Petition To Bring Back Score Duel to Rock Band 3 Via Title Update!

[Izemann]

Score duel was a completely different way to play rock band.

Why should it not be in there? Why are people not playing it? I've read that rhythm games are dying or already dead. Even the casuals are going to say "well i already have rock band 2" and now people who want to score duel with new dlc might as well continue playing older rock bands.

It's strange really, most developers don't play their games or even have any passion in it. Go to school for music and writing and now they work for a video game studio just because it's a job. I've seen many interviews, they put a lot of work into these games and I think they care about the community but most of them wish they were somewhere else. I can't blame any of that really, that's life and I love what they do anyways but imagine if scorehero made the next rhythm game. Or atleast took most of the ideas from here.

Score duel could have used a huge improvement as well, like making the scores count to leaderboards. Although, kind of lame if you got a score even though you may not legitimately be able to pass the song.

What was wrong with score duel? Too much or too little competition? It's not dead for expert guitar and drums and remember this game has been out a long time. Sure people aren't going to play much score duel when there are only good players but that doesn't mean it's broken or anything. street fighter is one of the hardest learning curve games around and it's primarily online, but if you are new to the game without help from others you will be dominated nearly every game. I love it and have been playing for a couple years but I never seen more used copies of super/street fighter 4 at the my local gamestores. It's not very newcomer friendly, but that's what gives a game a more competitive aspect.

So, hopefully HMX realizes their mistake and adds score duel into Rock Band 3 through a title update.

It seems like it would be really hard to do for pro modes, but I would like to see this make a return I suppose.

I want to know why it was taken out of Rock Band 3 in the first place.

I never touched Score Duel after getting the applicable achievements. I'm guessing Harmonix has pretty good data on how much of their user base actually used the feature regularly or at all and made the decision on whether to continue devoting resources to developing and maintaining the feature as a result of that information. Just because it was in earlier iterations of the game doesn't mean they could just put it in Rock Band 3. The game is obviously a major overhaul and just maintaining features would have required considerably resources which ultimately were limited. I'm guessing a lot more players never used Score Duel than used it with even casual regularity. If your customers aren't using a service, it can make sense to stop offering it.

Signed. Though not enough to deter me from the game, it was a shock to see that it wasn't included.

I can definitely live without Tug of War but Score Duel should be there IMO. Signed.

Wait, Score Duel is gone?! That sucks, me and my roommate used to always have drum battles. First legitimate gripe I have with the game so far. Count me in as signed.

signed. only reason I care is because me and my friend who lives far away from me both play drums and used to score duel all the time
