Re: How often does anyone play this game anymore?
Even though Stepmania doesn't do much for me anymore, I'm still really interested in DDR/ITG. Unfortunately, the dance-game scene here in New York City is abysmal to nonexistent.

Re: How often does anyone play this game anymore?
I thought there were rhythm gamers in that one arcade in Chinatown near timesquare or w/e?

Re: How often does anyone play this game anymore?
There's a Chinatown Fair on Mott street, but the pads don't work very well. There's one machine that is decent (has a bunch of ITG + custom files, but no DDR IIRC), but either way, the arcade is always pretty empty back there whenever I've visited.

Re: How often does anyone play this game anymore?
i only have like 1 session where i push my limits once a month now. then i just play very irregularly across that month (e.g. casually playing for like 10-20 minutes a day or two, or not playing at all for a week or two, etc.).
personally i've felt like i don't belong in this community since i had started speedrunning (just over 2 years ago), and i've invested most of my time into that since then. recently i've been trying to get my life together, and it's becoming hard to find motivation for stepmania anymore. i really want to get more into DDR/ITG though, whenever that will happen... idk.

Re: How often does anyone play this game anymore?
the rhythm gaming community as a whole doesn't approve of CTF

Re: How often does anyone play this game anymore?
I still play..
Don't post scores much anymore though. |
04-17-2016, 09:59 PM | #27 |
I'm okay I guess

Re: How often does anyone play this game anymore?
I play almost every day, I just tend to lurk forums and never post unless it's for a tournament or something. In fact, you can catch me in MP almost everyday at around midnight server time. :P
EDIT: Also, I plan on stepping my first few files (so they may be pretty sucky) once this semester at my college ends so we'll see how that goes. Last edited by sweet2kill210; 04-17-2016 at 10:02 PM.. |

Re: How often does anyone play this game anymore?
I play very rarely and if I do it's just to check out new charts/songs and maybe re-visit some favorites. I lost my competitive nature in this game.
I've become more involved in other communities for games now like Tera and somewhat BnS and thus I've felt less connected with the FFR community over time. I also just started college recently so most of the time I'm busy with that during the weekdays.

Re: How often does anyone play this game anymore?
Used to play daily, now it's rare if I can get an hour or two within the week. Uni is slowly creeping up my priorities list and FFR is slowly moving down.
Kinda like Elite, I really only play my favourite songs or new content now. Also, on another note, the forums seem almost separate from the game now. There aren't many game related threads/posts anymore. Even as I look at the Latest Forum Posts, there is really only 3 threads that are game related, 2 of them being the Rivalry threads and the other is the Weekly Updates. Everything else is TWG, other video games, SM, artwork or other misc things. Tournaments are scarce to non-existent, brag board threads are 90% SM and general talk usually has nothing to do with FFR (not that it has to). Dunno what I'm really trying to get at but mainly just seems like the forums are being filled with a lot of unrelated FFR things.

Re: How often does anyone play this game anymore?
I still step because it's relaxing to me.
This summer though is probably going to be the last chance I have to really work on files. Next school year is so real life. Quote:

Re: How often does anyone play this game anymore?
Ironically, while I don't play the game much at all anymore, some of the habits I've developed from rhythm gaming have had huge effects on my life.
I don't think, for the rest of my life, I will truly be able to listen to music without seeing arrows

Re: How often does anyone play this game anymore?
I go to the movies and wind up listening to the soundtracks and envisioning charts.
Like my friends are like "oh my god that plot twist was so crazy" and I'm just sitting in the car riding home being like "hey in that fight scene soundtrack the melody was totally runningmen patterns"

Re: How often does anyone play this game anymore?
Anything from 2 to 12 hours a week playing the game.
The main difference I noticed since I got involved in the community back in 2014 is that the sm scores thread got progressively slower. Even then that's a transition from dead to deader. Kinda directed at Neon, there isn't really that much to talk about the game itself so it isn't surprising that related chats and communities tend to diverge to other topics. Sharing scores, talking about events, discussing techniques, getting stepping feedback and debating difficulty ratings only gives you so much conversation fodder. Almost unfair to bring Cetaka up considering how good he was at that. And honestly, patterning and song choice were always bad (i.e. unoriginal or uninteresting) for the most part aside from a select few stepartists or specific charts. Naturally, you'll tend to remember more the better charts from yore which accentuates the feeling that recent files are garbage. |

Re: How often does anyone play this game anymore?
I keep coming back here because I keep beating games and running out of potential content to distract myself.
FFR is easy to access to, it can be started or stopped at any point without worries, it's free, I can play to challenge myself and ignore the competition if I can't handle it and the community is fine considering the state of the game. I learned to play for fun and I'm still enjoying myself. (when im not raging at lag and broken keyboards~) FFR is not dying imo, you're just starting to see players priorize different things in their lives and that's completely normal. |

I played everyday until I quit because of depression.

Re: How often does anyone play this game anymore?
I love stepmania itself. I love jacks. I love trills. I love streams. I love minedodging. I love to stepchart challenging files and to watch ppl play my files. I love to target AAs on hard files. I love sm5 theme song, bit countrified tho.
So I still play the game. Even the community is declining and thus it's hard to do such competitive things and I should set my own goals. Even though I feel bit lonely nowadays but it's just okay for me at least because I know that there are still unaccomplished goals forward me and there are still possibility of new styles of patterns. It's just my story but 'm posting it to remove despair in here. |

Re: How often does anyone play this game anymore?
I took about a 3 year break and got back into it last summer, for what it's worth. Maybe other people will float back into too?
I play somewhat frequently, I tend to fluctuate how much I play though. One week I'll play 6-8 hours, the next I might not play at all. For me though, I've been finding the most enjoyment stepping. I've been stepping more or less since I started playing, but only since I recently got back into it have my simfiles been of any real quality. As for goals, I'm just constantly trying to push what I can read! The Yolomania packs have brought me a lot of fun these past few months. |
