Awesome soundtrack + (1/4" to USB cable = real guitars) = win

I'm torn on Rocksmith. It looks like it'll be a pretty good learning tool, but I haven't really seen more than a second or 2 of gameplay at a time. I'm not sure if I really need to, I'm pretty sure I understand it just fine at this point, but still. I'm sick of the talking heads, I'm not going to buy a game/guitar trainer just because Dave Navarro said it's good.

I have every intention of buying this. Hopefully it will be awesome.

Well, it's gameplay isn't just simple screen cap. It's considerably harder to film people playing the game properly. Also, despite being a ubisoft project it hasn't got much of a hype built around it. Which of course leads to less gameplay.

You're saying it's difficult for Ubisoft to film someone playing a guitar in front of a TV? I'm going to call bullshit on that.

And the lack of hype is exactly why they need to show more.

I'm going to get this and learn to play guitar so I can impress the shit out of bitches and get my dick wet.

Has anyone played this yet? I'm going to buy it today unless you assholes have heard nothing but terrible things about it.

It dropped with almost no fanfare, seems like n1gaf about rhythm based games anymore, except me ;-;

[Diablo]

A friend of mine has it and he says it's good. From what I've heard, it's great if you're looking for a more fun way to learn the guitar, but not so great if you're looking for the next fun rhythm game.

[the.doctor]

good thing thats exactly what I'm looking for

[Diablo]

Then I've heard nothing but good things, so go for it.

Been subbed to r/guitar on Reddit and a lot of people there keep saying excellent things. Tempted to get it myself since my guitar practice has been more than lax.

[MiLK]

Hmm. This has my interest now. If it's something that can actually help teach me guitar I might buy it. If anyone has more first hand experience with it please post and let us know. Thanks!

[the.doctor]

its pretty rad, bro


The control style is intuitive, it works as a guitar tuner. Its interesting because your skill level is constantly being gauged by the game, if it sees you consistently able to execute all the skills at a certain level it steps it up to a more intricate version that becomes progressively more like the actual song. The songs themselves are OK at best, only a couple really grabbed me - but I'm into it because even after a couple days I'm noticing an improvement in my ability. Also, I'm starting to build callouses on my finger tips, JUST LIKE A REAL MUSICIAN!

[Arnav]

Can't afford it right now. Will buy when I can. It's apparently tons of fun for guitar beginners like me.

This'll actually come out for PC in December sometime around AC:R for PC but I only have a classical guitar, so i won't be able to play it =/
