    I did a little more career today. I seem to either hand a decisive beating, or take one. Not really much in between in the way of a competitive fight. I can finally throw a head kick now, after levelling up my Muay Thai. The Judo sessions are brutal, though. I think I've completed 5 tasks in 2 tries.

    I got Cro Cop'd again. Then beat by Mark Coleman in my last fight. I seem to be getting my ass kicked against the experienced fighters. I hope after my next Muay Thai camp, if I get enough points to level up, I'll get some kind of flying knee special.

    You get higher valued sponsors over time, but you only get the points for each logo once. The extra 9 THQ logos? Pointless.

    Pretty sure I got 350 sponsor cred for my last fight. 35 x 10 logos. Probably not how it should be, but I think that's how it's working.

    I found my character after all. I figured I'd still have to go to New Career, since I hadn't actually gone beyond the character creation, but after saving, I had to Load Career.

     

    I am having fun with it now. Got myself a Judo/Muay Thai heavyweight. I think I'm 7-1-0 now. Got Cro Cop'd pretty nicely. By Cro Cop, appropriately enough. My first actual card win was KO of the night via Muay Thai whip, knee to the head.

     

    For the sponsor logos on your trunks, I just loaded up 10 for THQ, since they give you 35 cred over 20 for everyone else. I don't know if it makes any difference with the size of the logo. And you'd think the more variety of sponsors you have, the more that'd help. But I guess not. Has anyone noticed any hidden depth to that whole process?

    Ok, fuck this noise. I just spent at least half an hour poking around creating my character, I saved, then was told to play with my attributes. I didn't see that in the menu right away (it is actually there), so I pressed B to go back. And now my fighter's gone. gssmiley-indifferent.gif

     

    You know, not that it looked like me, without any real definition to the beard, or length on the hair, or the colours actually showing up like the colours. But cripes.

    I opened my copy tonight. It's pretty good for what it is, and a solid first effort. I kinda like it, definitely don't love it so far. Pretty sure it's going back to EB before the week's done.

     

     

    Why is that?

    Full $69 +tax store credit if it's traded back within a week. Not for every game. It just happened to be for this one. If I don't love the thing, I'd might as well get near $80 for something else.

    Cambridge, MA – May 12, 2009 -- Harmonix, the leading developer of music-based games, and MTV Games, a part of Viacom’s MTV Networks, (NYSE: VIA, VIA.B), along with distribution partner Electronic Arts Inc.

    “Rock Band loves country music too, and these tracks are among the most fun to play of any we've released to date,” said Paul DeGooyer, Senior Vice President of Electronic Games & Music for MTV Networks Music Group. “We’ve received a ton of requests from fans to bring more country to the game, and our artist partners responded. We're very excited to be able to offer this set, featuring some of the greatest songs ever recorded.”

     

    Rock Band Country Track Pack is a standalone software product that allows owners of Rock Band® and Rock Band®2 to keep the party going with 21 songs from an outstanding mix of country artists, including Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, Shania Twain, Rascal Flatts and the legendary Kenny Rogers. Many of the tracks will be exclusive to the Rock Band Country Track Pack disc for a limited time before joining the Rock Band® Music Store as downloadable content. Additional artists and songs from the track list will be announced in the coming months.

     

    In addition, Rock Band Country Track Pack, like all Rock Band software, is compatible with all Rock Band instrument controllers, as well as most Guitar Hero® and other current third party video game instrument controllers.

     

    Fans who buy the Rock Band Country Track Pack for Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 system can play directly from the disc or download the songs onto their consoles’ hard drives through a free offer with Xbox LIVE® online entertainment network or the PlayStation®Network. Once downloaded, the songs will automatically appear in the player’s custom Rock Band library and can be integrated into setlists and played in all game modes. With more than 660 tracks available in the Rock Band music catalogue and regular releases of downloadable content every week, Rock Band Country Track Pack is yet another way music-lovers can continue to expand and customize their music libraries.

    Pics of Lennon's and Harrison's stand alone gutairs to be able to buy with Beatles: Rockband. For 99 dollars, hopefully together and not each because I might buy Lennon's but not for a c-note.

    Had some extra HTTPs in there.

     

    I have a feeling it is $99 each, given that the standalone RB2 guitar is $69. Licensing costs/gratuitous Beatles markup FTW.

     

    Or maybe it's actually a better guitar. I dunno. I haven't especially liked any Rock Band guitar I've used yet, so an improvement would be nice.

    Neat. "Stricken" is one of the few Guitar Hero III songs I genuinely enjoy. Doesn't mean I'll grab it, necessarily, but I'll check it out.

    Bah. I thought it might be on-disc somehow. Nope, just a download code and some Collector's Edition type stuff.

     

    That's not a bad deal if you haven't bought anything yet. I imagine people who have bought the map packs will feel cheesed (judging by the Major Nelson comments). Though I suspect they would've charged $20 for 7 maps and a new SP level on their own. The existing maps thrown in are probably considered a bonus for those who don't have it yet.

     

    Edit: The Snowblind, Combustible and Flashback packs are currently going for 2,000MSP ($25) combined, for what it's worth.

    Maybe it's just me who is turning into an old fucker, but does a magnifying glass for the DS exist? I never had any vision problems, always 20/20 and all, but even just 30 minutes of glaring at the screen hurts my eyes.

     

    I bought the system last summer mainly for the old school JRPG remakes. At the rythmn I can play, I'm gonna be good for at least ten years.

    This might be a dumb question, but is the screen brightness maybe too high or too low?
