Jesus that’s patethic, out of all the music they could have picked...I’ll be skipping this one as well.

That's an abomination! Imagine Dragons FFS :rolleyes:

JimBurnley · 10-06-2019 8:26pm

Ah ffs. Wasted opportunity

Graham_B18C · 10-06-2019 8:38pm

I bought it the second I saw there was new songs, convenient I also like Imagine Dragons though. I'm just happy to have new levels

mrcheez · 10-06-2019 8:43pm

*me frantically googles Imagine Dragons*

Ah now I remember why I don't listen to new music.

Potential-Monke · 11-06-2019 12:46pm

Yeah, yesterdays announcement of a 10 song Imagine Dragons pack just took all enthusiasm out of it for me. Notice how all the ads for it have the same song, ie: the only song that most people would recognise. I had to listen to the rest on YouTube to see what they were like. Slow dry moany bitch bollocks is all it is. Bitterly disappointed in it. Won't be buying them, even if they have the best block/level layouts I can't bring myself to listen to it. I know they're trying to reach a bigger audience, but this was a terrible choice. Maybe a chart song pack with Imagine Dragons leading the charge, but no, 10 songs from the same crap band. Just a crap end to a crap weekend really.

This is where I get jealous of the PC crowd, having the custom songs to play. Unfortunately on PSVR we've another few months to wait and hope that it's actually something with a Beat in it.

So just finished another session, and they've changed quite a few of the original songs on E+. Country roads has gotten harder. Can still beat it, but I was getting S rank and now getting A. Noticed the same with Rum and Base, definitely more technical. The extras and Monstercat pack haven't changed though.

SomeSayKos · 19-06-2019 1:26pm

I've noticed some issues since the update. Some hits are missing, and my 'sabers' act funny periodically, like they'll kinda jump a bit and it'll cause me to miss hits. A bit annoying. Didn't notice it before the recent update

I tried Angel Voices on Normal last night, it is definitely an extended version of the one that's been there - there is nearly 2 mins of wall to wall drums at the end of it now!

Noticed this too and it's put me off playing until they fix it. I'm definitely connecting with blocks but the game just seems to decide nope for no reason at all. Really ruins the concentration when it happens, I've stopped 3 songs in the middle of playing and quit because its screwing me out of the combo.

Potential-Monke · 19-06-2019 2:34pm

I still can't beat Angel Voices on E+... the end always got me. Will try it again later to see if it's any different! That and Overkill are the only 2 I can't finish on E+ now.

So you reckon it's longer now? There was always quite a bit of drums at the end. It's always been about 6 mins long (longest song in the game I think), I doubt they would change it.

I've been meaning to go back to it since the update. You can now get 115 per block instead of 110. 1 million on expert Angel voices is my next goal, was only a thousand off with the old system.

It’s definitely an extended version/remix of it - I played it on expert loads of times and was curious when I saw the other difficulty options available for it. It’s gets to the “normal” end of the track as it was, then goes off in to this non stop section of drums - totally caught me by surprise!

Potential-Monke · 19-06-2019 5:42pm

Is the part in this video after 5.58?

SomeSayKos · 20-06-2019 12:27am

i just played it there and its the same length it always was

Potential-Monke · 20-06-2019 11:36am

Had a go last night too and felt it was the same. Still couldn't beat it...

I'm close ( yet so far away ) to the end

Potential-Monke · 20-06-2019 12:01pm

I can keep up with until the mad drummy bit at the end. The patterns just are not clicking with me. Even tried it on 80% speed and still failed!

Can finished a good few on E+ with Faster Song too. Jesus the sweat that comes out of me though, especially with This Time. Love that song. Possibly my favourite to play.

I did this for the first time last night. I managed to do the Popstars song, Rum N Bass and Elixia. Had to stop though coz I was drenched in sweat after!

Potential-Monke · 12-07-2019 12:43pm

While we wait for the next PSVR pack, because I still refuse to buy the Imagine Dragons pack, I was googling and there's nothing like the internet to remind yourself that you're not actually that good at the game. Granted, I believe he has No Fail on, but 72.58% on this is seriously impressive. My eyes cannot keep up with it, but still looks more enjoyable than playing ID...

[Beat Saber] Ghost - Camellia (Expert+++++ Version) | 72.58% A - Link in case the video doesn't load.

JimBurnley · 25-07-2019 8:06pm

3 new tracks released today by Camellia. Not sure what a Camellia is, but they're free at least

Potential-Monke · 25-07-2019 8:57pm

I was only thinking this thread took a death when the ID pack was released, so happy to hear there's some free stuff to keep us going. If anyone is interested, the songs are all by Camellia and are:

Crystallized - Melodic noise, more dubsteppy dancey.
Kasai Hardcores - Cycle Hit - Official BS video of the track, hard to explain, looks absolutely crazy on E+!
WHAT THE CAT!? - Think this could be up there with Rattlesnake as just noise

But they're free, and there's no moaney bitches singing at me, so I'll definitely be playing them! Will report back tomorrow.

mrcheez · 25-07-2019 9:04pm

I thought the thread died when everyone got arthritis in their shoulders!

Potential-Monke · 25-07-2019 11:30pm

Well if the songs to till now didn't break something, these ones definitely will!

Crystallized is pretty good. Expert is pretty hard, harder than some songs on E+ in parts. The E+ version of this is ridiculous hard. Arms gave up after 90 seconds or so, it's just constant up and down in crazy patterns.

Cycle Hits is a banging tune. Very euro dance and some dubsteppy parts. Expert is as joy to play and also quite difficult in places, but easier patterns. Definitely my favourite of the 3, easily. Expert I laughed at after 20 seconds, looks impossible, but will be the one I tackle first, if my arms are up for it.

Cats one is pants. As bad as Rattlesnake. Couldn't even allow myself to finish it on Expert and didn't even look at E+.

All in all, they've ramped the difficulty on E/+ massively. Feels like the E are standard E+ and the new ones on E+ feel like E++. I'd wager they're harder than Overkill. Also funny that 2 of these 3 free songs are better than 10 paid ID songs.

As long as Jaroslav does the good deeds and gives us another 10 decent to cracking tunes, Beat Saber will start to get more popular again.

Potential-Monke · 26-07-2019 11:47am

Ah here, someone has already got SS on Expert+ on Crystalized...

I broke and bought two imagine dragon songs. Crap songs but fun to play.... I'm ashamed of myself

Potential-Monke · 26-07-2019 12:15pm

At least you've admitted it, that's the first step. I have heard the mapping is really good in them, but like Rattlesnake it's music I just don't like so I can't bring myself to spend money on them. At least Rattlesnake was the only bad song out of 10. With ID they're all bad imo.

yup. pure ear piss

Potential-Monke · 26-07-2019 1:48pm

I'm listening to Cycle Hit while I'm at work to get my head around it, so it should be easier to play then. Looking at the E+ video Beat Saber have put out, it seems manageable, but a lot of patterns to learn in a 5 minute song will make this hard. Think I need to get onto a personal trailer to build up my arm strength and stamina! This game will make me healthy, as long as the choons keep coming!

I would still sell a nut to get early 90s dance onto this, Played Alive, Kernkraft 400, Sandstorm, etc. I'd say they'd be brilliant!

The Specialist · 27-07-2019 11:52pm

Crystallized is a ****in banger, have it saved to my Spotify already
