Lego Rock Band.....a bit much?

[GyroCaptain]

Silly and unnecessary: yes. Awesome, more so.

Sounds crazy... I want it!

 

[KingPiccolOwned]

It is pointless. In my opinion, they should have stopped after the first game, and then keep selling albums and songs from all of the sequels as DLC.

That doesn't even make sense. They didn't have DLC until the current generation, or at least almost no one used it.

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

Why are they Lego-fying everything now? This is unnecessary.

 

[Robert632]

this is a stupid cash-in. much like ff dissida.

 

[Ophiuchus]

I think it's meant to be a bit of light-hearted fun. It will always mystify me how people manage to get so heated over this sort of thing (not specifically anyone in this topic, but people elsewhere have been seriously raging over this and Band Hero).

That said, there's only one song on the setlist so far that makes me stop and think "I must play that song"... I really can't justify buying a game for one song.

 

[X Gintoki X]

still say its just as pointless as DJ Hero in my opinion

 

[Daggermonkie]

It's rock band...but legos? seems a little wierd since lego is concidered cute, rock is....not

 

[Slayer_2]

Rock band and it's look-alikes are stupid enough. Mindless button-mashing at it's finest. But adding the obvious "money-grab" Lego theme to it as well? Goddammit, when will the insanity end?!?

 

[Digitaldreamer7]

I rather enjoyed the lego Star Wars and Indy games and someday I'm going to pick up the lego batman game.

However, when I saw the trailer for Lego Rock Band, even I have to roll my eyes a little. I have nothing againest rock band or the lego games, but for some reason, crossing the two just seems a little silly.

Does anyone else get a similar reaction? If not, at what point would you think that?

Yea very excessive, you probably havent seen the trailor for "band hero" yet have you

I think the point your missing is that some consoles have very limited HD space... People arn't going to go shell out 150$ for a new hd just for dlc. It's much easier to get people to shell out 60$ every 4 months or so cause they dont realize they could have just bought a new HD and alot of DLC for the same money. Its marketing ork at its finest.

We the old school or long time gamers see this and say "F(*#& You" and get all the DLC we can handle but the people they are marketing that crap to arn't old school or long time gamers. it's the kiddos and mom and dat fo the kiddos that they are trying to appeal to.

Yup its like the dealer and the drug addict. You and I are hooked and we only buy the good stuff, the companies are not interested in us too much, they throw us a bone here and there. THey want to hook the newbies, thats where the money is at

Lego's are boss.
Rock Band is Boss.
It fits.

 

[DrunkWithPower]

They could have done worse, Lego Little Big Planet, Lego Katamari Damacy, the list goes on.

 

[MorteSphere]

This breaks the barrier of "Cash Cow".

You've lost me.

 

[azurawolf]

I love Rock Band so I will more then likely play this game. The idea sounds funny to me.

 

[Dalisclock]

I think Lego Little Big Planet would probably break the universe.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

I think its a bit much. Batman, Star Wars and even Indy I can get, but Rock Band?

 

[Generator]

It is silly, but I refuse to care because of

Sounds like they fired their creative department.
