OSU, A weeaboo Nippon rhythm game created by a Australian white guy
is shit. And let me explain why.
OSU is, if not the worst game I have ever played, it's certainly the worst rhythm game I have played. I am a huge fan of music. I absolutely love music. I consume so many types of music. I've also played many rhythm games. Let me just put this out here, my favorite games are Audiosurf. Audiosurf is amazing and I have put hundreds of hours in the first game. Not so much in the second game, but I plan to play it much more. Audiosurf makes it fun just to put in a song and go. I can make a whole other blog post about this. Let me also put this out here. My favorite genre of music is Rock. As I see it, that is the catagory most neglected by the OSU community. Let me show you
Ween (Alt Rock Group, Still Doing Music) - Est. 426 Songs - Only 2 Beatmaps (NO Qualified Beatmaps)
Electric Light Orchestra - (Rock Group 70s-Now) - Est. Over 700 Songs - 4 Beatmaps (NO Qualified Beatmaps)
Leonard Cohen (60s Gospel/Blues Singer) - Est. 300 Songs - NO Beatmaps
Frank Zappa (70s Musician) - Est. Over 2,000 Songs - NO Beatmaps
The Alan Parsons Project (70s Prog Rock Group) - Est. Over 300 Songs - No Beatmaps
Hell, let's take a more known person. A LEGEND in the music industry. One of the best selling musicians ever. Johnny Cash. With Over 2,000 Songs, he's gotta have SOME beatmaps right?
3
He has all of 3 beatmaps.
I know, OSU weebs are going to come and say "ohhh but it's all made by the community why don't you contribute and make the beatmaps"
And they are right. It's all via the community. Why DON'T I make the ones I want?
3 things.
Beatmap making absolutely sucks.
My Beatmap doesn't mean anything if it doesn't get qualified.
I play rhythm games to relax, and not press out beatmaps like a machine.
Maybe the community is just full of children, or people that just really like their anime picture adderall induced 500000BPM Electronic seizure music.
Or maybe, OSU just isn't for me. I don't even play that well. I'll stick to my procedural generated rhythm games.
