[GUITAR] Gold Star Cutoffs (477/500+ Songs)

hey just a quick question about the scores. I was reading over my setlist and if the cut-offs are correct I'm way above on around 5 or so songs on Rock Band 1 with the patch.

Are the bracketed scores actually rock band 1 cut offs and thoase not in them just rb2 cut offs?

just wondering because I'm confused why I don't have more gold stars

The number in parentheses is what the Gold Star cutoff WOULD have been back before the patch was added. It's pretty much just there for cosmetic purposes, to show just how much easier some of these songs are then they were 'back in the day.'

The current cutoffs for Rock Band 2 are identical to the cutoffs in Rock Band 1 after the patch for all instruments except Vocals. So these scores will work for either game.

If you got your score BEFORE you added the patch in Rock Band 1, your songs won't immediately turn to Gold. You'll have to play the song again and hit at least the new cutoff value to be 'awarded' Gold Stars.

If you're hitting the listed cutoffs and STILL not getting Gold Stars, I'm not sure what the problem is. A few people have said they needed to delete the RB1 patch and redownload it to get it to work correctly.

ok it was that I had either got the scores before the patch but for those after I had to redownload the patch, then I jumped up around 8 or so gold stars.

thanks for the great response, it did help and keep up the great work

It isn't much, but your GS cutoff for Everlong is a little high.

Everlong: 227,574

GS came at the last second, more likely within half-second, on the very last held note.

FINALLY! I needed some cutoffs. I've always been wondering why I've been getting GS when I'm no where close to a good score.

Combine this thread with approximate scores for pathing, and you're set.

IIRC, Well Thought Out is supposed to be Well Thought Out Twinkles.

[Edit: I misread the song title thinking it was Twinkies instead of Twinkles XD Oopz. I fixed that >_>]

Thanks for the work guys, but I think you shoul re-add the RB 1 thingy (if you transfer the songs to RB2 you can't play them, etc.)

Also, Peridot, I'll post here everytime I find a cut-off that isn't exact in this thread (found no one as of now, but most of my gold stars were in a too fast point of the song so I couldn't see it perfectly

Here's a good question: are the AC/DC songs considered on disc songs, since you have to buy the disc in order to get them, or are they DLC, since you can export them to the HDD?

Same question goes to the 20 free songs: are they DLC cause they have to be downloaded, or are they RB2 songs cause you need to game in order to download them at all?

Speaking of quick reference, have you thought about putting the newest songs in that empty third post you made?

You know, rather than having to scan a list, we can just scroll to the thrid post and see the cut-offs for this weeks songs.

Yeah. >.>
