Wow ... apparently, you were playing 'Crack Rock Band' and not the same game I was playing.
You are in the minority on this. Any game that can get nongamers playing it is, IMHO, a very good game. You say you own this game - and want your money back. Sell it for a profit on eBay or craigslist - trust me, someone will buy it. And you'll be satisfied.
But ... judging from your post, I am still trying to figure out why in the devil did you spend that much on a game and NOT do any kind of research ... which leads me to believe you are lying through your teeth on this one ...
Buried as inaccurate ...
OK HERES THE DEAL. IT WAS BLACK FRIDAY AND I WENT TO BEST BUY REALLY EARLY IN THE MORNING. I KNEW WHAT ROCKBAND WAS BUT DIDNT CARE FOR IT NEITHER WANTED TO BUY IT. APPERANTLY MY FRIEND KNEW ENOGUH TO INFORM ME THAT I SHOULD BUY IT. THE WHOLE MORNING HE WENT BABBLING THAT I SHOULD GET IT.i didnt want to but he convince me. he said it would be awesome as we can all meet up and play at the same time. i agreed. unfortunately i commited a huge mistake. i pay 180 dollars for it and expected it to be kind of like gh but better. but no. an hour after we started playing all my friends were like can we play something else, i said why, they answer me with a terrible answer. this game sucks. i agreed but didnt want to say anything. i hate the songs in this game, they are all bad, no fun songs like in gh3. on top of that the guitar feels light, unresponsive and plain sucks. the microphone feels weird and my friends and i can barely get a note right. the graphics suck compare to gh3 and the desigh is terrible. oh and the drums are very hard and not fun at all to use. so yes i bought the game. yes i should have done my research. yes i felt the need to buy it cause of my friends comments and because it was black friday. and yes this game complete sucks. i really want to cry.
Putting the Box back in Ninlen!
| rocketpig said: I've been playing this game non-stop for the past few days and after logging serious time with the game, Mass Effect and Bioshock are slowly getting bumped down the GoTY list while Rock Band shoots up like a rocket. IMO, this is the greatest party game of all time and when combined with DLC, it has the potential to be played for years on end (or whenever the sequel hits shelves). It even surpasses my former favorite party game, Wii Sports. It's that much fun. Drums are incredible (just wait 'til Enter Sandman, you go apeshit while playing it), singing is surprisingly fun (even with my Gilbert Godfreid singing voice), and guitar/bass is like Guitar Hero turned to 11. Combine all of it into one four-player jam fest and you'll hear more hooting and howling over the game than any other game you'll play. Now I just need to unlock Ballroom Blitz so I can complete my world domination of the drum machine... I already sang Fear the Reaper so that dream is taken care of... Nothing cracks up a bunch of people playing like screaming at your wife "MORE COWBELL!" in the middle of the song because she's not tapping the mic enough. I never thought a "casual" game like this would ever come close to GoTY for me. Anyway, what are some of the thoughts of other Rock Band owners here? Are you playing multiplayer a lot? Single player? Drums? Guitar? Singing? |
Not sure how much I can trust your opinion if Wii Sports is your favorite part game before this one, heh...
I'm not sure it's in my budget this year, but as a huge Guitar Hero fan (who badly wants to play GT3 still), there's almost no way I could not like this game. I can't wait to play the drums or play teh guitar the same time I'm singing.

Just one question, Ninlenbox - were you and your friends sober?

You let someone talk you into doing something you didn't want to do and now you're throwing a fit about it? Maybe you shouldn't let your friends determine what you do all the time and only spend your money on crap you want to buy.
As for the game, there have been reports of the guitars having a few issues, so that much sounds about right. But I don't get the complaint that the drums are too hard...what difficulty were you playing on? I can't imagine they would start you off at an impossibly hard difficulty level. It sounds more like you went into the experience a little bitter because you felt like you had been talked into it, so the slightest bit of adversity went from being something you would use to challenge yourself to something you would use to justify returning the game you never wanted in the first place.
I hope you are able to get your money back, but I also hope you have learned not to let your friend badger you into doing something you don't want to do.

Wow. It sucks to be you. Not because Rock Band has bad music but because you completely fail at the game we call life. No game ever has all the songs you like but if you think Rock Band has nothing worth listening to and your don't have a good time playing this game, you should probably shoot yourself in the head and do the rest of us a favor.
