Should I buy original Rocksmith or 2014, before delisting occurs?

[Celine "Hard on the eyes" Dion]

-I don't have a guitar for now but I plan on getting one for me and/or my kids.
-I am a bit of a game collector on Steam.
-Original Rocksmith is getting delisted this week, but it's not on sale anywhere so it's full price
-I don't know if and when 2014 will be delisted, but it seems it hasn't been on sale (a good one) for a while.

I don't NEED both of them as collection items, but do I need both of them to get more content for when I want to play in the future?

I think I'll pass on the original, and wait for a sale before the 2014 gets delisted.

But that's why I ask for opinions here, maybe I should buy the original before it's too late? IF it's worth it + it'll add to my deslisted games collection, I may jump on it...

Thanks a lot!

So when are the DLCs for it getting delisted? I see "Shortly thereafter*, Rocksmith (2011) DLC will begin to be removed as well." but that's not really informative.

I had a check and although there's a handful of songs in the base game I'd like I don't want them badly enough to pay full price for the game and the import tool.

The DLCs however do have quite a few ones I'd like.

Thanks.
They got what I'm sure was their wish anyway, rather than trying to keep an eye on that while hoping for a sale I went ahead and bought the main ones I cared about, if I had an accountant I'm sure they'd be scowling at me right now.

To add for to be sure

*With the sole exception of the Xbox 360 marketplace where, due to technical limitations, all Rocksmith (2011) DLC will be delisted at the same time as the full version of Rocksmith (2011) on Oct 17, 2021.

Haha! I still haven't bought the ones I want, I'll probably buy those who get delisted each month, unless they go on sale (which is very unlikely IMO) I'll buy all the ones I want at once.

Now I need to buy a guitar!

Thanks for the information, I was aware of it and wasn't concerned as I'm on PC, but maybe some ppl have the game on Xbox and will want to get the DLCs before its too late

Think I'd bought RS2014 about 2 years before I got around to doing that so I could actually use it, basically when I realized how much I'd spent on the DLCs and it was going to waste if I didn't finally try learn to play a bit.

[Celine "Hard on the eyes" Dion]

I'm a bit crazy but I totally accept it. I just bought those games + the transfer tool at full price (got 2014 cheaper on grey market) and I don't even have a guitar. I really need to get myself one and maybe a smaller one for my kids!(oldest is 5)
I think playing games is cool, but learning something at the same time is the best thing you can do, and that's why I plan on playing with my kids someday, without the need for a subscription like Rocksmith+!

Dont forget you need a separate to buy Real Tone Cable aswell. I guess they will still be available since 2014 version uses the same one.
you can find it on amazon, order it on gameshops and the like. Maybe even second hand.
Or get a boxed version for PS or Xbox, they include the cable and can be cheaper, The cable works on every OS,
Yes there are workarounds, but if you want an easy and good working solution, the cable is the way to go. The others require a bit more pc tech knowledge.

For a kid there are smaller guitars, but even i bought a smaller (7/8) size acoustic guitar later on.

Yup, got mine on Amazon about a year ago, as worried they might get hard to find so bought that long before the actual guitar too.

Playing the guitar is extremely fun, but the initial learning curve is steep and can be intimidating (~first 200 hours). Basically, you need to develop muscle memory, and that takes consistent practice, which Rocksmith is very good at providing.

You might want to get a bass guitar too, as that might be a bit easier for some songs and help develop other skills.

Even the potential of opening up the world of music for your five year old is well worth the total investment...good luck with everything!

Thanks guys for your replies, I really appreciate that.

[Celine "Hard on the eyes" Dion]

yep but still available on Fanatical, Gamersgate, Green Man Gaming and other official stores. They'll probably remove it in the coming days though

[Cataleya22 (⁠ᵔ⁠ᴥ⁠ᵔ)]

I was wondering already why it wasn't removed earlier.
Then i thought maybe because Steam showed 18 October 2012 instead of 2011.

But also still see the dlc songs of the same date?
They will follow now i take it?

[Celine "Hard on the eyes" Dion]

Ubisoft wanted the game gone on October 17th but they probably asked Valve a bit late... you can't just call them and ask for your game to be removed tomorrow! I don't know the exact delay, but there's one for sure. So the game was finally removed on the 19th, 2 days later than expected.

About the DLCs, none of them was removed on Steam for now (don't take my word for it, but that's what Ubi said) and they will all be removed in the following months. You can follow this thread to know exactly when each one will be removed:

BTW the Xbox 360 DLCs were removed at the same time as the game.
