I don't think it wou...Interesting approach. . . I don't think it would ever have occurred to me to play a song in Score Attack before I had run through it a few times in LAS mode. Clearly that's an option, but I just don't think I'd have ever thought about trying it. Does seem odd that your progress in one mode isn't reflected in the other, but I suppose tieing the two modes together might involve a lot of processor-bogging software code. I think it might be very hard to credit your progress in LAS to all the different levels of Score Attack. That's my guess. <br /><br />Don't need a new bass? I had a perfectly playable guitar when I first got Rocksmith. Now I own at least 6! Four of which I plan to keep. And, as you should remember - I'm a drummer, not a guitarist! So, unless it's going to cause your kids to miss a meal or something, just keep the bass. Nobody will hold it against you. I suspect Rocksmith has had a noticable effect on guitar and guitar accessory sales over the past two years. I'm surprised Ubisoft hasn't capitalized on that a little more than they have.

They touch on a bunch of them - I imagine to explain what each type of pedal does - and then there's a couple of "equip a rack pedal", "equip a loop pedal" in each of the possible locations for pedals. They also make you muck with your amp a little (change a setting) and swap in particular speakers. It's a bunch of missions, but they're all really quick (you don't even have to play once the pedal is equipped) and it's all right there on the same screen. But, tedious, none-the-less.<br /><br />As far as the achievements - I scanned them once or twice just to see what kinds of things they were - I got the Ernie Ball one too (and yes, it's def product placement), but I agree with you - so be it.<br /><br />Session mode - I've done a few of the missions - again, just to get them done. But each time I do one, it throws another one at me. I'm beginning to ignore the missions and just concentrate on LAS/Score attack, since that's where I get my enjoyment from the game.<br /><br />Speaking of which - I find it interesting that I can do something like play a song in Score Attack and get gold on medium, yet the LAS is still 0% and still starts me out like I've never played the song. The 2 areas of the game aren't connected at all, and it seems to me like they should be linked somehow. No big deal - just felt a little odd to be playing 1 note every other measure when I choose the song for LAS when I've already completed the song on medium...<br /><br />Rereading my last comment - I guess I shouldn't have shortened "improvising" to "improving". ("improv-ing") :-) I'm all for improving - I'm no good at improvising.<br /><br />Lastly, I just bought a new bass. I don't need a new bass - I already have one. I'm not good enough to require a new bass. Money is still a consideration in my life ("C'mon MegaMillions!"), yet I await delivery of my new bass. And that's the worst part - I bought it on online, never having played one live. Gah. I already have GAS from other hobbies - I don't need it here too.... Oh well - not too late to return it. :-)skydvrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591947515218661072.post-80751012697583509832013-12-10T16:28:27.597-08:002013-12-10T16:28:27.597-08:00Dude! You're an encyclopedia of achievement in...Dude! You're an encyclopedia of achievement info! Where did you get all that? I found out about the Ernie Ball thing by looking at my avatar on XBox Live and clicking on my achievements. And, you're absolutely right - it's a 250 note-streak across two songs. Seems sort of like a product placement opportunity kind of deal - sort of like a local lawyer where I live who sponsors the "puck out of play" thing at the hockey games. But, that's cool. I don't mind Ernie Ball getting his name out on RS. Anyway, thanks. I was sort of proud of myself for that one. <br /><br />So, how many of these damn tone designer missions are there? I tend to be on the OCD side myself but as I've gotten old(er) I've found it easier to just say Screw it. But, if there's a light at the end of the tunnel, I'll go ahead and finish those damn missions just to clear them off my deck. I haven't spent much time in Session Mode, but I tried it once - probably to finish the mission you're talking about. I was OK with that but only because - so far - that's the only time I've been "forced" to go to Session Mode. Maybe they could shorten it to 5 minutes, but that's the equivalent of only maybe 1-1/2 songs. . . At least we've tried it.

I also don't like the session missions, because they take so long to accomplish ("play for 10 mins and play 3 different roots"). I'd rather play a couple of songs than noodle around with the session band for 10 mins. Maybe also because session mode bores me, although I think it's a great feature to have in the game. I'm just no good at improving, so 10 straight minutes of it is a chore.<br /><br />Congrats on the leaderboard score! It said "Perfect Game hard" because the achievement is "Achieve a perfect game on hard or master", and I don't believe that there's a "Perfect Game Master" achievement. "Perfect Game Easy" says to get a perfect game on "Easy, Medium, Hard or Master", so it's more like "Perfect Game on Easy or harder". I guess that a perfect game on master would clear all those achievements if you hadn't already....<br /><br />The Ernie Ball achievement is something like "Get a streak of 200 notes across 2 songs" or something like that - the idea being, get a long steak of notes right at the end of one song, and the beginning of the next...skydvrnoreply@blogger.com
