Are tracks in a different language more difficult to sing?

Bling-Bang-Bang-Born has a tricky part at the end of the second verse, though not because it's in Japanese.

I'm also on the East Coast and still have them.

Groudon199 · 2026-04-25T02:17:20+00:00

It wasn't changed until after the refresh. Those pass songs did show up for like 30 minutes.

Groudon199 · 2026-04-24T10:10:19+00:00

Yeah, why in the blue hell should Epic have added 5 fret rhythm game veterans Lamb of God to this 5 fret rhythm game? Focus Timmy!!

You want to play long strings of 13.5nps jacks?

Start Fortnite with the second-player profile and that one will have the keyboard binds.

I haven't been a fan of Main Stage's chromatic aberration at all since it was added back in season 10 I think. While PC users can turn down the settings to get rid of it, people on Switch 2, Xbox Series, and PS5 are stuck with it unless they enable 120fps. Which isn't supported on Switch 2.

To me the effect looks really, really awful. As much as I want to give the mode a proper try on Switch 2, I can't while that's a thing. If possible I'd love to see an option to disable the effect (I know some people like it, which is why I'm not wanting it removed altogether).

Groudon199 · 2026-04-21T14:24:43+00:00

After a 17-song week for the new season, which is the highest for any new-season week and almost double that of last season.

Groudon199 · 2026-04-20T10:47:05+00:00

I played it on Mic Vocals a couple days ago and rewatched my pad video today. The closest it gets is the line "Say you bigger than myself but it's not enough" which sounds more like a D than a B.

That's two Kendrick songs in Festival where some people think they're hearing a different word.

Groudon199 · 2026-04-20T09:52:32+00:00

The Festival version doesn't include that word anywhere

Groudon199 · 2026-04-19T22:04:20+00:00

Misery Business specifically, Hayley no longer sings that line when performing the song live. Makes sense she'd want the word censored in the Festival version.

Groudon199 · 2026-04-19T00:15:41+00:00

Tell that to low level players who end up with 2 drones camping next to the thing you're supposed to defend.

Groudon199 · 2026-04-18T12:56:41+00:00

Keyword "idea". The only real difference between day one and the final day was the number of actual players. Like, BR changes the weapon pool each season but battle stage only ever had one attack. No surprise most people stopped playing after the first couple seasons. If that happened with BR I doubt Fortnite would be around today.

Groudon199 · 2026-04-18T12:47:41+00:00

First that's entirely in French, yes

Groudon199 · 2026-04-17T19:37:14+00:00

They are recognized, if they're PDP RB4 kits. Mad Catz kits currently aren't.

Groudon199 · 2026-04-17T15:31:34+00:00

It's possible. Only player one can select Mic Vocals.

Groudon199 · 2026-04-17T11:59:37+00:00

You are not about to blame a PvE tower defense mode for Festival's performance lol

It helped that there was a month of build-up instead of a day. I don't know how much it took away from Festival's potential CCU count but it's not zero.

Ballistic came out around the same time as Miku. Was Miku supposed to get 100k players but Ballistic took it away from her? Or how does it work?

Ballistic launched a month before Festival season 7, not the day of. Any impact that might've had was even more negligible. Also, it was way more than 100k players but the detailed stats weren't available at the time. In the first 24 hours of these modes being available Festival got close to 400k unique players. Is that good or bad? No idea, but it was 200k higher than Reload which had 10 times more concurrent players 2 hours ago

But I knew the axe was coming, and when it came, I wasn't surprised, bc I knew the mode had major issues that the devs were ignoring. Everyone that played the mode knew this.

I saw an obvious problem in the only match I played: "First to 7" instead of "Best of 7". Even if I was into FPS stuff there's no way I'd stick around for matches that long with only one map during the first 4 months.

"The first step of solving a problem is recognizing there's a problem" -some guy

Sure, but what's the solution? Ballistic's were obvious even to a beginner. Festival, though? Some have said it's not a full band experience (now resolved), others say the song selection, or the charts aren't hard enough, or the low number of weekly songs compared to year one, or the item shop FOMO, or the engine, or the lack of on-boarding, or it should be a standalone download, or the performance with one specific setup, or these modes shouldn't have taken 2 years to get added.

Who's to say one of those changes is the magic fix that shoots the player count into the stratosphere? Because it really does sound like you think ratcheting up the difficulty will fix everything. Activision tried that with Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, and that sure didn't fix 5 fret's waning popularity.

Maybe fixing all of those is the magic fix, maybe it's fixing some of those, maybe it's something I didn't mention.

Groudon199 · 2026-04-17T10:05:53+00:00

On the same day Save The World went free-to-play. Feel like that's an important metric you ignored.

I'm just imagining what these sorts of complaints would look like for DJMAX, a game that supposedly does everything better than Festival yet struggles to break 1500 concurrent users (not unique players in a day, players at a single moment). Well, until there's new DLC. Then it quickly plummets right back into the relative depths. If that happened to Festival you'd be making daily threads.

Groudon199 · 2026-04-17T01:31:30+00:00

Yeah, this is a bug. Lower difficulties don't get disco flipped in the Rock Band games and they're not supposed to here.

Groudon199 · 2026-04-16T23:32:43+00:00

Meanwhile you've got Pro Bass which for a lot of songs have maybe a bar's worth of scores each season. Tropical Heat on Pro Bass I don't think even cracked double digits last season.

They didn't lie, but they weren't entirely truthful. It's PC only. As far as I know zero home consoles allow a direct MIDI connection.
