And how is there any debate about the worst on-disc song when Visions was an on-disc song?

It's also like 2 minutes and change, dude. Even if you do mind it, it's practically done as soon as it starts.

Are we only including RB in this? Because Made In Mexico - Yes We Can would like to have a word with you.

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but has anyone on PS4 been able to redownload the Doors pack? 95% of my DLC downloaded fine, but nothing from this pack is showing up as purchased, whether I look at the pack or the singles.

Couple things.

1) I didn't notice any update when I booted today for XBox One. I did get an update the first time I booted up, on Wednesday.

2) I am unable to Browse by Pack for DLC. There is literally nothing for me to browse. It is empty. Other screens let me search "Call Me" to "Coffin Nails" etc

e: Also, "Purchase options" doesn't list any other options. I presume that is where I am able to see what pack(s) it is part of?

1) I didn't get an update until I tried to play a DLC song (I thought the song was updating at first and got very confused)

2) Yep. I think packs still work through the Xbone Store itself, though.

On PS4 at least, that button does nothing unless there is a pack containing the song. Kind of confusing on singles.

Received my legacy adapter last night and got everything set up. Didn't have any calibration issues, which I was worried about after reading the thread, so I feel like I dodged a bullet there. Overall the game is Rock Band, so it's going to be fun, but it's kind of hard to to be spoiled by customs. I'm trying to keep my expectations realistic. Legacy harmonies are the best, though. Thanks again for those!

This is why the only Johnny Cash songs we got were the 80s rerecordings.

Why doesn't the game actually pause when I hit the pause button with a band? Can they fix that so its not dumb.

Also remember I don't want to do freestyle solos I always have to unselect them when I start the game.

I'm sort of confused about the firmware stuff for ps4. I understand that the drums are wonky and need the firmware update, but is there something for the guitar as well?

For the PS4, both the drums and the guitar need an update.

For the XBone, it's just the drums.

Hold the button. That's there so that people who are new aren't accidentally hitting pause and interrupting everyone. Like Peter Moore did when they first did a stage demo at E3 years back.

All through the day, I me mine
In RB3 there was an oversight where it was counter-intuitive to read the Harmonies detailed results by mic because they forgot to change the player colors from the ones used in Beatles.
In RB4 they addressed this issue by removing any information whatsoever from the results screen.

Adding harmonies to all old DLC is probably the biggest improvement RB4 has, and that was the part of the game HMX didn't make. :v:

I'm really confused. I thought once I had the game installed, I could easily view old DLC I've bought and then download it 1-by-1. Do I just have to go through the entire list of DLC and pick out whatever I bought blind?

What you are describing is how it should work, but as of now it works correctly about 1/3 of the time. If you click something and you own it, it'll download, if it doesn't recognize your purchase, it'll pop the credit card screen.

Basically I thought I could go to manage game and it would show me anything I bought then I had to go into it 1-by-1 to download. Instead I just have to go to the store and filter through everything I guess? Even the steps listed on the RB4 page lead me to think that is the way it has to be D:

Well the best way would probably be to follow along through your download history on the Xbox website (or Playstation, assuming they have an equivilent).

Also, I really wish the choose a song sets in career mode didn't limit you to a dozen or so on-disc songs to choose from, paricularly since I actually the career mode's fundamentals better than RB3's aside from that (and the fact that scores there don't save to quickplay). To anyone who's finished the main career path, any chance the selection restrictions get removed for post-game or subsequent playthroughs?

I'm looking through the full list of Rock Band DLC on Wikipedia to see if there's some good stuff I've missed, and I seriously had no idea some of these tracks were DLC instead of on-disc songs. For example, I could have sworn Message in a Bottle was an on-disc song in RB2, but it actually came out in a pack with Blondie's Call Me and Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Man several months before RB2. :stare:

I guess all the DLC songs and exports start to blur together after all these years.

I'm guessing we don't know if the songs from the old games will be available to buy if we didn't export cause we switched consoles?
