I have about 30 dwarves now, and a 'working' farm - but still can't seem to keep my food production anywhere close to food consumption. all my dwarves are pretty much perpetually hunting vermin for food, and I don't really have enough seeds to make a huge crop. I have like a 20x20 farm but only about 10 squares max have ever been planted... and I don't know where my seeds are going. maybe my starving dwarves are just eating them? I know I have the cooking of seeds turned off so that can't be it I don't think...

with my luck, the goblins will start invading or something any day now.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
if only the $170 included the price of the xbox, which I'll inevitably have to buy to play the game -_-

douchebagatron

so does anyone know anything about the ps2 version of the game? will it support the same downloadable stuff for ps2s with a hard drive? or online features at all? or anything like that at all?

Zig

But they'd better include some songs they like, have epically F*D up by not including yet:

Eagles - Hotel California
Metallica - Fade to Black/One/Master of Puppets
Ledzep - Stairway to Heaven
Clapton - Layla/While My Guitar Gently Weeps/Cocaine
Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower/Purple Haze
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

There are some others out there but I mean, including some BS instead of trying to fit in all the epic and unforgettable guitar solos of our times is really not a great way to go when making a game like this.

Some personal wants:
Sublime - Santeria
Megadeth - Disintegrators :3

<b>edit:</b> One has been announced as downloadable content... and Weezer - Say It Ain't So is on the game list <3 That's gonna be in heavy rotation over here..

/me goes to see if there's a price for us UK gamers.
(I still need to buy Guitar Hero 2 though.)

semipsychotic

Bohemian Rhapsody would be murder on your poor singer.

lolfighter

Well, more than one band dreams of murdering their lead singer I'm sure...

Thaldarin

I'm disappointed. Just bought a Wii and they're not releasing it for it <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

Liku

Awesome, good price. Now I need to figure out which of my friends is going to buy the damn game.

Testament

Heh, Zig. I thought I was the only person who thought The Disintegrators is one of Megadeth's best tracks.

PerfectionsFlaw

Man... I already have two Guitar Hero II guitars... all I need is drums, a mic and the game. Do they sell this stuff seperate?

Liku

I'd hope so.

The riffs, the vocals, the lyrics, the solos, the drums... ridiculous.

The fking main riff is harder than like, every other thrash metal solo ever created.

GH II Guitars are a no go I think, as the RB guitars have more buttons (for solos or something)

douchebagatron

from everything i hear, those extra 5 buttons preform the same function as the current 5 buttons. just there for style points.

Monkfish

The extra 5 buttons are for the guitar solos, except you don't have to strum during the solo.

pardzh

Until I can stretch St. Stephen/Truckin'/China Cat Sunflower out into a 15 minute jam, I am not interested.

Ya got that right.

Do you really not have to strum with those other buttons? Solos will just be a tapfest?

Testament

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Ya got that right.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Megadeth is much preferable to Metallica.

Liku

Maybe new Metallica, but nothing pre-...And Justice For All.

I'm a metalhead and don't like Kill 'em All or Master of Puppets. I have an ...And Justice poster in my room though..

This thing will be so awesoe, can't wait to never finish it on hard mode.

Remind me never to take you seriously again lol <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nerd-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::nerdy::" border="0" alt="nerd-fix.gif" />

Shockeh

Let me see....

$170 equates to £83 or thereabouts.... so.. knowing the usual way the UK gets treated with releases, the UK can expect it to magically be £100, which considering the US Dollar at the moment, means Cash+++ from UK sales.

I'm only this cynical due to past experience, of course.

After all, the PS3 is only best part of 25% less (depending on which way you exchange, and where you buy from) for you US people, that's not much or anything <i>at all</i>.
