    I swear one of the Tales games on the 360 let you do that.

    I'll give you the first one, but I've been working on that second one a little as of lately.

    (I've always been abbreviating it HDH. Yours looks better, so I hope you don't mind if I take it.)

    I guess it must have been a big selling point.

    I may complain about tiny things, but it's the tiny things that make the difference between good and great (or okay and good for a more flawed product).

    Both RB2 and RB3 were "good", by the way.

    Some tiny things can be improvements, others just add bloat. At least a font option would have more of a noticeable impact than that 1ms manual calibration increment suggestion, but I'd still classify it in the latter category, particularly when users (plural) are not asking for it, and when there are so many actually-useful features the dev team could be working on instead.

    I usually suggest easy solutions to problems, like just coughing up our leaderboard rank no matter what, or going back to the old style of mistake notification and doing away with the Flames of Failure. This is so they have the time to really blow us away with something new or get something right that they attempted in RB3 but choked up on.

    Thinking about it, my font gripe has an easier solution: Stop using Pentatonic in all-caps. In fact, all-caps should be used sparingly if at all anyway.

    A suggestion that stems from this: Add lowercase letters to the art maker. While on this topic, I've noticed that there is no serif or script font in the art maker.

    The times you've complained about the font or the "Flames of Failure" outnumber the people who care about either. Some people like the percentages or the attention-grabbing flames.

    H$H is the only person I've heard complain about the "Flames of Failure"--they don't bother me at all and I doubt that they bother many others. He or she has a tendency to to read insult into the smallest things, such as the game calling a 90-some-odd percent solo "Great" (or whatever) taken to be a sarcastic slight .

    The thing with the AFoF is that it seems to be a change made for the sake of change. Folkeye knows what I mean about change-for-the-sake-of-it.

    The effect shortly after the 3 minute mark here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDPTKsMLn6M

    They are not restricted to the trainer - they appear on the fail-out screen. RB3's is the most unpleasant of all the fail-out screens - the Pentatonic font is screaming at you in all-caps in front of the burning background. The old Guitar Hero games had one that wasn't so insult-to-injury, and you could even pause during the failing animations to restart the song quicker.
