Forums - Gaming - My *complete surprise* GoTY... Rock Band!

Fax, the issue is the poster gave litterally no objective information about why the list was bad.

There's a big difference between saying "the list sucks" and nothing else vs. "the list sucks because there is definately not enough thrash and metal bands. A more diverse list of older school light rock songs would of been good".

See the difference? When you state a random opinion without validating your statement is very, very dumb, and usually gets flamed. No one ever likes hearing a guy give one post with only saying "Wii sucks" and never justifies his statement.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

There's never been a figure of speech saying "please shoot yourself in the head" as far as I've been alive. An apple a day keeps the doctor away is a figure of speech. Point is, when somebody bashes a game you like, try not to respond with "kill yourself and do us all a favor" when you're a mod. If you're going to enforce the rules of the forums, at least follow them.

You really shouldn't defend what Rocketpig said, there's no reason to ever tell somebody what he did and I think you know it. If somebodys trolling, you give them a warning or ban them, you don't respond in such an immature way back to the troll. There's no situation that will ever justify it.

QFT. I didnt say anything regarding that "figure of speech" comment as I didnt knwo whether it exists. There is some pretty weird ones of em floating around and since Im not a native speaker - go figure. Sounded really weird to me though, as I have heard most of them.

i think that especially taste in music is highly individual, even more so than in games. I find it funny that you want to judge the guy based on "your" music taste.

Telling someone to shoot himself in the head is not funny.


How exactly is music any different from video games or movies or books any other form of art?  I will judge someone who says a soundtrack with the Who, Rolling Stones, David Bowie, the Ramones, Clash, Pixies, Nirvana, REM, Metallica, etc. sucks big time exactly the same as I would judge someone who said "Super Mario Galaxy sucks big time" or "Citizen Kane sucks big time."

And I did not say that telling someone to shoot himself in the head was funny, so let's dispose of that straw man comment.

Again, I'm not defending it, I just don't see it as being worthy of this much outrage.

Sure this guy has little in the way of a spine considering he bought Rock Band because his friend convinced him to, and then was disappointed when his friend said "this game sucks"... but as long as he doesn't *actually* blow his head off because Rocketpig told him to, I'll get back to discussing video games.

 



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

 

Yeah, just because a mod told someone to kill himself, let's just ignore that and talk about something even though the respective thread creator completely ran off.

ah, now we are talking. Those are the songs? I find all these bands to be absolutely annoying and very much dislike their music. Of course, I am German so I only love David Hasselhoff. Give me a game with songs based on Trueby Trio, Fatboy Slim, any kind of Metalheadz records, Simple 7, A guy called Gerald, 4 hero and Kruder & Dorfmeister. Then we are talking.

Oh, and I really like SMG.

Sorry to go off-topic again, but this monkey is hilarious.  He wins this thread.



Of course the Rock Band song list stinks. Where's the Justin Timberlake? The Jessica Simpson songs? What about Britney? Not even a single Christina Aguilera song! Man, this game stinks. :)

Maybe it needs more Emo music for ninlenbox? That way when you fail at My Chemical Romance songs, you can feel better when you cut yourself. :) ;)
