RB4 FGFC on vocals!

It's been awhile.

Here is the obligatory announcement about fc'ing rb4 vocals. I took my time through various real life work (life is really busy now) but got all the songs fc'ed.

My thoughts:

This is definitely the weakest setlist in all the rockbands. I usually like the Harmonix band songs, but those songs were absolutely horrid for vocals (Birth in Reverse, Recession, Cold Clear Light). I could never figure out what key the singer was singing in for a couple songs, and it seems the charting is not helpful. It also doesn't help that I do not like U2. At all...

The hardest song is Cold Clear Light by far. I did more retries in that song than all the other songs combined (plus it started a fight with my wife because she also hated the song and didn't want to hear it anymore). It seems that the charting is slightly off on her already offkey pitch, making it a guess for quite a few phrases exactly what rb4 wants you to sing. I probably could have fc'ed this a lot quicker if practice mode still existed. Oh well, it reminded me of rb1 days.

As for the engine itself, it is extremely unforgiving for people in my range (bass). If I tried to switch octaves midsong the arrow would waver all over the place. There were times that I was absolutely positive that I was on pitch only to have it snap in place halfway through the phrase.

While that wasn't enough to deny my the fc, I'm afraid it's enough not to make me continue voxtar. There's way to much concentration to be had doing multi instruments to see what's going on with the engine itself and mess with that. I'll probably throw some scores on, but double fc's will have to wait until rock band 5

Previously on my accomplishments.....

Totals so far:

443 voxtar fc's

421 voxbass fc's

59 voxkey fc's

19 pro voxkey fc's

Look, someone actually had to point out that singing "solo" meant singing alone. This is why we allow people to work registers at McDonald's that can't make change and it makes me want to run my face under a belt sander. For the love of tits, how can you be on the internet in 2012 and not think "maybe I can Google this word I should have learned in first grade before making a thread about it".

Way easier than rb2?

I was hoping they'd amp up the difficulty, ala Beatles, again.

Nice job on the FGFC tho

You have a patient friend, haha.

If it's so easy that means I can get straight to the pathing and squeezing

Nice job Oak, you took care of this rather quickly!

What's your opinion on the setlist, now that you've heard every song?

so many replies... Thank you all for your interest!

Shadowolf: thanks!

skeltonath: yeah, I first had troubles with the engine, I started with Bohemian rhapsody lol. Going to the first 70ish songs, I found it incredibly easy. There were some phrases I know I would have missed in rb2 or rb1, but thanks to vibrato (fills pie quicker) and being in the general area still gave me the awesome. Thanks and yes my friend was very patient with me (he's actually an old student lol)

masternobody: Engine is very loose and very forgiving. I would expect those who are used to and are good at vocals to have the fgfc very soon. Bohemian rhapsody and good vibrations are the only two that might keep people from the fgfc I don't know if I'd go as far as going over to GH

bclare: lol, thanks! I'm going to save my banner stuff for multi tasking though, I have a feeling lots of people are going to have this soon...

RJ:

Thanks RJ! I still want to fc your streams, just waiting for the next one!

sokushi: Thanks, and I'm looking forward to and sort of not looking forward to over 1500 songs to do and redo in the rb3 engine.

Fury: Thanks! It's easy, trust me, lots of sightread fc's.

indestructibleSD: pathing and squeezing is going to be even more important I'm sure in rb3. I didn't path at all, and there are tons more points in each song to get (most had a quarter bar left). There's no iffy talkies and from what I got strange windows to mess things up here. The only glitches I ran into were remedied by backing out and restarting the song.

unknownsoul: LOL, I literally did laugh out loud, thanks!

thewinnerisgeeg: there are some epic songs to be had in the setlist, about 10 I did not enjoy at all. As a vocalist, there were a couple singers (I'm not going to say which band) couldn't stay on pitch. I hate that. Overall, I enjoyed the setlist, and really liked singing in different languages (spanish and german). It added something different to the norm.

Yea, I guess it's fair that you fgfc'ed the game before it even came out

Firstly, congratulations!

How are the talkies? Is it just a case of saying any old jive or am I going to have to continue to "loud whisper" my way through them?

Wow good job, I got the game early and after playing through many songs I was starting to think "ok maybe I could get a FGFC" and then BAM, I fail out on bohemian rhapsody. Good Job with that one! I don't know if I'll ever get it
