GameInformer: "As we inch closer to the release of Rock Band 3 it’s becoming increasingly clear that this game features hundreds of hours of content. This month, we used some extended hands-on time with Harmonix’s latest creation to dive into several new features that fundamentally change the genre, including a brand new tutorial experience and extensive time with the new keyboard peripheral."
Dave writes: "Hopefully time will be kind to Rock Band 3. It’s the equivalent of a Blade Runner or Van Gogh, unappreciated and undersold in its own time, but something that has undeniable quality. We may never see another Rock Band, no encore to this great series, but in Rock Band 3 and Rock Band 4, we got some pretty awesome final tracks."
This week Omari (@OmariAkil) from @bgbrothas makers of #RapGodz joins Mike (@AssaultSuit) and Aaron (@Ind1fference) to talk about: Rap Godz and the Sonic the Hedgehog movie in addition to a plethora of board games and video games.
Joe Y writes: With server closures, glitches, and broken patches, many games have unobtainable achievements and trophies. Here are the top 10 you can't 100% anymore.
"It sounds simple enough, but due to the expiration of licenses, one of the four songs, Promised Land by Vesuvius, is no longer available to download. If you previously had it downloaded, it will *not* be taken away, so you'll still be able to grab this one."
Well damn it. I really dig that song from The Rocker and I did not know it was in RB3. I stopped playing after RB2.
Online achievement/trophies are dumb. I’m not sure why they still include them. I recall the modern warfare games were applauded for not including them.
Unless the game is an online only game because what choice is there at that point.
Uhm trophies are fantastic, they give you real reason to keep playing a game after you beat it
If you need trophies to keep playing a game after you beat it, then is the game worth playing any further? It's imaginary points, not better gaming. Good games will be replayed regardless of imaginary points.
@Christopher
That logic makes zero sense. It's most definitely 'worth playing further' as you go and do things you clearly didn't do the first time....hence why do didn't get the TROPHY. It's not about better/worse gaming, it's about a replay of a game feeling fresh and not redundant.
***It's most definitely 'worth playing further' as you go and do things you clearly didn't do the first time....hence why do didn't get the TROPHY.***
If you need a trophy to do something and not the fact that you enjoy it, is the game actually worth playing? Seriously, how is that a foreign concept? How is that nonsensical? I guess it's nonsense to someone who plays for trophies, but that's about all you're playing for when you promote the reason for doing more to just get trophies and not because you enjoy it.

In fairness sony did have that gold trophy auction for all those commercial props.
Would have loved to have enough trophies for that.
Pretty ignorant statement to have... there are lots of fun achievements/trophies to be had playing online... I've never played through the single-player campaign in any COD... but had lots of fun playing online... Companies have to be sure to cater to all gamers when it comes to achievements/trophies... a good mix is never a bad thing...
...except if you want to play a game online a couple of years later and not being able to, hence from getting all the trophies.
I’m not obsessed with getting every achievement/trophy but if I like the game I may try to. I’m simply being punished for not discovering the game earlier.
Most games... minus complete failures last much...much longer online than I believe you are giving credit for...
Half of these are false .. The Evolve one can still unlocked... Ghostbusters is only unachievable on PS3 its still online on 360.. Destiny 2 one is only unobtainable for a while as said by bungie... GTAV one can still be unlocked too in a private game. And the Black Ops 3 one can still be unlocked using a few different methods. Guy who wrote this is clueless.
When a games server goes offline then they should allow users to create their own p2p servers to keep these games active. They should also unlock or delete the trophies from any list to those who havent got them.
I can think of a few honorable mentions. there is one for smartglass seeing as smartglass is now defunct. there is also ones for 1v100 and dorito crash course 2 since both of those games are also defunct.
♥ Every year a new music game comes out!
Seriously Im starting to think madden is a better deal than this. Guys just keep Rockband 2! Rockband 3 Is not worth it ♥
Can't wait hope they have a kick ass setlist again.
I think I may pass on Warriors of Rock, Activision took Brutal Legend and slapped the Guitar Hero gameplay on it. I get Guitar Hero was always meant to be more outlandish, the dueling with the devil in GH3 and Frankenstein as a character in GH5. Guitar Hero 5 was great, but Rock Band 3 is worth the keyboard and real guitar anyway. I play the real guitar but I'm not very good. I want to get good but I don't have the patience, but this game is just the way to sort of trick myself into learning to actually play guitar, but even then, it's just a video game not a guitar teacher, so how good could I get really? Plus the keyboard is awesome, and the setlist is awesome so far. Queen, Ozzy, Hendrix, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, STP, Dio, Night Ranger, David Bowie, Marilyn Manson, and the icing on the cake, The Doors. Next up, Led Zeppelin.....please? The day I could play the 29 minute live version of Dazed and Confused would be an epic day indeed, but I'd settle for Whole Lotta Love or even The Lemon Song.
What we looking at here?
I am so pumped for this but at the same time this will more than likely be my last. I really don't see them being able to do anything else with these band genre games.
