RFpack Released!

Re: RFpack Released!

only played a few files so far, mostly good

[Rebirth0]

Re: RFpack Released!

Feels strange to review my own pack but here I go. Note that I will almost never give a 10/10 to any simfile


And Then We Kiss: 5.5/10

Really only kept this in the pack in hopes that people wouldn't bitch about so many hard files

Atmos Break: 8/10

Pretty fun

belladonna: 9/10

It was really fun imo but I didn't like the minijacks (even though they do go to the music). One of my favorites in the pack

BF2014: 9/10

I can't believe we accepted a sharpnel simfile but this was holy **** fun

Border of Maximum: 8/10

Pretty fun, maybe a little bland but I don't know. I don't like to rate my own files

Brain Storm: 8/10

Such a weird simfile, but I like it

Comfort Betrays: 8.5/10

I thought it was pretty damn fun despite being a little repetitive

Demons Carnival: 9/10

The solo version is better but this was really nicely converted

Dick Jazz: 9.5/10

pitch relevancy layering etc. Probably the most accurately stepped file in the pack

Enigma: 8.5/10

I liked it. The ending 30 seconds are a bitch though

envelope: 9.5/10

I ****ing love this file. It might seem a little overlayered with the calm style onoken does but it was really fun. Might be my pack favorite

Faith is for the Transient People: 7.5/10

It was ok.

Flowtation: 6.5/10 for fun, 9/10 for simfile accuracy

I put this into the pack at the very last minute because exige submitted it at the last minute. I remember being told its supposed to resemble the IIDX chart for the song

Gekkou: 8/10

Simple I guess. I thought it came out pretty fun (I honestly thought it'd suck when I first finished it)

Go Beyond: 8/10

Crazy file. I don't really like the hands but thats because I suck at them. Otherwise this file is cool

Hunter's Etude: 9/10

I really only played this once so far, but it seems pretty damn good from what I saw. Yay for someone else thats able to sync piano music

Hyper Exige: 7/10

Another one of those files I kept in here in hopes of that nobody would bitch about too many hard files

Inscrutable Battle: 7.5/10

I thought it was alright. Couple fun spots, couple dull spots

Jungle: 8/10

Song is really cool, but I didn't like parts of the steps. Overall its still pretty nice

Kamaitaichi: 7.5/10

don't know what to say for this file

Kaze no Shi: 8/10

8/10 because I enjoyed the rhythms even though they were repetitive

kicks!: 9/10

pretty nicely stepped but lol at the simple freeze part in the first half of the file

Maid's Pocket Watch of Blood: 10/10

I didn't like some of the 24th triplets in between the jumps on the 4ths and stuff but thats just because I suck at this game. It was an extremely nice file and stepped just about perfectly

Mellann: 8.5/10

Kinda simple xmod file. I like it

Memories: 8/10

wapanese backstreet boys etc. Reminds me of Love Fighter from back in the days of Keyboard Collaboration 3

Nanairopanda: 9/10

Thought it was really fun most of the time. Might be a few spots that suck, I don't know. I stepped it because I found tons of errors in stargroup's version in FFR

Not Again: 9.5/10

I'm not too big of a fan of these guitar solo sims but it was really nicely stepped, as are all of glove's guitar/metal sims

Piano Forte: 9.5/10

It was really fun despite being jimerax's first SM file in like 2 years or something

Poodle: 8.5/10

I liked the simplicity of this file and how it managed to keep my attention the whole way through.

Red Lucifer Rising: 10/10

It probably is Dew's best file to date. Its hard, but its awesome

Rescue!: 9/10

I had recently gone through a night where I randomly watched all 3 Pirates of the Caribbean movies in a day for some reason, so I was really liking how this was a pirate song thing rofl. Very nicely stepped

Rock'n Rocks: 10/10

Just about perfect for this song. The ending is awesome

Scarlet in the Dream: 10/10

Just awesome. lol beginner steps but they're actually cool too

Second Heaven: 8.5/10

I've always liked this file

Setsujou! Hyakka Ryouran!: 8.5/10

Originally started stepping this for SMGpack 2 but I never finished because I took a break from SM that year. I was going for the first SMGpack to have the first OP of the anime, and the second pack to have the second OP (this is the second OP). It didn't happen, so its in this pack. Pretty fun file I guess. I like a lot of it

Tribe Attacker: 8/10

Another sim we accepted in the last days of the pack. Necros made it into a pretty nice sim

U.N.O.N: 9.5/10

Its really hard and may be repetitive but I thought it was really fun. Awesome simfile. I've had it for like a year lmao



Overall rating for the pack: 8.25/10

Re: RFpack Released!

I'm fairly sure this is Torrent, but I could be wrong.

yes he just gets banned every second day on ffr lol

[jimerax]

Re: RFpack Released!

no idea how many accounts he has made on FFR

[Necros140606]

Re: RFpack Released!

for serious though, iì've seen at least 10 of them, and i do not lurk here that much. impressive.

[stargroup100]

Re: RFpack Released!

Nanairopanda: 9/10

Thought it was really fun most of the time. Might be a few spots that suck, I don't know. I stepped it because I found tons of errors in stargroup's version in FFR

For the record, there aren't a lot of errors at all, and they're only ridiculously minor sync issues anyways. And yeah, your version is fun, but there are a few places that are really bad. The sync at the end was ridiculous lmao.

EDIT: Yeah the sync is really good. I don't see why you're complaining about the flow though, you loved the file before.

[Rebirth0]

Re: RFpack Released!

stop defending it lmao. If you've got 24ths and crap down and they aren't supposed to be there they're errors. The 24ths might go to the music, I don't know, but they're errors because it makes the file flow like crap


and u btr meen gud by ridiculous ending

edit 4 stargroup: I liked it until I played it for the 3rd or 4th time. Then I really noticed crap

[.david]

Re: RFpack Released!

Man, this pack is so sick. My favourites are atmos break and BF2014. These two files are awesome, the rest of the pack is sweet from what i've played. Im gonna go finish playing it now.

[PsYcHoZeRoSk8eR]

Re: RFpack Released!

Got it yesterday. This was pretty good. I played every song once, straight through on the plane ride back to Chicago. I'll post more later.

[macgravel]

Re: RFpack Released!

[6/5]
Mellann //macgravel
I nearly shat myself when the negative BPM section occurred. Mac has to be one of my favourite stepartists, and this file didn't let me down.

Haha, glad you liked the file

[cetaka]

Re: RFpack Released!

so apparently my sharpnel file is either a hit or miss

there's like no in between at all

i don't feel either way lol, it's just another MA file :P

Re: RFpack Released!

I downloaded the pack. Better than some of the ODI ones I've played but I guess I need to realize that The Era of the "occasional" Hand is gone now.

Dew knows what I'm about to say, because I'm sure he hates me after I stepped into that SMO game that one time shortly after one of the packs were released.

I don't know, Enigma I loved that was fun through and through, but then you have certain songs in which this "layering" completely takes over the file. I mean, come on. When the entire file is plagued with things that are "Proficient" to the music it just kinda destroys the possible fun of the file. Enigma Sped up at the end, but thats where the difficulty came in. Nothign was over done the Music was pretty good and I didn't have to slam hands for sixteen consecuitive hits to have a shot at a full combo.

Before I continue however, I will say this. All of what I say isn't based on my performance on any given song. I can do the vast majority of these songs with relative ease, but I don't enjoy them as much as I used to enjoy something like "Love Fighter" Zanthro's old song (By no means do I mean all AAAs, I mean a comfortable mix of AAs and AAAs). That to me was one of the greatest simfiles ever made (Along with a ton of Toph Files).

Comparing that file with nowadays layering standpoint, I mean, if I 'm going to be that proficient to hit a key, I might as well learn to play the damn instrument. Not to mention the fact that the remainder of FFR has forsaken the index player nearly completely (Other than the flash game).

The pack is great, its synced well all that, but there aren't as many files that I consider fun. I still like certain artists, MacGravel (If I spelled it right, Seraph, Some of DJ Ossas stuff (Though thats starting to turn up in the "Layered beyond all hell" era and Rebirth, I love your old stuff (Angelus was yours right?) There are definitely songs I'd play again here, but when I look at it, some of them are just WAY too difficult for their own good.

Thats all.

Edit:
<3 Atmos Breaks
Faith is for Transient People (or whatever the hell the direct trans is) isn't bad either. Little double heavy,but I suppose its better than 4billion hands.

[moches]

Re: RFpack Released!

bump.

[Yesssss]

Re: RFpack Released!

post

It's because players nowadays are so good, that unless you do heavy layering, the files are really boringly easy. Not only that, but some people have complained how easy this pack is. Why not step faster music? Because it's really really hard to find some interesting fast music.

Also keyboard index files have been abandoned because they are really constricting when trying to follow the music, and most difficult pad files would fit in that category.

Plus I'm surprised at the number of people who like Atmos Break. That file has so many blatant errors and inconsistencies that it doesn't even feel like it goes to the music at all. It just feels like I'm hitting arrows with a song in the background.
