“We all know how bad this game and the company behind it is so I'm not going to echo all the negative reviewers with the same experiences as I had, it's the same, they literally stole my money for the first month, I…”
“Well over 1,000+ hours in RS2014 here. This version is cool and it does have some things going for it that the other negative reviews aren't mentioning, such as pitch shifting your tuning so you can play D and C…”
“I don't know why everyone is so up in arms about this being subscription-based. The official DLC packs for Rocksmith 2014 Remastered cost way more than $20 a month if you're a regular Rocksmith user, and Rocksmith+ has…”

“3/10 ; Just get Rocksmith 2014 Before we begin; the obvious. The subscription model this game has is absolutely tedious, and in no way do i feel like this game is anywhere close to being worth $20/month. If it was…”

“Ubisoft has taken another great tool and ruined it. I keep getting error BASS03, which supposedly is caused by having an "invisible" online status on Ubiosoft Connect. First of all, why on earth does the status have…”

“Dont even waste your time with this. I connect my guitar with official rocksmith+ cable. And then when their videos start playing there's no sound. Rocksmith 2014 works without issue. this is pure buggy slop, i dont…”
“I had never seen **“Overwhelmingly Negative”** on Steam before. After trying Rocksmith+, I understand why it deserves it, although my problems were different from most reviews. The subscription price was not the main…”

“Most of the maps are AI generated and not even accurate, you have to pay a subscription to learn guitar improperly. Honestly just look up some youtube tutorials and get rocksmith 2014 with customs forge and it's…”
“It looks like step back from original title. Sure it`s modern and shiny, but deep down it`s a downgrade. I think the real reason for that is a music copyright rules. Shame, maybe someday we will see a true successor to…”

“Honestly, I wish we had a "Meh" button. I get the irritation with the subscription model. Especially since songs seem to (sometimes) go in and out of rotation depending on the licensing between Ubisoft and the music distributors. Also, I miss multi-player mode. My wife plays…”

Had me install, go through a tutorial, choose songs that I liked, then said "oh yeah btw it costs 20 a month to play those super fun songs you just chose! but heres some free ones" the free ones were…”
— a player, Steam review · 0 hrs played“DO NOT SUBSCRIBE. It is not worth the pain and suffering. Go buy Rocksmith 2014 and download songs you actually want. Overall the money spent will be less than a $20 monthly sub and you will get 100x more enjoyment out of it. Originally, I was not going to leave a review, but…”
