Big week.

Definitely getting:

Bad to the Bone
All Right Now
Offspring pack (though, disappointed it's not the BIG pack we saw a while ago... I want the Crazy Taxi songs, dammit)


... anyway, I wonder if Harmonix found out that the '20 Free' list leaked and changed it up. Just throwing that out there.
 
I'm going to be getting:

Offspring Pack
Bad to the Bone
Push It

I tell you, they have been pretty good about the DLC. Most weeks there are at least 1 or 2 songs I want.

Dude, the Crazy Taxi songs are EXACTLY what I want too.
 
Has it ever been said if the 20 free songs will be available as a paid or free download down the line?

That is, being available to people who purchased the game used?

Nothing has been said, but I think its safe to assume these songs should be available to purchase for those who stuck with RB1.

I really don't think so. They're offering up the 20 songs as a reason to buy it new.

A lot of games are doing it, like Gears 2. There will be a free 5 map pack available day 1 that are reworkings of the 5 most popular maps from the first game.

Smart move on the developers part.

As far as this coming Tuesday goes...

I am looking at the three pack, Stop!, Push it, and the rest will depend on how I am feeling at the time.

If you aren't familiar with that Stop song then go here and click play on the first option: http://search.playlist.com/tracks/Stop! against me

Fun on vocals and the drums sound like a good time too. In general it makes for a fun song.

indeed. As soon as I saw that there was a one-time use code, I went ahead and bought it new.
 
just got rock band 2 a few days ago and transferred over the songs from part 1.

any point of keeping the first rock band? or should i just sell/trade it?

IF you've got friends who want to export the RB1 songs, and you've got all the achievements you want out of it, there's really no other reason to keep it.
 
[quote name='R1V3R5']"Cream & Bastards Rise" - Harvey Danger (160 / $2)

Holy shit!

Runs to get $2.[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't advise putting that $2 into the disc drive.
 
[quote name='Rocko']Hm. I like how I just lost 1600 points for the RHCP album and it won't let me download it.

Awesome.[/quote]



did you just try it today?


I had a friend who bought it an hour or so after it came out Tuesday morning, wouldn't let him download. He tried Wednesday morning when he woke up and it worked fine.



It's kinda making me not wanna buy it with people having trouble with it, though.
 
Man, I like Metallica, but fuck "Battery" in the ass. I got to the end of a 6 song West Coast Setlist (guitar on hard) and failed at 71% twice, and I lost the progress for the 5 songs before. I'll have to switch difficulties for this song, I think.
 
Noice.
Just got the "Buy a real instrument already!" and "AN-I-MAL!" achievements. :cool:

If anyone can help me out with the vocals, bass and guitar challenges, that'd be swell.
 
Going for The Beat Goes On achievement on the Drum Trainer is driving me crazy. That and the Iron Bladder achievement are the only two things keeping me from 1000/1000.
 
[quote name='Jesus_S_Preston']What's "The Beat Goes On"?[/quote]
Check your achievements?

Hey X, help me get those vocal, bass and band impossible challenge achievements. :cool:
 
I'm always up for playing if people need band members. Expert Guitar/Bass on probably 98% of the songs. Expert Drums on probably 65%, although I rarely play drums. Not going to sing :) Noone wants that.
 
[quote name='Jesus_S_Preston']What's "The Beat Goes On"?[/quote]In the Drum Trainer, there's 2 sections that grant you achievements: Fill Trainer and Beat Trainer. They are pretty much what they sound like, a section for drum fills and one for basic/advanced beats. The achievement requires you do all 76 different beats at 100 BPM (normal speed) or half at 180 BPM - and, going the all for 100 BPM route, about 5 are holding me back (the last 2-3 and some of the "Disco" ones).

[quote name='JohnnyFoxDarko']Hey X, help me get those vocal, bass and band impossible challenge achievements. :cool:[/quote]How far along are you in each respective category?

Oh, and what's in it for me? :cool:
 
[quote name='JohnnyFoxDarko']Can't we just go into your band challenges and do them again with me there?
or does it not work like that?[/quote]The system works like that, yes.
 
RichMeister, thanks for recommending 'Stop'. Catchy song. Getting that, the Offspring pack, and 'Bad to the Bone' for sure.
 
Picked up the Ion drum kit from Gamestop on Friday. Apparently I was the first in-store to get it, as it was coming up as "not released" in their system. After a few phone calls and a swipe of the Edge, I was on my way with the box.

Unfortunately, I have to clear some space for it though.. will see if I can set it up tomorrow (maybe tonight, who knows!).
 
Still haven't received my drums back from EA, and it's been a week and a half.

I can now pass about 35% of songs on hard guitar, so I'm proud of myself.

I'd like to DL push it, self esteem, gone away, but I'm scared that they'll end up as part of the free 20 songs, so I'll wait.

Those are not going to be part of the free 20. Shit would hit the fan if that happened and Harmonix isn't that stupid.

But the free songs have to be up for paid DL anyway to people who don't have codes, right? I thought I read in some list that Push It will be one of the free DL songs too.

The whole code thing is totally gay. They should just make the songs free DLs from the store. But they're doing the code thing to encourage people to buy the game new.
 
Yes, the 20 free will be up for people to buy... but AFTER they put them up.

He's right, people would flip shit if they announced the 20 free songs and they were ones we'd already paid for. Literally flip shit.

Harmonix isn't that stupid. It's one of two things: One, that list was BS as the 20 songs. Obviously, they *were* DLC, but not the free ones. Two, that *was* the list, and Harmonix saw it got leaked and decided to change what the free songs were.

Either way... until an announcement, buy away and have no fear.

[quote name='JohnnyFoxDarko']It's pretty weird how the bonus songs that were labeled as a false rumor are now showing up as DLC. :whistle2:k[/QUOTE]

Those songs might have gotten leaked but they were mistakenly associated with the free 20 list instead of regular DLC.
 
[quote name='buttasuperb']where?[/QUOTE]
Gamestop using the 20% off used games & accessories coupon. After that and Edge, it was $69.99 + tax.

EA has had my drums for two weeks now. Last Sunday (not yesterday), they said that I would get a tracking number in 2 business days. That didn't happen, so I emailed them back on Friday and they said I would have to wait an additional 5 to 6 business for a tracking number.

This is ridiculous it's like I should of just said fuck it and bought the Rock Band 2 drums.
 
Its looking cool but is definitely slow. My friends will get a kick out of this too.

I want to know if my custom art works on those figures, then I'll get mine done. If I can have my custom guitar then I'm pretty much sold. It would just take me awhile to figure out which set of clothing I'd go with.
 
Figurine is ehh.
Gotta change his clothes.
