BobDole's Guitar (Rock Band 4 58/65 before practice mode)

Coming from someone who's tracked all of his FC's across GH and RB on all instruments and all difficulties, it is a HUGE PITA! Especially if you're trying to make it chronologically accurate as far as first FCs go.

Amazing work, btw, Dole.

Your commitment and dedication to this game is absolutely amazing.
Great job on playing all PS3 released content in your library and on achieving almost-2600 fcs.
Definitely something to be proud of.

I went through your list and picked out what I think you can FC. And yes, I did read the whole post.

I assume you'll be FCing the new DLC as well?

Since you're sitting at 2598 FCs and the new DLC consists of two songs, are you going to just FC those two to reach 2600 or do you have something else you're working on?

That is the plan, though of course it depends on the difficulty of the songs...I haven't seen or heard either of them yet. I'll probably sightread them on the weekend. I do have a few other songs I've been thinking about, so I might just get my 2600 even if I go 0/2 on the new ones.

New FCs:

RB3 DLC:

532. Rize of the Fenix
533. Back to the Shack

Yeah, neither song was really an issue this time, got my 2600 fairly easily. Rize of the Fenix was actually kind of annoying because it's about 6 minutes long and my game couldn't seem to make it that long without lagging...actually here's what happened. I had a stupid -1 on sightread (not in the strumming, one of those little fills) and then several consecutive runs ruined by lag misses (one in the outro), then I missed again for real while activating overdrive. I FCed on the next run, but because of what had just happened, I didn't use any overdrive at all and ended up not golding it and scoring more than 50k less than I did on sightread (which was a gold). The whole thing was pretty annoying since I didn't particularly enjoy the song; the strumming stuff was kinda fun, but there wasn't much of it, the rest of the song was boring and the song just kinda sucks IMO. Back to the Shack proved far less annoying, got it on sightread, though it's actually harder (maybe). Stupid charting in the solo made me feel like I was playing GH1. Maybe I got a little lucky, but upon looking at it a few times on video, I don't think I would have had trouble getting consistent on it anyway. Rize of the Fenix might actually be the harder song.

Back to the Shack FC, also has pic of Rize of the Fenix

New FCs:

534. I Still Believe

Nuisance of a song, took me two tries. Didn't bother with video or picture. It's basically just annoying high-tempo swung chord changes the whole time, with a few breaks.

And yes, I'm excited for Rock Band 4 and will almost certainly be playing it shortly after it comes out. I never thought I would be willing to buy a console just for one game, but I guess it's going to happen now.

Awesome song, awesome player. I'm looking forward to RB4 as well, and one of the things I look forward to is the systematic destruction of the set list by you, sir

This is all from a few months ago and without practice mode, though I read that practice mode was to be added in a June update. As it's now July, I assume that the game now has practice mode. If it does, I might get back into it and actually start buying the DLC.

48. The Feast and the Famine
49. Prayer
50. Hail to the King

56. That Smell
57. Caught Up in You
58. Start A Band

The broken guitar I refer to was usable of course (I got 44 FCs with it) but it had a major problem with the blue fret...it wouldn't register very well, so I had to really jam it down to hit stuff. Very frustrating and sometimes painful on certain songs, but I wasn't just going to not play the game while I waited for my new guitar to arrive. I like the setlist (for the most part) and the tour mode was pretty fun for awhile; I couldn't stay away from it.

One thing that pisses me off about this game, besides the fact that the dev team didn't consider practice mode to be an essential feature: LANES ARE STILL BROKEN. Goddamnit I hate those things so much. I think it's telling that I basically managed to FC everything that doesn't have lanes (only exception: Dream Genie) and my best FCs at the moment (Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo, Caught Up In You, Start A Band) are all lane-free songs. Hell, I actually have FCed Caught Up In You 4 times and Start A Band 3 times...and Toys in the Attic 0 times. Why? LANES.
