Broken Rock Band Instrument Rate Extremely High

For the most part it's the guitars having their necks falling off and for others the strumming wears out after a couple hours on hard songs. Some have even reported their drums being busted in pieces.

After reading the forums people are having serious issues with the instruments....

BISHOP-BRASIL6003d ago

Same here... Also the total undertake on the bass lines keep me away from this... Even Guitar Hero gives it more attention (and it is called "Guitar" Hero).

Omegasyde6003d ago

After reading about all the problems with Rockband, I am glad I waited. I was originally going to pick up guitar hero 3 but I thought I would wait on the proposed goodness that many review sites said that Rock Band was a great game... but ...

Did reviewers actually rate the whole package besides just what was on the disc? From the sounds of it most reviewers ignored the "instruments" completely. Heck you can hum through the songs in the microphone sections of the game. You can finish some songs just humming
"LA LA LA LA" at the right time.

Since this is a game based on using "instruments" and many reports of instruments for rock band failing or breaking... Why would anyone buy this game over Guitar Hero 3? Even though harmonix made guitar hero 1 and 2, the game was still published by MTV (which the channel sucks now) and even worse EA, a company notorious for cutting corners and rushing games.

My rant is done, and I am glad I waited on making the decision to pick up RockBand Guitar Hero 3 instead. Another great rushed job, EA.

I have this on backorder at Newegg but I'm considering cancelling it in light of these news. It seems the hardware for both GHIII and RB are pretty bad so it's really hard to want either too much now.

Expy6003d ago

Maybe it's a good thing it was delayed in Canada. Maybe they could fix it up before I get it.

X6003d ago

I've noticed problems when trying to do quick notes of the same color. I prefer to just strum downward rather than both directions. There seems to be a delay in the system registering the presses when I try to quickly strum down in the menus, and then it moves real quickly. Yet if I use the pad there is no delay. So I can't tell if it's something with the bar or the wireless signal.

Expy6003d ago

The hardware is very very poor. It seems like EA just made it to cut costs as much as possible and sell it to the consumers at a low price to seem like a bargain... But what they really get, is a good game that has cheap intruments that can break very easily.

You think Peter Moore brought over the "plague" from Microsoft? :P

Omegasyde6003d ago

Not Moores fault. But Microsoft and Rock Band have something in common, Each of the two cut cost and get their parts from cheap Chinese factories .

guitarfanboy6003d ago (Edited 6003d ago )

Hopefully it's not a complete pain in the ace to get the broken stuff replaced. I mean, come on! They must be sling shotting these d*mn bundles to the stores.

This almost makes me as mad as router companies. Lookin at you, Linksys.

Still, Expy. It's like putting a coin in a slot machine anytime you purchase a videogame that has instrument peripherals. Crossing my fingers. I hope I get a jackpot.

Expy6003d ago

Apparently it's fast and free, however, they require credit card information for liability issues.

popup6003d ago

One poor guy's drums apparently collapsed due to high levels of settling atmospheric particles.

Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell Of Ar Ciel Retro Review – Love Conquers All

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.

Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.

That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.

Knightofelemia3d ago

Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.

TheColbertinator3d ago

I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.

Used to own all these quirky JRPG on ps3 good times. Wish I would have kept them all

Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX

This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
