RB3 Request a Feature, Bug Report and Suggestion Thread (no song requests)

[Daelan]

X360 for me, but these are issues on all consoles, probably:

1.) The menus/interface is SO much less intuitive than RB2 (can't sort songs by DLC vs RB1, RB2, RB3, etc... wtf?)
2.) In the non-gameplay screens (ie. when not actually playing a song), why am I listening to musak? GIMME TUNES! You have a huge songlist, use it!
3.) Between songs/animations the load screen is an abrupt and PAINFUL stark WHITE. On a 60" LCD in a dark room, the 5 of us playing were all complaining about that. Seriously, my wife was getting a headache.
4.) Auto-calibration is fantastic! But you should mention in the calibration start screen that you need full, fresh batteries in your controller for it to be effective. A set of half-power AA's wasn't getting any reading, and had us dying after 20 minutes of video-cal on auto. Again, 60" tv, dark room. OUCH!!!

The whole game feels less polished than RB2 when it first came out. Your animations (particularly the singer) aren't as song-appropriate. My wife's singer looks like a spaz as often as not mid-song... My drummer is worse.

The whole Challenge/Goal-oriented progression is a valid approach, I suppose, but it lacks the sense of adventure/ worldwide growth of RB2.

There are some serious issues with the singer activating Overdrive. Serious.

And the lack of local PVP? Come on, guys... The game supports 2 guitars and up to 3 singers as a default. And in RB2 you could local Drum Duel. Did the design team just forget what makes this game so cool? It's a party game, probably the best one ever made. I get that you wanted to teach Little Jimmy how to play a real guitar, but the backbone of this franchise is the plastic-instrument wannabe crowd. We LIKE goofing off in our living rooms drummer vs drummer, singer vs singer, dare I say keyboard vs keyboard?

Posted earlier:

REQUEST: FRETBOARD: Please make a modifier (extras menu). Ability to change the fretboard color, design background (logos in band setup will work) and transparency. Very hard to see the notes sometimes.

I'd like this. It the shorter lanes and seemingly increased transparency, it's gets tricky to see the notes sometimes. If we had the option to darken the lanes up, it would be great.

H.I.M. is listed both as H.I.M. and HIM. Also there are a few RBN DLC that I have bought that have all of a sudden come up as demos. I have never Downloaded any demos and wonder what happened to my songs? The few are In This Moment's "Mechanical Love" and a Gracious Few song that I can't remember the title of.

It'd be nice if some more sorting and filtering options were included. Some pretty obvious stuff left out. Can't sort by decade anymore? Can't sort by DLC? Can't set filter to songs with a review of 2 or higher?

Also it'd be nice if the fretboard was less transparent, but I don't see this actually getting fixed.

I would request a Review Filter. That way you could make "1 lighter" songs not even show up in your library. As it stands, the lighter only affecting random setlists is one of my only disappointments.

Probably been mentioned numerous times already, so Ill just add to the chorus:

1) more cut scenes and more end-of-tour animations: already too repetitive

2) add in a fifth (keyboard) stand-in/character on stage

I would also like to request a review filter. This would make song picking at parties so much easier.

For example: "Show only songs with X lighters or higher".

What happened to the ability to navigate through a list of songs with the drum pads? I'm playing on the 360 and I can't navigate with the drum pads anymore. I have to reach over and painstakingly click with the D-pad to move through a list. I have over 500 songs all together so that can be a real pain for me. Any chance of having this re-added? Not everyone plays the guitar/mic and can strum/use an analog stick.

[Dante1847]

oh yeah, and get rid of that awful tune that is played while you're in character customization and a dozen other menus. **** drives me crazy....

PS3 Bug Report:

1. The worst bug I noticed while playing last night was when I was playing a song the game randomly quit itself. I've never seen this happen on any game in my life. It just totally quit and went back to the XMB on PS3. This happened TWICE last night. That really scares me to think that could keep happening.

2.Minor bug with the character's mic moving all around throughout the course of the song

3.99% vocal glitch is still there from the Beatles and Green Day engine. It took me 3 hours to FC Bohemian Rhapsody on vocals only to be greeted with a 99% glitch

4.When navigating up and down through the menu with my drums it is randomly going into the song detail screen at random times. I have drum navigation turned on. It is also randomly reviewing songs when I scroll down. This is making me forced to use the directional pad on the drum brain.

5. I was playing Bohemian Rhapsody on drums and during a break with no notes I swear I didn't hit anything at all and it randomly registered a bass hit forcing to break my combo.

My biggest concern is the fact the game turns off unexpectedly. I really need to know if this is happening to anyone else. Could it have something to do with the Keyboard dongle? I have the keyboard dongle plugged in to my guitar dongle on the PS3
