Re: ODIPack3 Simfile Reviews
=====BEGIN PART 1===== Aegis (rparty89 & bmah) - 7.5/10 The song is a bit monotonous to me. Both of you stepped it well with very flowy jumpstream that's for sure; but, that was just it, nothing memorable really. Decent starter for this pack though. Apocynthion Drive (Kommisar) - 8/10 The build-up for the song was very balanced. I really despise how you pattern your streams and jumpstreams, especially the ending jumpstream which was extremely difficult to make out and hit properly. Index friendly patterns at high speeds are very awkward to hit for me, then again, sugar coating the file with easier stream patterns just for better scoring and playability would probably just let the intense energy of the song go to waste. Good boss simfile, the rolls you used were certainly intriguing as well. asdfmovie6 song (AlexDest) - N/A My file. Autoprocess (Coolboyrulez) - 8.5/10 This is extremely brutal and very fun to play. I feel like some patterns could have been looked at more, like that anchor jack that happens on the left arrow near the middle. Bambous (Wayward Vagabond) - 9/10 Loved the different approach you went with for this song, flowed extremely well. It was dragging on up until the tap dancing + drum solo in the middle, which was redeeming and gave the simfile another kick start. Wasn't disappointed after that. Great job Carlos. Battle! Team Plasma (Patashu) - 8/10 This is one of those simfiles where I have to play repeatedly to get the full enjoyment. You always step so dense in your simfiles, and it still plays well. Although, some of those polyrhythms I'm still 'eh' about, it looks all randomly placed but that's probably just me. Bit Howl (t-rogdor & Detrimentalist) - 7.5/10 I don't know about everyone else, but this got repetitive to me and the ending didn't feel like it was as intense as the song suggests in the first half. Flowed pretty well but I felt this needed more "juice" in the ending. Blue Rose (stargroup) - 9.5/10 I still can't fathom how you can step so fluently to a song itself. In comparison to the FFR chart, this is almost perfect. I felt like you could have acknowledged the swing within the bass line that came in halfway. Although that would cause the minijack section to become underwhelmed. Speaking of, that minijack section felt pretty eh to me compared to everything else. BSpower explosion (SonicX & GLoVE) - 9/10 Heavy and Oni are similar to each other so I'll just review the Oni chart. A high-energy song with very diverse patterns. The jacks gave it that satisfying 'oomph' that the song displays and every bit of the chart flowed very well. Great job you two. Captain Murasa's Ass Anchor (Gundam-Dude) - 9/10 OH BOY THIS FILE AGAIN. Although, I would agree that this is your most memorable file. Heavy is basically your old chart which is probably fun to play on higher rates. Oni includes different patterns, jacks, and slightly more layering, which is done well and does the song justice. Chaotic WHITE (moches) - 7.5/10 I don't know, the jack theory was certainly fun to hit, but it was mostly dragging on because it all feels the same. Nothing phenomenal but I certainly have to give you credit for stepping this very accurately. Child Protective Services Theme Song v2 (t-rogdor) - 8/10 Only reviewing the Oni chart. The very beginning was hit or miss to me, the bursts felt too rolly for me to really get the feel. The ending probably could have had a little more layering too. Overall though, this was still fun to play through. =====END PART 1=====

Re: ODIPack3 Simfile Reviews
only at P at the moment (working backwards)
the numbers are kinda arbitrary so there is no BIG difference between say, 7 and 8s, but 9s signify that i rly rly rly enjoyed them, like rly rly, the jump from 8 to 9 is HuGe work in progreSs

Re: ODIPack3 Simfile Reviews
Simply, I cannot play all these charts due to my skill level. BUT for the ones I have played I have narrowed it down to a top 5 that deserve an honorable mention from me:
Oh, also these are not really reviews... but still I feel like its appropriate to place this here. 5) ilikexd - Snow Storm I've always been a fan of piano-related files, and the streams in this are quite fun. I really enjoyed this ^^ 4) Fissionmailed1 - Narcolepsy Ever since I first played this file I have been struggling to pass it. The music fits my mood for this song. I'm going to pass this fucking song. But really dude, this is so much fun to play. My fingers are given quite the workout haha 3) Bmah - New Lights I'm quite a fan of this file. Its a fun song, and something I can see myself skillboosting on. Also this song gets stuck in my head a lot. lol. 2) Scintill - Laveran no Shokutaku Specifically the lvl 10, I am in love with this chart. I think it flows really nicely, and is quite the challenge for me. Can't stop playing this, regardless of how many times I fail it lol. Great job. 1) Wayward Vagabond - Bambous Like damn son, you took my favorite song this year and did one hell of a step to it. Major props to you dude, I have perhaps played this around 50-60 times so far, and am working hard into being able to get a decent PA on it. I know I'll be coming back to this chart for a long time. <3

Re: ODIPack3 Simfile Reviews
updated with full pack review!
I didn't give ratings because they usually take away from what I want to say but everything bolded is probably a 9/10 or above captain murasa ass anchor - original was fun as fuck and so is this. what a great scoring file chaotic white - my file die winnipeg - way too hard for me to enjoy, but very very well-made far east nightbird - one of the best files I've made imo fashion queen - i like the rhythms a lot, but maybe the file's just a little too sparse. there's an imbalance between the long freezy bits and the notes around them that's a bit awkward. should be a blast for intermediate players, though! fffff - pretty nifty. lots of very well thought-out details. a little polishing would have made this splendid five regrets - you continue to be one of my favorite stepauthors bmah. super snazzy file. song itself is a little sparse and that makes for a tough job but I think your approach works well guile of the rime king - i can tell a lot of love went into this file. should be a staple in the brag boards. your handling of freezes could have been a touch more graceful (particularly in the parts where there's nothing but freezes going to the melody), but your mine usage was absolutely profound i'm on crack - so you are. i got a lot of kicks from this file innocent walls - barely scooted by with an AA on sightread. as somebody who's an absolute whore for jacks, I fucking loved this. insect digestion melancholy - hmmm. i really should dislike this file on principle, but the song is so insane that it just kind of works. that said, there's definitely some waffling going on in the very beginning with the freezes going to alternating instruments light house - impeccably constructed and sosososomuchfun mariostep - surprisingly clean polyrhythms, good job with that section. very fun file overall, though there are some very blatant PR issues with the jacks in some sections and the file drags on just a touch. great overall, very very impressive. poppin' shower - comparisons to smoooooooooch will be impossible to avoid. this throws in plenty of fun tricks but sacrifices polish/readability (particularly when it comes to the freezes at the end). whether that is good or bad will depend on the player, i suspect. red nikita - what a wonderful little file. simple but incredibly effective, reminds me of how much i loved MrBob's oratio back in the day (check out Xoon 3, kids!) solid all-around reefer man - i love the variation on GLoVE's cdtitle. the fact that people are actually making stepfiles to songs like these fills me with joy, but the file is excellent too, if a bit overcrowded in Oni/simplified in Heavy. resurrected replayer - sturdy as always from a Kommisar file, but a few parts just aren't as streamlined as they should be. that said, the quad followed by MINES literally shook me out of my seat. well-done with that. sane to more - i literally fistpumped when i finished this file. i am so glad you are back. snow storm - felt a little empty in the beginning and the streams were a little too...streamy? i dunno, this whole file just felt a little wonky to me. the teal stream thing was the best thing anybody has ever done with teal notes speed dial - high energy file as always from IcyWorld. i just wish it had some more swing to it, because the song has so many pretty flourishes that deserve notice. on a side note, the graphics for these are just fantastic. i love the pastel tones. spin the disc - supa dupa fun but maybe a little overfreezy? swing set - holy fock Yesssss toki - my file tranzport - again with the freeze quad fuckery! you are just the best at that, you know? this is like the platonic ideal of a hardcore file i wanna give u devotion - in the words of Randy, not feeling it, dawg. reserved when it should be cRaZy, unfocused when it needs to be smooooth. don't say anything - sliiiiick. i woulda cleaned up those freezes a little, though earthquake - when I saw the mines at the end I literally clapped. this is really cool, feels like something Yesssss would have done but has your identity stamped all over it. echo of forever - quite possibly the best file you've ever made, Marco. fallen world - how dare a Dragonforce file be this good. had quite a few parts I enjoyed mr. lonely - like a cross between a Red Fraction-era file and Fantazindy. that's a really really good thing. easily one of my favorite Ossa files, I'm so glad you made a file for this. oblivion - the handful of complaints I have (choppy flow, OVERLY LONG FREEZES) are outweighted by my happiness that there is finally a singles chart for this song pop a parade - simple and sweet. love the way the song just builds and builds aegis - despite disagreeing with a fair number of stepping choices, I still ended up really enjoying this asdfmoviesong - i'm really impressed by how well this manages to flow despite being freezetastic. simple but energetic and bombastic autoprocess - suitably brutal and oddly elegant. even graceful. i didn't know you had this in you, man. bambous - the freezes here are super-dense but they bring the file a rich texture i'm very fond of. a few patterns throw off the balance between right and left but all in all this is a sexy piece of work clash - stunned me off of my feet. zagh hasn't changed his style at all, and yet this feels effortlessly modern even as it hearkens back to the days of ODI and SMG. a real showstopper, this file. eater merry - the softer/easier parts are flawless, nothing to touch. i do love the half-bpm and how it almost slows down the time spent playing this, but the faster parts should have been doubled in my view--half bpm is great for bringing out a richer, fuller effect in sparse sections, but get too dense and it can become overwhelming. guitar layering at the veeery end could have been a touch more integrated. fantastic overall though. eos - reminded me of Niko's Captain Murasa file in some parts. very cute file, has some great rhythms. i'm not a fan of double freezes (especially not going to snare hits) but they're not too glaring here. ending climax should have been a bit more subtle, it just goes from too easy to WHOA huge jumpdumpstream in literally the space of one repetition laste testament of ur 12th mom - pretty neat, has its moments. much like Battle of Saruin this is a file i will admire more than enjoy orbital - B on sightread rofl. incredible, incredible file, though. when the dubstep came in i creamed myself paradise lost - my biggest miff with this is the patterns, which i really do not follow. also, 24ths/32nds often look awkward when mixed...i wasn't sure if it was technically accurate or not, but with better organization/patterns that wouldn't have been too big of an issue. decent as a scoring file, though. plasmatextor - i know everybody hates the 24th jacks but i actually loved the challenge. this file is intense but somehow it all flows beautifully. really nice. transparent world - played Oni. somewhat simple approach, but it's executed cleanly and for the most part effectively. the only thing i'd really tweak are the freezes, which are just a bit too pervasive, particularly in one section near the end. battle! team plasma - SO HARD. i quit out neat the halfway mark because i already played so much stepmaniers and my arms were giving out. i'm sure scoreboard fanatics will enjoy it... chronos - idk man this was pretty upbeat and i liked that, but some parts were a bit rough. maybe cutting down the freezes and rearranging a few patterns was in order. contact - pretty nice! the rolls are a bit uncomfortable, but at that speed i can forgive a little awkwardness. crack in the hourglass - played Oni. marvelous file, plays seamlessly even though it's hard as balls. layering choices are just as excellent. demonish animal appearance - played Oni. if it had ended just a bit earlier it would have been perfect. a good SSH file is never unwelcome, though, and honestly just the fact that we have a new dondon file is exciting enhen dousen whatever - HOLY SHIT this was fun to play. maybe a little heavy on the minifreezes, but that's more a style quirk than anything go go maniac - holy fuck sexy song have my kids. simple file, very easy to follow with nice patterns. i do wish that more of the percussion had been stepped and that some of the bursts had been toned down some. a little overlong but the variety and song make up for it howling - 11/10 i fucking love you bmah. this is basically tabibito rerun deluxe mix. i like trains - this is a carlos file through and through. simple but oh-so-clean and fun. i'll forget you - standard: really straightforward for a GLoVE file but so pleasant that it doesn't even matter. jacks felt too intense at first but i eased into them (though some of them are still fairly hard for the song) heavy: this is actually closer to how i would have stepped it, lol. most of my comments for standard apply here. both charts are fun and fit the song well, gj! in the name of god - basicaly half of this file is epic guitar solos and i love it. i could follow this up with some throwaway remark about freeze usage or whatever, but i won't because i really like this file and for once i just want to offer unqualified praise kona-yta altered scale - color scheme is very very cute. i like how soft this file feels to hit, even the longer jacks are smooth as silk. played heavy, haven't played edit yet lawn wake ii - for the most part quite fluid. not a fan of Baq's freeze usage honestly but there were parts in this where his dense approach worked really really well with the song, so props. laveran no shokutaku - one of my fave files. feels wonderful to hit throughout. pattern usage could have been more varied, I suppose. lost not forgotten - really incredible file, man. only complaint i can muster is some random uncomfortable freezes in the guitar solos. the rest is incredibly fun...well thought-out patterns and tons of challenge. my so-called life - you have some of the most crisp patterns i've ever seen. awesome file. narcolepsy - stunning. absolutely stunning. perfect song and perfect patterns. even the few things i would usually nitpick somehow add to the file's atmosphere (those notes right after freezes kept me right on my toes, which i usually hate, but in this file they were oddly hypnotic) new decade - i enjoyed the varied 16th rhythms in this song far more than i did the bursty sections (which i presume would be the scoring factors in this file). i dunno, song doesn't do a lot for me but i can't say i had a bad time playing this new lights - played Heavy. song itself has a lot of unbalanced elements, so i can't blame you for the file feeling weird in some sections. at the very least it's pretty unique and very well-made (great patterns and color theory!)...it just all felt a bit cramped. maybe Standard will be better in that regard. nth degree - didn't play this when it first came out, so this was a sightread. splendid, splendid, splendid. made me tear a little, even. parousia - reminds me quite a bit of Dolize. not quite an elegant file (which i was kind of disappointed about), but it's as richly layered as it is busy. solid. polssia - got way too hard for me at the end, so i quit out. what i played was nice, though. wasn't structured as well as it could have been, but had plenty of variety and the patterns were good seven - played Heavy. super intense file mang! the 24th stream is ballzzzzz sin - it's nice. i appreciate that it's a bit more open than other sin files, gives the patterns a lot of space to breathe. space is key - quit out, didn't seem like my cup of tea sports - very fun! the drum solo is aces, maybe i would have used jumps with a bit more discretion but your approach is perfectly fine too the creator - the rhythms are great and the file plays smoothly...i am just completely confounded at your pattern choice. not that it's too much of an issue with playability, they just seem really arbitrary to be honest. tzuicha-cha - there's this beautiful simplicity to this file that really speaks to me, but the freezes and the bursts break the illusion a bit. this is actually a case where it may have been helpful to strip back a little. still a super energetic file and one i'll be revisiting. uplift - didn't like this one much. patterns were completely arbitrary and awkward in spots, song was nothing special. quit out, sorry. v3 - really fast file, almost too fast for me to enjoy. can't deny that it's well-made, though wooly mammoth stomp - WOULD HAVE AAA'd this if I didn't peel my eyes from the computer for one second oh well. siiiick file, minimalist approach that feels surprisingly detailed and true-to-life. understated but powerful. apocynthion drive - file crashed on me for w/e reason lol. solid from what I played, though! I thought it'd be too hard for me but the patterns are quality bit howl - neat! not usually a fan of dev/null stuff, but this has a lot of variety. the quieter parts are overdone, though...there needs to be a reprieve from all of the intensity in this blue rose - 9.9999/10. a few minor gripes with polyrhythms/overintense bursts, but otherwise masterful bspower explosion - played Heavy because shit my hands are tired. simple chart but plenty to enjoy. i really like the main chorus. i do wish the polyrhythms were a bit cleaner (for that matter, a lot of the patterns) child protective services theme - played Heavy. it's a little repetitive (and has way too many freezes), but it's straightforward and provides a nice MA challenge. great patterns. cirnoRTHL - a little too high-octane for me but I can't deny it's well-made clash - just giving this file another shoutout because fuck it's good cyberstorm - much well-crafted than I expected. even if it's too hard for me to enjoy, props for that. those bursts are still ass, though dishevel - how to make a hard file 101. innovative and tricky patterns, great balance between playability and difficulty. nicely done. do it this way - maybe i'm just tired or maybe it really is the file, but this just exhausted me. it's a really nice song, but the steps are sooo flourishy that they barely have any room to breathe. i still enjoyed it to some degree, just not as much as i had anticipated. fatal tragedy - freeze usage is really messy in some parts, and the layers of the song don't always blend well together. that said, you handle the song's difficult sections with grace and the pattern choice is strong throughout. not a personal favorite, but a very sturdy file nonetheless. ge4ce v2 - way too hard for me to enjoy, refraining from judgment haereticus - really really dumpy, but to be fair so is the song. honestly, I did not enjoy this at all. jack-the-ripper - song offers plenty to express, and the steps capture the tension of the rhythms and the dissonance in the melody very well. if there's one thing I wish, it's that the freezes/mines had been expressed with some more elegance...the file can get a bit too crowded at times. nonetheless, this is my favorite file from Yosh in this pack. lockene - failed out. i'm not good enough to enjoy this. why are these so many of these ridiculously hard files in this pack, though? rip roar power - i failed but i still kind of...enjoyed it? whoa. gave a much needed jolt of energy to the system st. alphonso's pancake breakfast - this is a really great file, man. super groovy, great song, clean but challenging steps bridgeport run - really intense file but it's clear you put a lot of thought into this and the steps always match the song well. beautiful song, too. time out (piano solo) - um YES unconnected - usually files like these aren't my cup of tea but i ended up rather enjoying this. good patterns. waltz of the big dogs - really really hard but I still enjoyed it. really nice job bringing out all of the different layers to the piano. ending is absurdly hard but the climax works we are high speed - another mi40 file : D not as classic as some of your other work in this pack but still very very enjoyable. flows beautifully, i can tell a lot of thought went into these patterns. you really might be one of my favorite stepartists at this point why am i here - you are knocking it out of the park with your files this go around, Fission. this was phenomenal. snare hits layered in during guitar solos can get very messy (and did in this case), and there were a few mild inconsistencies with the percussive minifreezes, but otherwise this was flawlessly executed. i'm really excited to see where you go from here. zen - Mr. BOB! this is pretty great, really brutal file with some tricky patterns. maybe a bit too few jumps to justify all of those hands but that's more of the song than anything else, great to see you back.[/spoiler] empty skydiving - decent. jumpstream files like this one are a dime a dozen, and the pattern choice here never rises above passable, but the dubstep part still made me sit up in my chair a bit. you show promise, but I think you should practice thinking about detailed patterns that'll really bring out the song. and work on blending your 24ths/32nds, because that entire part was awkwaaaard. endlessstation - there has to be a better way to pattern those little 32nd minitrills. the really amazing thing about this is how light it feels, even though it's really tough. I think you've developed a very nice aesthetic and it shows in every file you make. gravestoned - I think the biggest word that came to mind with this file was "rigid". It's very well-made, no doubt, but style and flow are sacrificed for technical accuracy (always layering big hits as hands, having double freezes cluttering the file). The gimmicks were fine, though nothing outstanding. jordan - whoa, awesome file! freezes got a little crowded/long, but this was still great to hit. mirage garden - played Oni. good file, some parts are realllly uncomfortable to hit/look at but for some reason it still felt natural to me when i was hitting it. Heavy might be more my cup of tea, is it different? requien for a team - for such a heavy file, this is really, surprisingly graceful. the ending's a tad abrupt, but I find very little to complain about and a lot to praise. salieri strikes back - heavy: so many color notes, omg. great file, though! oni: virtually flawless. flow s0 g0od, color notes handled with great care, and climax is insane. synaptic plasticity - yes yes yes. impeccable file. so much fun. ultraviolent junglist - it takes a lot to keep somebody's interest for over five minutes, but damned if this isn't captivating throughout. exquisite file. karma-fied - i saved this for last. and for good reason. i am astounded at the level of creativity and detail and work you have poured into this file. in fact, i'm just going to shut up right now and go play it again. the fact that something like this exists is the reason why Stepmania will always be special.

Re: ODIPack3 Simfile Reviews
Arbitrary ratings, 7 or higher means that I liked the file. Will add more later.

Re: ODIPack3 Simfile Reviews
aegis: quit out of it 'cause it seemed like a bunch of boring jumpstream drivel that's just too hard for me right now 5/10
apocynthion drive: it seems like a seriously fucking fun file, but I can't play it at all. failed it hehe 8/10 asdfmovie6 song: pretty fun file 7/10 autoprocess: way too hard for me. I really don't agree with using triple-arrow jumps for the basskick but other than that it seems like a decent generic drum file 6/10 Bambous: really fun, excellent use of freezes. it feels like some of them are a bit redundant tho but whatever. 8/10 battle team derp: overenergetic file with a buncha gay minijack jumps I quit out of it 4/10 bit howl: lol what the fuck. super gay retarded minijacks and then a bunch of jumpstream. I quit immediately 1/10 blue rose: should've been a solo file imo and those minijacks are kinda gay but it's pretty fun. 7/10 bullshitpower explosion: a little overenergetic, too much jumpstream 5.5/10 captain murasas ass anchor: tried heavy, aside from the mines this chart almost looks like something I'd make hah. guessing oni is gay, not gonna try 8/10 chaotic white: the beginning is excellent, but the rest of the file isn't all that interesting. what are all those minijacks going to? 6/10 child protective services theme song: heavy difficulty. pretty nice freeze usage in this, I had fun. 8/10 chronos: nice freeze usage. some parts feel way too overenergetic. why the fuck not follow the awesome lead? you made the chart harder but less interesting as a result. it's still a pretty good chart but i am sad 7/10 (ps this song is really cool heh) cirnorhtl: lol. clash: ignoring since it's my own file. (but it's kinda unfocused and bad.) contact: never really saw the appeal for bursty files like these oh boy a glove file. trying oni. okay yeah that seems like a really good file but is not fun at all so let's try heavy. ok. crack in the hourglass: really good file. only complaint is the jumpstream at the end gets really tedious when you could've easily done something more interesting by following the lead. also definitely should've been a solo file. 8.5/10 cyberstorm: are you blurk? /10 demonish anima appearance: overstepped imo. too many minijacks, not enough emphasis on pitch relevant patterns, should've been a solo file. I love songs like this, but they're generally really hard to make into good charts. :I 5/10 winnipeg: i quit out almost immediately 2/10 disheveled (oh boy more flahsblub): you do some really interesting stuff here and there. only problem is this is another derpy bursty drum chart and they all end up being way too similar. 6/10 do it this way: wow, that's interesting! it's a little overdone though, you sacrifice playability over technicality way too much but it's still definitely a cool file... just wish I had more fun playing it. 8/10 don't say anything: should have been 6-key and is a little overdone. not a huge fan of all those jacks, though some definitely fit. 6/10 urfquake: holy fuck those minijacks are dumb as shit also overdone as hell 4/10 eater merry: was pretty good until you chose to follow the drums instead of the lead towards the end. you can make freeze sections like that really interesting really easily, and even if you're lazy enough to not put any effort I'd honestly rather hit single freezes than that tired amen break shit. 7/10 ech of forever: pretty cool chart, but some of the design choices you do still boggle my brain. could've been a bit better and is ever so slightly overstepped imo, but is definitely a good chart. 8/10 ehen doyadosu derp denpa shit: i quit out pretty damn quickly. take some of that energy you put into your charts and become a doctor. 1/10 empty skydiving: jumpstream into dubstep burst overdrive then tab+esc equals 3/10 endlessssssssssssssstation: the drum parts are alright 'cause of great patterns. rest of the file is way more interesting, although that calm part towards the end has the backing note freeze length all wrong which bugged me. 6/10 eos: rhythmically pretty interesting chart. honestly I liked this a lot more than I thought I would, and the song doesn't really give you all that much to work with. this is probably about as good as it gets. 7/10 store time, I'm out Last edited by StoneMcKnuckle; 05-28-2013 at 12:51 PM.. |

Re: ODIPack3 Simfile Reviews
damn i feel i did pretty well with a 6 from zagh haha. overall really happy with your guys feedback of autoprocess, I'll work on reduction of anchors (although they were at the climax of the song) and perhaps just try some more easy songs to present another side of me.

Re: ODIPack3 Simfile Reviews
reviews continuation:
fallen world: looks like a really fun and actually decently good dumpstream file but I can't play it at all. ?/10 far east night-turd: placing mines like a 64th distance from other notes is gay and those random-ass minijacks all over the place are dumb. otherwise drums with bursts/10 fashion queen: why aren't you following the bass when it's like the most interesting and prominent thing in the song? score reduced for that leaving you with a measly 9.5/10 best file in the pack so far gg fatal tragedy: you know we have solo mode for stuff like this right? 8/10 ffffffffffffff: guess you did what you could with the source material, but it's a pretty shitty chart. 4/10 five regrets: pretty interesting despite being really dumpstream-heavy somehow? i dunno. 7/10 ge4ce vfur v2: no way I can accurately judge this lmfao PAINSTEP/10 GO! GO! MANIAC: some of those jacks feel a little random and unnecessary so this would've been better as a solo file but gg second best file in the pack 9/10 gravestoned: another super overdone drum chart jesus christ do we seriously not have enough of these yet 1/10 guile of the rime king: apparently we don't. this is a lot better though and is the best drum file in the pack probably. seriously tho you have like triple jumps and crazy 16ths during the absolute calmest part of the song what the fuck 7/10 haereticus: not fun, piano part did not seem accurate at all then I quit 3/10 howling: first I was all yeah you're the third dude in this pack to know how to make 16th jumps fun and then you start forcing in the random minijacks for no reason what the hell. the later minijacks make sense tho and following the sampled voice is pretty amusing but the polyrhythms get a little too erratic and retarded for me. 5.5/10 i like trains: 8/10. this is one of the few files in the pack without any retarded shit put in just to make it arbitrarily harder for no reason other than to make it harder. nothing particularly special, but nothing bad about it either. good file. i'll continue later maybe i don't like this game very much heh Last edited by StoneMcKnuckle; 05-28-2013 at 12:52 PM.. |

Re: ODIPack3 Simfile Reviews
Zagh it looks like you might not have much of a taste for the general difficulty of a lot of files these days. However, I and several others made easier difficulties as well, so why not try those? They're made for a reason you know.

Re: ODIPack3 Simfile Reviews
not all files with minijacks were downrated because of minijacks. putting them in everywhere for no real reason is pretty weird and is almost exclusively done to increase the difficulty of the file for no good reason. it makes the files worse imo. this is what me and blurk used to call "index syndrome" where you'd minijack into a jump to make it easier for index players but it felt weird as hell to play and was generally never a good idea.
but yeah a lot of stupidly hard files probably got a bit worse scores from me 'cause I had no fun 'cause I was failing l0l. tho I did give apocynthion drive an 8 even though I failed so I dunno. either way these are just personal opinions, there's no LAW OF THE STEPS that simfiles have to follow even though some people seem to think so.

Re: ODIPack3 Simfile Reviews
Try the easier difficulty for Howling. Tell me if it's any better or worse. I'm told by a lot of people that making easier difficulties along with harder ones makes the pack more accessible. If people complain about the harder difficulties and not play the easier ones, why am I bothering? :/
