View Full Version : I Want Rb To Be Delayed
gh2masterwellalmost
08-17-2007, 01:00 PM
(For the record here, I get £30 a month pocket money, what with me being 14 years old, plus im bored of Gears of War Rainbow Six and some other games so trade in can be done, but here goes)
I hear Rock Band may be rushed for a Europe December release. No thank you!! I own a Wii and 360 and I'm quaking in my boots over having enough money/trade ins for a couple of games when i want many.
E.G. Bioshock... (the demo didnt impress me at first, but on reflection, it wasnt a game, it was art)
Halo 3 (I've already cancelled my Legendary Edition pre order...)
Super Paper Mario (still not out over here)
Smash Bros Brawl
Fable 2 (hopefully it'll slip).
plus there's the "minor neccesities" e.g. Metroid 3, PGR4.
Anyone else in my dilemma... where you actually wanna be able to afford the whole pack and not have to settle for one instrument only to lose money in the long term.

I just want the game. And I want it rather sooner than later.
But what I really hope is that Europe gets it at almost the same time as the US. I don't want to wait longer when the game is actually somewhere else. I don't want to see HMX already releasing loads of DLC when the game isn't even out where I live.
Yeah, delay the US version if you have to, but bring the game out worldwide at the (almost) exact date. That's what I would like. I don't care about a week or two, but not months later!!
I can't understand how anyonw would want to wait any longer for such a game like Rockband. If you don't have the money, then buy it later. Or buy it first and buy the other games later.

Rock Band isn't going to be rushed.. They're almost done with the game.. I'm sure Harmonix wouldn't release a game that's unfinished or rushed.
And, for the other games.. I would like to get them.. but as long as I have Rock Band, I don't even care. I'll probably get others for Christmas/birthday anyway.

I'm going to get Guitar Hero 3 on release. I'm going to get Rock Band for Christmas. Time to save money. :) I doubt that Harmonix will release one of the most hyped games on the internet as a sloppy, rushed mess. Have faith in those who have never let us down before. :)

how are you losing money in the long term?
quit spending your money on all those minor games, sell all that you have, then get rock band, it's not that hard if you want it bad enough.
it'll be worth it. think about it, most games end. once you beat them that's it. rock band will have new music coming to download, plus when you have friends over, even though you may have mastered the game, it will be a totally new experience with each different group of people you play with.
it'll be worth it to buy all the stuff.
i have a friend who didn't care much for GH, but he is interested in playing the drums.
Just like i'm not much into karaoke revolution, but since singing is in RB, i'm going to do that as well. it'll also be fun to play the guitar and sing at the same time, i'm looking forward to that challenge !

no cos i dont want people to have already experienced games like Bioshock or already be on live like RB or Halo 3.
and yh its selfish. so's capitalism, but its the society we live in today.
And considering the games on that list have cemented release dates, and RB doesn't not only do i want a delay - its gonna happen.
illusion856
08-17-2007, 01:44 PM
alright easy way to solve this one just let it come out and then whenever you get the money and wanna buy it just pretend that it comes out on that day and go get it :P
and yeah it is selfish to wish more waiting upon other people that could buy it immediately just because you want something else first and dont wanna be out of money when it comes out. just gotta decide what you reeaaallllyyy want more.
bioshock and halo 3 are gonna be good games but if i were you i'd make sure i always keep enough money saved to buy rockband and then while youre waiting if you get the money for one of the others then pick it up.

08-17-2007, 02:02 PM
As long as it comes out in the US before christmas, I don't really care.
I personally think RB won't be released worldwide until very early 08. Peripheral shortages?
Most likely.

I actually feel the complete opposite, I would love for Rock Band to come out tomorrow, and I think most people feel that way. I haven't heard much about UK releases, it has been speculated that it wouldn't be out until next year, I think that makes sense. Wouldn't that be enough of a delay for you to get it.
Also why do you need to buy it the day it comes out? Wait until you have money and then buy it, there is no shame in buying a game you want when you can.

08-17-2007, 04:07 PM
If it came out tomorrow, I'd def. throw down for the whole set. I can live on ramon and rice until the end of the month. Also, if it came out tomorrow, it would be bad timing because college starts back up the week after next...
Apples
08-17-2007, 06:17 PM
A few suggestions:
* Sell / trade some of your old games
* Re-examine your "necessities" and future purchase list - can you play some at a friends' house? borrow them? rent them?
* Do you need some of these titles the absolute moment they are released? A game like Halo 3 will be popular for years to come, delaying the purchase for a few months isn't game breaker.
* Bioshock is single player only, meaning people will bore of it eventually, meaning you can get a cheap used copy by waiting.

Yeah it is very selfish of you!
Just because u may not get the game on release date dosen't mean HMX has to delay the release date for the US! THATS ABSURD!!!!!!!
If the game is finished for the US the'll ship it out no question!
But, don't try to make HMX delay the release date over here just because u cant have the game right away!
If ur that desperate and cant wait............MOVE TO THE US!!!!!!

Yh, move to the US, where I'll be shot down in five minutes cos you all have guns, and not only did the majority of the country vote the Right-Wing idiots, the Republicans, you also voted in a spastic to be your president.
I'll move to a place that cares more about cutting taxes than having a decent, and fair healthcare system.
Nope, in the UK its prob delayed until next year, I DO NEED BIOSHOCK, the neccessites have been re-evaluated, and ill use my Christmas money.
And for the idiot with the funny Family Guy Picture and only a Wii - PICK A CONSOLE WHERE YOU GET MOST OF THE GAMES ON, THEN BUY A WII MORON. I could easily trade in my Wii over my 360, because my 360 is where I'll be most of the time, but the Wii is for the "unique" releases.

You NEED to re-evaluate your priorities. You don't need any games, such things are a luxury. Also, don't stereotype a whole country based on your narrow-minded views on what journalism has taught you. By the way, I live in the UK.

I hate the Daily Mail, you can cuss me down, call me troll, or w.e., but calling me a Daily Mail is as low as it gets. My political knowledge comes from reading The Guardian every day, and the Observer on Sundays, from reading books like The Communist Manifesto, and reading Bush's hilarious speeches. (http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/blbushisms2006.htm)
Yes, I used the term "need" loosely. Of course. It is in retrospect. If people could just buy thousands of games, they would not class as "need", but someone who can buy one every month can use the term "need" loosely.
I do not need to re-evaluate my priorities. Bioshock is top of the "Videogames" list, but videogames fall way down from, what am I eating tonight, when should I do this work etc.
And you know, how can I be selfish for just "wanting" it to happen? Its not gonna, HMX themselves say they're near the finish line, and EA will need to get a Christmas release for maximum profit. I want the world to be a peaceful, right-wing free, communist haven, but guess what, it ain't gonna happen.
And anyway, I have enough "mahoney" for Bioshock, Halo 3 and RB, so I'm all done with this thread. Hopefully you guys are, "feeding the troll", more like becoming the troll yourselves.

Cores are £200, £20 short of a Wii. Plus, if you're american (I guess, you're thick like that) there's been the price drop, so you could have been paitent...) Why not have hold onto PS2 for a while... thats what my mate did, and now when the 360 Price Drop hits the UK he's diving in.
For me, the Wii is a complimentry console. It can't stand up on its own two feet as a console on its own, unless you're a very casual gamer, but leaning on a PS3 or 360 its a nice little console, and after a 5 hour megathon on Gears of War, its nice to go back to Zelda.

It'll probably get delayed in the UK, but americans can stay happy.

Why is it that every time people that have different views are arguing, it gets nasty first and then turns into a political war. Don't ever bring politics into an argument. No good can ever come from it. I don't know if people on here actually think rb is gonna get delayed, but I think theyre speaking from the view of "Hey if this guy had the power to delay rock band as long as he needs so he can get it right when it comes out, he'd do it." Which would mean everyone else would have to wait. So thats why you're getting called selfish. Somewhere along the way in this thread people got convinced that you're a big wheel at Harmonix or EA and youre gonna delay the game just to torture everyone.
I'm definitely voting for this thread to get locked. It's getting too hostile.

Jesus Christ, Kid. You're an idiot (a selfish one at that!). You talk about wanting to live in a communist haven where everyone is equal and free. News flash, in communist society, THERE WOULD BE NO ROCK BAND! You stupid sack of ass, you can't have your cake and eat it.
On top of that, what the hell did your parents do wrong when raising you? "I only get £30 a month pocket money". Are you f***ing kidding me? Growing up, I got ZERO $ (or £ for that matter) pocket money! I GOT A JOB! I've been working two jobs from the time I was 15 (I'm 19) in order to pay for university and still afford myself the finer things in life, in this case, Rock Band. TRY IT OUT!
I'm not American, but I'll be playing Rock Band this fall right there with my American brothers and sisters (yay Canada!), I'll be sure to take tonnes of party pics of me and my friends having a great time and send them your way you worthless ingrate.

You do realize that not all Americans are rebublican,stupid, lazy or fat. Also not everyone in America(by America I assume you mean United States.) owns guns, we have that right but not all use it. Also about your fears of being shot if you lived in the United States, I have lived in a bad neighborhood most of my life in Southern California and have never been shot at or had a gun pulled on me. You on the other hand might have that problem because it seems like you like to run your mouth. As for your capitalism vs communism statements I hope you get your wish to a certain extent. I would love to see your views after a couple of years of living in a communist country.

Right, thank you, if people said this it'd make more sense. I made this thread to see if people had tough choices ahead of them in choosing games; games aren't the be all and end all but, they're still something fun to debate.
But, the more stupid people in this thread decided to take it ridiculously (spell check?) strongly and OTT, instead of, like the dude I've quoted above, simply stating what you might interpret what I said is different from what I meant.
Oh, and yeah, if its not out in Australia until next year it won't be out in the UK until next year, so don't worry Americans, you'll get it earlier; I suppose you have to have some decent things to pay back your terrible healthcare system.

the majority of americans voted for the republicans? Politics Lesson. America uses the first past the post voting system right? They didnt need 51% of the votes to get into power, also if you include the fact there wasnt a 100% turnout you'd realise that actually only a minority of americans voted republican...and so what if they did vote republican, you talk about democracy, and that is democracy, even if you don't agree with it.
By the way, im not a republican, and im not an American. So the majority of Americans DIDN'T vote republicans.
Americans are Lazy? On average americans take the fewest days off work each year out of any western country, and im assuming the unemployment rate is gunna be less than 50% of population, meaning unlike you, the MAJORITY of america do have jobs.
Americans are Fat? i think the obesity rates are about 20-odd % which yeah, its high, but its still a minority of americans that are fat.
You claim to be some educated guy who reads the guardian everyday, but you don't seem smart enough to do a tiny bit of research...

Americans are Fat? i think the obesity rates are about 20-odd % which yeah, its high, but its still a minority of americans that are fat.
You claim to be some educated guy who reads the guardian everyday, but you don't seem smart enough to do a tiny bit of research...
just remember, all generalisations are false...including this one.
you see, those people who flamed me, I like this guy ^^^^^^ he argued with me fairly, using fine arguements and evidence, not "YOU'RE A TROLL!".
Yeah, America gets the least amount of days off, because in Britain we have tons of bank holidays.
At 14, I'm not gonna attempt to get a job. Why? Because, legally, I can't (things like paperboy doesn't count as a proper job under the law though, but I don't have a bike). In Britain, you must be 15 to get a job, and there's no minimum wage on that either, so I won't work til I'm 16.
Oh and yeah, I didn't count that vote turnout in America is terrible so... the majority of voters are thick for voting republican, is my correction.
My generalisations is cos I'm very anti-American. Call it the atom bomb, everytime they completely forget WW1, everytime they say "WITHOUT US YOU'D BE SPEAKING GERMAN", and the fact that they're the capitalist centre of the world. But, I do apologise for those few Americans who aren't fat, republican, stupid or lazy.
So, we done with this thread yet? Or has anyone got an answer to what I MEANT for this thread: any of you got any tough decisions with what games you gonna get. Rather annoyed, you lot in the USA have Bioshock 3 days before... ah well, I can finish Gears of War before I trade it in with the extra time.

Actually, we get fewer vacations and holidays. We also tend to work more overtime. It's just a different work ethic between America and Europe: we work more time, you guys work more rested. Honestly, I kinda like the European system.
And what's wrong with a paper route? I worked a paper route when I was your age and that got me most of my spending money. I also worked at a summer camp for $100/week and as a life guard for minimum wage. Then I worked part time doing caterings and maintenance at a country club. Now I'm an engineer. What I'm saying is: most jobs suck, you've got to stick them out, though, if you want any money. And if you want games, you need money, so...
My generalisations is cos I'm very anti-American.

Whatever, I'll let it slide. Just don't be surprised when you get flamed for your views, especially when people are here to talk about video games...

Well, I've budgeted my money to get what I want. I need to buy myself a 360, Halo 3, Madden, Forza 2, and Rock Band. Turns out I have enough money for them, and maybe a few other games. My method for buying games usually involves spending the least for games that will last the longest. Even a $50 RPG is cheap when you get 100+ hours out of it ($0.50/hour isn't bad).
Back on track?

The reason people keep saying "YOURE A TROLL" is because YOU ARE A TROLL. You make wildly general statements with absolutely no proof, many times they are completely untrue. You don't know what you're talking about half the time but you open your mouth and have an opinion on it anyways. Have you ever been to the USA? How many Americans do you know? Any?
You're just a selfish, whiny, expect-everything child. You prove it over and over in almost every post you make. ME ME ME, GIMME GIMME GIMME, MORE INFO, DELAY THE GAME FOR ME, YOU GET BIOSHOCK BEFORE ME, WAHH WAHH WAHH.
Stop whining. Otherwise I might have to make a huge generalization too: MOST Brits are whiny, ignorant, selfish little children that don't know anything about anything. Disagree with me? Sorry, then you disagree with your own "Americans are fat lazy republicans" statement.
Just because some people say "Without us you'd be speaking German" doesn't give you the right to stereotype EVERY American based on that. You're just as bad as how you're making them out to be if you make such ridiculous assumptions about a country you've proven to know nothing about in your recent posts.
So don't change your original, selfish "I want rock band to be delayed because I'm pissy people will get to play it before me" statement and say you were trying to convey a different point. You weren't.
You're a brat, end of story.

lolz at all the americans getting sore about possibly not getting a game weeks before us.

All right we could have dealt with Japan in more of a civil manner, but they did not have to attack Pearl Harbor either. Not to mention the fact that we warned Japan that if they didn't surrender or stop the attacking we would drop the A Bomb so their government is just as much to blame as the American Government if not more to blame.
As far as you not liking Americans that say without us you would be speaking German, well I could also say with out England we in America could also be speaking German.
LOL so I don't get an apology because I'm a fat American:D

This post went off the track.
Can we add "Avoid long-winded blowbag generalizations about entire parts of the world and globalization."
Even I am a little offended at this point.
