Rock Band

[ASR]

Okay, so I'm a fan of Guitar Hero 3. I never owned 1 or 2, but I definitely played them a ton. I bought 3 when it came out, never expecting to have enough money to blow on Rock Band.

Welllll, I just got Rock Band for Channukah. I had 4 buddies over last night and we spent over 5 hours in a gloomy basement playing Rock Band and it was a total blast. We were laughing every second, or getting hardcore and crap like that. It's the ultimate party game - plus, it's really fun making your own characters although it is pretty limited.
We made our own band and switched around a bunch. At one point, we set the drumset to expert and had the 5th person (only 4 were able to play at a time) control just the drumset pedal.
The singing stuff also makes for great fun, too.

It's awesome that you can use the GH3 guitar, seeing as its wireless while the Rock Band stuff is not.

I don't think I've had that much fun in a while. I'm really good at the drums, which makes sense since I'm a drummer. It's still very different. No rebound on the sticks, which will probably bug a lot of drummers. The whole lot of us (my friends and I) are in the school drumline together (and play drumset on our free time a lot) and we got over it, but I suspect some hardcore drummers won't.

Now, this morning, since everyone was finally gone, I was able to play single-player for a bit. Just as fun, because that's the more serious side to the game. It's just as in-depth as GH3's career mode, and it's different than the multiplayer Create-A-Band career mode also featured in the game - the whole experience is very diverse.

A guy I know has it...

It's sad because he really doesn't have any friends...

If I had a 360 and the 170 bucks to shell out for it, i would buy it in a heartbeat.

But I don't, so I can't, so I won't.

[ASR]

Oh, this game would be worthless without friends.

[guitaristjoe]

I know right?

So despite the fact that this kid has a PS3 and a 120 inch HD projection TV with surround sound and theater seats, I really feel bad for him.

Damn.  I just read that over. Damn.

[ASR]

You're sick.

[Dr.]

Go be friends with him.

For the love of god.

<3

I was given this by a worker at circuit city for doing them a few favors and helping them sell some stuff.

[ASR]

Define favors.

[NovaMan XP]

And stuff.

[Dr.]

NONE O' YOUR BUSINESS FELLARS.

And no. NOT SEXUAL.




Queers.

[Snare]

Did he slap you around during?

You should tell an adult.

[Dr.]

No. Can I have your virginity?

[Mikero]

Ugh.

You people.

[ChaosVortex]

You people?

You people!?

YOU PEOPLE!?

YOU PEOPLE!?!?

[Jakey]

I played Rock Band at Best Buy tonight with a couple buddies, it was pretty tight.  It's kind of hard to keep the stick ON the pad when you hit it, I guess maybe because I was standing up.  The demo didn't have a bass pedal or a microphone but it was pretty sweet anyways.

MegaMan Matrix is the horniest website ever.

[Mikero]

Yeah but only seemingly gay but not gay horny, which is exhausting to look at.

[Jakey]

My friends do the "gay gay sex lol" thing a lot.  I've stopped forcing laughter for awhile now.

[guitaristjoe]

I've realized that the only fun thing about the game is the drums.

Everything else can be found in other games.

[ASR]

Doesn't mean that stuff isn't fun.

[Johncarllos]

I can't wait to get it for Wii later this summer!

[ASR]

And then send it in for a replacement because they accidentally shipped them in mono-sound format only!

[Johncarllos]

HEY, I'm getting my replacement package in the mail this month!

[yuri]

Oh, this game would be worthless without friends.

Tell my friend that he is like 425 in drumming on the game. He makes videos on youtube. His youtube name is hobo jamael.

[Johncarllos]

WOW FOUR TWENTY FIVE.

And you mean

Tell this person I kind of know from school that he is like 4250 in drumming on the game. He makes videos on youtube. His youtube name is hobo jamael.

[Mikero]

Oh, this game would be worthless without friends.

Tell my friend that he is like 425 in drumming on the game. He makes videos on youtube. His youtube name is hobo jamael.

That is still worthless.

[ASR]

...agreed wholeheartedly.

[Johncarllos]

Think about this: Rock Band on Wii means a wii game with voice chat.

[ASR]

No it doesn't.

[Johncarllos]

BUT YOU HAVE TO HEAR THE SINGER'S BEAUTIFUL VOICE!

[ChaosVortex]

No it doesn't.

Yeah, I was thinking about Brawl after reading that.

[NovaMan XP]

Thank God Brawl doesn't have voice chat.

All it'd be for is for trash talking. I mean, come on, are you gonna have a conversation with someone while you're kicking their ass?

[Johncarllos]

I prefer chatting with people better than me.

[NovaMan XP]

Still see no point.

[ChaosVortex]

There's still possible trash talk with the custom taunt thing, but that's only with a friendly brawl.

That kinda got annoying in MKDS, racing someone with a ##### for an emblem.

[NovaMan XP]

Sorry about that. ROFL NOT REALLY

I don't see why anyone thinks its funny.

[Mikero]

I don't even want to have a verbal conversation on the phone, let alone the internet.

"Euugh I like Rock Band"
"I like Rock Band too"
"Yeah Rock Band good"
"Yah"
"Yah"

[Abominator]

No-one that I've ever had to talk to while playing a game has left me with a positive impression.

[ChaosVortex]

I'm taking that by every possible meaning, whether online or not.

In which case, that is sad.

I'm sure there are good instances online. My friend played Halo while someone was on his team was playing "Bananas" on the headset. Everyone started singing. Of course, there are always the random online fags...

[Mikero]

Yeah, the ones who sing banana songs with strangers online.

[yuri]

Oh, this game would be worthless without friends.

Tell my friend that he is like 425 in drumming on the game. He makes videos on youtube. His youtube name is hobo jamael.

That is still worthless.

I don't know how he plays it, it gets so boring.

[ChaosVortex]

Try using different punctuation marks instead of just one period. You're not making much sense.

[Majikn]

"I don't know how he plays. It-it gets so boring."

[Mikero]

"I don't know how he plays it, it gets so boring."

[Majikn]

Stop ruining my fun.

[Fatso]

I thought that was what this forum was all about!


Drat. I seem to have improperly assessed this forum. Don't mind me *scurries to lab*

[dzx9]

I freakin love this game. My roommate and I accidently play for hours perfecting songs. I can't listen to music without breaking it down now! Haha

[Mikero]

You're five steps from REALLY breaking music down, then.

[dzx9]

I mean breaking it down into game keys.

[Johncarllos]

I got like that with guitar hero for a while...


'Till now.

[Mikero]

I mean breaking it down into game keys.

Exactly. Five steps away.

[Neo Arcadian Hero]

I can't wait for Rock Band to come out for Wii

JUNE 22ND!
