@turbonorsking No, there is NO WAY to shortcut learning the skills necessary to actually play guitar. This game simply makes it fun, and actually enjoyable experience. That aside, even if you don't buy it as a game, it's better than my amp and has way more effects than my gain pedal: for literally 1/8 the price. This is an extremely innovative piece of technology, but those who taught themselves are still at the advantage. Nobody will be as good as a true talent at guitar.
I just looked up the song list and it fails horribly. I am probably not getting the game anymore. No metal, maybe 1 hard rock song. They are all pop and gay rock from today, minus one or two good rock songs. This game is going to fail bad.
@misterjakemczilla Im not vouching for this game, but are you kidding me? Where Is My Mind, In Bloom, Breed, House of the Rising Sun, High and Dry, Higher Ground, Outshined, Icky Thump, Unnatural Selection, I Cant Get No Satisfaction...that's not a list that fails.
@bassluver32 Rolling Stones and Clapton are the only ones I like. In Bloom and House of the sun is ok but I wouldn't choose them to be on the game. Honestly all the others to me are crap and I don't want to listen to them let alone play them.
It's definitely the sort of game that will evolve with time and for the noobs, it would no doubt teach them how to play very quickly. I remember when I first started, I didn't have the motivation to play that often, shit, if this game came out then I would've been playing everyday within the first day rather than after a few months of playing. One last thing, it's called ROCKSMITH not Metalsmith.
it asked to play single notes and not at the full rhythm and since that was boring, I would play the powerchords/chords and it changed them to chords by the next section. I'm sure with this much innovation, it's bound to eventually have stuff like Between the Buried and Me Prog Metal difficulty, more classic metal like metallica or gnr. I also wouldn't be surprised if they start adding stuff like Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, Satriani, Vai later on for the more advanced players.
@bassluver32 The songs aren't super great guitar songs but, they aren't bad. I've been playing guitar for 6 - 7 years and regardless the game is awesomely fun. The dynamic difficulty is really cool since it changes the difficulty of the song depending on how well you play. I just got it today and since I never learned to play any of the songs given I just sightread them. I remember playing songs like In Bloom and Go With the Flow and it would adapt to me playing for example:
@tehpeasant It would be cool =) But im sure they will be but, something is clear, they always will have Pop-Rock songs because simply are Cool bro, the people like!
This game seems to be really Cool in a "Pro Way" to play guitar. You want to play Guitar? Why not this songs?
(Sure, I Would be as much pleasured as you if I could play something like Lamb Of God, Dream Theater, Metallica, Cannibal Corpse and that hahaha!)
@Donnner93 yes, the game comes with a guitar input jack to USB adapter so you can plug your guitar into your xbox. so you can use your ibanez guitar for the game
@lysolbombs470 Pretty much the same with every brand- if you buy ANY guitar for less than $300, it will not play well. As for bashing on Epiphones in general, I for one own an Epi Les Paul Standard Plus Top, and it plays as good as any Gibson Studio (yes, only a Studio, but still). But agreed, low-end Epi's and Fender Squires, feel cheap to me. Opinion. But rip out the guts and toss in some shiny new Pups (maybe change the neck, too), and you've got yourself a beaut.
If you're buying this game, I HIGHLY recommend you save up and invest in a nicer guitar, something at least in the 300 dollar range. Epiphone is generally something you want to stay away from.
@lysolbombs470 where do you get an epiphone for less than 300 dollars? And I own an Epiphone and I love it, I HIGHLY recommend you don't buy an expensive guitar to go along with this game, because it's not a guarantee you will become amazing.
Guitars go up in value, now down. Reselling on craigslist is always a possibility.
The point being, this isn't Guitar Hero. The purpose of the game is to be fun, yes, but also be a developmental tool. That said, having a nicer guitar, something you'll be able to use and grow on, is not a bad idea. If you're already considering putting down two hundred dollars, save another two hundred and find something a little nicer. Even try a pawn shop.
@lysolbombs470 Yes I do agree with that fact... but saving up 400 dollars will get you a low end epiphone new, but yeah I agree with checking out craigs list and such for a nice used one especially if you're serious about learning the instrument. All said and done I kinda really want this game lol
lol. Oh, I hear you. This looks like a fantastic game all around. I imagine it wasn't an easy feat to pull off, either.
400 could get you a low end Strat, and for as much hate I have for Strats, I'd still take them over a $120 Epiphone you pull out of a box. lol. I'm currently looking at old Guild Starfires on ebay. There are vintage guitars, damn good ones, for under a thousand. I guess my point was to try and put in view just how little a NICE guitar can cost.
ant and might be able to buy mini games if they want that idk if they are but that just sounds right to my brain idk since its the 1st game of it's kind that teaches people how to play I already know how to play guitar I wonder how hard this is going to be thou
Denm stop crying they might have music you guys can buy and yes it's Going to be on PS3(the best) 360(weak) and PC(why?) the game might be like $80 or so with guitar it's $200 and if you preorder from Gamestop you get $25off or something like that I 4got discount in guitar center towards a guitar and from bestbuy you get in game pedals I'm bot sure this confused me...and 2 free songs from either preoarder and they should have DLCs out later in the game or either you can just buy the music you w
oops sry im being dumb and didnt read everything lol $199.99 for the The guitar kit that includes the Rocksmith video game, the popular Epiphone Les Paul Jr. Guitar, Rocksmith(tm) Real Tone Cable, Rocksmith guitar strap and 2 guitar picks. and yes i copied this from game stop
@8maxthemax8 yea the only reason y i say + is cause you could buy a $1300 guitar and the games $200 so it could be an expensive game but in all reality it prob be around a $350-450 game if you get a guitar from a pawn shop or a cheapy guitar or just 200 for those who have a guitar already
@midmon Unless you already own a guitar, wait for a discount, and just buy the game/adapter package for $50 or something. I think gamestop orders also give you a gift certificate to guitar center. The game isn't $200.
dynamic difficulty an awsome move in music games that makes things esey then slowly rises as u get better solves my gamer rage competently thanks ubisoft
