Rocking Out on the Interwebs

I finally figured out how to play Rockband online through the PS3, hahaha…  I would have liked to have seen an option to “Join Existing Group” rather than it randomly (or at least seemingly randomly) choose whether you get to be Leader or not.  Sometimes I want to pick the songs, but sometimes I want someone else to pick the songs.  Also, for the Score Duel mode, it’d be nice if you picked the difficulty level you wanted first, then it would search for other players also looking for that level.  Rather than pairing you up with someone, then the Leader choosing the level.  I got paired up with this one guy who decided to play all Expert drums.  I was lucky if I got half his score!  Haha.

I had tried out the Tug of War mode first, and didn’t stick around too long.  I was playing drums on Hard, but the person I was playing with was on Medium.  Now either I just suck at getting anything perfect (which I usually do), but it almost doesn’t seem fair that a Medium goes up against a Hard and wins the tug of war.  But I guess I should be equally as good at Hard as someone would be on Medium.  Oh well.

Score Duel I found probably the most because I could compare myself to others, especially those who are better than me.  Like snowboarding, I think I try harder when I’m surrounded by people who are retardedly good.  I’m forced to kick it up a notch.  But still, playing on Expert difficulty was insane for me.

I also tried playing just regular Quick Play with someone.  The first person that joined didn’t stick around very long as I was trying to wait another minute to see if anyone else would join for the remainder of the instruments.  So when that person left and another joined, I just started up the game.  Was an alright mode, but I guess it’d be more fun with people I actually knew, and maybe if there was a singer hahaha.

Anyway, I wish I had a 360, or that more people I knew had PS3s, so that I could play online with actual friends.
