Title: Can we all agree that Green Day: Rock Band is the Worst Game of the Year?
Post by: Joe Molotov on June 09, 2010, 08:23:37 PM: I mean, let's break it down.

1. It's not Rock Band 3.
2. It's not even Guitar Hero: Van Halen.
3. Who the crap would want to play through 47 Green Day songs? :yuck

To conclude, Harmonix can sit on it and rotate. If it wasn't for the fact that I though Dookie was a pretty good album when I was in high school, I wouldn't have wasted $18 on this crap.

Title: Re: Can we all agree that Green Day: Rock Band is the Worst Game of the Year?
Post by: Bloodwake on June 09, 2010, 09:28:15 PM: Strategy:

-Go to hastings and rent the game since they keep all the papers in the rental case
-Get the code off the back of the instruction manual
-Pay $10 bucks for Dookie and the other shitty songs
- NEVER FUCKING PLAY THE OTHER SONGS AGAIN BECAUSE I PLAY WHAT THE FUCK I WANT ON ROCK BAND 2

It is hard to get 1000 unless you are a master at drums.

Post by: Diunx on June 09, 2010, 10:00:26 PM: Green Day sucks so I would imagine that a whole game about them must be the worts thing ever made.

Rock Band still beats Guitar Hero because of Export Codes, so I don't have to swap out 15 different discs like some Singstar bullshit. Both franchises are in the shit/bin right now though, as far as I'm concerned. Rock Band's DLC used to be it's main draw, but it's been pretty awful for a while now.

We got FOUR SPOON SONGS last week. That was awesome.

yeah, cause Green Day is known for their vulgarity ::)
It's not like the lyrics in the songs would have prevented the game from getting a T rating.

Why do they have a Rock Band game? They aren't even that popular.

Same here... whenever I'm listening to the radio and that song comes on where they start with "Do you have the time to listen to me whine?" I say "NO!" can change the station as quickly as possible. I don't have time to listen to whiny ass emo bitch "music."

Post by: chronovore on June 10, 2010, 11:15:48 AM: I'd buy Boulevard of Broken Dreams. That's it. That's the whole attraction for me. And it's free in the demo. +0 sales

Plus, the band looks really creepy. They tried to go one step closer to reality than The Beatles style, and it doesn't work.

Menus in the demo are pretty cool though.

They censored "Shit" in Basket Case. It makes no sense.

Doesn't the demo expire in like 2 weeks?

Post by: ManaByte on June 17, 2010, 08:03:59 PM: I think, even though they could've picked a better band (and selecting Green Day was probably just to throw a thank you bone to Warner Music for allowing their artists in Rock Band), that Green Day fits the ROCK Band game better than The Beatles did.

No secret that the Beatles were more of a pop band.

Eh, just more songs for people to play. Dookie ain't that bad anyways.

Expiring demos? When did that start? And would it be two weeks from offering, or per-user, two-weeks after download or first boot-up?

I remember that some demos are no longer available from the marketplace, and of course many multiplayer demos stop offering matching servers, but I've never heard of a local demo taking itself offline.

PS3 games can support expiration dates. On the 360, you NEED TO BE ONLINE as it checks a server to see if it's ok to play the demo.

Post by: Akala on June 19, 2010, 06:01:50 PM: I bought this a week or so ago as a drunk impulse. a few friends came over, and it was the most fun I've had playing rock band in years. sure, about half of the songs are terrible, but the over the top cheese factor really makes it fun. also, about a quarter of the songs are good, and fit the format very well.

*disclaimer* have not played sober yet.
