I have a few things to respond to on this, and I'll try to format it better for you all, as some people brought up that I didn't format my initial post. I apologize for that, but I was very frustrated that day for more reasons than just Osu. (Keep in mind though, I'll be quoting even though I've never done so before, I apologize again if it ends up looking poor).
If it isn't, however, then think about it this way: Bringing up points about something that you dislike can cause other people to share positive or negative feedback, as well as offer criticism. In this case, while there were a lot of people who felt the need to personally insult me for disliking what they like, I've also been told that, apparently, hard maps are better than the easier ones, due to more creative freedom (not exact quote, forgive me). Because of this, I may go back, try these maps, and possibly see "Oh hey, these are way better, maybe I can enjoy myself more."
I'd still have a problem with the normal and easy maps, as I don't think they're generally well made, but if it's indeed the case, then I'd have less to complain about. And without people telling me about this, I'd just have assumed that the rest of the game is the *exact* same. (though I have tried a couple of hard maps, and there were one or two that I thought weren't put together very well. Still need to try more.)
And the second thing is that I wasn't strictly saying that the game is bad, more that I just dislike it, and I gave the reasons why. As I said before, I was particularly frustrated that day, so I probably didn't convey that very well, but assuming everything worked (which like I said, it could be that it just doesn't work on my end for whatever reason), I'd still have a few problems with it, but I wouldn't think that it's a bad game. I *don't* think that it's a bad game, I just don't personally like it due to the problems I've encountered.
Hopefully this helps people understand my position a bit more, maybe it won't, I dunno. I hope that it at least looks better than my initial post, I tried so hard this time around ;-;
Again, I apologize for the initial wall of text. Frustrated, y'know.
P.S. There's no need to personally attack me guys. I'm sure with how you all probably view me, this'll be entirely hypocritical, but nontheless, personal attacks are pointless and immature.
I agree that there should be challenge, that was my point. I was saying that turning off the option to fail ruins the purpose of the game. I was simply saying that I don't like the constant drain. I even said that it's not as prevalent a problem as the rest of the things I mentioned.KukiMonster wrote:
@OP Games are fundamentally designed to challenge. osu! with no drain, no chance of mistakes, no 100s or 50s would not be a challenge, and therefore would not be a game. Have a sense of sportsmanship.
Incorrect, there are very good reasons as to why I bring up why I dislike the game. The primary reason, which nobody seems to understand, is that this was directly in response to someone who specifically told me to share why I didn't like the game. That should be reason enough.alienflybot wrote:
then don't play
no point arguing why you don't like

This is the last thing I wanted to touch on. My problem with sliders may very well be due to my game alone, but even if I try to do the *exact same slider* on two different occasions, by doing it the same way as always, sometimes it'll work, and sometimes it won't. While in some of the harder songs, some of it is of course my fault, I'm not going to say that it isn't buggy at times, at least on my end.Riince wrote:
ive played a lot and i agree sliders are shit 99% of the time. i wish maps had more circles nowadays. sliders are just this silly thing you can be lazy on movement and tapping accuracy on and still not get a 100/miss... and every map has like 2 sliders to every circle now wtf...
Ironically I hate sliders for a reason that's completely opposite to the original posters, but i disregarded most of his post because it was just the rantings of someone who hasn't even learned the basics yet and is far from qualified to say it's bad...

If you really want to quit, then uninstall the game, block this website, completely wipe your hard drive of every last trace of osu, and ask the CIA to block your memory of anything osu from ever reaching your subconscious.
