Good man, until they sort their shít out, I'll not be recommending that game to anyone.

No, I'm bringing it back next week, I've just found the box (which I need to bring it back for some reason.) It's a balls, aint it? I haven't played it since...

I can't find my receipt so I'll have to see if Xtravision will write me out a manual one and I'l return it to Activison. Bastards. I've only noticed it recently because it's all I've been playing the last 3 days.
Flying through the tracks on hard (trying to 5 star them all),but there is no hope of that because it's constantly doing it!

I must take this out again and finish it. I only have a few sets left to do. I boxed it back up a while ago because it was on the floor in the way, and I just sort of forgot about it then.

Hmm, my controller seems to be acting up now aswell

Was mid-song and it just stopped registering button presses. I was pressing them but nothing was happening

nicklauski · 31-01-2010 01:14PM

Mine is gone back to Activision. Fúckers. Seems to be a fairly widespread problem.

Did the turntable get disconnected from the controller slightly? This happened to me and I noticed they'd come apart slightly.

Overall I'm not that impressed with this game. I can't get into. I play 3 songs and turn it off. Really not holding my attention.

The deck is absolute ass. Mid scratch it drops out all the time now.

Edit - I see what's happening now and it seems to be same problem most people are experiencing. When I scratch the pad is reading button presses when there are none. If I spin the platter mid song it (did it as a test) it registers hits on all three buttons simultaneously. Load of crap.

Atavan-Halen · 31-01-2010 07:37PM

I dunno, I'll give it a go again tonight and see what happens.

That's right. It's worse than the Rock Band 1 pedal issues to be honest. At least you could fix that with a bit of freakin' tape!

As pee'd off as I was about the deck acting up, I have to say fair play to Activision.
Sent the deck off Friday, collected from work by TNT, and then yesterday there was a brand new deck delivered to me.
No fcuking batteries though :P

Saw an ad on TV today that this is going for 59.99 in HMV now im tempted

Did folks with issues with the controller get it sorted?

D4RK ONION · 19-03-2010 01:37AM

No, totally never got around to sending the bastarding thing off. Really must do that, was a good game otherwise

Atavan-Halen · 19-03-2010 01:40AM

Yep, my decks worked again after re-connecting the turntable to the controller part

calex71 · 19-03-2010 11:21PM

When did HMV start allowing trade in's? Got rid of some games and got this for €5

It's been a long long........... long time since I 1xStared a song in a rhythm game on easy :eek: I got bloody schooled :mad:

Ha ha ha..... Hands up who didn't know the euphoria button lit up when ready? Only noticed because my brother was playing, no wya I'd have noticed if playing on my own.

D4RK ONION · 19-03-2010 11:38PM

Yeah, this game is seriously intense, I play on expert, but I don't play WELL on expert!

Atavan-Halen · 19-03-2010 11:39PM

I can only barely manage hard so more practice for me!

There is just so much more to watch for in it, compared to playing drums or guitar, I guess it's more 3D than RB or GH, I salute anyone who got the achievement for 5* all songs on expert.

nicklauski · 22-03-2010 02:17PM

Did anyone download the Jay-Z/Eminem track pack? Curious to know if its any use before I get it.

Atavan-Halen · 22-03-2010 02:27PM

Did that track pack come with the renegade edition of the game also?

nicklauski · 22-03-2010 02:30PM

Couldn't tell mate.

No idea.

calex71 · 24-03-2010 12:42AM

Have this 4 days and I'm bored of it already

Off to adverts.ie I go

D4RK ONION · 24-03-2010 01:05AM

Really? What don't you like about it?

You can't fail is the biggest bad, second there is no incentive to play after you get 5* you can literally take sip from your beer and not worry about notes passing you by . Music is good but I'm just playing for cheevo's at this stage. Directional scratching is very good but fade spikes? they ruin expert mode as far as i am concerned, Just no incentive over all to progress to expert and get better for me. Fact drilled home by being only able to get multiplayer matches on medium
