 It is time for a new rocksmith OP and thread since the old one is way outdated. Official site link: http://rocksmith.ubi.com/rocksmith/en-US/home/index.aspx When is it out?: Out NOW for PC/Mac/PS3 and Xbox 360 Demonstration video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDQ_U3lukAQ What is Rocksmith, is this another plastic guitar game?: Rocksmith is more a guitar training tool with game elements where you plug in your real 6 string electric/electric acoustic or bass guitar and play the tabs for the songs. You are learning to play the actual song, not some game interpretation of it. I never picked up a guitar in my life, can I learn to play with this game? Yes you can. What kind of guitar do I need? Get a 6 string electric guitar. Electro acoustic guitars will also work but electric is recommended. Do NOT get a floyd rose guitar as your first/only guitar. If you don't know what that is/is unsure make sure the guitar you buy don't have a tremolo bar. Floyd rose and other variants make changing tuning hell. You want to be able to quickly change tunings when playing this game based on the song you are playing. Is this game better compared to the old game?: YES. It is improved in every possible way from note detection to having more guitar tunings to way faster and better UI. Everyone who played it here loves it. What is the track list?: http://rocksmith.ubi.com/rocksmith/en-US/music/index.aspx For a $10 fee you can also import your RS1 tracks to RS 2014. All DLC you bought for RS1 is forward compatible with RS 2014. In short the game is amazing, and everyone who has any interest in playing Guitar and/or Bass should buy it. Edit: Customs are out for RS2014. Check out the Smithy Anvil forums to download custom songs. Edit 2:  Explanation of all the note/chord/style types you encounter in the game.

Same deal though - you're just comparing the intonation of the whole string (open or vibrating on a harmonic), to the intonation of a part of the string (fretting a note to make the vibrating part shorter) keyframe fucked around with this message at 17:46 on Jan 20, 2014 |

Bedurndurn posted:I showed my buddy the game and he definitely wants to grab it. What's the best way to acquire all the stuff for PC? I heard people were picking up the cable by buying a console copy of the game for like $10. Is that still available anywhere? I bought mine new from ebgames which was the only local place that carried the PC version. It is totally viable to buy the cable dirt cheap from someone selling on craigslist and buy the game separately on steam or uplay.

How do you guys like the Radiohead pack? Thinking about getting the pack but I can't imagine Karma Police be any fun to play on guitar.

pvax posted:Was thinking the same thing. The bassline hasa nice groove, even if it's pretty simple. But the Guitar ...it's just strumming the chords beneath the piano .. right? Yea pretty much. I do not regret buying the pack though. Hope next week is country music pack or something so I can go a week without buying a rocksmith song pack.

Whoever said they nailed the Radiohead song tones were absolutely right, all of the Radiohead guitar tones sound absolutely amazing. On the flip side EVERY song I imported from RS1 sounds like utter rear end. Some of the songs that sound ok on RS1 sound completely different in 2014. I really regret spending money on RS1 and the import tool right now.

toymach1ne posted:It's weird because Steam users keep saying this but they sound great on Xbox/PS3 IMO Yea I am on PC. There is a huge noticeable decrease in quality. Most songs the guitar tone doesn't sound anything whatsoever like the songs tone. And I am playing this game with an ESP eclipse so it is definitely not the guitar that is at fault here.

Man I wonder if one of the recent patches changed anything because I swear the RS1 imported songs now sound better in RS2014 than they did before.awesmoe posted:Customs are coming pretty soon. They're doing what's basically a closed beta at the moment, and there's a list of a dozen or so issues they need to resolve before the first public release of the song creator. It'll be out before Christmas I'd say. So does this mean I will be able to play all the Metallica/GNR songs in RS2014?

Kaboobi posted:The PC has Steam sales for cheaper DLC and upcoming custom support. Other than that they play pretty much the same? Pretty sure PC load times are way better as well especially if you have a SSD. I also find the UI much faster to navigate with kb/mouse than with a controller.

MrData posted:Put your first finger on the 2nd string, ringfinger on the 4th and mute the 3rd string with your middle finger. Touch the string but don't press down on it. Then just strum like you normally would. This is a terrible method when you can just easily mute with your first finger.

Abu Dave posted:If anyones looking for a real fun custom to play that isn't retard metal music, A Tear For Eddie is actually really fun and just stays within one scale so you can feel like a guitar god with relative ease. So wait are the customs working fine now? Nothing will go wrong if I start using those right?

Wow holy poo poo the Hysteria chart is flat out terrible and goes out of its way to make the song as difficult to play as possible. Supermassive black hole has some weird thing going on too where your guitar is extremely silent.

Fina posted:Which chart? Guitar or Bass? The bass chart is the first time I've seen anyone get something that sounds right, every custom I've ever tried of the song does a good job with the main riff and then falls apart for the chorus. Guitar. The solo and intro are ridiculous. Fire Safety Doug posted:keyframe, are you planning to update/expand the OP anytime soon? People usually pop in and ask questions here and get more up to date info that way. I don't have the time to make a NeoGaf style OP but if you feel something is missing post it and I will copy it to the OP. keyframe fucked around with this message at 08:15 on Dec 18, 2013 |

Rapner posted:I'm tempted to lower the action on my Epiphone Les Paul Junior because my fingers are killing me even after playing for a month. Is that reasonable or is my finger pain to be expected anyway? Play an acoustic guitar for a month and when you go back to your electric it will feel like you are playing silk strings.

prom candy posted:I think I'd rather get varied DLC than 3 or 5 packs. Although I guess if they released a 5-pack of a band I liked I'd be elated. I don't know I am fine with what they are doing now. They are releasing some pretty well known songs which is awesome. One thing I would like from Bandfuse is the ability to mute the guitar track so your guitar is the only one audible. It would be awesome to play like that once you master a song.

JetGrind posted:Quick question since I'm hopefully getting this game in a couple of days. Will I be able to run it with an AMD Radeon 7520G? I would assume the required specs on this are pretty low though since they want as many people as possible to be able to play. Yes you can. You can even run it fine on an intel onboard gfx chip, it's not gfx intensive at all. ScienceAndMusic posted:So I am eyeing some of the old rocksmith DLC since its on steam sale. How well does it import into new rocksmith? I am brand spanking new to this rocksmith thing and guitar but have been having a lot of fun and don't want to miss this but only want to do it if it integrates well and caters to my baby nature as well as the native rocksmith songs seem to. It imports fine and the songs are all updated with RS2014 features and they sound better since the last patch. You need to own RS1 on steam to be able to buy those songs though. keyframe fucked around with this message at 09:13 on Dec 23, 2013 |
