| azrm2k said: Rock band doesnt need a sequel. Harmonix agrees. Therefore you don't have to buy a new bundle since the old instruments will work and you can get just the disc. If you don't care enough to pay the $60 to buy the standalone disc with the 80 master recordings you can still buy RB2 DLC and play it on the first RB game. That's crazy that they are almost making their sequel irrelevant that people don't need to upgrade to play the new DLC. RB2 bundles are moreso for people who haven't jumped on RB1 yet and they get access to all the old DLC so it's a great deal. And let's not try to argue that Harmonix is rushing RB2 to market to milk the consumer. Do I really need to repost that GH vs. RB chart? Activision will put out two GH games for every RB game that gets released. And before anybody yells "But Aerosmith and Metallica are just spinoffs". They cost full price as in buying GH:Aerosmith the standalone disc is the same price as RB2 standalone disc. |
All the things their doing to the game coudlve been introduced in an upgrade. You should listen to the latest 1Up yours podcast they explain it well im to lazy to type it all here. but thats basically it. they couldve just updated it all and introduced a major update you could pay for if you really wanted any of the extras. they didnt have to make RB2.
On they GH spin-offs/cash-ins well RB hasnt been out as long as GH so jsut way it'll come and didnt they just announce that dumbass fog machine? btw i wasnt trying to say that Harmonix was rushing RB2 with it coming a month after the wii version. I mean it was stupid to release part 1 of your game on some console only to announce part 2 right after it.
