Randomly Crap Out Your Opinions Thread

That particular album by Kalisia was really irritating. It had way too much going on and the production sucked.

Roundabout is truly brutal on keyboard. So far, it's the only song in RB3 I've run into that I can't beat on regular expert keys.

Yeah, Roundabout has been my only failure on regular keys as well... I've been catching up on drums this week, so my revenge will be had soon.

When I saw the DLC announcement, I thought "More New Order and Talking Heads? Cool."

But it was the songs I already have. Oh well. I highly doubt I'm getting any of the Bon Jovi songs.

it really bothers me that they're re-releasing older content for RB3 ("Wanted Dead or Alive", "Living on a Prayer", for example). If that's gonna be a trend, I'm gonna grow tired of this franchise real fast.

won't bother me so long as they release it along side new stuff, personally i'd love to play Aqualung with keys and pro-mode

I've been sticking on regular hard keys for Roundabout, as awesome of a song it is, it's just too difficult on expert for now. I've been playing a bunch of bass lately and there are a bunch of cool songs on bass, particularly Chicago. I'm growing to love the selist more and more every day.

This.

I understand the desire to play older songs with keys and Pro, but look at it this way:

With the new 12 pack coming out, you have a quarter of a songs that are already in the RB library that--minus the full bundle discount of course--are $2 each, and they would also require an additional buck to get the Pro Mode. That's for songs that have already been exhausted through playing RB1, 2, Lego,etc. "Redundancy" and "poor spending" are the first words that come to my mind when I consider that.

Would you rather have that...or just not have those songs and have a Bon Jovi pack at, say, $14.99, leaving you around $5 that you could put toward your next favorite 3-pack or something. Or have a 12 pack composed of all new tracks. All of which are already integrated into the new RB3 standard and would not require upgrades. Granted, I'm sure for many people the additional costs would be outweighed by the satisfaction of being able to play older songs on keys and Pro, but I'd rather just look ahead to what new songs they'll release with keys and Pro instead of seeing older tracks that will cost me more than half of a new 5-pack...just for the privilege to see them in RB3.

HMX might be getting away with less criticism on this since the 3 older tracks are nestled in a pack of 12, but imagine for a moment if that ratio drops and the following week you see just a 6-pack available, but with 4 new tracks released alongside 2 older ones. That would be no bueno.

This is just one week and I obviously don't have a crystal ball, but this week's announcement sets a bad precedent in my opinion.

I don't mind the occasional re-release, but I'd definitely be bummed if it became too regular of a thing.

That said, I don't like Bon Jovi and am seriously behind on DLC in the first place so I didn't even notice the repeats this time.
