Re: Rock Band 2

Im def looking forward to RBN. It looks like our selection of songs is going to get ALOT bigger. Hopefully its as good as Im hoping it will be.

Don't get your hopes too high. I'm not sure what people are expecting here exactly. I keep trying to tell people it'll be like the community games. Anything like Sub Pop wants to do will be very,very rare. Might be some foreign labels or perhaps even a label like Epitah on board but don't expect Pink Floyd.

Re: Rock Band 2

Has anybody done the 82 song setlist in Rock Band 2. It looks pretty intense.

I did it about a year ago. It is not something I ever plan on doing ever again. It's just way too long. I recommend trying for it once, but not necessarily going after Bladder of Steel.

Oh and for the love of God, if you can't beat Visions, or some other song on whatever difficulty you're going to try on, don't bother. I'm amazed at the number of sob stories on the RB.com forums where people who can't do Visions try the ESL and then get pissed when they can't finish it.

On the bright side, it's good to know that if one fails a song in the Endless Setlist and subsequently hit "Retry", you continue the setlist from that song.

I didn't know this, and got all the way up to Painkiller (the very last song) before I failed a song. My friends were laughing hysterically at me until we discovered that little but oh-so-critical design decision Harmonix made.

As for Visions, yeah that "song" nearly kicked my butt and I have no desire to play it ever again.

"Visions" and "song" don't belong in the same sentence, quotation marks or not.

Re: Rock Band 2

So if I do a setlist (not trying to do any achievements or anything, just beating the setlist), do I have to do it all then and there, or can I quit at any time and finish it later?

Because I really don't want to do those huge 90 song setlists if I have to do it all in one sitting.

Re: Rock Band 2

I'm pretty sure you can save and come back.

I don't have the game in front of me, but I'm fairly certain that it only works that way in Challenge Mode and not Career Mode. If this is in fact true, the Endless Setlist is part of Career Mode, so one wouldn't be able to stop and save.

I could be wrong though, but this is my impression.

Re: Rock Band 2

Yes, I mean Challenge Mode. Thank you.

Sure they do.
There is no definiton of the word song that Visions fits.

You have to do it straight through. You can't back out and save your progress.

Come again?

So if I choose one of those setlists that's labeled like "Classic Rock" or something and it has one hundred songs, I have to play them all in one sitting? Or can I go to fifty songs, save my progress, back out and finish it two days later?

This is Challenge Mode I'm referring to, BTW.

Challenge mode you can back out of and it'll save your progress. You can even change difficulty when you come back to it.

Okay, thanks for the clarification.

Re: Rock Band 2

Okay, thanks for the clarification.

Right, I was talking about the Endless Setlist, where you cannot save progress. In all the tour challenges, you can save your progress and back out at any time.
