How developers can rock out to my respect

I knew something like this was going to be brought up.

The Prodigy have a drummer and a guitarist at the very least playing with em when they play live.

I wouldn't have sugeested it otherwise.

Liam produces all the music himself, sometimes but very rarely he does have a co producer. They have had a live guitarist playing on tracks since there second album Music for the Jilted Generation.

It hardly matters what they have live you spanner.

Bob your narrow mindedness is proving you wrong. Again. And I really can't be arsed getting in a pointless arguement over it.

"A rhythm-action music game lives or dies by its soundtrack". This is something than in one form or another usually gets stated in a review of the latest Rock Band or Guitar/Band/DJ hero game, and obviously to an extent it's completely true. For example, I own Rock Band 2 and the soundtrack on that game was a big contributing factor when I was deciding between it and Guitar Hero 5, which in my opinion has one of the worst soundtracks in any music game ever.

This got me thinking about what - in an ideal world - I'd like to see from a music game, especially now since both Rock Band and Guitar Hero have huge DLC libraries on hand. Here's my idea: you buy a Rock Band game devoid of any music - but still obviously containing all the graphical assests and whatnot - for the same amount as a normal full-priced game (£40, for arguments sake), and in the box you're given a code which entitles you to go onto the Rock Band store and download £40 worth of DLC of your choice for free, which allows you to completely tailor the game to your musical tastes, and any DLC you want after you've reached the £40 mark you then have to pay for. This way, I'd be guaranteed to like every song in the game and if a developer were to do this I for one would respect them a lot more than if they had tried to cater for everyones tastes - something GH5 tried at and failed abysmally - and I'd be far more inclined to spend extra money on more tracks.

I agree with you.
