I think I rode up too high on the pedal during YYZ.

dennis · « **Reply #201 on:** 27 Feb 2009, 06:17 »

Since the hinge area is the only unreinforced place on the pedal, it's where it's going to break when it does break.

Rock Band 2 for the 360 has officially been ordered and it should be here Monday yesssssssssss.

Trollstormur · « **Reply #204 on:** 27 Feb 2009, 17:21 »

here's my plan for a replacement

I'm going to construct an electronic drum pad, and attach it upright to a base and install the double pedal off my regular drum kit for it /nod.

I'll finally be able to play Twilight of the Thunder God by Amon Amarth!

And of course Rock Band 2 came in 10 minutes before leaving for work so I only really got a chacne to tear the box apart and leave the drum pieces all over the counch so I can put it all togethor after work.

Don't they make electronic triggers specifically for bass pedals?

I bought the $30 replacement pedal they sell at Best Buy. It's actually not bad. It's a pull-spring design, rather than a push-spring like the stock pedal, so it's more responsive.

Trollstormur · « **Reply #207 on:** 03 Mar 2009, 15:39 »

i must go check that one out.

I lent my kit to a friend for a week and he broke the stock pedal. To repay me, he got me this 3rd-party pedal that is a little smaller and sticks up at a more extreme angle to your ankle.
As such, the hinge of the pedal isn't strained nearly as much and therefore doesn't break. When the actual pedal itself broke in half, I just bolted some siding onto either end of the pedal and now it has been transformed to some sort of epic indestructible monster pedal. Now if only I could keep up with Mike Portnoy's ridiculous bass beatz.

SilentJ · « **Reply #209 on:** 03 Mar 2009, 19:35 »

oh dude Mike Portnoy is pretty ridiculous

(...wait, is there Dream Theater DLC for rock band 2? I must have missed it)

AngelofShadows · « **Reply #210 on:** 03 Mar 2009, 20:10 »

Outside of Panic Attack and Constant Motion, no.

Though if they did, I would buy it. I would want Forsaken and As I am. Love those songs.

Trollstormur · « **Reply #211 on:** 04 Mar 2009, 07:16 »

I can play lots of dream theater!

sightread :3

AngelofShadows · « **Reply #212 on:** 16 Mar 2009, 10:22 »

losing my religion is fun to play

Also....my band

My band could totally kick your bands ass! :p

How did you guys get screenshots without the bars across?

Unrelated: Rock Band: Beatles Edition announced! Thoughts? I'm going to get it.

Trollstormur · « **Reply #214 on:** 17 Mar 2009, 20:10 »

i 4 starred Painkiller, and that motherfucker kills my leg. I have a powerful fucking leg as it is what with the drumming, and 87% was what I could get doing my best.

dennis · « **Reply #215 on:** 18 Mar 2009, 06:50 »

The Beatles Rock Band is something I think I can live without. I don't hate the Beatles, but I'd much rather just have straight DLC.

Cadeonehalf · « **Reply #216 on:** 18 Mar 2009, 07:43 »

I don't know, RedOctane and Activision have gotten their shots at making "Band specific" rhythm games, and GH: Aerosmith was decent. I think that, based on all the headlines its been getting (And the fact that Harmonix confirmed they aren't releasing RB3 until Q1 2010 because they want to focus on Rb:Beatles) Harmonix might actually be trying to make this game stand out from everything else. It won't be another Track Pack like the AC/DC game.

Trollstormur · « **Reply #217 on:** 18 Mar 2009, 13:10 »

i don't think i'll buy that game but i might rent it. I generally mostly play the drums and ringo's drumming is kinda boring.

AngelofShadows · « **Reply #218 on:** 18 Mar 2009, 18:35 »

it will be a good party game.

Most people know the Beatles.

That song is a bitch. Took me a few tries to beat it, but I got it eventually.

Trollstormur · « **Reply #220 on:** 27 Mar 2009, 19:28 »

i'll say this for GH:WT, it's made me better at rockband songs.

that game is much harder than RB

SilentJ · « **Reply #221 on:** 27 Mar 2009, 23:44 »

I'm surprised how much overlap in the song choices there is between the Rock Band setlist and the GH:WT setlist. That said, in terms of guitar anyhow, I find myself liking Rock Band more than GH:WT more and more as time goes on. The songs only on WT are pretty awesome, but seeing how the note charts differ between RB and WTis kind of a turn-off, and I feel like the RB note charts are more correct (see: Everlong).

Plus the drums for WT took a lot of getting used to, not only because the notes look pretty different and all, but also because there's a much shorter grace period for note hits.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #222 on:** 28 Mar 2009, 10:45 »

So, anyone looking forward to Best Day Ever?

that and hitting or missing a note makes your rockmeter go way up or down, you can go from red to green in a measure and a half and god help you if you toss a stick, which is remarkably easy when you miss a cymbal and the stick gets caught underneath it.

SilentJ · « **Reply #226 on:** 28 Mar 2009, 18:49 »

Which is even more embarassing when you do it on a rock band kit without the cymbal attachments. I don't know how I do it, but like one out of every five songs it happens that I somehow get a stick caught underneath a pad.

AngelofShadows · « **Reply #227 on:** 29 Mar 2009, 09:58 »

I got some of the tracks from Ten, Jeremy, Black, and Evenflow.

Evenflow seems harder to play on hard in RB than GH.....and that boggles my mind.

dennis · « **Reply #228 on:** 29 Mar 2009, 19:06 »

I'll consider picking up GH:WT when I can use my RB guitar on it. I hate the GH fret buttons.

SilentJ · « **Reply #229 on:** 30 Mar 2009, 00:14 »

If you're on a 360, the rock band guitar already works with WT, I use it for both. I kinda like the GH guitar though, especially that slider in the middle of the neck.

AngelofShadows · « **Reply #230 on:** 30 Mar 2009, 06:52 »

I like the fret buttons on the RB controller, but hate the strum bar, and the opposite for the GH. The new one I hate, cause the slider bar is fucking pointless, as you can just finger tap on the regular buttons.

dennis · « **Reply #231 on:** 30 Mar 2009, 08:15 »

Oh, that's good. I suppose the drums work, too?

Now if they'd make the RB guitar work in the previous Guitar Heros I'd be able to get some achievements.

Trollstormur · « **Reply #232 on:** 30 Mar 2009, 09:13 »

the RB drums work for GH, i don't know if GH drums work for Rb.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #233 on:** 30 Mar 2009, 12:07 »

I think they released a patch that allows that now.

After doing an internet search; Yes, yes they do.
