Actually, I think the reason why it was slow was because I was playing a PS3 version maybe.

DLC three packs will be slightly cheaper than GH's. Individula songs will mostly be 1.99, while some will be .99 or 3.99 No word on full album costs yet.


Not bad, but what songs would cost 3.99? 2112 maybe. I'd pay for that.

Yeah, I am kinda disappointed after watching some videos today of people that got the game already. The guitar parts look pretty lame all around. That alone made me unsure of whether or not I would bother with the game. A group of people would be fun, but on your own? Eh.. didn't seem worth it.

Might just be on hard as they said hard on RB was like medium on GH with the orange key thrown in.

It doesn't really matter anyhow, as they've stated that a lot of the DLC will step up in difficulty, for those that play at that level.

And not to mention that they didn't just have the luxury of getting songs that had awesome guitar. Everyone's talking about how easy the guitar is, there's also drums, bass, and vocals to worry about.

I've seen some videos of both hard and expert. There is a guy that posted nothing but expert videos and they are just full of lame chords with barely any solos. Or it seems like their idea of a solo just doesn't look fun to play.

Even with GH3's retarded use of triple chords to make the game harder, they at least had just some badass solos in their songs.

In a comparison video between GH3 and RB, they took some identical songs and put them side by side both on hard, and RB was incredibly easy. I don't know why they had to dumb it down. It's like.. they already did an awesome job before, why did they change how they did things?

Basically, I think it would be a ton of fun with a group of people, or if you were just doing the drums or vocals on your own. But Guitar/Bass... meh. I guess if they release stand-alone peripherals and the game, it would be easier just to use the old guitar to save having to get a new one for something you might not use a lot.. and then get the drums and mic seperate.

Edit: The most promising song -so far- looks to be Boston - Foreplay/Long Time

It's the only one I've seen so far with some good solos.

Edit 2: This is being reported as the hardest guitar chart in the game. Which, other than the freebird-like up/down parts, it doesn't look that challenging. Not saying it doesn't look fun to play, because it does... but - that's the hardest?

This is the problem Rock Band has faced since the start. That maybe the hardest guitar song, but whats the hardest band song? That's what they've aimed for and because Guitar Hero has made us harderned over 4 games, (this being the 5th) we are going to judge it guitar-wise.

I know enough people to play it full band style, but will everyone? At least everyone who can afford all the add-ons?

I reckon it will bomb. I really hope it won't and it will kill Guitar Hero and have full bands to love it.... But I doubt it, the console market is too casual these days for this type of game....

I'm so DL'n the Metallica Pack and "Juke Box Hero" like today.

The Rock Band Guitar takes a few verses to get used to. Yes the guitar portions aren't nearly as challenging as GH3 stuff (or even GH1 stuff) and I've only ever played on Expert. This however may be a break for some of you guys who find Expert on GH too frustrating to attempt; Rock Band's guitar portions are a laid back experience (Warning: some songs will surprise you). The mic works when you plug in an XB controller as well, so essentially you'll have five controllers hooked up to your XB at one time. Thankfully RB comes with a USB hub that fits four ports leaving two of the stock ports on the console free. RB Guitar, Drums, and Mic are all wired. It'll remind you of last generation with all the wires going about. Harmonix says it kepts the controllers wired to reduce cost. Atleast the Guitar could have been wired, the drum set just sits there and there's something naturally oldschool about the mic having a cord anyway.

Guitar:
The buttons will be the first thing that makes you go, "uh...ok..." They're more tabs than buttons and feels stickier than your average GH guitar at first. A few songs will break it in but it'll never feel quiet familiar. While playing a song you'll rarely notice and I nailed songs in the late 90 percentiles so it doesn't hurt your skill. The five mini-frets at the end of the neck will take some getting used to. You're gonna think you can play it during solo sections but your fingers will think different. You're gonna over-jump notes alot. I practiced the solo on "Wanted Dead or Alive" to get the feel for them. You don't have to strum during these sections (pretty gay, IMO) but you could if you wanted (just time it well; hit a lick and then strumming it will count as a miss). The effects switch is cute, if and when you get a chance to toggle it. And atleast three effects (of five) don't sound terribly different.

Mic:
Works like any other mic I guess. Your voice comes off on your TV speakers as you sing along with the song. With the XB controller you could adjust how loud you want the real singer to be as well as yourself. Think you got a track down, sing with no back-up!

Drums:
F'n awesome.

More to come.

I got this as well.

Kalyx is right in that if you can five star all the GH songs on expert this will be kinda boring. But I've beaten hard and over half of expert on GH 3 and am having a blast. A big part of it is that the notecharts are just better made here. In GH, if its easy, its boring. In rockband, if its easy, its still fun. Which is great, because GH kind of feels more like work than fun at times.

Drums:
F'n awesome

Mic:
It's singing. What else is there to say.

The DLC is supposedly harder, to please the GH masochists. About to DL it so I'll hit back here afterwards.

I agree on GH vs RB note charts. That's why I love Harmonix.

Granted, I'm not one of these assholes who has to 5 star Jordan....Or TTFAF.

Ok, the Metallica DLC is friggan hard. But it doesn't seem impossible, like some of the harder GH stuff. Failing makes me want to try it again til I get it, instead of quit in despair and anger. Can't get by the intro to wolfmother, but thats probably cause I'm not used to the HO/PO's and that essentially is what the intro is.

Fortunate Son, Jukebox Hero were fun but won't challenge the GH hardcore at all. Gonna try the police pack when I return.

I wish this had come out earlier when I was still somewhat interested and at a lower price. I'm completely over Guitar Hero now and the only reason I wanted this game was for the drums. I saw someone playing it with the drums today...

Looks like I'll be keeping my $180.

You sound remorseful that you're not spending money on something you clearly wouldn't like.

Anyway, I'm digging the game so far, though I've only played a couple of times.

I started a multiplayer tour, and they hit me with a setlist where I don't know the lyrics to most of the songs. DAMMIT!

The drums on the Metallica songs are impossible.

On the subject of HO/PO: You pretty much have to guess which notes you can do that on since they no longer have that white cap. Its a common sense thing, I guess.

Idunno, I had a little trouble recognizing the HO/POs at first, but now I can clearly see them after playing a while.

Also, singing is a llot more fun then I thought it would be. Thats pretty much all I've done in online play, since everyone else is playing guitar and drums. I'm doing great on hard but havn't tried expert yet.

Went to friends house yesterday who had this game, we formed the full band. I was the singer for the group. Took a little getting used to at first, but after awhile was pretty easy. We switched it up a little, and seemed like people had more trouble with singing at first, but once you get over the learning curve not to hard. But yeah, most of my friends were to big of pussies to sing in front of everyone, so got stuck with it. We played for probably close to 3 1/2 or 4 hours, so my voice was shot after so long. But I still kept going cause I am hardcore. Only complaint I had is we would do mystery set lists and seemed to get a lot of the same songs. Like we did Blitzkrieg Pop and Sabatoge way to many times last night, thankfully they were two of my favorite songs in the game.

In regards to online play, can I just say how much I love being able to choose your difficulty AFTER the song is picked? GH really needs a patch for that.

Ahhh, okay.

I was doing vocals.

It was in London as well, somewhere like in the sixth set, I believe. Somewhere around there.

Seriously, vocals are probably my favorite thing to do here.

I should try vocals on hard or expert. Be funny to see if I can stack up to my own reputation.

Dumb question, but is there any way to download songs through the game itself? Seems it'd be more convenient than through XBLM.

May I also state that I LOVE the fact that you can download songs individually instead of altogether in a 3-pack. I don't think there was a single songpack where I wanted all three, but I DL'ed it anway cause I REALLY wanted one of the songs. Fantastic decision on harmonix's part.
