Complaints about Rock Band 3

Things that disappoint me that actually matter:

- Missing DLC/exports (Should be patched)
- No BNS in practise mode (Should be patched)
- The message when someone online disconnects not giving you any chance to even see the fretboard. (Why not keep their fretboard there and place it over that?)
- Having to wait until friday to get the game. (UK Release Date)
- Removing Score Duel local AND online, i.e. something actually competitive.

Minor things that disappoint me that I can live with:

- The music videos. They seems to be less of a video like the RB2 ones, and more just a stage playing in the background. The venue for Spoonman on RB2 really shows how different and great things are. Jeremy is also good. These ones are flashy, but not very good.

Either I'm very unlucky, or the RB3 pro drum kit is unbelievably terrible.

My first one took an eternity to connect to my Xbox, and when it finally did all the pads, cymbals, and buttons abruptly stopped working halfway through the first song I played. Even when they did work, the cymbals doublehit like CRAZY (literally every single hit) and the pads were too dull to register fast rolls. So I exchanged it for another one.

The second one connected immediately, but had the same cymbal and pad problems. To give you an idea just how shitty the pads are, they are actually worse than my first-generation RB1 kit that's been abused to the point where the red and yellow pads are literally cracked on the inside.

To confirm that it was in fact as awful as it seemed, I did the closest thing to a scientific test that I could. I played Young Man Blues.

Ten attempts with the new kit, never once did I make it past the second roll.

Ten attempts with my RB1 kit, I passed the second roll 10 times--9 of which I wasn't even in the red.

To make sure it wasn't a fluke, I switched back to the new kit and tried again. 5 tries, 5 fails on the second roll. Back to the RB1 kit: 5 tries, no fails.

I also tried playing Rio. The red pad wasn't even sensitive enough to pick up that disco beat. I couldn't come even close to a 4x combo on the easy part.

I really don't know why Harmonix would trust a company with such a well-deserved bad reputation as Madcatz to make their peripherals.

- Lack of BNS in practice mode
- Setlist (you introduce keyboards and then you only put in 1 or 2 Prog songs? Power Metal would be great with keys as well. Stratovarius anyone?)
- No 50% and 60% speed in practice mode
- Possibly not all songs will export

That are my main gripes about it. However, the new sexy UI, god, I want to make love to it over and over again.

- Lack of BNS in Practice Mode
- Removal or 50/60% speed in Practice Mode
- Can't have 7 people playing online?
- Setlist (just an opinion, I'm not a big fan of the songs overall. This isn't important though, seeing as we have so much DLC)
- Only being able to tie a custom character to one band
- Stand-ins now can't be placed on certain instruments, so your bassist might play drums next time

Quite a few problems I have, but I'm sure the core experience will make up for it. Also, the ability to play keytar single-handedly made the game a day 1 purchase

Oh yeah, having to wait until Friday sucks too. (UK release date)

Maybe someone with the game can answer this:

Why is it that most of the time when I try to turn on Breakneck Speed AND Individual Track Speeds it will also turn on BNS for everyone else I'm playing with (local). If they try to turn off BNS, it also turns mine off. This only happens sometimes, but it's very annoying. What's the point of selecting individual track speeds if it doesn't work most of the time?
