Rocksmith discussion thread - New real guitar game.

[SeattleSauve]

rockband got rush's 2112?! Man, I sure hope Rocksmith gets some Rush tunes soon....

Was 2112 actually fun to play on pro guitar? I've heard it wasn't really that fun so I didn't even download it. Still need to spend some time playing those sweet sweet Jimi tracks

I'm hoping Rocksmith gets a faster DLC timeline... 3 songs every 2 weeks is pretty brutal especially when they release songs from an artist that already has a bunch of songs on and off disc like last week's...

I'm actually very much looking forward to the patch they've got in the works because I'm really starting to get frustrated with the leveller... They've mentioned they will fix the 5 lives problem, and do a few things to make levelling less frustrating, but not sure what those things are...

Any rumours about the first DLC of the year?

Some fuel for the rumour mill

That was a stack of CDs in the Developer area at Ubisoft San Francisco I took a photo of.

Also from the facebook post that got deleted “School of Rock” and Pixies “Here Comes Your Man” might be on the way eventually.

Do you see anything in that stack you're excited about? Outside of artists already on disc (clapton, nirvana, stp, stones, taddy etc...) I'm not seeing much that's really exciting.

You should have put Led Zep or a Beatles disc in the pack ahead of taking the photo just for the heck of it

Billy Talent would be exciting because they have never had music in a rhythm game

The more I play Rocksmith, the more I like Rock Band.

Sounds like your intonation is off.

Also with the 9's on the Squier it s VERY easy to over fret and change the pitch.

It seems like I was strumming too hard, perhaps that was causing a buzz or otherwise messing up the tone. Once I switched to an easy picking style, I played Ducks twice more and both times racked up streaks of 50+ in a row. Awesome. It still made errors every once in a while, but very rarely, more rare than me just being on the wrong fret, legitimately.

It's a pretty fun game. There's no way it replaces Rock Band for me anytime soon, but I'm glad to find that I'm not required to buy a whole new guitar just to play it at all.

Guess A7X likes having their music on music games. 10 songs on RB, 5 on GH and wouldn't be surprised seeing at least 1 song in GH7 disc/dlc. Now hints of Nightmare content on Rocksmith.

The thing which makes me think this isn't a particular hint for DLC in RS is the Bruno Mars album (does that even have any guitar?).

[toymachineSH]

Ask Harmonix that lol

Spoiler: It does

The more I play Rocksmith, the more I like Rock Band.

I tried showing my friend's Pro Mode with the Mustang and they just asked me to put Rocksmith back on

Looks like no DLC today

First off, I love RB3 but only for the Drums. I never have liked the guitar so much because you are not playing a guitar. The drums are so much fun and am constantly downloading songs to my library.

Before bashing Rocksmith, you need to play the game. If you can already play the guitar then this game is a must have. If you are wanting to learn how to play the guitar then this game is a must have. Be warned amateurs, this will be frustrating at first. I bought a guitar a few years ago wanting to learn and basically teach myself. That did not work because the few cords I could play was the only cords I ever played. Never taught myself.

So far, I have only played Rocksmith twice both being 2hour sessions. I can see myself already progressing by playing a few songs recommended by Rocksmith and the Guitarcade mini games. I have only played Ducks which is playing single notes and the Chord Zombie game which teaches you how to play chords. Both are great tools to enforce muscle memory while playing a game and not listening to a boring teacher making you play notes over and over.

Definitely recommend the game and give it a try. By the way, I bought the game and an Assassin Guitar on Amazon for $134 bucks. This is an entry level guitar but works well with the game.
