Love the concept, but $99 is pretty steep. It better have some serious replay value for that cost.

How do I special summon Remi to put Nicki in the graveyard, to free up any counters to my ultimate card: Carly Rae?
That was my first thought. Not very good rock representation with an overused Disturb song, a Poison ballad, and some pop rock. Same reason I'm rarely interested in the Rock Band DLC anymore.
No, it says DROPMDC.
it's like toys... that come TO LIFE!

I activate Pot of Creed! It allows me to draw 2 chords!

I'm in. I dig boardgames with weird/interesting concepts. And $99 retail for a board game isn't that steep these days. Wherein some you're paying for the amount of cardboard in the box, here you're mostly paying for the digital aspects despite the app being free.

I'm sorry but this looks fucking terrible. I'm so sorry Harmonix.

I'm interested. Not $100 plus more for additional card packs interested, though. But it does seem like a really cool idea.

Harmonix clinging onto life with this.
I hope it ends up being successful for them.

I get why people are worried, but, it's goddamn Hasbro. If there's one thing they're very good at, it's making toys and games and selling a lot of those toys and games.
signing with Hasbro, one of the biggest non-video-game publishers out there, is clinging to life?
edit: amusingly, Harmonix has now directly worked with 2 of the top 3 toy makers, the first partnership being Lego with Lego Rock Band. heh.

Clinging onto life isn't a negative here. They had a couple of failure and managed to get themselves back on their feet with this deal. Ain't nothing wrong with it.

A string of less than successful products and the doubling down on the hardware/gaming +CCG. It's not going to work this time. Rock Band 4 is in trouble, almost sunk Madcatz and did not hit it's targets with PDP causing staff layoffs.
PDP is going through trouble too?
Fuck.
I wonder why this game is having trouble...oh right.

I don't understand how that's a game? Seems like cool tech though.

I'm honestly not sure how they've survived this long already, to be perfectly honest.
There's supposed to be FX cards and I guess more to it that determines when you can place cards. They're supposed to be showing a live streamed play session soon.

Gameplay demo on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxOtkClPa0o
(starts at about 4 minutes)
Shows off the technology and a playthrough of the game. Looks really cool. Still not sure about the price, though.

Yeah I am going to buy this, splitting between 4 people so it wont be that bad on my wallet
so this seems like something interesting to play with from a tech standpoint.
but $100 base for it is a bit much.
this isn't a game I would want on my tablet (pain to hook up to my sound system), would much rather have it on a console or pc but it seems to be mobile only.
the gameplay doesn't look very interesting, and I haven't a clue how you are going to easily keep track of the decks if you are able to buy new cards and what not. you would have to be careful to play things a certain way to make sure you get them back.
I am also not a huge fan of most of the soundtrack, but to be fair since pop songs tend to be so samey it's a very obvious choice for a game like this to keep things sounding decent.

This is pretty cool, I'd kill for a full digital version with online play 
For now I'll see if I have buds that want to chip in

Each card has a symbol on the bottom right I believe (I think it's the bottom right) so it should be easy to keep track of which card belongs to which deck really.

how is that a good thing when the image on Short Skirt and Long Jacket the woman doesn't have a jacket or skirt on?

I would love to win this and all of the cards for free....or somehow borrow/demo it for a weekend.
I will not be spending $99+ on this.
EDIT: I miiiight spend $49 on this just to mess around with the music.

Here's the list of songs in the starter kit available at launch(?). They're planning to have 300 songs at launch.
Starts at 2:15 now that they trimmed the empty space at the beginning.
This looks amazing. Did you guys not see the Down With The Sickness wildcard in action?! If you're not impressed just watching the demonstration from 2;15 to 5:30, I don't know what to tell you. Granted $99 is a steep price but this would be amazing fun at a party and I don't even give a **** about the music selection.

so harmonix announced some new songs today along with a new mode and finally a release date of 9/24.
http://www.harmonixmusic.com/blog/freestyle-gives-you-full-control-over-the-mix/
Here is the most current updated list of official cards with power levels and song parts.
https://www.reddit.com/r/dropmix/comments/6wv0b4/card_list_as_of_aug_28th_sorted_by_decksymbol/
I've been following this game since march and really got hooked watched the harmonix weekly streams with josh and Jonathan. The price of entry is quite high, but the game as a whole looks like a lot of fun and I have hooked several friends just by having them watch a recorded twitch stream.
Hope this game catches on as I would love to see more modes.
Here is also a Spotify playlist of announced songs I made if you want to get a quick idea of what music you will be mixing.

This thread is really old and full of clueless people and bad jokes. This probably deserves a new thread. Impressions and non-Harmonix videos are starting to come out, and the release date was announced today, so this might be a good time. Hell, I might even make the new thread I'm not able to create a new thread since I'm a junior member.
EDIT:
I'd appreciate if someone made a new thread and maybe included this stuff:

Nickelback cards are OP, please nerf.
Seriously, shame the Kinnect is a dead thing now, you could have tried to do some kind of "Eye of Judgement" thing here were you could use the cards with the camera. Could have been a neat twist to the game.
The game sounds cool though. I would play it again 10/10 steam review.

I wanted one of those so badly in school, I'm so glad I didn't get one because listening to the same song over and over... It will drive me insane.

Why the hell didn't Amplitude 2016 warrant any of this licensing support?
