ROCK BAND: Don't post here.

Well, shit. I guess the B:RB game sucks... Good to know.
Now that we have that cleared up, the next soapbox I'll get on will be about how much B:RB sucks. Everybody else should use this time to prepare their rebuttal. I think I'll start with 'slow and boring' and move from there.

No, you're just taking a game that had a lot of time, effort, design, and heart put into and just calling it "slow" because it doesn't compare to something that is challenging for you. If you're the type of person who only plays for the challenge, then more power to you. But you're missing out.
is it
The initial post was in response to everyone wondering why the Beatles game didn't sell enormously more, and I was stating my opinion that it was because even though the Beatles are popular, there is no challenge there so you'll lose out on a lot of the players that are into that kind of thing. Following up, in the same post, I also stated my opinion that the fact that there are only songs from one single band also makes it seem a bit boring.
I just think adding Beatles songs as DLC for RB2 would make a lot more sense. I'd actually buy that - or even letting the songs be exported into RB2. But when myself (and my friends) get together for Rock Band sessions we like to jump back and forth from all types of genres and having to switch discs just to play one band seems a little ridiculous
Yes.
Playing through the medley is great.
Nope. Not seeing it. Where is there specific mention that B:RB probably sold poorly due to many people finding it less than challenging. Maybe the second post on the subject:
No. Still not seeing it. Shall we try the third post?
Ahh... Found it in the second sentence in the third post, following a bunch of stuff mainly about how slow and boring it would be because the music is slow and boring.
And the reason is buried in a poorly structured sentence and is about how a separate game of a similar nature isn't that interesting because of a lack of song selection.
Problem solved!

fffffff so conflicted
on one hand 17 dollars, and i still haven't played flower
on the other hand the medley
It's Abbey Road.
Edit: Also, thank you PA RB thread for reminding me that yes, some people do just have wrong opinions.
10 minutes and then a not-so-veiled threat to Kotick, you mean.
Do not engage the Watermelons.
Slow = not challenging.
Not sure if you weren't aware of that, but a slow simple song in a music game is not going to be hard.
You seem really upset with the fact that the Beatles aren't that big of a deal.
And here I thought you were smart enough to threaten him from the beginning. It should only be saved for the final step for people convinced that nothing can go wrong with GH equipment.

Well, I'm keeping the message around. In case anything happens in the next 25 or so days.

If you're talking about maximumzero, then it'd be unlikely. He forswore all rhythm games because they all had music he hated. I think DJ Hero might qualify as something he'd like.

I hate this argument. I don't give a shit about the Beatles and had never heard 90% of the songs on B:RB until I bought it. After playing the game and learning the songs I really don't see what the big deal is at all. I mean I definitely didn't dislike most of them but I really don't get why everybody worships them like their songs are the greatest songs ever made, lol. How influential or groundbreaking they were when they were released means absolutely nothing about how good the songs are now... and they're OK now. Sure, the Beatles were maybe important for music history but looking back at their MUSIC now I just don't see how it's miles ahead of everything else - it's just pop music. It's catchy and fun and not very musically intricate or advanced... and how groundbreaking it was has nothing to do with that.

Back on topic, though, TBH I haven't played B:RB since the week I bought it. There's just not enough reason for me to put B:RB with 50 songs in it instead of RB2 with 500 songs on it. They're not 10x better than all other songs ;-P If it weren't for the vocal harmonies it's possible I'd never play it again *shrug*
They were definitely not writing pop music in the later half of their group's history.

Not that it means I like the game. I find it pretty boring. The songs, while I love them, just aren't that interesting to play for me.
And the game is garish and hurts my eyes.
It apparently advertises "Foo Fighters Pack 03" coming on Nov. 3rd, the same day as the Greatest Hits CD. It also says "Play 4 more of thier Greatest Hits!"
I personally am hoping for this to be true, but jeez, thats a ton of Foo Fighters...
But yeah, it's a lot of Foo. Obviously Foo Fighters stuff must sell well and frankly, it's pretty fun to play on all instruments.
Also, I highly doubt we'll be seeing Foo Fighters in Guitar Hero anymore due to the Kurt Cobain incident, so the more Foo in Rock Band the better.
5 of the "Greatest Hits" that Rock Band doesn't have, and 7 if you count the previously unreleased tracks, and 8 if you think there's a chance of putting an acoustic version of a song that's already on-disc up for DLC.
Best Of You, The Pretender, Big Me.
The ad specifically said 4 pack.
So Im going with those 3, and the new single "Wheels" that is on the radio constantly.
