QUEEN DLC BLOCKED - Possible Reason!

[MrHartgrave]

The Queen,Bowie, Blur, Spinal Tap, or Iggy Pop mini-figs or the ability to play their DLC in custom setlists CANNOT be unlocked.

The latest LEGO Rock Band patch (apparently released 1/26/2010 for the PS3) fixes the issue -- I can now play the family-friendly Queen and Spinal Tap downloaded content in career mode! WooHoo!

Plus the game no longer locks up after the final rock power challenge...

Anyone who claims this is possible should provide proof...I have completed EVERY gig in the game, this includes beating all of the Queen challenges and the songs are still blocked and the QUEEN,ect. minifigures were not unlocked to be bought in the store.

On the subject of unlocking the Queen/Bowie/Blur/Iggy/Spinal Tap figures, here is a post made by "NiceMissMayonnaise" on Kotaku.com, who appears to be someone who worked in some capacity on Lego Rock Band for TT Games, the post is in reference to the recent legal proceedings being taken out on Activision:

"Just as well this all came up before we finished LEGO Rock Band - I don't think it's clear whether we thought we could use likenesses throughout the game, or just for the songs they sing, but beforehand all the likeness characters had their parts available in the customisation builder. Now? Queen sing Queen songs, Blur Blur etc, each band to their own songs and that's it."

I now feel it is obvious that they will NOT be trying to sell us the Queen MiniFigures or the ability to use Queen songs in Custom SetLists.

Also worth noting is if you play the Queen DLC in FreePlay mode you will be playing as Queen. I figure this must be the bit of programming that went all screwey in the Story Mode. I FIRMLY believe that not being able to select the Queen.ect. DLC in custom setlist is a BUG. Hopefully there will be a patch for this...

Yay for conspiracy theories. I honestly think this would be the stupidest idea ever executed in a video game, if it were indeed the case. It would be even more lame than the whole Soul Caliber 4 Yoda/Vader DLC debacle.

Don't you have to unlock lego queen to play the rest of the queen songs?

I'm pretty sure that's the case.

In other words keep playing.

You're basing your speculation on another user's speculation? That's just double trouble right there.

Any LEGO-friendly song is playable in at least quickplay.

WRONG! Where did you get this idea from? I have unlocked EVERYTHING at this point, no Queen DLC in Custom Set Lists.

Also, as far as I know, you can't "unlock" the ability to play as Queen, only a few challenges where you can play either We are the Champions or We Will Rock You as Queen...

Actually, he's right. I had asked about the Queen/Bowie tracks yesterday and got the same answer. Sure enough, I unlocked Bowie's minifig as well as the Bowie tracks that were grayed out before. Perhaps, you should stop jumping to conclusions about conspiracies before you're absolutely sure.

No use ranting about hypothetical DLC with no logical basis. It's a little annoying that you can't add them to setlists, but they can be played on their own in free play just fine.

No **** eh? How did you unlock the fig? I have not seen this myself yet, but I will stand corrected at the moment...:P I went ahead and changed the OP...can someone confirm this??? When does it happen in the game?

This poll needs an option that says, "This notion is ridiculous and doesn't even merit an opinion, much less the creation of a new poll on the questionable basis of someone who was sure they have unlocked everything but clearly did not."

Maybe I jumped the gun a bit...but I really can't seem to get a clear answer here on my question and I have been asking it for a few days now...I thought it was clear that the minifigures were not unlockable, perhaps in light of the recent Cobain BS in GH5...

BTW, I will unlock the rest of the game in a day or two and update my OP so other people wont have to wander around searching for the reason why all of their Queen DLC is blocked out when they go to make a custom set list...

Can you at least see that this is a odd thing to do to the gamer without explaining why?
