whats the big deal with releasing green day?

Well there ain't no more copies for the export -_- They are simply helping those who have a hard time picking a copy of this game -_-

This is why RB:GD was such a failure. Who in their right mind would want the catalog of such a terrible band? Between that, releasing the Beatles over RB3, and the combination of a terrible RB3 setlist and being a step down in so many areas (compared to RB2 and even Lego), is why no one plays this game anymore. Oh yeah, and the terrible to playable DLC ratio. LOL

Why are you still here if you hate everything Harmonix have done in the past three years?

A professional troll will always be a troll.

Because that's the only way we can get pro upgrades, all two of 'em!

Yeah, even I have some nice things to say about Harmonix and their games every now and then in between my tirades about the aesthetics.

I am glad to see this released for everyone who couldn't get the game before. Green Day is a great band, and I personally have enjoyed playing the songs on Rock Band over the years. No Rock Band party goes by with some Green Day not being chosen by someone.

For the cherry pickers...check out the songs that aren't the BIG HITS and you may find that there are many that you like.

For all of the haters....a band isn't around for 20+ years when they suck.

...good news for the vast majority of forum posters! Nickelback will only be around for another 3 years max!

Assuming this is all cherry picking, that's $16 for 8 songs instead of $20 for 47. Don't you think it might be worth it to give the other 29 songs a chance for 4 more dollars?

I bought the game completely for the full Dookie and American Idiot albums, having no desire for 21st Century Breakdown, but even that had a few fun songs on it when I played through it.

Yeah, sure, but when you really don't want the other songs, that leaves you paying for songs you really don't want. Don't think I haven't given them a chance. I have, but they're just not songs that I want. So yes, I'd rather save four dollars and use it to buy two songs I do want rather than use it on almost forty songs I don't want.

Now if it were less expensive to just get the game than to cherry pick the songs I wanted (AKA if I wanted more songs than I do) then I'd just buy the game or something.

I was reading the prediction thread, everyone basically is saying that were gonna get the rest of gdrb. well please tell me, why release it? who would but it. overall its cheaper to buy the game and export it. not like its adding rb3 upgrades. i just dont understand it personally. im sure there is probably a good reason.

I actually kind of like how you put your post. You say they must have done it for a good reason, instead of other people who say "Harmonix, I hate you" or "WHY ARE YOU TEARING ME APART, HARMONIX!?" I'm actually surprised I didn't see the lame "This thread is stupid" remark including a rant against the OP in one of the replies yet. I'm actually proud of you for that. You get a gold star from me.

But, yeah, like everyone said. There are people who'd rather cherry pick two or three songs than pay $20 dollars for 40+ songs they will never play. And, it actually benefits people who already have the export already and want to play certain songs online with people.

If I had known I would eventually have the option to cherry pick eventually, I probably wouldn't have bought the game, just for the massive amount of space the 45 tracks take up on my hard drive and on the song select screen. Though since I ended up getting a bigger hard drive it's a moot point now, but when I was on a 20-gig drive it was a tough decision to buy the game.
