And 5:15...
But I'll take some of the tracks happily. |

I played a few tracks with Figgy today and an idea came to me from on high: the Wii version of RB should have a mic large enough house a Wiimote. Using the motion sensing controls you can then hold the Wii-Mic closer to the TV(audience), prompting the crowd to sing along. I don't know how strong the wireless nature of the Wiimote is in regards to taking vocals, so the Mic shell should have a cord. In the end it would look ugly, but that's just an idea that popped in my head.
That drumset above looks absolutely scary. [/WTF?!] My vocal work is getting better, not great; I still find myself screwing up easy songs. Last edited by Kalyx triaD; 07-11-2008 at 06:56 PM. |

I havn't tried vocals on hard or expert yet, but I'm 5-starring every song I do on medium, first try. Just wanna get the medium and easy tour achievements then I'll move up.
And I've improved drasticly on guitar, since I last played kalyx in guitar gero III, so I'd like try a tug a war against him on RB. |

Anytime. Did you catch my ad-libs during our play session? I was wondering if it got through while we were playing.

Anyone else hate suffragette city with a passion now?
I failed htis on expert like a dozen times in a row, then I breezed through the next tier with no problem. I mean, motherfucker. Also, I can play that motherfucker on guitar (Except the solo, but I can get 100% on that like 90% of the time), and it is not that difficult. |

I hate Don't Fear the Reaper on Expert Drums. 5-starred every other song on that tier in career mode, and that song is blocking my way to the final set of songs.

All I have left to beat on expert guitar is GGaHT and the Metallica DLC. I can probably get by GGaHT at this point with starpower, but those metallica solos are fucking ridiculous.

I'm stuck on Orange Crush on expert drums. I keep getting a little better every time...but I just haven't been playing the game at all.

Just made the transition to hard on drums, and already failed a song on second tier. Think it was the hives?
And after making it to the second half of the second solo of GGaHT on guitar, I retract my previous statement about being able to beat it soon. |

I'm still on Medium Drums. I want to step it up, but since my foot keeps spazzing on GGAHT, I'll probably continue on with Medium for a while. Feels so weird only playing some of the notes.

Dude, tell me about it. GGaHT on medium drums should be on the last tier, just for nonstop ridiculousness of the final stretch. I actually paused the game, and rested my leg twice during that sequence. Thats how I ended up beating it. And still I managed to only just scrape by.
Don't wanna even think what its gonna be like on hard. At least I'm freaking killing the vocals. |

I might just play all the DLC on medium drums first, before I continue hard. I have 173 songs and have barely touched the dlc for drums. Maybe by the time I do them all, I'll have a breakthrough and be able to tackle hard more effeciently.
Are these music/rythem games like that for anyone else? Like, I don't get better a little bit at a time. It's like every once and a while, I pick up the guitar, and I'm twice as good as I was the day before. One day, I simply "got" how to use the orange button. There was no gradual improvement. I just "got it" in one moment. And it was the same in learning cascades and zigzags. |

Wow. You actually have more DLC than I do. Most people think I'm crazy to have as much as I do. I've got 139 songs counting the disc tracks.
I remember I was at an impass on GH and 2 before breaking through to Hard and Expert. I never really bothered on 3, because I just didn't like the tier that was slowing me down enough to continue. Rock Band's easier. but occsionally gives me trouble. I still have trouble with some of the solos, including Sandman on Hard, and haven't beat the Hard Tier yet, because GGAHT is insane Now I'm sort of in the same place on drums, because it's new to me. I mean, I've wanted to be a drummer for years, but I didn't think I could do the limb separation bit, so before this, I'd never bothered. I've hit a snag right now (Again, GGAHT), and so I've mostly been playing DLC. Eventually, I'll get through it and work my way up to the hard tier, with or without more snags. The only thing that isn't that hard for me most of the time is vocals. Some songs fuck me up (Reptilia), and some songs I don't know well enough (Once again, GGAHT), but mostly, I can sight sing well enough to bullshit well enough until I can learn the songs. The one that confuses me is the OK Go song, because I should be able to trounce that. Nothing Short of Expert is a problem for me as a whole though, because I started out with a lot of experience in that field. I doubt I'm ever gonna be an ace. My fingers aren't fast enough for flawless plays of tough songs, and my hands mimick each other, which means there's probably a finite cap on what I can do on drums. But in the meanwhile, I do improve with time. |

Also, one thing I hate is how I'll do five tiers without a problem, then get to a song I can't sightread. This is more a flaw with me than the game, but after I've done it so effortlessly, it pisses me off to have to go into practice mode and work on a single song. Especially the Bowie one, because I nailed the other songs in that tier (Even Black Hole Sun, which wanted to kill me) without any practice or whatnot.
I understand the importance of practice. I work on body memory all the time with guitar work, and fake guitar (Or fake drums, or fake bass) isn't really much different. You have to teach your hands to respond the way you want them to, but in a video game, I like playing on the fly. On the plus side, the drum set is really helping me learn a lot of the things that have kept me away from the drums. I think if I ever make it to expert (And I probably will), I can probably actually teach myself everything else I need to know. Which is fucking awesome. |

I'm very surprised I've made it as far as I have with the drums. I've never done anything with a drum kit that wasn't horrible sounding. But even if I am on expert, I'd still be a pretty horrible drummer.
I still miss a ton of notes, but I think it has to do with the pads that I made for my drums to muffle the sound. |

Well I have a lot of DLC for a couple reasons. One being music is one of my greatest passions in life. I was raised in a musicaly passionate household, so these rythem games get a lot more DLC love than any other game. And on top of that, I have one of the most broad tastes in music that you will ever see. So there isn't a lot of DLC there, in which I don't enjoy the actual song.
All that combined with the fact that I get paid well enough to drop 20 bucks on microsoft points each week, equals 173 songs on my game. |

Are you a musician? Because the guys at Harmonix are, and I think anyone who's actually gone through any form of musical learning would call bullshit on that sort of logic.

lol.. wow.. they could have picked a lot better songs for the NIN pack. Last will be pretty badass, Burn is a horrible choice for Rock Band. Just.. I don't see the point in it at all. Capital G, while being an amazing song, isn't suited for Rock Band.. but at least it's better than Burn. It will be alright for drumming and vocals.. -maybe- guitar. But they could have picked a lot better songs for Rock Band.

I love how the beginning of Capital G always reminds me of The Way You Make Me Feel by Michael Jackson.

Yeah I cut some mouse pads for my drums and I notice some hit pickup problems...but it does well enough. You do have to hit it harder, but it is still a lot quieter in my opinion.
