Re: What's your opinion on the game?
If I didn't like it, I wouldn't still be playing almost 15 years after I first discovered it. I've been introduced to so many great bands, songs, and people through this game and even after all these years, I'm getting scores I never dreamed possible.
Yeah, it's aight. |

Re: What's your opinion on the game?
I mean. You tell me.
This game was what got me back to rhythm gaming after a decent break from taking them serious. Sure I played stuff in the meantime but FFR brought me back. Everyone here is great, The charts are super good and are some of the best in 4k in some cases imo. I don't think I'm going to leave FFR anytime soon despite many times wanting to for things that have now since passed.

Re: What's your opinion on the game?
Even though I am a HUGE Etterna die-hard fanboy, I love FFR. I can go on and on all day about how Etterna is one of the best rhythm games, FFR was one of the first VSRG's I played back in late 2019 when I was in 6th grade, this was a year before Flash shut down so I played using the browser engine lmao. I forgot that FFR was a thing until July this year when I rediscovered it and made an account
Even though I love FFR to death, it ain't perfect AT ALL. Just to name all of the negatives I noticed since rediscovering FFR - Major Frame-rate issues - the boo system yeah the boo system plz abolish the boo system yes please and thank you - There isn't that much content for high level players in their skill level (100+) - The exact Timing Metrics are still unknown. - Lack of Dump or Chordjack maps - No ability to change to tighter timing windows.... in a game based on accuracy - No in-game error bar - Lack of support from top-players - Game is so deep-rooted in flash that fixing these issues is nearly Impossible with the small dev team Im probably a bit spoiled from other games, but there is A TON of positives: - Easier to pick up than Etterna - 0 downloads, only download is the engine itself - Great noteskin variety (Delta White FTW) - Great customization - Tight knit community - Decent scoring system - Fun tournaments The positives to FFR outweigh the negatives imo Overall an 8.5/10. I will continue to enjoy and play FFR for years to come

Re: What's your opinion on the game?
Super fantastic community; easily the best of any VSRG, or Rhythm game, or potentially game in general I've ever played.
Some of the best files/charts I've played and the most fun. Amazing ranking system. Awesome tournaments, and there's a lot of flexibility with your online presence because of the forums. The game also really heavily rewards players of all different kinds of playstyles and there's a lot of sort of "cosmetic" or "accomplishment" goals to go for which very few other rhythm games have (but should have.) IE, credit system is awesome, AAA/FC trackers, etc. The cons are: The UI is fairly dated; File pool is a bit low (understandable given the written permission rule); Noteskins aren't as customizable as they could be, And the game seems to have some minor stability issues. Overall, the engine leaves a bit to be desired but the community and the way the game embraces the community/the way the game ties into the FFR website make it stellar |

Re: What's your opinion on the game?
I personally like using this game to de-stress. It feels great just smashing keys on the keyboard when you're tired and stressed and just need some avenue to release that.
Younger me enjoyed the competitive aspects of trying to get the best scores and getting as many AAAs as possible, but I'm slowly growing out of that. I play this game way too much and I can see myself losing interest in the near future. Overall, it's alright.

Anyways serious time. FFR 2 / 10 Wait... that's not right either. FFR for what it is, is a solid game that despite the issues with how it can run, has solid content, and a staff that genuinely gives a shit, even if it's misguided at times, or poured into obsolete nonsense. My issues are mostly community-related, but I think the current shorter files leave a fair bit to be desired, and some files I'd have out-right rejected for being boring. I think FFR's got probably the best ranking system in all the games in like, FFR, Etterna, Sound Voltex, category. But it's clogged with things like Tier Points, and the reward systems frankly have some cleaning up left to be done, if you asked me personally. I equally think despite some personal choices, FFR has either the most solid, or second most solid base of files to play, and learn the game off of, and the accessibility to content that's easy to learn to play on is not to be understated or forgotten. There's also so many damned resources here for everyone, and it's a perfect gateway to other games if you wanted that. FFR's still a solid 7 / 10. I'd probably put Etterna at 8.5 / 10. I'd pull a katanaey with osu. Everyone who like, went into this part probably thought I'd be a lot more negative, but despite everything, I literally grew up on this site, and I've got some nostalgia in the tank for it. Not to mention like I said. The staff gives a shit. They do good work. |

Re: What's your opinion on the game?
games good. has several glaring flaws that probably don't need to be re-explained for the millionth time, but it has successfully carved out and maintained a niche in the VSRG genre that no other game could really hope to match.

It is based on a weighted average of your top 15 scores' AAA equivalency. Check out your dashboard to see how that is all calculated out. Your top 5 ends up being about 75% of the total weighting of this

Thats a spicy take and doesn't do the matter Justice ToonE.

Weighted average of your top 15 scores. Thats it, theres literally no nuance to it beyond that. Hence why, as stated before, its not the only factor that decides which division you are placed in for tournaments. |

Re: What's your opinion on the game?
A mostly meaningless ranking system which essentially boils down to a minigame these days. Why should you care? I dunno thats kinda up to you- theres no real reason to care about any of the rankings aside from watching numbers change over time. The game is what you make of it and participation in each various leaderboard or tournament is optional. Do what you want to do.

It was a way to evaluate skill against each other when people had different skillsets, so you couldn't just go by "best AAA" and "best FC" which was largely how lower divisions were sorted before Skill Rating existed. That's it. A system that was necessary years ago, has been broadly replaced by Skill Rating, but why remove it just because it's not used as a primary ranking metric anymore? It's another goal for people to work towards if they want to. |
