Mega Excited about this Game!

[Patrik333]

Hi,

I'm Patrik. 21 (22 this week!). I first got into rhythm games with SCGMD 3 on Kongregate. I loved that game loads and when SCGMD 4 came out, I played that one possibly even more.

Also in the last few months I got Sequence. I really enjoyed playing it, but I found the bonus mode (which is just standard rhythm games) more fun than the unique RPG/battle system in the end.

After playing Sequence I've been looking for a game where I can create/edit my own tracks, and after Googling, I came across FFR.

Comments on the game so far...

It is SO hard. When I played Spasmodic difficulty on Sequence, I remember thinking how easy SCGMD suddenly looked in comparison. With FFR, the effect is about 10x greater - "Standard"-"Tricky" translates to Spasmodic difficulty on Sequence, so I am already playing at what used to be my limit, and I still have far more levels of difficulty to master.

One thing I don't like is that there's no option to download the game. I know that it'd be impractical, since there's a huge library of songs, and the credit system wouldn't work offline either, but it'd be nice to be able to download my favourite tracks to play locally, for when I have no internet connection.

I'm also finding the lag quite frustrating - I used to get a bit of lag on SCGMD, before I got my new laptop. Since then, I've never had lag on SCGMD or Sequence, but on FFR sometimes the framerate can drop down to what feels like about 4 FPS, which can ruin a song for me. I'm playing on the R^3 Beta after having tried them all and liking the style best, but is this the best for reducing lag?

---------------

Anyway, I'm really pumped about this game - I can see that it'll probably occupy my attention for the next decade or so...

One question about creating songs - I know that it's illegal to create and upload stepfiles where the permission for the song has not been obtained, but is it possible to create a stepfile locally (and have some version of the game downloaded locally) and be able to use the stepfile for personal use only?

Cheers!
