Rocksmith post release thread!

[blamo]

As you progress through the game it will unlock different stuff. Some songs require different techniques, so they will unlock. I have all of the min games unlocked and have almost finished all of the songs. I have a few events left to play. I don't have all of the guitars and stuff unlocked, but who really cares about the guitars getting unlocked, it's the effects and stuff that I want unlocked. I was hoping that there was a freestyle section to the game, but have not found it yet. It would be nice to use different amps and pedals and just play freestyle.

i only finished 2 gigs and I've already unlocked all the challenges.

there is a freestyle section... ("amp" mode. i think it's the square button on the ps3)but you have to unlock the pedals you want to play with.

Had it for about 2 weeks. Played about 2 hours total. My problem is that if I start to play it, I feel guilty that I am not practicing stuff for my band's tunes. Must be a Catholic thing

?, what about bends. is there a game for that in Rocksmith. and if so, does it track if your bends are in tune or not

Yea they are there but it doesn't really punish you for bending too far. There is nothing telling you if it's a 1/2 step or whole step bend until you play the note and start. Once you reach the pitch there is a flash on the icon. You also have the backing music playing so you can match to that. Since the game allows you to insert other notes without penalty, if you bend a whole step when it should be a half nothing bad happens. I haven't seen any reverse bends yet, so I guess that means we can't have any Pink Floyd content.

I've put the game down until we get a patch, the 5 lives thing is annoying and Skyrim is compelling.

What 5 lives are you talking about?

it starts to "glitter" when you're in the "zone" for a bend. if you go too far or not far enough it stops glittering.

reverse bends

BTW: Can someone explain to me what reverse bends are? I never see this term before..

pre-bend?

 

[blamo]

it is when you bend the string so it's down one step instead of up one step...very advanced technique....

 

[grtyuh]

Maybe i'm moron but i still don't get it..

Loosening the strings instead of tightening them. Only ways to do it on a guitar with a fixed bridge is to bend the neck, or turn the tuning keys.

 

[Sinmastah]

You take the high string for example on the high E, 12th fret. You bend so it now plays an F. Then you release the bend so it goes back to E, so instead of bending up, you essentially bend down. It all depends on the initial note, in this case being an F, going down to an E. Instead of the other way around.

 

[grtyuh]

And now i get it! Thanks guys!

Press start and then restart... Now your game is Patched

My first post...

I joined the site after seeing this thread. Originally, I was going to buy an acoustic with digital pickup in order to learn guitar with Garageband. Now, there are several options on the market (even if Rocksmith claims to be the first) and the marketing of Rocksmith has sparked interest in a Les Paul.

So, with my budget in mind, I am considering one of the following guitars:

1) Epiphone Les Paul Junior - Trans Blue (may go Vintage Sunburst if PC users get the same bundle as console owners)

2) Epiphone Les Paul Special II - Trans Blue

3) Epiphone Les Paul 100 - Heritage Cherry Sunburst

I really liked the look of the Midnight Sapphire Tribute Plus and Ultra III but I know they are way out of the range I am looking to spend on my first electric guitar.

As someone else said earlier in the thread; ghost notes would be awesome...don't know if it is in Ubisoft's vision, though.

you'll get the same quality out of all 3 of those. go to the sore, try out a bunch in your price range and take home the one you liked most.

I started this thread and gave rave reviews throughout for this game, and now that's about to change.

I'm extremely disappointed with the DLC pricing points.

Very dissatisfied here and will not be purchasing any DLC until you get some sane pricing going, which is majorly disappointing for me as I've been a huge fan boy so far.

I was expecting 10 songs for $10, 99c per like itunes, and what was delivered was 3 songs for $10. That's an outrageous price, I'm sorry, not going to happen.

If you're reading this Rocksmith/Ubisoft, please reconsider, because I was ready to fork over massive amounts of money if it was actually worth it.

$100 for 30 songs? Yeah..right.

All the work and licensing that goes into one song makes me think that the pricing isn't that out of line. It was the same pricing for RB3.

It makes me wonder why the game was $50 and came with nearly 50 songs though.

($80 - $30 USB cable)

I got freebird, and won't get another until pricing goes down. I wouldn't be surprised if they start out at $3, and then drop in price as time goes on. But I completely agree.
