I wonder what Children of the Gravy is like?

They promised what, exactly? Because I didn't see anything here saying they'd come out this year.

The worst part of Sabbath plus the worst part of Metallica? Awful.

Going out on a limb, I'd say delicious.

im still holding out for the day they put Crush My Battle Opponents Balls on a music game

:foc:

Queen and MCR :heart:

Sept. 21

Will it have a keytar?

WARRIOR LARS

OMG this game is win

lol, that sounds like the most cringe-worthy thing ever.

lol terrible.

sustaining open bass notes sounds like a bad idea since the only feasible way to do that is to hold the strum bar down the entirety of the note, and that's fucking stupid.

Especially since they already represent it adequately as-is.

exactly. when i sustain an open note on my bass, it's not like i hold my finger on the string. that defeats the entire purpose.

Yeah, an open string likes to vibrate on its own. It took me a little while to warm up to the whole open note bit because I'm used to open tones being represented the same way everything else was, but it's fairly accurate as is.

I doubt this will be a game breaking deal, but it is kind of dumb.

what kalyx posted appears to be the stupidest attempt at continuing an already super-weak story in history.

Well that's what they wanna do. They should totally have a Brutal Legend cameo/themed stage.

No.

Oh you'd totally rock Eddie Riggs playing Queen.

...Oh wait...

Dunno I might have to pass on buying this. Just rent it and wait for Rock Band 3.

Maybe they should spend less time on a story mode that no one except kalyx triad will give a fuck about, and more time on features that actually impact the gameplay.

Gonna get so many achievements.

Especially when you consider that the market for rhythm games is in a decline.

Though maybe they can get the Brütal Legend crowd...Both of them.

Only 3 songs that I'd even consider playing.

Wow.

Are any of those tracks new announcements?

MmM

It was a simple question.

Than answer it, previous list was on page three.

*facepalm*

The neck of the guitar (the entire line, rather) houses the electronics while the body can be swapped out for different designs. The two metal designs could be swapped out for an acoustic design, for instance. Looks trippy, but I still like the Beetles axes better.

Yeah, no sliders. Boo hoo.

Is it me, or does that lack the slider?

Kinda hard to give a fuck but....

Wow. Even the guy who was fapping to the story can't get excited.

I dunno. Guitar Hero's been a huge let down since the first one.

Even 2?

Anyway, I'm thankful for the fact that RB3 has Bohemian Rhapsody. Almost no motivation left for me to buy this game.

Or 3?

It was the first time Metallica appeared you know.

Coincidentally, the game that was considered the begin of GH's decline by many.

Shitty covers in that one. :-\

Solid game, but I should be able to recognize that I'm playing Misirilou. Also, Queen should have gotten a solo game instead of fucking bullshit Green Day.
3 has a pretty terrible song list. I can understand an even division between roughly a third awesome, a third crap and a third meh. But a quarter awesome, and the rest crap just isn't cool. The bonus songs are even worse. Plus the presentation seemed to be going in the wrong direction. Fucking Neversoft.

And Metallica is about as relevant as Cartman's rendition of Poker Face for Rock Band.

You have a point on the covers. Some were awful.

They should have at least held out the Queen DLC until they added piano and multivox support. And they're certainly more deserving than Green Day. Like twice the catalog, incredibly successful, and more hits. Even if one argued Queen was undeserving, it's insane to think Green Day should get the same treatment as the fucking Beatles.

Also, GH3 was the first game I never bothered to get good at, largely because I didn't like most of the songs in the higher tiers. GH1 and 2 I practiced my arse off. GHWT I worked at quite a bit. Bock Band? I didn't love everything, but I loved enough that I kept at it. GH3? Booooooring.

My own pet theory is that they have been encoding the enhanced RB3 features into DLC since at least the Queen stuff.

I've been hoping, actually. They did the same for the hammer-on chords between RB and RB2. It's technically possible, given Beatles: Rock Band tracks don't seem larger despite multitrack vocals.

I'm not going to get ahead of myself, but I do hope it's true.

Either way, bohemian Rhapsody will have three part vocals in one, and be part of some gay S&M fantasy only Auspie Kalyx and D-Mac will enjoy.

You know what rubs me the wrong way? Activision is pumping these out every 5 seconds, but the prices won't come down on the older titles. I just got Lego Rockband for $20. GH5 and Smash hits... both still $50.

to be fair, both SH and GH5 have been part of massive deals, so you could have got them for good prices. I mean, I got GH5, a guitar, a mic, and the soul of two of the developers for less than the cost of the game itself.

I mean, the souls are damaged goods, and I don't like the GH guitars, but that;'s not the point.

Massive deals where? I know GH5 came with GH:VH, but that was US only.

Like every fucking store ever for the first three months post-release?

Some pre-release?

Maybe those were states-only too, but there was a metric fuckton of deals.

Never seen sales on them. It's weird. Some games are never coming down in price.

Usually, it's only niche games that end up like that. The first GH was like that for a long time, because it was totally a "niche" deal. More recent titles should be like ten bucks each in a year.
I think part of it is all those deals ended up front-ending the market.

I hear you.

King of Fighters XII is solid game, but should have been an arcade title, since it has more flash than substance, IMO. Plus, no story or bosses? WTF? Still, it's $60 here. Game came out a year ago. Meanwhile SF4 is $20 just about everywhere.

Amazon has GH5 for 30 or the bundle for 60. Smash Hits for 27. It's not quite as cheap as LRB and TBRB, but it's only about ten bucks more.

no clue if that helps any, but I was curious.

$40 on amazon.ca

Smash hits is actually hella cheap suddenly. $8. :wtf:

Alice Cooper "No More Mr. Nice Guy"
Alter Bridge "Ties That Bind"
Atreyu "Ravenous"
Bad Brains "Re-Ignition"
Blue Oyster Cult "Burnin' For You"
Bush "Machinehead"
Deep Purple "Burn" (Remastered LP version)
The Edgar Winter Group "Free Ride"
Five Finger Death Punch "Hard To See"
George Thorogood and the Destroyers "Move It On Over (Live)"
Lynyrd Skynyrd "Call Me The Breeze (Live)"
Pantera "I'm Broken"
Poison "Unskinny Bop"

The Runaways "Cherry Bomb"
Steve Vai "Speed"
Strung Out "Calling"
Styx "Renegade"
Sum 41 "Motivation"
Them Crooked Vultures "Scumbag Blues"
The White Stripes "Seven Nation Army"

This could possibly be the worst setlist in GH history.

Bad brains, awesome

Need that song in Rock Band.

Amazed to see them put the entirety of 2112 in there, it's an awesome song one of my favs by the band but aside from that nothing else on the setlist screams "buy this game to me."

Yeah, all that shitty metal. Some Metallica would really put it over the top.

Will buy this just for 2112.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6272285...p%3Btitle%3B10

First million copies of WoR will be bundled with Soundgarden's "new" album, which is a retrospective with a single previously unreleased cut. you also get it a week earlier than its official release. North America Only, it seems.

Don't care, but someone might.

I'm totally going to buy this game for the cd that I would otherwise have just pirated except that I don't give a shit about soundgarden except for blackhole sun which is only an ok song anyway run on sentence.

See? if I can help one snarky Canadian make jokes, it's all worth it.

Garden rules.

You have a corrupting influence. ;)

.

Meh, like 5 songs on there worth a salt.

Yeah about 8

Horrid. Outside of 2112, which will be awesome, there are like 4 songs that I'm interested in.

Pretty pumped for Band of Skulls though.

I think those are the ones Kalyx thinks we should be excited about. In which case he can fuck off.

Pumped for some Dillinger escape plan. Would much rather prefer 43% burnt though.

Why would I give a shit about your excitement? What the fuck, Figs?

Relax, I was just joshin.

I hate Joshins.

Demo is up on Xbox live.

Eh, basically identical to GH5 with a story mode added. Rental only.

Quest mode seems incredible gay, not bothered by this whatsoever. Atleast they have cleared up the screen clutter.

What? They scoring it out of 10 stars now?

Can't wait for RB3.

6.0 from IGN. Ouch

Kalyx is gonna spazz.

lol

The review seemed rather accurate for a 6. Though the "perks" system sort of intrigues me. Probably should stay with MW2 though.

Rented it. It's brand new so hopefully I can get the Metallica import for free. It works with GH5 I think.

Redeemed the code off of the Warriors of Rock manual and it worked. Got the GH Metallica import for free. :cool:

Now I can play the greatest band ever on multiple games.

Yes, yes it does. And I have it and you don't. :cool:
