[Blue Kitty]

Official list released


God damn I am looking forward to singing Free Bird

[maxusy3k]

I'm so excited that some of the previous Guitar Hero only songs are coming over. Rock Band is just a much better platform to play and enjoy.

Some of the 'new' stuff is pretty great, too!

[Ozymandias]

Meanwhile, the new GH's track list has also been announced and has Bad Brains and Neil Young on it. Which would be mega more exciting if they ever had any decent DLC ever.

The Rock Band 3 setlist is unique among rhythm games in that there's actually very few really terrible bands on it. Like, there's a lot of songs I'm not chomping at the bit to play, but the only ones that make me annoyed that I would have to play at some point are Avenged Sevenfold, HIM, and Slipknot. Everything else is bearable at the very least, and there are some really inspired choices.

[Ozymandias]

Oh goodness Tegan and Sara and Metric and Rilo Kiley and Blondie and Joan Jett I wish I was a lady because this list has some fantastic female vocals.

And then fucking Sister Christian and Free Bird and Space Oddity and yes, Harmonix okay you win.

[Jace]

Honestly, I'm extremely underwhelmed by the setlist, looking over the artists, there's only one or two songs I really want to play. Its not that the bands are terrible, I just don't like them, and I know the people I would play with would want to play things I don't like.

Translation: I am a big fat party-pooper

[Trynant]

So...umm...yeah.

It's out. I got it.

Have only played a handful of songs so far due to needing to attend to programs, but the game is making me giddy as ever.

[Blue Kitty]

I like the new interface and the graphical upgrade.  Haven't been able to do much cause I want to play through it with my cousin, also cause I got Fable 3.

[Trynant]

Have not nearly played through all the songs yet, but have jumped into ones I really wanted to try.

Pro mode drums is a lot harder than you'd think it would be. Very hard to get out of the habit of hitting a tom when I should hit a cymbal.

Pro keyboard is insane.

Bohemian Rhapsody is so, so, so much fun to sing in this game, and quite hard solo. Rock Lobster is hilarious on vocals.

The game seems much more party-oriented than Rock Band 2. While there still are some hard songs in the game (Freebird), it's not nearly as vicious as RB2. Let the DLC account for challenging charts, this game is about playing catchy hits at parties. Still fun to play alone for me though, especially since pro mode makes drums new for me again.

Hope the Squier Stratocaster comes out sooner than later, I don't want to try pro guitar with the MIDI guitar.

[squawk]

So... if I don't actually have any instruments yet, how much am I going to have to blow on this dang ol' game? Are there even any bundles being offered?

[Blue Kitty]

The one thing that really sucks is that all the cool jackets you can get for your character can only be unlocked with Pro Instruments.  My cousin was not happy about that.
