Chairchucker posted:Huh, the Rock Band 3 setlist pamphlet has in its list all of the songs that didn't export. Just because they don't export, that doesn't mean they're not technically part of the Rock Band franchise. I still have my Rock Band 1 disc just in case I ever get the urge to play Enter Sandman again.

I'm kind of having trouble with my Pro Cymbals. After only a couple songs, the poles will inevitably shake loose from the clamps, and will be in danger of falling clean off if I don't stop and readjust them. I've tightened the screws as far as they'll go with a pair of needle-nose pliers and this still happens. Anyone got advice? edit: This mostly happens on the blue and green pole, since it's heavier. The yellow cymbal is pretty much fine.

pokecapn posted:I'm not that great at drums, but I figured I could handle Whip It's stuttery disco thing, but it completely kicked my rear end. The worst part was that I picked it for the last song in the last set of a road challenge, and I didn't want to find out if turning no fail on would mess up any of the previous progress. I ended up cheesing it by pretending the whole song was 8th note triplets. I don't know why I couldn't get a handle on the rhythm. Probably because it's so goddamn fast. I remember way back in RB1, I would fail Run to the Hills over and over, even though I was sure I was doing 16th notes. Finally I just forced myself to blast 16th notes as fast as I could, and suddenly I was able to hold down a streak. I'm betting Whip It is a similar thing, where you just need to force yourself to go faster than you think you need to.

TheJoker138 posted:Am I the only one playing on a 360 who has never had it freeze on either crate loading screens? I've gone through almost every road challenge, and done a bunch of quick play, and haven't had a single freeze. I also got through Fable 3 with only one quest breaking glitch though, so maybe I'm just lucky. I haven't had a single freeze either. Hooray for being lucky I guess?

So, I got Pro Cymbals to add to my RB2 kit, and I'm having fun with them, but drat if those clamps can't stay put. I find myself having to readjust them in between nearly every song or else they're in danger of falling off. Is there something I'm missing here? This is really annoying.

Song For The Deaf posted:Do you have the clamps around the metal legs of the drum set? I initially made the mistake of trying that, when in reality they are supposed to fit snugly around the plastic cylinder that the metal legs go into. There is a ridge around the opening that the clamps will sit nicely on. That should stop them from wandering on you. Nope, that's where I have them, and they slide anyway.

Does anyone know what a "Harmonix Recommends" setlist is? Do they even exist? I know they're not the pre-made setlists that already come under the "Play a setlist" menu, because I played one and the goal didnt' unlock.

I had to do the Endless Setlist twice, first was on medium bass with a wired guitar just to get Bladder of Steel, next was with Expert Drums to get platinum status. Surprisingly, the song that gave me the most trouble wasn't Visions, but Peace Sells. Those loving kicks in the outro are killer.

Found this on the Squier site:quote:The Squier by Fender Stratocaster Guitar and Controller has seven onboard game control buttons that drives Rock Band™ 3 gameplay on the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii via the Mad Catz® MIDI Pro Adapter*. (*Xbox 360 game controls are available on the MIDI Pro Adapter box itself.) As an Xbox player, this has me worried. Does this mean that if I want to, say, just scroll through my list of songs, I'll have to go up to the midi adapter and press the up and down buttons on there? And then hit A to play the song? That sounds annoying as hell. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid.

dropkickpikachu posted:Certain things on drums are just way easier to do if you don't have to do them on command. I can pull off all sorts of funky fun stuff behind a real drum set, but if you charted what I did into a Rock Band song it'd gently caress me up royally trying to recreate it exactly. This explains exactly why I hate playing Who songs on the drums, even though The Who is one of my all-time favorite bands. Keith Moon couldn't keep a steady beat worth a drat and it translates into really awkward gameplay.

Was fun - sorry I didn't respond right away, as I was busy watching the credits, and sorry I didn't stick around for longer, but my eyes were going funny and now my couch is belly dancing at me. No problem. That was my first time playing online, too, so I had no clue how it was supposed to work. The fact that you make a playlist now instead of picking one song at a time is interesting. Mostly, though, I needed a way to say "I'm done! Hit Play already!"

So is it still possible for me to get the Completionist rank without having every possible goal accessible? Or will I need to buy the appropriate DLC? E.g. I don't own Green Day Rock Band so obviously I don't have any of those goals showing up in my Rock Band 3 game.

Noticed something odd today. I tried to play Avenged Sevenfold's "Afterlife," and it wouldn't let me. The game gave me an error message saying something like I needed to download the latest Rock Band 3 update or something. I have no idea what they're talking about. Anyone encounter something similar or know what I should do? Also, on an unrelated note, I was browsing the store today and it looks like the RBN Megamix is back up.

Just out of curiosity, what would happen if I tried to do Endless Setlist 3, playing solo on keys? Would I get to just sit there and do nothing for songs with no key parts? (In theory, this would make the ES3 easier, since I would take mandated breaks)

Would this really work, though? I tried to do this exact strategy to cheese the "Play every gig in the game" achievement in Lego RB, and if you register a score of 0, it didn't count.
