Got the Rock Band bug this year and picked up a cheapo xbox and a not so cheapo xbox guitar to finally try the "new" Rock Band 4. And it's fine... the gameplay is still as good as usual but everything else feels like a massive step back from RB3 and even RB2. Song list is bizarre, customization took a huge hit, and no more keyboard is a huge bummer that kind of ruins a ton of Rock Band 3 dlc songs. Happy to see that DLC has been pretty active since though even though the vast majority of releases this year seem like tiktok pop punk songs. Not a bad game if you want to play rock band on a current platform but RB3 with the mods and custom songs is a way better choice.
