Anyone got it? How does it compare to the previous release?
 
A little better. Like the "Band mode" wherein you play guitar and the AI adds drums, bass and the rest to your play.
Worth the R750 upgrade from the previous one.. In my opinion. Yes. A little easier for me to learn on this one and I didn't have to retune the damn guitar before every song.
 
oh man I'm loving rocksmith 2014!!!!!!!!!!
interface is sweet, way better with the constant tuning as well in 2012
 
Been using this for a while now, very impressed.

Anyone experiencing issues with note dropouts? ie notes played, can hear them but not picked up by the game?

Cable also has a little static every now and then.
 
The interface is better, the riff repeater has been greatly improved, the amount of learning material has also increased (in case you care) and finally, I'm of the opinion that the Guitarcade games are better in RS2014 and that they're actually playable now. Regarding the soundtrack (vanilla)... I think I preferred the original Rocksmith soundtrack over this one, but (and this is a big but) the DLC released after RS2014's release is really good (and not backwards compatible).

So, at full price I don't think it's worth the upgrade. But if you can pick it up on special and get the track import tool then you can effectively double your Rocksmith library for about $30 -- then it's worth it.

Now Steam just needs to stop their crap and put some better discounts on the DLC. :D

Be careful how you put this damn thing away. Had the same issue with my previous one.
Thought it was the guitar.

I also thought it might be the guitar, but get the same with my other 2 guitars as well. Always been careful to loop the cable nicely, a habit developed over the years.
 
I like how they release a new song pack every Tuesday. This game really is the epitome of how DLC actually adds value in a proper way.

/waiting in anticipation for a RATM song pack
 
Does someone perhaps know who has the PC version in stock atm? Brick and mortar preferred as I have an instant gratification "condition" :o

I bought mine 3 weeks ago from Super CD for R759 in Cradlestone mall, which included the game and the cable, I already have a guitar.
 
Thanks. Got mine couple of days ago from Marshall Music.
 
What is the cheapest guitar I can use with this?

I know ZERO about music

Any electric or bass guitar will work.
Personally recommend getting the bundle as it works out slightly cheaper.

Else try some pawn shops but you'll probably still have to take it down to a Music shop to get the guitar re-stung.
