The most common cause for disappearing songs, for me, is the song cache simply not reading them. I used to think they were corrupt files, but now I'm bundling packs of songs together and still missing random songs despite them being part of one big file with twenty other songs that show up just fine. Deleting and rebuilding the song cache works for some songs but then causes others to disappear. It's bizarre.

For some reason I lost my mind, thought "Hey, let me check out if anyone's streaming Rock Band 3, I like watching people play!" and came away feeling even more like an old man for completely not understanding the allure of Twitch with the kids these days. Why the gently caress would anyone watch some loser sit in a chair, stone-face and motionless, playing along to the worst loving screamo bullshit customs with their mic volume up so loud that the clack-clack-clack of their instrument is louder than the music itself? I mean, if you're gonna be like that, why have a camera on you? You're playing Rock Band! Stand up, have fun, rock out a little bit! God forbid you look like you're ENJOYING yourself or the music! And get off my lawn!

That's only depressing to me if people were actually watching it. Soulless, boring streamers are a dime a dozen on Twitch, but usually they only have one viewer, so whatever.

Most had enough that they were making playlists from chat requests (usually the same screamo/Dream Theater/Dragonforce rotation). One motionless statue had viewers in the triple digits, and I started heckling in the chat saying "if you look this bored playing, how do you think we feel watching?" His response was, "I'm concentrating, yo..." Then I was shouted down by the rest of the chat when I asked "Why put the loving camera on yourself, then?" Then later I was banned for going "BEEP BOOP I AM A ROCK BAND ROBOT SONG EFFICIENCY AT 96%...FUN IS NEGLIGIBLE"

Brocktoon posted:"Hey, let me check out if anyone's streaming Rock Band 3, I like watching people play!" I had a thought about this, and how Harmonix have mentioned a desire to make the music more personal. People watch people play games on Twitch (I don't get it either but whatever), but if you are watching someone playing RB - ignoring an actual webcam - they are going to see: The same songs, with similar venues, with the same movements by the characters - the same way, every time (barring mistakes made by the player and avatars) What is needed, then, is a "director". This person, using a tablet, is responsible for: Camera changes Lighting Sound mixing - including faders and effects Then you've got not just a game - but essentially a live concert video you can watch. Add in (getting fanciful here) some Kinect based motion tracking (Kinect 2 can track 8 people fully boned) and given enough space, you could have a live full motion captured rock concert experience! with no two ever being the same (apart from the actual songs)! Now you could do it all live, but if you wanted, you could do it in two steps: 1. band plays the song with their instruments, performance recorded 2. band moves about during a playback of them doing the song, kinect recording their movements We go to the edit suite, pick some camera angles, zooms, add some effects etc and you've got yourself a rock video you can share on youtube etc Imagine THAT for a battle of the bands, not just song performance but choreography and musical direction.

Well I just got home after a weekend of whooping it up and now we get months of screaming at each other over hypothetical ways they're going to handle all the insane edge cases they've cooked up with regards to licensing songwriting, lyrics, master recordings, third-party-authored DLC and the various lapses in every single one of those departments between a library of over 4,000 total "unique" songs. It makes you wonder what kind of attention or changes they might make to the library sorting, the character creation, the structuring of progression or if there will even be any sort of campaign-style demands, and obviously what in God's name the song list is going to look like. It's an insane giant question mark that's pretty much impossible to comment on besides anticipation, conjecturing, and deep relief that our libraries aren't being reset. Also Frank Turner is really fuckin' boss live and I felt bad not knowing any of the words to any of his songs but at the time I was also completely sloshed.

Presumably the Rock Band 4 "engine", that is, gameplay+visuals+animation+etc. will be enough of an upgrade over RB3 to make an upgrade tempting even without customs and potentially not being able to bring across your old DLC (if you switched allegiances.)

Also, RB4 will have wider appeal. If you want to play online, this'll bring folks back. Additionally, I've always sort of liked on-disc stuff as sort of an introduction to music I haven't noticed before. With customs/DLC I tend to just focus on stuff I already know. I owe a lot of my musical tastes to Rock Band directly or indirectly (IE introduces me to Band X, I find song Y, and so forth). Makes me feel like a big ol nerd, but who the hell listens to the radio anymore?

Very much this. Rock Band 3 was a good game, but it definitely had a rushed production cycle, and many of us want a sequel to Rock Band 2. Not to mention that we only get multitrack audio ("stems") for a select handful of customs, and actual disc songs and DLC always have stems, which is very nice. As The Guys That Run The Customs Site, we want to stress very firmly that RB3 customs and RB4 are different beasts. Plenty of people kept modding Morrowind after they bought and played Oblivion; that's kind of where we are. We'll be taking every precaution to ensure that customs don't step on RB4's toes, up to and including shutting down entirely if we have to. Hopefully it won't come to that -- we're looking at Rocksmith and Customsforge as role models right now -- but please, everyone, don't walk away with the idea that customs eliminate the need for RB4. Also, "for those that have figured out" suggests that customs are really hard to do, but they're super easy. You need a flash drive and the EA disc version of RB3, nothing else! For anyone still on the fence, here's our brief video tutorial explaining it.

The success of the stem-less Rocksmith should weigh in too.

It would almost certainly go against their vision for the series.

If it's not a great product, it will introduce a lot of lag. Maybe it's common knowledge, but since I use Rock Band on 2 different setups, and my main set up has a great A/V receiver, I had a hard time understanding why on my second set up the drums sound were so lagged. Turning off any sound processing did the trick on my entry level Yamaha.

Minidust posted:What exactly is meant by this? It's the second time I've seen that particular verbiage, so I'm curious. I'm not sure what it implies for a game series with no storyline. I think it's that RB3 tried too much for the short dev cycle it had and some of its features came out a little undercooked. When they tried to squeeze a story mode, new instruments, pro guitar/bass and all the other features in there, not all of them worked as well as expected. RB2 took everything problematic from RB1 and fixed them, didn't try to revolutionize the series, and it came out a bit better. It's more streamlined and succeeds more for that reason. As for RB4, I'm hyped as hell. Haven't played in a year (got a Bone out of the blue last year and gave my 360 to a friend), but I had 500+ songs in my library at my peak of RB3. I'm disappointed they're dropping keys, but then again I was terrible at them anyway and barely used my keytar except as a replacement for a second guitar. Got my hands on Amplitude at PAX for a few minutes which reminded me how much I loving love everything Harmonix does. Then I got up on that dumb Rock Band performance stage in a Pikachu onesie and sang Train in Vain like an attention whore and the six years I poured into the RB series came flashing back to me. Can't loving wait for 4.

Minidust posted:What exactly is meant by this? It's the second time I've seen that particular verbiage, so I'm curious. I'm not sure what it implies for a game series with no storyline. Gameplay wise, Rock Band 3 was a clear step up, what with being able to support up to 7 people bands and have pro instruments and all that, but aesthetically, they're a lot of changes to how the game looks, character customization was completely gutted and rebuilt from the ground up, the animations were gutted and replaced but only like half of them, the UI was spruced up, and while a lot of these changes are basically unnoticeable if you don't pay attention, there are a bunch that kinda ticked people off. Like, one example would be when sorting songs by band name, all band names are in all caps now, whereas in Rock Band 2 they just capitalized the first letter unless the band name was supposed to be all caps. An incredibly minor change that a causal fan wouldn't notice, but for hardcore fans it drives them nuts. The biggest example would be career mode, which is completely different, and the removal of versus mode, which was honestly the only way I played online at all so I was sad to see that go. EDIT: Also, RB3 has graphical glitches up the wazoo, with guitars and basses wobbling erratically on closeups, the mic shaking like mad if the singer doesn't hold it, and I think even on the latest patch, if you start a song in the open arena stadium you'll see the fencing hovering over the crowd for a couple seconds before it finishes loading. Also before TU5, some combinations of songs will just outright crash the game. Also also, the music video stuff just outright looks better in RB2, which is a shame because music video mode is the only way to play with All Instruments. ALSO ALSO ALSO you didn't need to push the button to have the next song in a setlist play, so if you were at a party and nobody wanted to play you could turn on no fail + vocals and load up some party songs to dance to until somebody felt like playing again. ALSO because setlists didn't pause Endless Setlist was a real beast of a mode that required a full day of playing and is easily the most demanding thing I've ever done in a game, but RB3's like whatever, just take a break after every other song, no pressure, go have dinner or something it's cool, I'll be waiting when you get back. Also I don't think you actually get anything by beating it in RB3, which is bullshit. SatansBestBuddy fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Mar 10, 2015 |

RB3 is less of a game than RB2 but there's no way I'd go back to RB2. The independent lane speed alone makes RB3 the only choice for parties.
