In a shitty engine? No thanks!

I'm sure HMX is sitting on Black Sabbath for RB3 as well as some other big name stuff we've known about for some time.

Yeah I'm sure it's chilling right beside that Metallica 12 pack.

 

[XShagrath]

Yeah I'm sure it's chilling right beside that Metallica 12 pack.

I know for a fact that the Metallica stuff is not vaporware. You can believe me or not, I don't care.

 

[DuckRacer]

If there's not a Metallica song in RB3, it's probably safe to say the licensing deal fell through.

I can kinda understand not knowing bands outside of the radio. It's unfortunate, but I can see where they are coming from. But saying there is not good music after 2001? And why 2001 exactly? ARGH! it hert brayn

I can kind of see his underlying point, though. It seems like for every '70s and '80s song there's another two dozen post-2008 songs released as DLC.

 

[Affeinvasion]

Which would make sense given that this is the 2000s.

 

[DuckRacer]

Which would make sense given that this is the 2000s.

Yeah I know, but since RB is a music game I'd like to think that people would rather play some decent classic rock instead of Flyleaf's latest single.

 

[Affeinvasion]

I agree that some people would rather play classic rock but it all depends on your demographic for people that are actually buying DLC. Plus I can guarantee its a hell of a lot easier to license newer stuff and also you will probably never run into problems with masters.

[Ridley327]

On the upside, newer stuff tends to sell pretty well, which means they can afford to take some risks with more obscure stuff or put in the work necessary to get older masters up and running.

Glass half full!

Lady Gaga helped fund Jimi Hendrix.

These challenges are going to be the friggin wet death of me. UGGH

Lady Gaga fucking sucks

Incubus fucking sucks

[Archie]

You aren't helping your case bro.

 

[Mileena]

You like MGMT, Green Day and Lady Gaga. I already annihilated you without doing anything.

 

[Grecco]

Archie likes MGMT? smh

 

[Costanza]

Archie likes MGMT? nice

 

[Xevren]

Ok I only 3 starred Indigo Friends on Guitar, but I gold starred it on Drums. Man that song is FUN!

Also, officially passed 300 drum gold stars today as well.

I <3 Indigo Friends. Try and start each green strum on an upstrum and the chord on a down, that's what I generally do and can gold it more often than not.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Rb3 is going to have the worst soundtrack of all time if Harmonix follow DLC sales trends. Let's hope they don't.

Minus Gaga.

It would be pretty hard to top GH5

 

[Ridley327]

GH6 is going to try, if those leaked tracks are of any indication.

They will probably get a KC track though

Spoiler

why does HMX h8 prog?

 

[Ridley327]

They've shown so much interest in getting more tracks from Fripp.

 

[XShagrath]

Spoiler

why does HMX h8 prog?

They just released three more prog songs last week. How much more can you ask for?

 

[Ridley327]

To be fair, it's three more prog songs from a band that's already had three songs in the game. The lack of new artists in the genre is somewhat disheartening, RBN aside.

 

[Mileena]

adverDLC doesn't count


and I could ask for King Crimson at the very least. Even GH has a KC song.

DLC support doesn't excuse RB2's shitty setlist.

 

[MrOctober]

I think I liked The Losers every bit as much as I liked Kick Ass. Movie was fun as hell.

 

[Mileena]

DLC support doesn't excuse RB2's shitty setlist.

wet are you talking about?

 

[Archie]

DLC support doesn't excuse RB2's shitty setlist.

RB2 has the best setlist in music game history.

 

[AMUSIX]

These challenges are going to be the friggin wet death of me. UGGH

How the fuck are you still playing them? It's 24 fucking songs...it seriously takes no time at all. And one of the challenges is only 2 songs long!

 

[AMUSIX]

I'm not sure if you're being facetious or not...but it is a damn good setlist, despite all the hate it gets in here.

[Mileena]

It's on par with GHWT as far as guitar goes. GH2 and GH3 are light years above any other games though.

The worst setlist not counting Green Day: RB would easily be GH5.


disclaimer: I'm sure RB2 setlist is amazing on drums, after all it is HMX.

 

[XShagrath]

He's having trouble staying wet while playing. He has to take frequent breaks because he dries up.

 

[TheGreatDave]

RB2 and RB1 both have worse setlists than any Guitar Hero game. RB2 is actually terrible on guitar.

 

[Mileena]

RB2 is actually terrible on guitar.

I wouldn't disagree with this but GHWT and GH5 are just as bad or worse. The days of fun on disc setlists for guitar are over man.

 

[Costanza]

It's nice to not care about charts and only whether I like the song or not.

 

[TheGreatDave]

I wouldn't disagree with this but GHWT and GH5 are just as bad or worse. The days of fun on disc setlists for guitar are over man.

I agree. But seeing as the tracklists have way more tracks now then they used to, it's as much a case of inconsistency as a lack of good tracks. I think GHWT has tons of shit but is quite under rated in terms of how much good shit there is. I don't expect you to agree though

 

[Mileena]

Don't worry, after the abortion known as GH5 I definitely appreciate WT's setlist more.

I just can't believe the credits song was Pull Me Under. Such a huge smh at that.

 

[XShagrath]

RB2 and RB1 both have worse setlists than any Guitar Hero game. RB2 is actually terrible on guitar.

You and cork are confusing the quality of the soundtrack with the difficulty/quality of the guitarwork in the songs. Your instrument elitism is bringing down your opinion down.

I'm with costanza (omg). Can't you play a song you enjoy, even if it's not difficult at all?

 

[Mileena]

I'm with costanza (omg). Can't you play a song you enjoy, even if it's not difficult at all?

(Take These) Chains (tier 2 or 3 guitar) is more fun and better than Battery (devil horns tier)

Shaggy annihilated.

 

[AMUSIX]

RB2 and RB1 both have worse setlists than any Guitar Hero game.

Considering I can easily take half of RB2's 105 songs and make an awesome setlist, I'd say it's soundtrack is far superior to most GH's, and, without question, superior to the following:

GH - 47 on-disk songs, a dozen of which are crap
GH80's - 30 on-disk songs, with some truly abhorrent covers (including Twisted Sister doing a shitty cover of themselves)
GHAerosmith - 41 on-disk songs...including 4 from Joe Perry's horrible solo album
GHVanHalen - 44 songs...with guest acts chosen by Wolfgang...

No...I do believe you misspoke...

 

[BigBlackGamer]

I thought it was pretty well known that the RB2 setlist was the best setlist of any music game?

GH2 fuckin sucks because covers suck.

 

[Macho Madness]

THERE I DID ALL THE FRIGGIN CHALLENGES. Stupid game.

Moving on to the oh so wet Lego RB now. Much better.

 

[ravien56]

I think I liked The Losers every bit as much as I liked Kick Ass. Movie was fun as hell.

I can't believe you watched that movie.

 

[Mileena]

Lego is the farthest thing from wet there is. GH5 is more wet than LRB.

 

[XShagrath]

(Take These) Chains (tier 2 or 3 guitar) is more fun and better than Battery (devil horns tier)

Shaggy annihilated.

You want my honest opinion? Stand up!

I'd fucking fall asleep playing any song on guitar sitting down. Yes, even Megadeth.
