RB4 was a complete mess and Mad Catz nearly went bankrupt because of it, IIRC they said that publishing it was a 'big gamble' for them, and they lost hard.

Blame the music industry for charging retarded prices for music licenses. All of that money could have been put toward making the game not shit.

> The port would have been primarily handled by Sumo Digital, integrating the updates that Harmonix will continue to provide in the main game. The game would have been released via Steam, allowing users to use the Steam Workshop to create their own songs and distribute it to others, with curation by Harmonix to avoid copyright infringements

You forgot one.

>STILL don't have all the old DLC i bought
>>
>>334316774
All they needed to do was put more time into development and not try and ship it out before Guitar Hero Live. Also because Harmonix retardedly decided to team up with MadCatz to make the controllers (which were shit) and had to push the game out before MC went under.

I would've gladly waited for another year of development, since we would'nt have missed any good DLC or any meaningful updates

Also Brutal Mode is the most retarded shit I've ever seen
>>
>>334316867
still don't have rock band 2 imports either
they said they would be ready before march, it's the middle of fucking april now god damn

They werent able to acquire the old licenses?

Pretty shit

I, like many people, had never even heard of Fig before this disaster of a campaign.

I just wanted RB4 on steam so modders would fix everything HMX fucked up on the console version
>>
>>334317047
What's FoF?
>>
>>334317070
And it made half the goal

The fuck is fig anyways.

>>334317047
Can I play drums on FoF

Last time I played the guitar felt very...floaty, whats the word, it just felt like I wasnt hitting the notes.
>>
>>334317172
Frets on Fire

>>334317209
I feel that same floatiness on RB4 playing drums. It never feels like I'm actually doing well and hitting the notes because I'm doing well, it feels like I'm cheating the system and trying to work around the horrible lag/calibration
>>
>>334316971
They have the licenses, they're having issues putting them on the store.

Any of the track pack discs, and previous game's bonus tracks aren't available. The bonus tracks were gutted from the main game exports in order to make them preorder bonuses and a 30-dollar DLC pack.
>>
>>334316867
>>334316867
IIRC it's just songs that were delisted and any track pack exports, or at least on X1. I have the exports for RB1/2/Green Day, but missed out on the Lego one.

I'll miss my Bang Camaro RBN songs though.
>>
>>334317273
Damn Is it that bad, I dont remember that on RB2
>>
>>334317041
Fuck even the guitar was a piece of shit that never synced up correctly. Fuck the custom guitar solos though.
>>334316948
Activision literally only had to make guitar hero 3 v2 and make it a little more pretty and it would have been fine. I don't even know who the fuck thought that streamed music videos was a good idea but that was the stupidest shit I've seen in a long time.
>>
>>334317209
This actually brings up a question that I haven't had a chance to ask yet; Can you use the Bone's legacy adapter on PC?
>>
>>334317041
I am actually shocked about how bad the input lag is
story time about this

so we have the input delay on rb4 set to like ~120 ms and everything except the piece of shit drums work fine
one day we felt like playing the older songs on the ps3 (before the imports were out) so we plugged that in, on the same tv using the same exact hdmi cable, and when we calibrated we were shocked to find that the input delay was like 20ms and every instrument worked perfectly
rock band 4 is a shockingly bad game and it literally should not have been legal for them to release it in the state it's in
>>
>>334317370
It's horrible. I'll look for a video of the input lag on the drumkit, it's disgusting.

>>334317393
The guitars have the same input lag which is part of why custom solos are unplayable

>>334317431
I know, and I'm one of those fucking idiots who bought an xbox one and a new tv just to play it
>>
>>334317431
>rock band 4 is a shockingly bad game and it literally should not have been legal for them to release it in the state it's in
But it's okay because it's a "platform" that they'll keep building on. And Harmonix is a totally hip and cool indie developer who's not shackled by the MTV and EA devils!

EA really kept them on a leash.

Don't forget about the SJWs, which is why we can't have any body types but default, and all clothing is unisex.
>>
>>334317582
I don't give a shit if they release every dlc forever for free, the drums are fucking unplayable and apparently will never be fixed so unless they have a fucking re-call for them and either give me ones that actually work correctly they can lick my nut sack
>>
>>334317667
And the lack of a gender selection, instead you get "masculine" and "feminine" body types.
>>
>>334317582
I wish their stupid fucking Fig campaign succeeded just so I could finally play a fixed, modded RB4 and download cracked DLC and customs for free and never have to give them any of my money again

>>334317667
>>334317759
And why the vocalists don't change based on the singer of the original song. I wouldn't be surprised if they used the political correctness excuse just to be lazy and not program different body types/changing vocalists
>>
>still no ion drumrocker support

Geuss I will never buy rock band 4
>>
>>334317667
They didn't even bother with character creation, lets be completely honest.
>>
>>334317667
>muh SJWs
Pretty sure that's just Harmonix being lazy/incompetent like they did with the rest of the game.
>>
>>334317661
But can I play drums on it.
>>
Fuck, this thread is bumming me out.

Make your dream 8 pack, either themed around a band or a genre or something

>>334317832
Supposedly it wasn't even going to be in the game until way way into development
>>
>>334317661
Not for the reason I like these games. The character creator.
>>
>>334317854
yes
Territories and Test for Echo are two fun songs
>>
>>334317759
Oh god I forgot about that.

IIRC one of the things they added in the first patch was new clothing that was advertising some homosex dating site.

SO PROGRESSIVE BRAVO HARMONIX

I will accede RB4 has had some really mediocre DLC. I even kind of regret it.

But calling it the single worst thing you ever paid for?

I'd say that time I bought a WrestleMania ticket then didn't go because I was afraid of traffic was far worse...
>>
>>334318459
But...It was released for RB3 which did have keys, and it was one of the most fun charts in the game
>>
>>334318630
yeah you just play chords during the synth solo

>>334318572

Think where we are

But the DLC selection is the least of this game's problems

I'm over music games anyway. It's still fun to pull out RB3 when friends and family are over sometimes, but that doesn't justify me buying a new, worse version of the game I already have.
