I have to say I'm pretty bummed out and disappointed, having supported the series from RB1 straight on through and bought DLC on a constant basis. Obviously no game lasts forever but I was really...

It'll work with RB3, yes. But does that mean RB3 is the end of the road for instrument games?

That's the real concern, here. This is all upside, since it's a hybrid game that works in both styles,...

Which is my primary concern. Is Harmonix giving up completely on the traditional music performance simulation game, in favor of casual-themed two button minigames? Is it the end of the road for the...

As long as this isn't the end of the line for the traditional RB instrument performance game, I'm okay with it.

But buying it as a track export is going to depend on the tracks being exported,...

I have to say I'm pretty disappointed, but I understand why HMX went this way.

They need to recoup profits from people who don't or won't buy plastic instruments. An EXTREMELY simple and casual...

It's nice in that regard, but the Blitz variant has too much emphasis on earning powerups through MTX. That's where my concern lies. Also, RB3 already has plenty of "chase high scores, defeat your...

"Blitz" gives me the willies. Because I've tried Bejeweled Blitz and it is a blatant cash grab moneymaker.

Take a normal Bejeweled game, but you play against your friends, trying to get the...

To quote the King of All Cosmos, we are moved to tears at the size of this thing.

Getting the entire pack.

Obviously this won't be to everybody's tastes, but... this is just flat out amazing to...

Guitar and Keys: Medium. I can do some songs on Hard, but generally I don't have the reflexes for the notespam involved. What I like about Medium is that it hits the 'major' notes of the song, the...

In RB2, my primary avenue of Fun was to hop into random bands and play online. Sure, the bands weren't always great, but it was easy to back out and try another band if things were terrible.

RB3,...

The road tours do everything that the old career mode did. Random events are replaced by random spade challenges, but otherwise, it's all there. On the plus side they also provide shuffled setlists...

This'd really make HMX look like villains if Microsoft spontaneously decided to have a huge DLC sale... and then a week after the sale was over, HMX rolled out the key/harmony versions of The Cars,...

The problem is that for every problem RB3 Online fixed from RB2 Online, it added two more new problems.

RB2:
- No way to find people with the same DLC as you.
- Kiddies playing nothing but...

I vastly prefer the new Road Challenges. The setlists vary every single time, and they always integrate your DLC nicely... giving you just enough limitation to be structured, just enough freedom not...

Most (reasonable) people were hoping for a middleground between "Pay through the nose" and "Pay nothing."

The precedent being the Pro Guitar upgrades... one dollar, bolts onto the side of existing...

Same -- but I've had Bob Marley for less than a month now, and I really, really wish I had put off buying it. Other bands released in the run-up to RB3 are perfect candidates for this (I'm looking at...

Yeah, I was.

I UN-linked and RE-linked, and now my goals are showing up properly on the site. Still no achievement, though.

This is weird. The website claimed I was linked before I'd ever entered a linking code -- and it can't seem to see my goals or setlists. No achievement, either. I don't think I'm actually linked. Now...

That's the idea behind embedding the pro charts into the normal DLC download, and then providing an unlock key. That way, even people who didn't buy that key could see the charts. Granted this...

Is the lack of avatars a BUG, or a FEATURE, is the question?

Could be it's stuck in featureless music video mode by design because they couldn't figure out a way to make avatars work with the...
