Rocksmith discussion thread - New real guitar game.

I think the second song I did on Master was Plug in Baby, but I'd say that you could go for Angela next. It's pretty much one riff for the whole song, then a little solo that's not too hard to memorize.

Not sure if you read the arstechnica write up which is along the lines of **** tier of Joystiq or Kotaku but some guy absolutely destroyed Kuchera in the comments.

Wanted to share and will probably regret it later on today haha

Musician fight!!!

People always look for ways to bash something. Taking a piece from RB3 Pro, taking a piece of RS, practice with an amp, read online, etc. It's not rocket science.

Impressive!

I've only mastered one song so far (the combo arrangement of Go with the Flow) which I'm currently sitting on a 290ish note streak and 97%. What other dirt easy songs are on there? I've noticed When I'm With You by Best Coast is fairly simple too, as is Satisfaction and Next Girl.

But none are as easy as Go with the Flow to me...

Song 2 by Blur was the first one I mastered. While not as easy as Go With the Flow, it has an easy to memorize pattern

Rumor: Barracuda.

Mastered "Tighten Up" in about twenty minutes and played it in Master Mode after two runs of the song.

Ditto with the chord part, haven't tried the other version yet. I'm a bit pissed that Ubisoft hasn't even responded to the questions about the PS3 version being $5, I bought it figuring that it's a mistake for sure and I'd eventually get a refund, now I'm not so sure. Oh well, I would have bought it anyway, but sucks to get shafted as a PS3 owner (probably due to some Sony BS)

Satisfaction (both parts) was the first one I mastered, but never actually played it in master mode. Angela was the first one I played in master mode. Super easy song, I think I got 98% on my first try in master mode.

I haven't played in a couple days. I need to remedy that. Right now I'm working on learning the combo part to Number Thirteen, and I'm getting my ass kicked by the transition (full leveled). I technically 'mastered' Satisfaction's single note version, but I can't play it from memory and when I play it in the game I still play the second verse rather sloppily. Go With The Flow was the first song I completely mastered. This game has also re-affirmed that I just can't stand Muse.

I think I can justify the expense as a novice guitarist. You are paying for dynamic difficulty, an effects pedal, and multiple guitar tracks. Am I happy with the $3 price tag? I wouldn't say that, but at the same time I won't condemn it. If anything, it just means I'll be much more selective with purchases than in RB3.

Rock Band has "dynamic" difficulty too, in the form or different difficulty modes, and you aren't forced to play them before playing the full song

The unique pedal tone is very cool though. I believe I might be able to justify the price on songs I really want, like Jessica. I might get More Than a Feeling if the other guitar parts sound interesting (Boston has very layered guitar parts, so it's definitely in consideration)

If they bring out electric bass support, though, I might just buy every song. I don't really enjoy pro bass on Rock Band.

While I understand your frustration and the point you are trying to make, there's no point in misrepresenting things. Rock Band's difficulty settings are not dynamic. Dynamic implies that it changes on the fly, which it certainly does not. Rock Band's difficulty settings are static.

While Rocksmith can be annoying with having to level up, Rock Band's separate difficulty settings aren't flawless either (jumps in difficulty between levels can be huge sometimes.) There's no way to please everybody.

I was just thinking that Barracuda would be awesome the other day. Where did that rumor come from?
