Where is the Pink Floyd????????????

[jibjqrkl]

much like how many people complained about Green Day: Rock Band since they only wanted Dookie, but had to 'pay' for the rest of the songs, too(less of an argument now, since the game is $15+$10, which is just barely over what Dookie would be in the Music Store, plus the one-lighter filter can hide the rest), so they simply didn't buy it.

unfortunately the game is still $40 here, if i'm actually lucky enough to find it

I'll also add that linkin park has the best selling rb3 pack. No one's accused them of being finger burners. Crazy difficulty sells when it's an exception. You got ttfaf(remember the other df song didn't do nearly as well) and caprci di diablo I believe. What else has sold just on difficulty? That's right. Nothing.

JUST on difficulty? don't know.

I mean, we can parse it to meaningless but the top selling packs of all time are Metallica, Disturbed, and Boston all of which contain Nightmare and Impossible levels on some, if not all, instruments, or at least skew towards the higher difficulties. They also benefit, as does Linkin Park, from being extraordinarily popular bands, albeit to different audiences. Which was the second condition I mentioned in my criteria, appealing to a demographic that purchases DLC. In the LP and Blink, it's the one that grew up listening to the music of the last 10-12 years. Those bands, and a few others that have been successful sellers are practically legends in that demo.

Again, I'm just stating my opinion that I don't believe Pink Floyd, however much you dig their music, and I do, A LOT, would translate over to RB very well or very successfully. I know most players play on medium and all that, but sales-wise it takes, at least from what I've noticed, either a moderate level of difficulty or a relatively younger fan base to truly be successful.

Where is here? I literally just got it off of Amazon for that price last week (for a reason I'm not going to go into here lol). YMMV once you factor in shipping, if you're not in the CONUS, I'd imagine, but it is available there if you're actually looking.

I don't know about Disturbed, but the Boston songs aren't ridiculously hard on anything except arguably vocals. Metallica are one of the most popular metal bands, and the biggest of the Big Four by a long shot, so their pack sold more on name recognition than pure difficulty. Plus a head start along with all the other day one DLC it's up there with.

I think it's more that anyone who has read the forums for more than a couple of threads would notice that your posts generally have a condescending tone, so it'd be useless to take it personally.

They also tend to be correct, for the most part. I agree with you completely that the album mentality is the crux, but I wouldn't exactly phrase it as "the problem with them" heh.

Aside from Money, Comfortably Numb, Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2), and Wish You Were Here, I think the segues would be an issue. I would buy that pack in a minute, though (and hope it was CN that got the pro upgrade).

Any hopes for a Brain Damage -> Eclipse or a Breathe -> On the Run -> Time -> Breath (Reprise) would, I think, be slim to none. Probably even less for an Echoes, Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1-9), or anything off of Animals, though.

Interesting enough, I found a video on Youtube of a guy that put "Time" in GH. And another that had "Have a Cigar" on RB in audition mode. Both were charted pretty good.

I even like some of the newer stuff off Division Bell and A Momentary Lapse of Reason. "Learning to Fly", "One Slip", "Keep Talking" are all pretty good and would be fun. Especially if they were to do the intro of "Learning to Fly" on keyboard.

I'd love Shine on You Crazy Diamond, but I'm not sure how well it would go to the game aspect. I don't know, I play the heck out of 2112 full version.

I have a bunch of friends that come over to my house on Friday nights to play RB. Most of them have various versions of a rhythm game, but few buy DLC (they just play mine!). Every one of them said they would buy PF in a disc or DLC. While I do understand that some things do better then others, PF has a following that would bring new players to the game, in my opinion. I'm a bit bias to this subject though.

but the Boston songs aren't ridiculously hard on anything except arguably vocals.

Plus vocals are incredibly subjective, and a large portion of issues could stem from trying to sing a harmony part rather than an actual difficult section.

And Disturbed is pretty plain couple-dot metal. They're not that difficult. Their Pack 03 has a song with some double bass in it, I guess.

Most of the Pink Floyd songs I'd like in the game don't suffer from this "being a part of an album" problem. Why ignore this aspect of Pink Floyd? They did put out singles, and really great ones that would fit better in Rock Band than their later album length songs that shouldn't be broken apart!

the wall album would be sweet

AC/DC has released singles, too. Doesn't really mean much.
