Rocksmith discussion thread - New real guitar game.

[Catch-22]

Yeah it's What's My Age Again.

• Rocksmith generated $40 million in North America, and Ubisoft is pleased. There will be more Rocksmith.

• Just Dance, Rocksmith, and Assassin’s Creed were able to compensate for less-than-stellar sales of Rayman: Origins, The Adventures of Tintin and “non-dance” Kinect games.

Just received my copy of Rocksmth yesterday. Popped it in last night, and could not put my guitar down. I think I may be addicted. I feel like im two-timing Rockband though, playing it with my squier.

It's a weird but awesome feeling. I was just surprised that a real guitar game worked and is doing pretty well for itself.

I love the dynamic difficulty post patch. I had played Take Me Home combo a while back and got under 5k. I go it over 70k in my 2nd try last night. Strangely I didn't get the animation for unlocking the tone.

What a great way to tease a release, making fans figure it out by picking up a guitar!

I personally feel that HMX does a much better job charting than Rocksmith does. RS charts often dumb down the chords and strum patterns, fade out before the song is over, or simply get some things wrong. It's hard to do an apples to apples comparison between RS and RB since RS has multiple arrangements tied to a single song, but still, if you look at the difference in charting between More than a Feeling on the two platforms I think that the RB charting wins there too.

I've made this argument before, but if Harmonix decided to display on-screen notations for various techniques like bending, vibrato, harmonics, etc. then their transcriptions would be more accurate than Rocksmith's, even if they couldn't score those techniques through the Mustang or Squier. Aside from that, Rock Band's transcriptions are more accurate when comparing among the techniques that are supported in the game.
