community run-games have all their songs, skins, and whatnot made by the community, a good example is osu! and another good example is stepmania, which is so community run that the main builds of the game aren't updated anymore so it's recommended you play on community builds

Also, I was half-kidding, since I know beat saber seems to be mainly fueled by custom songs
Seriel
Yeep theres a few piles of official songs (Some of which cost money) and then a massive ton of community songs of varying degrees of quality
Julie_Pilgrim
what moron pays for songs in a game with custom songs
Seriel
people who are large fans of the licensed artists and want to indirectly support them
Julie_Pilgrim
I mean, the paid song packs seem to come from big artists(linkin park, panic at the disco, and fucking bts)
Julie_Pilgrim
Wait, no, there seems to be a few from non-huge artists
Julie_Pilgrim
and by a few, I mean 2 from monstercat, which is a record label that seems to pay artists pretty decently, although, they have a bandcamp, so if you really wanted to support the artists, buying music from there would make more sense
Seriel
often the official songs don't have custom variants. also the official songs have higher quality layouts and etc.
if i liked an artist and liked beat saber (i do) I would definitely be interested in buying one of them

I mean, once you start playing rtyhmn games long enough, you stop caring about the songs or maybe that's just me, cause at this point, I would play this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sC0cvwnG0Ik if it had a good beatmap/simfile/*insert term for rythmn game I don't play*. And, if there are more fun maps available for free, why bother?
Julie_Pilgrim
although, I do have limits when it comes to the songs I'll play, like I refuse to play any pop(that is literally my only limit lmao)

Well I mean...
There’s a difference between playing a music game for the music-
And playing it for the gameplay.
Once I learned to play beat saber for the music, it became one of my favorite games

Huh, for me personally, osu! and other rythmn games became much better when I went "you know what? Fuck music" and starting looking for fun maps/simfiles instead of looking for maps/simfiles of songs I like
Seriel
I cant listen to music as the only thing I'm doing, it doesnt work.
When I play beat saber with a track I recognise or like, it feels like I'm a part of the music. My body and soul link to it, I understand things about the music I never would have expected.

I guess it's different in vr

I think with a normal rhythm game you're just pressing buttons on command. Sure with beat saber you're waving your arms on command but that physical connection makes it more real.
I don't care about score, I just listen and enjoy myself. It's thereputic
