Yeah 1986 was great. First computer virus was released and the Challenger exploded...and that was just January.

I'm new to this Rockband stuff and only have Lego Rockband, are the RBN songs in the PSN store usable in the Lego version? Thanks.

Nay

No, but Rock Band 2 is dirt cheap. Around $10 to $15. So it wouldn't be a bad investment, even if Rock Band 3 comes out at the end of the Summer, you still get 90 songs + the ability to download whatever DLC you want.

Afraid of some healthy competition, aren't we Dave?

I read an article on GH6 today that said Quickplay+ is like a collectathon. RIP, Rock Band, you guys should preorder WoR today.

 

[Ridley327]

So Rare is finally getting into the rhythm game genre?

 

[TheGreatDave]

Imagine if you had to hit every note on every song to complete the game :drool:

 

[birdman]

Imagine if you had to hit every note on every song with every character to complete the game :drool:

fixed for optimal collect-a-thon

 

[TheGreatDave]

And every transformation!

 

[DuckRacer]

With every instrument!

 

[birdman]

With every instrument!

Twice!

 

[DuckRacer]

On every difficulty!

Would definitely be better than N&B and PDZ

Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock

Contains over 1000 hours of gameplay!*

 

[TheGreatDave]

Hah, were you at the stratagy meeting too, Birdman?! PM me, I didn't know you were involved.

 

[Terrordactyl]

He must have sent a proxy to sheild his identity.

 

[PedroRVD]

the perfect game for Bebedora...she will leave us, and I never played with her =(

 

[birdman]

Brian brought me in. He said he needed a guy that finished 100% of Donkey Kong 64 so he could find out "how the fuck this collectin' shit works".

Browsing G4 (don't ask), I found an article that talks about how the LOST tracks ended up in Rock Band. Pretty cool article.

Here's the article.

Incredible birthday. .. not sure what I can say...just Disney, veal, and a giant set of boobies.

 

[Ashour]

Was also the golden years of Iron Maiden, which is pretty much an auto win.

This guy knows how to get a <3 from pretty much everyone here :lol

Here's the article.

G4 is the worst just cause they link you to an article or a video but when you click it you find your self on the main page and you have to go through bunch of shit just to find it.

This could be a mobile thing but if it's so then fuck them for that too.

That's one of the reasons I stopped following them on twitter, the other reason is they keep posting the same tweets over and over for 5 days.

G4's web is a mess. The best staff they have are the few people still there from TechTV, and they're on tv production.

Hell no, still don't like the engine.

I read an article on GH6 today that said Quickplay+ is like a collectathon. RIP, Rock Band, you guys should preorder WoR today.

When I asked you about GH6, you acted like you knew all about it. From the article I read, it sounds terrible. There is actual meta-tracking in the game, much like with CoD. So you level up, yet it's nothing more than bragging rights. Not to mention one character has the ability to earn more than 6 stars on a single song. It's just stupid star tracking.

FYI: The article was in the Official Playstation Mag. The characters look like something from an angsty teenagers wetdream. :/

PS: RB3 needs to get The Toadies. Or at least the Rubberneck album as dlc by the end of the year.

Have you not learned anything yet? This is all Dave really cares about.

 

[TheGreatDave]

I probably gave the impression I know all about it because I actually read the articles, where you seem to have skimmed them and got incorrect info.

Quickplay: same as GH5
Quickplay+: Quickplay with a bunch of challenges for every song, where you can get up to 40 (I think) stars on each song
Transformations: only used in Quickplay+ or Quest, gives "powers" that you can combine to go for super high scores/challenges. Star Power pathing v. 2

As a fan of stars, WoR is currently 8 times better than the competition.

 

[aristotle]

Oh I know that. but if you read the article it makes it sounds incredibly stupid. Since the top is no longer 5 stars and you can use a character to get even more stars...it kind of negates the main purpose of stars to me. It's like that stupid kid in kindergarten got a hold of the teachers star stickers and put all of the gold ones he could find next to his name. It literally tracks stars for almost everything! At least the included challenges on each song make it different, but that's about it (and those don't pertain to the star tracking).

Spoiler

I think I just found out what wrong happened to Dave. Teacher never gave you a gold star?

 

[TheGreatDave]

Quickplay not plus is still a 6 star max, like GH5 and (essentially) RB2. Oh noes, options

Nope I read the article. It seems incredibly superficial to the game. I know all about quickplay+ as you can see from my previous post. Not to mention you have to play as every character in "tiers" to progress in the game and complete it. Not that it actually matters in a game such as GH & RB.

Well, at least he woke and smelled the coffee on what 40 stars meant. I knew there was no way it'd be 40 per instrument.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Ridley, I'm so disappointed

You said "Not to mention one character has the ability to earn more than 6 stars on a single song." Every character can earn over 6 stars. Destroyed, skimmer

haha. No! Johnny Napalm has that ability in quest mode. Who skimmed now?

That has already been in what, 3-4 GH games? No reason to bitch about it now.

 

[TheGreatDave]

No way can one character exclusively earn more stars than the others. If that's the case I'll cancel my imaginary preorder and buy RB3 + 160 button guitar instead.

It's true man. Look for the Official Playstation Magazine. Wait you're in the UK. If I can't find it today, I'll scan and show you tonight in irc.

You're already wrong because the first GH6 article (OXM?) says Lars can get a 6x multiplier.

 

[TheGreatDave]

In NS we trust. :smug:

 

[aristotle]

It's in the article so one of the magazines must've gotten it wrong. Lars gets a 6x multiplier. Napalm gets more stars. The issue I have is the July issue. It was delivered 2 days ago.

 

[XShagrath]

You're already wrong because the first GH6 article (OXM?) says Lars can get a 6x multiplier.

Maybe that's Lars' special for higher scores, but maybe the threshold for Johnny Napalm's stars is lower, and therefore he can get more stars with a lower score? And then Judy Nails gets more overdrive, and Axel Steel gets a loosened timing window.

 

[BigBlackGamer]

the fuck......are they adding MW perks to GH6. :lol

 

[Ridley327]

Can't wait to see the Martyrdom equivalent!

Yeah. It's activision. What did you expect?

I believe in the article it says you can stack the perks as well when you have several members playing with different characters

Spoiler

I may be making that part up

. Like I said...CoD in GH form

 

[BigBlackGamer]

Innovation.

 

[Baker]

If GH6 has auto-calibration, it will be better than RB3.
