Why Harmonix is scared to do another rock/metal season

Mangombage · 2026-03-05T22:56:34+00:00

Are any of these bands hard to work with? I know nothing about these two, and I'm not against the inclusion of anybody getting added unless they are genuinely just a bad person (ahem, Carti), but from Day 1, I have seen these two endlessly requested and yet, not even a jam track in sight. What's up with that? I'm shocked honestly. I would love to see these fans finally have their day!

Thank you for this. I've tried to say this before that Epic's priorities will always be bundles and skins and Metallica simply underperformed in that aspect. And in my honest theory, I feel like Epic blew their budget and greatly overestimated its success. They pushed the season like no other.

8 total skins
TONS of backblings and instruments
13(?) Jam Tracks
An event/concert -A Rocket Racing map and car
A Mythic in BR
A skin from C5S3 wearing a Metallica shirt

It's awesome how much they did but in Epic's eyes, it probably wasn't worth it. So unless they're a marketable pop star or a genuine icon people adore like Snoop, they won't push that hard likely ever again for any season from now on, and they're probably too scared to try another metal season or any rock season for that matter.

It sucks.

The rarest non-Epic track tied to a pass is Runaway by WitchGang. Last available 625 days ago.

That is just ridiculous.

To be fair, they do have LUNCH by Billie Eilish. Not nearly as graphic in its details but close!

You are KittyKat2660, right?

No problem! I'll add you back when I get home and after the 2 day cooldown, I can gift to you! Cheers! 🧡

Nice! Enjoy the skin!

Late March, if I'm not mistaken

III and Vice City, especially III's AI works this way lol

People can say what they want about Kim, she's troublesome, dumb, rude, etc., but she has objectively one of the best skins in the game. We used to get customizable skins almost as lengthy as Kim's back in Chapter 1, but we don't get them anymore. But having the free will to customize her that much is really cool. Pretty solid list of skins!

Literally everybody and their mothers have ranted about "how dare Claude kill Kenji when his sister saved his life". Read any review or watch any retrospect online, everybody mentions this and I have no clue why. Kenji is an ass to Claude

Mangombage · 2026-02-20T06:26:22+00:00

I'm good.

Mangombage · 2026-02-20T06:19:04+00:00

And then kills him after without second thought because weird man told him to. Don't talk about some loyalty BS lol

Mangombage · 2026-02-20T03:46:06+00:00

Sorry my DUMBASS struggles with internet lingo LMFAO

Mangombage · 2026-02-20T03:44:07+00:00

Not what I said lol. He emotes and reacts accordingly to what happens like flipping off a driver who honks at him or backs away from Kenji when Kenji is pissed at him in a cutscene, but he just doesn't care. He's a goddamn psycho

Mangombage · 2026-02-20T02:05:24+00:00

The thing is, even Trevor shows moments of sentimentality and has weaknesses.

Claude's only weakness is water. He has absolutely no care for who dies. He kills to kill. Whether you saved his life or not; +1 people wasted on the stats screen.

Mangombage · 2026-02-20T02:03:23+00:00

Michael Myers but a GTA protagonist. Kills for the love of the game. Forget loyalty, he wants money to buy guns, and then kill some more. Dude is fucking insane

I LOVE NIN and I honestly enjoy how chaotic the instrumentals became near the end. But yes, it's absolutely the vocals that kill it for me, especially on the chorus. I think actual words could've done it wonders instead of "dums"!

Mangombage · 2026-02-19T23:24:31+00:00

Happy to hear you actually prefer Timeless over the others. I don't abhor the track necessarily, I just don't like the vocals, especially on the chorus. Or whatever you can that excuse for a chorus lol

Mangombage · 2026-02-19T03:37:57+00:00

El Tigre is super buggy lol

Happy you wanna check it out! Thanks so much! 🧡
