Too many songs?

Re: Too many songs?

But imagine a new player. Hes gonna think "oh, theres too many songs to play. I guess I wont try to play everything"

If you're a newer player and you think like that don't bother playing. You'll never get good.

That's only the case for new players who are already good. If someone who's already good happens to be new to FFR, they'll generally not even bother playing the lower difficulty songs unless they're concerned with average rank. If someone's new, they'll obviously start with the lower level files and work their way up; giving them enough time to both:

- build up skill

and

- have the chance to play through all the files


New players aren't even concerned with overall/average rank. And by the time they are, they've already played a majority of the songs in the game. If anything, I would expect newer players to complain about there NOT being enough files for them, not the opposite, lol.

Re: Too many songs?

It was once my opinion to take the least played songs every month and retire them...

turns out the least played songs get played a shit ton, haha

Re: Too many songs?

It makes it more fun to me. If it only had like 100 songs I would of played all of them and be bored. More is better.

Re: Too many songs?

This is how I feel. I realized that It would take far to long to get 1 or even 2 average rank. Since there's so many songs, the game just kind of gets bleh after a while. Hence why I barely play anymore. I feel like it's like WoW. They will never stop updating the game, so there is no ending to it. I guess that's why so many people play it. Not my cup of tea though, I like games with endings.

That's the opposite reason why I play. I just do it for fun. Don't care about scores. If I FC, then I am the best in my mind. AAA is something I only dream about doing, so I just play the damned music. If I do good, great, if I don't.. well it must mean the song sucks. xD

Re: Too many songs?

It wouldn't be fun if the game had like 10 songs and you AAA'd them all

Re: Too many songs?

If there's a limit of how many songs is too many, to discourage people from trying to complete everything, we've passed it long ago. Nobody's gonna think that they could do well on 400 songs but not 1000. It takes time to play through everything, sure, but that just gives more respect to the people who have done it. And if you don't want to play all the songs, you shouldn't be worrying about average rank anyway.

Personally, I really like the variety. If there were half as many FMO/FGOs left to play, I'd probably spend half as much time playing. If there are a lot of different files, you can always play one of the type you feel like playing.

Re: Too many songs?

Constantly adding songs is an important way to keep this kind of game alive.

The only demerit for it would be causing difficulty in seraching songs, and there're so many merits over demerits.

Bro, if you don't like the number of songs on FFR then you would hate stepmania.

Re: Too many songs?

if you actually care about ranks enough to play through every song in the game i doubt you're going to have any fun playing the game anyway

Well.. Put another way: If you care about ranks enough to play through every song in the game, you're going to have fun watching the ranks drop as you complete more and more songs, and watching your levelrank on each song improve over time.

Re: Too many songs?

I'm not exactly sure if my rank really does drop the more I play, I mean, the more songs I play on average, my average rank goes higher instead of lower... Can anyone explain this? I even AAA many songs but it goes from 5k->6k

Re: Too many songs?

I gave up on my ranks at about 600 do to this, it's time consuming to constantly improve 100's of ranks at a time. Other people may like it which is fine.

Maybe once there are more than 1000 public levels it would be a good idea to release 2-3 new weekly songs instead of 4, maybe.
