JG's RB3 thread: Down to 100 Keys songs

**JohnnyGrey** · Posted: Wed May 11, 2022 8:44 pm Post subject:

Thanks guys, yeah, I could see it being the toughest chart. I guess having the recent experience of getting the other 2 charts and lots of practice with the RB3 engine helped it be one of the least painful grinds.

The part in 25 or 6 to 4 is still too iffy, especially since the rest of solo 2 ain't feeling too great either. I'll have to devote more time to it eventually.

But for now, still mostly DLC

5/11/22 - Been a while since the last post, figured I'd give a quick update. Definitely been busy the past month or so, combing through more and more of the "OG" DLC, which I now more than double what I had last update lol. I'm missing 269 songs right now, and still haven't played a good amount. I've been chasing the easiest ones first, which I think I still have a good 30 or so before I'll have to actually start worrying more often. Maybe once I get to 900 and can actually get every song to work (the worst part of this endeavor imo), I'll bother to play through every remaining song to get a score and get a more realistic idea of their FCability.

Edit
5/17/22 - Hit 900 FCs yesterday, so I started a specific goal of going for 1000 FCs from the Rock Band 1-2 DLC era. Based on my numbers, there are 1140 songs (since I already included Country Pack 2 in RB3, and don't feel like recounting them), so it'll be tight, but I might just be able to do it. I plan to make vids for every song on the way (Easy or not), so check my YouTube for progress.
I'll probably give an update here every week or so.

You have my respect for the completionism with regards to the DLC catalog. I'm looking forward to seeing more progress from you going forward.

Thanks! I've noticed you've been chipping away at a lot of the GH DLC lately, which is cool. If I ever get a RGH, I'd like to go through those as well.
But yeah, the DLC grind is a bit daunting at times but I've had a lot of fun with it.
Especially once I got all the songs to actually work
(well I'm still missing one, but hopefully I'll figure it out soon.)

Update for 925 FCs. I've only uploaded 921 because I'm trying to group a bunch of GH repeats together, but I have a few other songs in the bank. I've also made good progress in finally playing through and uploading a score for every song. Missing under 50 now, so I have a better idea of what's going to be doable and what songs will need a lot of work. Hint: Things get really annoying real quick.

Aren't you at 995 now? Or were the rest of the FCs after you made this update? lol

Anyway you've gotten some incredible FCs on your DLC journey, and I gotta give you props for that level of dedication. Now that I'm finally dipping my toes in RB DLC I have a newfound appreciation for what you've done. Sure, a good chunk of those is likely FCable in your sleep, but a surprising number of songs have provided some good challenge so far! Best comparison I can think of is like songs in the 40-55 range in GH3, or 70-78 range in GH5. I would've expected a lot less, basically lol.

And yeah now that I'm working on some of the same songs you are, it's getting pretty tough! You really don't have much easy stuff left :p Of course I gotta thank you again for even getting me into RB DLC in the first place. It's a ton of fun and basically feels like a whole new game to play. Plus it's more "official" than CH or customs, which is a bonus, lol

Hey, congrats again on 1500 RB DLC FCs. That's honestly insane. And the fact that you're starting the even more daunting RBN grind... well good luck to you haha.

Oh and of course, congrats on a new on-disc FC! I remember when Antibodies was in the impossible tier for you a year ago... you've come a long way

And of course now we're tied in FCs for the game, which is super impressive. Now might be the only chance you'll get to actually pass me in FCs in a game... gogo Rainbow!

Thanks Alex! I'm glad you've finally finished the DLC catalog and put my numbers to shame lol. As I've said multiple times, I can pull together some keys/RBN songs if you ever have the itch.

11/27/23 - Just updating the numbers and the OP to say that RBN guitar phase 1 is done, and I've moved on to Keys. I'll get around to knocking off the easiest guitar leftovers later, but for now I think I'll continue to go for quantity over quality. Again, I'll just be doing the 2x Bass versions for songs with both, unless there's any cases of different charts that I'm unaware of.

I'm thinking I could probably get less than 100 total Keys remaining, considering I've gotten a handful of top 100s already, without too much issue. Though I'd like to speak to the manager about the inclusion/exclusion of a few songs on that list, but I'll wait until I finish my initial playthrough and have a better idea of everything.
