Astro7x posted:I have a friend that gave this code away because he didn't want the indy songs cluttering up his playlist. Could they make that page any more unclear that the code is also used to export RB2 in the future? Probably because 2+ years ago they couldn't say for certainty that that's how any possible future export would be handled.

Brocktoon posted:Are song ratings per-console or per XBL account? Can my wife rate songs differently than I do? Per account. It might be a bit confusing on the song selection screen, because it'll only show the rating of the band you're currently playing under, but after every song each band member can enter their own ratings.

If you ("you" as in "your Gamertag") are playing bass, you can accomplish bass goals, which means you can unlock stuff from those goals.

timpanihilistic posted:So I'm sure this has been discussed already but I haven't seen it anywhere: Doubt it. For one, Pro Guitar market > Pro Bass market, probably by quite a bit. Two, a four string bass means you're essentially locked out of being able to play any bass that uses 5+ strings (which would mean when that Primus DLC shows up odds are you're boned). You could make the same argument for guitar, since 7-string guitars surely exist, but would it be as big of a problem as on the bass...?

89 posted:So, how's everybody doing the rating system? This is what I came up with, focusing on party play with big groups of people. Working backwards: 1-lighter songs should never (or almost never) show up in Random setlists. How I rate (keep in mind these are heavily skewed towards guitar since that's what I play): 5* - I will never complain about "having" playing this song (25 or 6 to 4) 4* - I enjoy listening to the song and probably playing it (Centerfold) 3* - I don't hate it, but there's certainly better (Rock Lobster) 2* - I'll only play this if someone else picks it (Walkin' on the Sun) 1* - If I'm at home, it's banned. If I'm not, I'm leaving the room. (Free Bird) apophenium posted:One thing I want to understand about the rating is if it's per-instrument. Like, The Beautiful People is awful on keyboards (it's not much fun on anything else, I'm just using it as an example) so I gave it 1 lighter. But if I like to play it on drums can I give it 4 lighters on drums? One rating per song per profile. I kind of wish they were per instrument too, but could see how it'd get confusing.

Pyroxene Stigma posted:Which ones will work with RB1/2 hardware? I might need to upgrade mine.. ridiculous double-hits. AFAIK, neither. RB1 can't use cymbals. RB2 cymbals use powered sensors. E-drum hardware is passive. FateoMcSkippy posted:One thing about this game I'm still not sold on: having some overdrive phrases give half a bar of overdrive for completing them when doing it solo. I get how they give half a bar if you're playing with people and they get the unison bonus, but giving the bonus when playing solo just feels wrong. It enables individual scoring in band play.

I've had the game for almost two weeks, and I realize I may be a bit late in saying this, because I've only played maybe 2/3 of the setlist, but this needs to be said (and probably repeated): gently caress "Antibodies".

A shrubbery! posted:Also, the Roadrunner Records pack, although it's listed as "already in library" wants me to purchase it again rather than download again. It even gives me "You already own this DLC, do you really want to pay for it again?" There was some legal fracas with that pack and "Running Wild" got pulled from the pack and as a single completely. The 6 song pack (which you bought) is no longer available in the marketplace, only the 5 song pack (which it is asking you to buy). Not sure if there's a workaround for this, besides manually transferring the old pack from your old HD and onto the new one.

Douche4Sale posted:Anyone buying a $200+ pro guitar should be aware that they are a niche market and may not be pandered to forever. That's the way of the world. To play devil's advocate, at least with the pro guitars, one still works as a 5-button controller, and the other is a fully-functional six-string guitar. The stage kit? Well, you can use it as a controller...with no shoulder/trigger buttons or analog sticks...that could blind you while playing because the lights are controlled via force feedback info... whypick1 fucked around with this message at Nov 1, 2010 around 22:42 |

Just imagine the bitching that'd occur if the stage kit did work. You'd get the current level of bitching seen now because it wouldn't work in All Instruments Mode combined with all of the bitching about the necessity of All Instruments Mode. I'd imagine liquor stores within a few miles of HMX HQ would be constantly out of stock.

I too have a tree. Currently stores my Strat replica and Rickenbacker and (hopefully soon) my Mustang. The nice thing about the one I have is that the bottom support is supposed to rest on the back of a full-size guitar, so it'll support the Strat and Mustang just fine, and the Rickenbacker can lie on top of it without posing a problem since it's much lighter than the other two.

That's what the MIDI adapter is for. edit: ninja'd. Keep in mind that if your kit's brain is smart enough to remap outputs, then you shouldn't have to worry about compatibility. It's the fixed-mapping ones like the DTXplorer that you do.

If one of you nails a drum roll, you're not both going to get the "Drum Roll, Please!" achievement/goal, but if you have OD going for 90+ seconds, you're going to get those goals/achievement, since that's not a solo-only goal.
