    Re: The Video Game Mega Pack 4 (RELEASED!)

    I prefer waffles or crepes. :P

    Anyways, here my judgements so far.

    .execute - I have never really liked non-sightreadable gimmicks and this didn't really change that opinion. Doesn't help that the song doesn't have enough going on to make it too interesting. I played heavy, since the jacks in challenge were too aids-y.

    A Beautiful Day For Golf - Short and sweet, a great MA file.

    Abyss Stage Phase 3 - Felt like it was missing a lot. What was there was still good, but I feel like it could have some more to it.

    Airship Stage - I think the second loop could've been removed without much worry. Otherwise it's a nice simfile.

    Alien Lain - I really can't say since I was more worried about passing the file more than anything. It was a bit tiring though, but that's just me complaining about the song length, so whatever.

    Alien's Lain - Those measure long jacks on the left note kinda begs me to use Left or Right to move it over to Up or Down, but other than that it's pretty fun.

    All Over The World - The density of notes doesn't seem to correlate to the song too well, with robust sections being rather simple and vice versa. It just didn't feel right.

    Angle Island Zone - Those trills are okay at the end, but at the beginning I feel that they shouldn't be there. Also nice jumps at the end going to absolutely nothing. :V

    Armor-Plated Armadillo - That was good. Some of it was a bit dumpy, but all in all was fine.

    Art Through Adversity - fffffffffffffffff- I can't pass at all. Turn those jacks on heavy into trills or something. :<

    Ashley's Song - Couldn't really hear what some of the notes went to, making the chart feel inconsistent.

    Baba Yetu - Very brave song choice. It was okay, nothing too amazing, 'cept for the song choice of course.

    Balloon Fight Medley - That gimmick was horrible. Like "I want people who play this file to fail" horrible. Never do that again. Everything else was quite fun.

    Battle 2 - That was pretty cool.

    Battle Deoxys - Felt like a metal file. Can't really say much.

    Battle Ho-Oh - Was a bit all over the place with the difficulty, but it was interesting.

    Now Battle Legendary Pokemon - With so much going on in the song, it feel like this shouldn't have been stepped, but you made it work. Gets dense out of nowhere though, which felt really awkward to play.

    Now Battle Lugia - Read Battle Ho-Oh.

    Now Battle Traniner Battle - Reminds me of Multi-Man Melee from VGMP2. Also kinda miffed that no one stepped Mirror B.'s theme. :<

    Betrayal (the bloodraine one)- Oh look that solo turned an FC into a fail. Probably should make the difficulty curve a bit better.

    The BGM In Between I & III - Keeping the jacks in the easier chart doesn't really help bring the difficulty down guys. Still, after getting past the long jacks it got progressively better (ps, it shouldn't get better from being bad).

    Big Blag's Lain - So you looped it again, but faded out halfway through the second loop. Okay. Had the same issue with this that I had with Ashley's Song.

    Black Raine - This dragged on. It's the only thing that really stood out.

    Blade's Stage - So plain ol' 16th streams can be difficult. Wasn't too interesting. The second loop was unnecesary too since it made the simfile drag one for another two minutes. @_@;

    Blue Field & Catch 'em Theme - It was unnotable. The song and the chart just sorta did whatever and had no flow to it. The first part was nice though.

    Boss Theme (the power ragers one, not the elevendy bajillon others) - Another copy/paste second loop safasda. Don't get me wrong though, this file was pretty fun. Kinda felt like it'd belong right at home in VGMP2. Just...that second loop...

    Can You Really Let Stepmania Load Without Crashing, I Mean I know The .sm File Has A Long Name And Everything But Still - A rather quaint simfile. Could do with a challenge chart.

    The Stage With The Big Clown Going 8D - Jumpjacks right out of the gate is so fucking evil you meanie. Other than that it was a good file.

    Casino Area - Meh.

    Crazy Robo - Pretty neat. I liked how it felt difficult but was totally possible.

    Chelnov Theme - Those holds are really screwy.

    City (the power ragers city, you know which one i'm talking about, that one) - Heavy was pretty good. Challenge however, was just total aids.

    Coeur de Ceramique - Nice, but kinda ends out of nowhere.

    Collision Chaos - Kinda plays itself really. Nothing too interesting.

    Colress Battle - That was really cool.

    Commodore - See .execute

    Cooking Zess T. - She's makes a really good simfile. :P

    Crescent Island Boss Theme - Jesus christ I don't even wanna see how hard challenge can get.

    Cursed Destiny (wes you were supposed to fix the text, not set the opacity to 100% :V ) - Awkward patterns ahoy. Like I could barely read most of them.

    Dancing Leaves (aka Collision Chaos Part 2) - Holy fuck this is cool.

    Dance Through The Danger - Feels offsync and oddly layered. Needs fixing. :/

    Dark Demon's Song - Nice to see this song get some justice after KBU. Just thinking about that pack makes me shiver.

    The World With Less Light Than Normal - That 24th section was such a surprising difficulty spike, and not the good kind. :<

    Donkey Kong Country Theme - It's okay.

    Dr. Wily Stage 1 (the one from Megaman 10) FM Cover - I like it.

    Dragon Slayer - Nice, but the audio for the ending must be weird, cause it shifts rather instantly and holds go past the notes. But that's just me.

    ISIS Theme Song - The 24th could be made easier to hit on the easier difficulties, but other than that it's fine.

    Factory Stage - 2nd loop grrrr. Still, it was really fun.

    Fantastic Theater (aka the BEST file in the pcak liek no srsly) - The part before the solo always feels sorta empty, but then the solo happens, so it's okay.

    I Left My Heart in Rosmarie (RoughSketch Remix fiercest train) - Of course there's a jcore song in the pack. Anyways, it looks like it'd be easy, but then it isn't. Kinda strange. Kinda like the opposite of Crazy Robo. It was still fun, even if the score was terribad. :l

    Fighting Of the Spirit (Arrange ver.) - Again? Well this was pretty cool, but my brain couldn't read the solo. I don't know what that says of me. ;-;

    Had to stop for now. The tips of my fingers feel numb. D:

      "doesn't align correctly"?

        Re: The Video Game Mega Pack 4 (RELEASED!)

        @anyone who plays Angel Island Remix: after watching Arnt's stream, it seems that the mp3 has changed to a different version where the song loops and doesn't have an actual ending. Because of this, the chart's ending will make no sense. Surprised that no one until now has mentioned this but it'll be corrected in a patch soon enough.

        @arnt: the trills at the beginning go to the exact same part as the ending...dunno what you're thinking

                  Now that you mentioned and listening to the actual song, I think it might just be the end of the hold sound that Im hearing as a note.

                  gunna have to find out where to check the settings for bass/treble. It is weird tht Im hearing this low bassy sound over the drums. If anything its definitely some sound hitting on the percussion.

                  With the ending, it was so obvious I assumed they were working on a patch already and didnt bother bringing up. assuming is bad I know.

                    Am I the only one who likes the FFR chart for Angel Island Remix? Love playing that song

                    The ending is necessary tho the trills made the song

                      Wow, I don't even remember posting this (Sorry, I was celebrating at the bar last night).

                      But... WOW, Holy cow. What the hell?! Okay Yosh, for the most part, I'm going to invoke Hanlon's Razor on most of what you're saying to give benefit of the doubt, but if you're going to slander me like that, then at least get some things straight. I would have kept this to PMs, but since you quoted me out of context, I honestly need to fire back. #FFRDrama

                      Sure, if we're talking about the files I made Pre '05. I'll give you that one.

                      Steps that makes sense = Falls into that category ma'am.

                      Okay so, this was in response to your girlfriend or lady-friend or whomever she was on stream, whom of which made some comment relevant to that response that I can't really remember. If that was actually you and there was an echo in the background, then I apologize. It wasn't my intent; nor was it my intent to assume anyone's gender, it's just it sounded like a female made that comment I was responding to. If that was a trigger then sorry. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                      Thanks! Over 2 1/2 years. This gave me a chance to really dissect and look into each file in the pack.

                      To be fair, at the time you were speaking of inaccuracies in a particular file, to which I was responded that was subjective and it was a point you even actually agreed on. I didn't realize that is taboo nowadays. Also, there's more to say but don't worry, I'll get back to this.

                      Not at all. I've been involved in more packs than I can count on both hands, I was merely making a remark on how your reviews mostly consist of "Ok" (Which again, I kind of posted while I was actually super-drunk last night; doesn't make it better, but it's actually kind of true lol).

                      I never said anything like that so please don't slander me. You were pointing out things in MooMoo_Cowfreak's file that I disagreed with, and stated it was subjective, to which again, you even agreed was the case. I never ever stated your opinion was wrong, so don't lie about that shit.

                      WOW. At least explain the context of the conversation. I merely stated my opinion that MarioNintendo was the greatest VGM Stepper of our time currently, having personally been around since '03. I'm sorry if that's not a fair thing to say but I have to disagree with you there. You disagreed and said that was Hi19. Hi19 is good yes, all of his files in the pack are amazing (Shit, one of them is in my top 5), but there were a couple stinkers he sent in too that weren't accepted (He knows this as well :P ). MarioNintendo sent in no stinkers.

                      Dude, you're the one who put me on blast in front of everyone with fucking lies. This actually makes me want to legit quit the community. You even made me miss my appointment with my barber over this which makes me furious since he's only in town every other weekend. I really wish you would have taken this to PMs.

                      Finally,
                      All dumps are bad
                      I said I despise dumps. I legitimately just don't enjoy them because they tend to be bullshit and don't actually add anything to the song other than stress for the fingers. Just my opinion obviously, but I never said all dumps are bad.

                      EDIT: I'm sorry all for being amped up over this, but this dude just completely took things out of context to try and slander me make some kind of point. You can hate on the pack all you want but at least be honest.

                                lol bro cmon, YoshL blasts me like every thread I make, honestly him giving a decent review, I'd take that as a good review. You need to understand how he is, and also, I'd say he definitely knows a thing or two about songs, no disrespect, he's pretty high up there, playing for USA 4k osu team and all.. He's definitely been around the block.

                                Like look at this, I try to make something http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...d.php?t=145457 and I get destroyed cause of the public algorithm I use

                                -> Regardless of this, I don't take it personally because I understand theres drama between a prominent FFR community member and the people who run that algorithm, and I can look past it and see that people are in fact downloading it and using/enjoying it - same with this pack.


                                You all gotta understand, sometimes you'll work hard on something and people are still gonna nitpick what they don't like, sometimes it's unjustified or w/e sometimes they are just giving constructive criticism, but bro cmon we all know the only thing anyone really has in this game is their ego and how notorious they are, this type of game is basically the breeding grounds for the elitist gamer lol (I like that though to be honest).

                                Just take some of the stuff with a grain of salt and not too literally, droppin some real talk but everyone takes everything so personally and literally, like if Mina says "The devs in stepmania are all bad, look at these stupid int -> float -> int conversions", you shouldn't take that literally, you need to understand how some people here express themselves lol like damn.

                                This pack is great, but instead of taking the reviews directly at face value, focus on what they are trying to say - you all know you are great steppers (It's not from this pack, but kommisars Purple Drank is one of my favorite songs/files of all time, in FFR or FFR Community Pack, hi19hi19 has some super bomb files with things like dr1, Death Throes of the Terror Squid.. You guys are notorious steppers anyways) - the pack sells itself as the videogame megapack lol, like someone new to stepmania isn't going to read these reviews and be biased and not download it - and if you ask me, no one is a perfect stepper for songs. As amazing as any given song in this pack is, I wouldn't dare believe you if you said "I believe this song I made is 100% perfect" because the second you think your files are perfect, the second you stop making better files.
