
I might be having a false memory, but I really don't think so. You can only have one instrument as the 'active' profile? In other words, when I'm playing with my wife I'm only getting credit for what the person signed into my account is doing? I'm pretty sure in earlier Rock Bands we'd get achievements and stuff for anyone did who was playing as long as the leader was signed into the profile.
Am I just completely wrong or did they change it? I guess I could see where people could use it to 'boost' or whatever, but fuck, it makes you feel unimportant when you're playing and not contributing to possible achievements, etc.

The only achievements other people can contribute to the signed in player are band based ones. Like "seriously saved" or the 1000000 point club ones. But streak goals, etc will only be judged by the signed in player.Amneisac said:

Finally got my game to link. Now I just need to persuade it to do the RB2 / LRB export.

"The Gambler" is fun for parties as most people know it.mrklaw said:
"Fancy" by Reba is just a good song
"On the Road Again" is another good party one due to familiarity
but the song you have to get, just for the soul crushing difficulty, is "Sin Wagon" by the Dixie Chicks. People complaining about not having enough hard guitar stuff or saying all the country stuff blows obviously have not downloaded that song yet. Pain in the ass on guitar, and damn fun to sing.

Linked my account but in-game the challenge for linking an account isn't unlocking. Everything else works fine. Just won't give me the completion on that challenge

Give it time. A few hours after I linked it gave me the achievement as soon as the main menu booted up.criesofthepast said:Linked my account but in-game the challenge for linking an account isn't unlocking. Everything else works fine. Just won't give me the completion on that challenge

Trent doesn't own those masters so it's entirely possible.drmcclin said:

regardless of who owns them, I don't think Reznor is AGAINST putting more music in the game. i think the quote was more along the lines of "i'm bored with it, maybe later if I feel compelled".
Keyboards could be the added incentive he needed.

It's really too bad GH seemingly scored exclusivity with Tool.
I would love NIN's Wish to be in RB. The Fragile is my favorite album of theirs, would love for some of that to make it over too.

Well, you can while the keys are pressed - and there's no penalty for hitting keys before the song, or for holding onto keys after the notes are complete during a song. Not quite what you want, but it's not too bad.
My main issue so far is that I'm having a problem actually memorizing songs since I'm never looking at the keys. While my brain is getting used to what key to hit just from looking at the color and position on the highway (and with that, knowing what actual note it is) ... for whatever reason it isn't going that extra step and actually burning an image of the song into my brain. Sheet music on the other hand, does.
Granted, I'm just starting.

The Fragile has an SE in the works for 2010/2011 so maybe?drmcclin said:

Best news I've heard this week. Other than Christine O'Donell getting defeated, of course. That album is a masterpiece.

I linked but all my goals don't show on the website. I'm pretty sure risky guitar or whatever where you play with no fail mode on is one of the first things I did. I have it in the game but not online.
I'd like to be able to get more into pro keys, normal keys is pretty simple. The only problem I'm having is interpreting what I see on the screen. Not complaining or anything like that but I'd be doing so much better right now if they just gave me a sheet with the notes on it or if the black and white note indicator things had the key letter on them.
I'd also like if I could hook the keyboard up to the computer through USB.
The obsessive side of me is kind of angry that it will never be able to accomplish all of the goals in this game. There's just a ridiculous number of things to do. Of course so some internet guru will accomplish everything.

So is there anyway to choose which venues I want? There was a cheat in RB2 that let you do that.

Have you seen any pictures of the pro guitar? It has strings, I don't think you can abstract that.

I would totally double-dip on Don't Stop Believing with keys.

Is the linking not working right for anyone else? Goals that I've completed are showing up as not completed on the site.

Wow, the procedure to "upgrade" legacy songs is bullshit.
Being forced to pay $2 to buy the song all over again to get keys and harmonies and then pay another $1 for Pro Guitar/Bass is fucking awful. That means that for songs you already downloaded, it's $5 per song to be able to have a full RB3 version (the $2 you already paid for the original DLC plus the $3 to buy the whole thing over again.
Now let's multiply that by the entire Queen pack...fuck you, Harmonix.
(mostly because I know I'm going to pay it anyway)

Has anyone worked out how to get your custom band members using the correct instruments?
MetatronM said:
Let's hope this is some kind of one off thing. Selling the songs twice (and for a premium at that) is just plain silly. Surely there must be a way to either a) add-on to your exiting DLC or b) check your purchase history and offer a discount if the song is already in your library.
Monkeylord said:
It's different ordering depending on what instrument you are playing but if your playing guitar its:
Slot 1: You as Guitar
Slot 2: Bass
Slot 3: Vocals
Slot 4: Drums
Slots 3 & 4 will swap depending on the sex of the vocalist from that song.
Obviously this depends on you also having at least one female/male member in your band. Otherwise the game will bring in a random matching gender for the song being played.
