Rock Band (360/PS3)

[sharky_ob]

That, and I'm sure the pads don't register every hit. Almost like the Europe stuff was re-issues, hm.

They're not great, but you can mod them to make them better.....

[MrMarbles]

Love Spreads by the Stone Roses sounds really good, i'd forgotten what a cool track it is.

What is up with the Expert drums note-chart, though? Jeezo.

That can be added to five Megadeth songs on my suddenly rapidly-growing list of songs I can't finish

EDIT: Add YYZ to that list. Hmm, seven songs in the past month when, for the previous eight or so months, I've been able to finish everything on Expert. Is it me or is Harmonix ramping up the difficulty to possibly trump GH4's drums...?

If anyone ever wants to have a game online just add me. I'm a PS3 user. PSN: AsPiRiNgYoUtH

Everytime i hop online, either NOBODY has any or next to NO DLC songs, or i am winning and they quit. Its rubbish i tells ya! Need a challenge. Can do Expert Drums/Guitar/Bass.

Downloaded Blood Sugar Sex Magik today and for me this is the best DLC so far.

It's the first time i have picked up the guitar intead of playing drums on any new songs.

Brilliant.

I wouldn't mind a few of those tracks but I can't justify buying them in case I decide I want the whole album in the future: cash wasted. I'm like this with all the big packs, I wouldn't mind some Who/Rush stuff either. Woe is me and all that

Via Youtube, one of the RHCP songs looks mental though

[nonny]

Just got the RHCP album today... excellent stuff, and on the same day they announce an 18 song strong AC/DC pack. I cant wait.

Only bad news is the AC/DC pack is going to be a standalone disc like GH Aerosmith but for 360/PS3 owners you can then use a serial code in the box to allow you to migrate songs to the HDD. Looks like it'll cost $39us (ouch) but for me its just too good to pass up, some of the songs on there are just gravy.

just got the rhcp pack, wow awsome u wan play some online nonny ? my tag is SILENT MOUNTAIN

[arcnas]

Why a disc for the ACDC content i wonder , a bit of a ripoff if you ask me, will still probally buy it though, just dont understand why its not DLC

[toythatkills]

Because AC/DC have a huge problem with people downloading songs. They feel that their albums should only be sold as albums, people shouldn't just be allowed to buy the one track they want.

It might be made available as a full pack (without allowing you to buy single songs) in the future, but I imagine Harmonix thought that since people will only be able to buy all or nothing, a disk is easier to market and people that don't buy DLC will still be able to get it, opening up the potential market a bit.

[arcnas]

Thats fine but $40 seems a bit steep top be honest.

[toythatkills]

It's steep for a track pack, but it's actually a stand-alone game, hence the slightly inflated price.

Most will just import the songs into RB1/2 though (though this is strictly limited to once per disk)

[Rossco]

£20 for one albums worth is it? Thats a bit ridiculous!

[Skull Commander]

Thats fine but $40 seems a bit steep top be honest.

Especially when all AC/DC songs sound the same. That riff has done them well though.......

[toythatkills]

It's not necessarily worth it, but the price can't be compared to what it'd cost as DLC because it's a standalone game, and to a huge AC/DC fan it'll probably be worth it.

On the plus side, the fact that it's on disk has one major advantage: I'm sure it'll be reduced in price fairly steeply once it doesn't sell and amazon and Play have got warehouses full of them, and you could end up getting it for less than the DLC would've cost.

This will be the best thing ever. I could quite happily have the entire Crue library on this game. Its just a shame that I have a broken collar bone leaving me unable to drum or guitar. Bah.
