Ubisoft Increases Rocksmith+ Price... But Adds Metallica and Deftones?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- The Rocksmith+ price increase happened, but at the same time, Ubisoft has added things like Metallica, Green Day, Disturbed, Deftones, Oasis, and many more. There has also been a few quality of life improvements in riff repeater and overlay settings. Will this begin the downfall of Rocksmith plus? Or are we starting to see improvements again?

Thanks for watching the video Ubisoft Goes Through With The RocksmithPlus Subscription Price Increase
£119.99 a year here in the UK. Gone up from £84.99, that's a 41% increase which is absolutely disgusting even with those big artists added!
Not worth it, Ubiscam need to get their head out from their rear.
Subscription services are horrific. Good thing the games we bought back in the day, we can still keep.
Also 140 dollars for a year is ludicrous when back in the game you could get incredible games for like 20 dollars and keep it forever.
Also also, it's crazy how in all sorts of different genres of gaming, new game are trying to live up to previous games in the franchise from around ten years ago and yet they cost 3 times as much. The AAA gaming industry needs a reset.
I agree the sub price sucks, but also back in the day, games like Donkey Country 2 were $90 on super Nintendo
"AAA" games being expensive has been a forever thing. That why indie games rule.
*cough* Games that require a connection to a server to play *cough* that server could be shutdown at any time making the game unplayable
@@102ndsmirnov7 lmfao it cost me 200$ a year if i wonna play it in Canada it's fucking insane
Ubisoft doesn't want us to own our games, so I will just never buy anything from Ubisoft. Plain and simple.
If buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing
bro the high price sub honestly kills even the thought of this being a possibility, itd make more sense to put that money in a teacher at that point..
You tell me where to find a teacher for 20 bucks a month.
thats not true man, its £16.99 per month in the UK. I was paying £60 for 2 50 min lessons per month when I had an irl teacher.
Considering all the other prices gone up, the massive inflation over the past couple of years, etc., there's not really a surprise subscription services also go up, but I don't like the increase. Had my year sub renewed in December, so I have another 9 months to prepare for the next fee. The last 2 months have really payed off content wise, and I hope this signals the trend, though I hope they can do some obscure stuff and deep cuts in addition to all the bangers and hits. Still about 1300 official RS2014 DLCs not included in R+, and about 3/4 of the current 12k library are without authentic arrangements. Near daily there are new arrangements added, and the weekly drops are constantly adding value.
As much as I dislike that it has become a subscription service, I also understand the arguments behind, and the fact that the monthly sub is less than what I spent on DLCs each month also sort of is a saver.
Thanks for the update on this. You are how I get all my Rocksmith+ news now. Looks like it's heading in the right direction for now. Fingers crossed!
Along with 7-8-9 string guitar and 5-6 string bass, they should add bagpipes.
Bagpipe Hero! LOL! :D
The price increase personally I found love for RS2014 and CDLC.
More love sorry.
How did you manage to get RS2014
I want to get it for the ps5, but idk where to look without getting scammed by a 200$ game for the ps3...
Another great video, Dr. Chain.
I would personally feel a lot better about $20/month if extended-range guitars/basses were added, along with a complete UI change. This UI is borderline impossible to navigate, and to top it all off. Paying for an over-priced subscription model, and then having to pay for a VPN. Just to get the most out of the game?!?!
I really like the idea of RS+ and can see the huge potential it has. Ubisoft released a 1/4 baked game, and is charging AAAA price for it.
Thanks for reading my "small" rant about RS+. Keep up the great work Chain, and Editor!!
I bit the bullet and subbed for a year before the price increase, I love some of the tracks that would not be possible to have in 2014 due the way english led material was 95% of the time the kind of stuff Ubi released, nor they have cdlc for. Does it mean that I would recommend it, maybe? If you're into metal maybe the latest few drops have been for your liking, but lets see what the rest of 2024 brings. They are doing a better job now than the beta/first year of plus, so theres that.
I'm glad 2014 has cdlc, In my guitar journey so far I don't really need rocksmith+ unless I want to look at their lessons for more advanced stuff
They should've added this stuff at the same price, that's why it's a monthly sub. They can't just keep increasing the price every time they add something.
They need to add more big bands, 7 string guitar/5 string bass, and more piano support. Then I think it’s all worth it, even with the price. Hope a year from now this game will be amazing. Last year vs this year has been nothing but up (besides price change)
also id say vocal support would have to happen too, i think that plus all you mentioned would justify 139.99 a year
@@chaoticneutral1090 Just adding more bands alone would be enough, because it's almost out on ps5 and the last thing I wanna see is it still being affected by VPN...
like yoooooo wtf is that
The stuff they've been adding is finally starting to justify their original asking price to me, the money I spent on it in the first year just felt like a waste.
It's worth noting that the $60 in Metallica DLC would have been for you to keep as a one time purchase. You wouldn't lose it if you stopped paying the fee in a year.
It seems like a lot of people stopped respecting what goes into music licensing. If the accomplishment of licensing songs that people have wanted in a platform since 2011 doesn't resonate with you what does the existence of RS+ matter to you? Just continue doing what you are doing, it was either Rocksmith+ or the end of Rocksmith being supported, a lot has changed since 2013 with the music industry.
I love that they officially have Metallica on there.
Played the shit out of them this morning enjoyed it so much
I'm in the US so I would have to pay for a VPN on top of the RS+ price. I just don't think the price is worth it when I could look up free tabs on youtube and play along. Idk.
"is rocksmith+ worth it?" short answer: No
I’ll never buy no matter what until they add 7 string charts
I refused to commit to a subscription before there was a trial. Then they added the trial. I tried it and... it didn't even work. When I started the game it kept telling me "you don't have an active subscription, click here to view subscription options" and when I clicked the thing it brought be to a page that SHOWED ME HAVING AN ACTIVE TRIAL SUBSCRIPTION
after all that time the game was released it is still missing a lot of music we have/had in RS2014. Like breaking benjamin, three days grace, story of the year, system of a down, sum 41, my chemical romance, avenged seventhold, foo fighters, rise against, iron maiden, bullet for my valentine, papa roach, billy talent, yellowcard, volbeat, skillet, good charlotte, sabaton, all that remains, still remains and a lot more.
so still not worth any money.
Some of the new features look pretty cool (tabs, being able to select a section to play, etc) but what I really want to see is.... what do the lessons look like??? I can't find anything online regarding them. What are they like? What do they cover? How good are they?
Reason I am asking is because I started playing bass a year ago and pretty much just play using Rocksmith 2014 on my laptop and XBox.
Could you possibly play a couple practice sessions of lessons so we can see what they look like? Thanks!
For the guitar lessons i find the exercises useful. Also the beginner course was nice and helpful and they had a practice song for each of the lessons. There are some scales practice tracks also. I tried the intermediate lessons and it seems they stopped caring. The video explanations aren't that good and there are no songs for the lessons, just some practice tracks that are way to hard for me. So if you are a beginner there is a nice course to try but that' s all. After that you are better off with youtube or whatever.
@@nicogr2009 Wow! Thank you so much. I appreciate this. It sounds like the lessons might be a little better than the ones in RS2014 which goes along the lines of: the instructor mentions a couple things about the lesson, there's a practice track and that's it.
I was hoping that RS+ would have more detailed lessons with tracks to go along with them.
I started playing bass last year and am looking for some "affordable" lessons and I thought RS+ might be a good way to go.
@@nicogr2009 Thanks! Was this for RS+ or RS 2014 because I have RS 2014 and this described the lessons on that.
It's a weird situation because I want the artist to get paid at the same time but God damn these subscription services are ridiculous
Already got my PS4 and PC version of Rocksmith 2014. Probably we won’t see complete guitar games from now on
So I was going to get RockSmith+ after my trial was up and I decided not to get it.
The game is pretty fun, I like the features but when I thought about it there aren't enough songs that I wanted to play and because of that, it just doesn't seem worth it to me. It feels like it's 1 in 300 songs that I’m interested in, and they only care about having a lot of songs versus good songs to play.
I hope it gets better in the future because I did like it a lot but for now, I decided to buy some TrueFire classes instead.
Hate the subsxription. Hate more that the game only works connected to the internet. Feel a bit better about the song list as a bass player and someone who enjoys playing a wide range of music but it still leaves me wanting tbh
They are adding things for streamers, not for consumers. Like Destiny 2, this is for streamers, not for average people, we regular folks have to stick to the old tech of using books and videos from 2005, because F' You, pay me! So enjoy streamers, this game is for you and only you, we regular folks would have to stick to using old books and videos that are blurry as hell because of the year they came out on youtube.
I can confidently say that Rocksmith+ is not catered to streamers lmao
With how the music industry is, I understand why to go with the subscription model. But I'll be honest, I wish for there to also be a standalone product for a set number of songs/features from Rocksmith+ and either give updates or paid expansions for those wanting the RS2014 type of product so it's not a Sub or Nothing situation, especially since you can't get the original Rocksmith or 2014 anymore. Especially where some will want to learn keyboard/piano through Rocksmith without having to pay for a subscription when you're starting out.
Otherwise, yeah, features that we want aren't there, which hurts when you see the nice things that're added to Rocksmith+. And for $20 USD/month, you're almost paying for a private one-on-one lesson. Yes, there are more than just us rock/metal guys for the Rocksmith audience, but it's disappointing when they do the work to bring 7/8/9-string guitar and 5/6-string bass songs into the catalog with the standard string arrangements feeling off compared to how you would play those songs on their respective instruments.
When finances are as tight as it is, the $20 USD a month just isn't worth it to me
i think the subscription degrades rs+ because were so used to CDLC.
(like why pay for charts i already have), but people probably pay much more for guitar lessons each year, and thats limited lessons at that.
rs+ is there whenever you feel like it, and has a bigger range of songs, instruments, and more compared to guitar lessons.
im still not set on paying for rs+ because i do use rs2014 and its just a hobby(im also poor), but the features rs+ has would have made it 10x easier to begin learning guitar when i did.
increasing the price was wack but comparing to alternative ways of learning guitar its not such a bad price for learning imo.
I'm cautious about RS+. The big let down in my opinion is the region locks along with it being subscription based. Being subscription based, they could take away tracks and you'd never get to play them again until they get the rights again. With 2014 DLC, just like now, you get to play them after they are delisted and are still available for download if anything happens to your hard drive. I want to be optimistic about RS+, but right now I can't be. Maybe one day though, but until then, I will remain cautious about it and keep an eye on it.
They should be careful to not have the subscription price so high no one is willing to pay anymore, the price should be a balance of being able to afford big artists while keeping the price as low as possible. If they add even more instruments to learn (like they already did with piano) then what they could do is ask a subscription per instrument, this way they don't have to increase the price just because a new instrument is added which should make it more affordable than just increasing the price cause new instrument.
With rocksmith+ being a subscription service and the price increasing i wonder why people either keep using what they already own or if they don't own and it's not available to own anymore pirate it
Ubi will never add songs from obscure metal bands i like. But in RS 2014, i can add them myself. That's why 2014 is still better
Ubisoft:We Adds Metallica in Rocksmith +
Me:Yeah
Ubisoft:you need vpn, and we up price to Rocksmith
Me:*Evil Sounds and Given Up in my head* Are You Fckng Kidding Me!!!!!?
Since RS+ doesnt have guitarcade, is there an alternative? I truly don't think I can learn guitar without guitarcade. The songs don't look like they will improve my skill as a beginner.
Its disapointing that all the original dlc from rocksmith 2014 is missing as they already charted the songs
More like they should be adding the console before they add this stuff
Just because of the subscription I'll keep playing Rocksmith 2014 until I good enough to even care about this game. The remastered 2014 runs great on my PS5 with the real tone cable.
My rocksmith cable gives massive feedback on rocksmith+ I tried with my bass and my guitar. I don't remmeber it doing it back on 2014 years ago. Was thinking of trying to get a scarlet was leaning towards solo but wondering if any reason for the 2i2 instead? Not sure how much that noclip or auto gain would help with this.
Is it a 2014 cable or an original rocksmith cable?
@@iored Original rocksmith I believe. I didn't know they made a different cable. Pretty sure I started out on original so it woulda been that one.
id say the price increase was just way out of line.. how long did it take in gaming for 50 dollar titles to get up to 70 dollars? like a decade? it took rs+ a year to get 40% more expensive and those 40 percent are more than the 20 bucks that AAA titles got increased by, thats insane! i have just as little of an idea where rocksmith+ is going than you.. im worried about further price increases only 9 months or something down the line.. who knows..
I've just been holding out for a free trial. Also, I had no idea that this R+ was out of beta....
Apparently you can play the mobile edition with a catalog of free tracks
that random stardew valley music was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
oh i was really thinking about getting this i have it on my wishlist and it comes out in less than 8hrs on steam and i was looking at a piano to get for this... but it subscription based? never mind.
Can I use my ipad and pc both with one subconscious
I think the menu is a bigger turn off for me than anything else in the game at the moment. Hot take I know. The reason that is, is because I'm open minded. I've played every single song in RS2014 (500+ base game DLC, and over 2000 CDLC) and found tracks and bands I love through that. The same could happen with RS+, but I can't do that with how the menu is laid out. I don't know what songs I've played or missed. I want the RS2014 layout for at least the menu (Not to mention note highway) and then I may consider this worth my investment. But as it's trying to get new players, i think it needs to appeal more to them. With like the games and such. Like imagine a Roguelike where you have to play your best scales to min-max. Something crazy like that. And of course tracks players want to learn. Add some Periphery or dog forbid, Animals As Leaders somehow (Octave pedal exists) for advanced players. At the moment it feels like nobody is being heard despite these great additions recently.
I hate subscription services but what was more of deal killer for me is that there were very few songs I liked, and you had to sort through an endless sea of bullshit songs to find them. The price hike and awful user interface didn't help. I also thought that the note detection was not as good as 2014. I may consider resubbing if they did an rsmods type setup with the 7 string. As of right now, on PC I see no reason to spend that type of cash when 2014 with rsmods and cdlc is substantially better than +.
I do like the blackout mode though, the backdrop in the songs was annoying. Looked like a goddamn live action adaptation of a 1990s trapper keeper.
Do they have a sessions mode like 2014 has? Finally learning how to use that in 2014 lol
the fact that THEY STILL don't have 7 string is crazy to me
I don't like the subscription, but the QoL features of RS+ do look enticing. Although I really do not like Metallica, Green Day, Disturbed, Deftones and all the other music they added that is supposedly a big deal.
Where the hell is the console edition?
Can you please suggest where to get that band for the string noise, mute, or something similar? Thanks man.!
It's called a fretwrap, there's a few brands that make them!
@@Chainbrain Thanks buddy!
Is there a cdlc on rocksmith+
is green day in north america
*я скачал 200 гигабайт песен, моему роксмит ничего не грозит еще 200 лет... а ты думай дальше*
I'll stick to rocksmith 2014 lol I haven't played guitar lately but it's time I start again.
No console release either, this is why I pirate their games :)
Such a badass
How long you been playing Mr. Brain??
Been jamming since 13/14 years old
Cool. Were you self taught or did you have a teacher?? I've been learning from videos since November and I'm really starting to get the hang of it. I'm not sure if I'm doing harm and developing bad habits though as I don't know any other players.
I'll say it.
The price increase is ridiculous. Half of the songs are player input and have a lot of errors. Adding a couple artist doesn't justify a 40% increase on price.
i’d rather just buy a 100 dollar 2014 key
I'm glad they are adding in songs that people might actually want to play, BUT even without the price increase, the subscription model was doomed to fail, I would rather have expensive DLCs and madatory online connection so you cant pirate them or something, it feels ridiclious if I only want to play 5 songs from their whole library to churn out money every fucking month
The DLC cost argument is also trash, because if I buy the Metallica DLC for 60 USD I know I will have it forever, if I subscribe to this piece of shit BECAUSE of the metallica songs I might still lose them, so I might be paying for month and month closing in on the 60 USD total price for the DLCs but they suddenly remove it and I'm fucked, music and guitar playing is not like fucking netflix at least definitely not for me, I dont just look at a song and say "oh lets try this"
The argument is not trash, you just dont agree with it. Having access to the whole catalog for a sub is a powerful thing for those who like to find new stuff. Definitely not for you though if you admit to not ever wanting to try anything new lmao
@@Chainbrain I see you took the "DLC argument is trash" as a dig at you, was never meant like that, it was poorly phrased, but I stand by what I said, everywhere I look the direction is you do not own anything, you pay monthly and just hope the service will be good enough so it's worth it for you, I do not think this is a good direction, also tell me if I'm wrong but I highly doubt people explore new music through Rocksmith, you do that by listening to music full stop and then you might want to learn the new cool song you have found, I cant imagine anyone would likely want to pay more than 5% of the current library of songs and the fact that nothing can stop them from removing stuff randomly just as they can add random stuff is I think extremely bad for something that is a tool for learning and practice for most people, you PLAY rocksmith, it is mostly a game for you I feel, also your livelyhood at least to some extent, as you said in the video your take will be wildly different from the average Joe's
When you buy the Metallica DLC, you can play it all the time without paying more, unless there's a way to keep those songs without being subscribed.
There is no Metallica DLC to buy.
All of Metallica's music is free on rocksmith 2014
Cost of vpn and rs plus. No thanks. Not even worth it at regular price
Wait no Metallica in North America?
so far not without a VPN
Whiskey in the Jar is on US/CA
For the price of a fast food meal, per month, I can play/learn a ton of music on guitar, bass and piano and continue to support the companies efforts to keep adding more. It's not a tough decision... What Rocksmith 2014, a dead product, did before is meaningless.
I hate subscription services but if they just gave us 7 and 8 string guitar i would totaly look past it and subscribe, until then, i aint subscribing
I can play every Metallica song ever made for free on rocksmith 2014. I genuinely don't see why people would purchase the rocksmith plus. What is the benefit?
If they add 7 string and give me some modern Evergrey or tracks off Abyss from UTA I would get it.
I was only going to do the trial version but Metallica not in the USA and Canada is a rip off lol
This exactly. I have a lot invested in Rocksmith 2014 on the Xbox and PC. The only thing that would get me to subscribe would be if they get the licensing for Metallica in North America and obviously they need to beef up their catalog with other artists too.
@@datooch i agree
Always going to hate R+ purely because of the subscription
In regards to the price increase…
Biden: *I DID THAT*
"If you look at it, just the Metallica DLC would be like $60" yes... But I would OWN it. I can buy those songs, not give Ubisoft another cent, come back in 5 (10 or however many) years when they've shutdown the RS+ servers and guess what? I can STILL play those songs, basing the value on "yer but you get so many songs for your money" is a false argument. Sure, right now, yes you do have more songs/better value for money. But long term? You've actually got nothing and they can take it away at ANY second.
It's not a false argument, it's just one you don't agree with. Which is fine.
Rocksmith is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get and it's always overpriced
Nah bruh yall should stop streaming it since its literally going to turn into nothing but a cash grab and will keep going that way until enough people stop buying
Do i only have to pay one sub if i want to play on PC and on my PS5?
