I think I'm going to pick up GT5 thursday

(again)

I played Majinn and the Forsaken Kingdom demo. The game is shit. I'll buy it when it hits $10 a month after release.

Shit or The Shit?

Rock Band 3.....

If it's shit why would you want it at all?

Did you get a pro guitar? Or the MIDI?

Even a shitty game is worth $5-$10 except Quantum Theory, you should get money for playing that game.

I'm using my old GH2 guitar right now.

I couldn't find anyone with the pro guitars yet and I've heard they arn't coming out till Dec/Jan.

Outside of that the game has changed a bit. The meat and potatoes gameplay is still the same but there isn't much to change there. It feels like the hammer on's are a lot more difficult this year but that could be rust on my part.

The menu screen is completely different and quite odd. The way you play over live is different as well.

I played for about 5 hours last night. The room mate and me just played a ton of quick play. I noticed my "band" was getting fans from just the quick play and when he was signed in using his offline profile he was getting them too. When I played live with a buddy we were both acquiring fans for our separate bands which is a nice change. Last year you had to be the host to get fans.

The song selection is personally not as good as RB2's setlist. RB1 songs are there right in the begining but no option for RB2's song to be imported yet. I've heard they are having licensing issues.

i need to sell my god damn 360

I'm not really digging RB3, mostly because it seems like 75% of the songs have been in previous GH games.

May be better once I get my hands on one of the Pro controllers but until then, meh.

I'm finding that or they just are meh songs.

Bands like Dire Straits, Bowie, Huey Lewis ect are getting boring to play allready.

Finally beat the new Smackdown vs. RAW game's SP Storyline Mode.

Beating Undertaker was anticlimatic, Cena's story was lame and being Jericho meant acting like a bitch-made heel.

The best storyline was Christian's because of the E&C Reunion and the constant 4th wall breaking.

The most interesting was Rey Mysterio's if you chose to be a heel and side with Jack Swagger.

I'd advise waiting until SD 2010 drops in price if you NEED to play a Wrestling game this year.

This post may have well been in Chinese to me.

As far as that last line, I was just in Target and saw a few copies of 2010 on clearance for $18 I think. It was the only game on the clearance shelf besides some bullshit kiddie DS games.

To translate what i posted before: The SP storyline mode is HOT GARBAGE this year.

Shit is basically Pro-Wrestling Madden now because they make you pay for shit that's already on the disc, most of the shit (moves, character models) can be seen in previous games to the point where they don't fiddle with characters anymore aside from the odd logo/color palate swap...

AND...

...aside from the more dynamic table/ladder set up, they managed to fuck up the move system where before you had total control of what you wanted to do in a grapple.

Now? You have to practically press a 5-button combo to do a German Suplex that while probably get countered anyway due to the shitty 1-button counter system in place.

Yeah, that too, but the duped songs from previous games just annoy me. Anthrax has such a huge catalog, all of which would be great to play on a RB game, but they pick one that's already been on a GH game before, several years ago? Same with Skynyrd and STP.

I'm just not feeling it. The setlist is TOO varied, just like GH5, but GH5 at least had a bunch of songs that were fresh and not repeated from previous games...

Ugh. I have too many games that I started and never finished. I need to start chipping away at these.
