Rocksmith discussion thread - New real guitar game.

[alexlifeson]

RB is $2 for the main song and $1 for the pro upgrade (2+1 = $3) so Im sure they got their example pricing from that and thought most wouldn't complain.

If we're only counting real instruments, don't forget pro keys for every single song, plus pro bass. If we're comparing it directly to Rock Band, the price point for a Rocksmith song is ridiculous.

I got mine today woohoo. I'll post my thoughts tomorrow. I turned around and hours flew by. What's up with drop D? It's a fret Off on the low D but open plays tuned properly. Squier issue? I even confirmed with my tuner that open D is fine.

I have seen a few people complain about this but I have yet to have the problem. I tune well below then up to D and it's been fine.

You must have missed it.

Both Freebird and Bodysnatchers are absoutely playable OFF LINE on my PS3.

I also looked for the associated Tones in the Tone Library and couldn't find them there either. I'm going to do an experiment; Assign the Tones and then shut off wireless and launch again.

For me the tuner was just a bit lax. The in-game tuner felt it was tuned, when I got in game I dropped it a bit because it didn't sound right, and then it was fine. Might want to try your own tuner.

Another thing to keep in mind is it's easier to bend the low-e string accidentally when it's in drop D, so if you have a tendency to pull down on the string slightly while you fret it you might be affecting the pitch (making it slightly higher than it should be).

Another thing, today was my first day trying to play big swing baseball in this game, and I couldn't figure out how to get my guy to swing the bat... I bent the correct string in all sorts of ways in different timings etc, and the batter would just sit there... Let me know if you guys know what I might be doing wrong on that. My sum total score as of 6 batters is 0.

My first day or so with big swing I didn't notice the fret command, that left me striking out for a while. Then I realized I don't have to bend them all. May be due to one of those 2 things

Yeah I confirmed with my own tuner that open D tunes correctly. It's when I fret that it's half like a half step. Is it software, cable, or Squier?

But yeah I got the game last night. I've played the demo, watched videos, and still it's crazy how awesome it is when you experience it at home with your home theatres. My wife even has considered learning. Naturally I have a laundry list of improvements that I'd love to see but what a great start. And they still haven't fixed Tighten Up's price on PSN.

I'm guessing it's partially technique exacerbated by the squier. I was having the same problem at first because I wasn't used to playing with the looser string in drop d, so it was bending because I wasn't being careful. That's with the medium strings on my SG. With the thin strings on the squier, it would be even easier to bend by accident.
