Re: Rock Band 2

Love the new drum set. Only issue with it is when I get to do my freestyle drum fills I can barely hear them. I know that its velocity sensitive, but I have to hit the **** out of the pads to hear them. Anyone else have this issue? Any settings i can change to adjust it?

Agreed. I wonder if it would help if you turn down the volume for everything except the drums, and just crank your regular volume a little higher. This would result in the drums being a bit louder overall. The fills are super-quiet regardless of how hard you hit the pads IMO. The RB1 drum fills sounded better.

This is still my only major complaint with the game. You can't hear the drum sounds over the actual noise of pounding the pads. They should either make the drums louder by default or make a separate sound slider for drums.

The drums fills are one of my favorite parts of playing drums. Kinda disappointing.

Re: Rock Band 2

My only gripe (personally) is the fact that if you start a setlist with a singer, that singer won't be subbed out if a song later on needs the opposite gender.

I'm sorry, I don't want to see a random male singer busting out Paramore, thank you.

I can understand the limitations, but damn, it would be nice.

Re: Rock Band 2

Anyone else think it would be nice if we could create our own band members when playing single player? Half the time I see people in my band that i'd never let in, lol. Not a major complaint, just sayin'.

The new website is up so you can take pics of your characters and the such though it doesn't seem to be quite working correctly yet but it's there.

You can create your own band members. Just create and assign them as sub's in band details screen. You might have to use each of them for a few sets to get enough cash to dress them like you want.

Not that I have it set up where it's me and 3 scantily dressed Jessica Albas or anything.

You can do this in the World Tour mode but not in quickplay.

TOTALLY agree with this! And the people change every time you go to do a different show. I don't feel like I'm actually in a band...just filling in on someone else's. Thanks for pointing out how to fix that though, Zalf.

Really? That sucks, I was hoping for that in quick play. That was actually one of the things I was looking most forward to.

You can choose your characters in multiplayer quick play.

Oh ok good. That's basically the mode I play in all the time so that'll work. I just don't understand why since RB has a pretty good character creator that you can't design your whole band even if you are only controlling one of them. I'm glad they have it right for most of the modes.

Aside from the solo, they made theirs pretty different from my GH2 note chart.

Offspring seems to have gone away.

Crowd sing-a-long and BRE's on both Bad to the Bone and All Right Now.

That's sad. Offspring isn't just delayed like the Rush stuff was?

I like crowd sing-a-longs, don't really like the BREs though.
