Harmonix Gives Rock Band Blitz A Stimulus Package
Harmonix took some heat over Rock Band Blitz's in-game economy, and the company has responded with a few tweaks. It's now easier to earn coins, which is great news for people looking to claw their way up the leaderboards.
Powerups cost in-game money, which is added to your bank with each star rating you earn in a song. Some players complained that the game's economy was confusing, and that it was difficult to accumulate those valuable coins. Harmonix has adjusted the pricing structure to be more consistent, and Score War rewards have been doubled.
There goes one of your excuses for doing so poorly in the game.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
