Really disappointed

[drunk cig]

JSR is my favorite game. JSRF idgaf about but it's still not bad imo.

BRCF doesn't have the same child-like charm of the OGs and I miss it a lot. I don't like how aggro the characters are. The tone is a major miss for me. The more "adult" aspects aren't pulled off well enough to justify them. It's a misguided attempt to be cool I guess? Maybe I'm the loser for not liking it. They copied more from JSRF than JSR I guess.

The music also kinda sucks. The first two songs you have to listen to on repeat are "ass ass ass ass" and "operate op- operate" ad nauseum. I've listened to the ost and I like most of it...but the lyrics are pretty much...not good. The repetition is just painful. IDK how this slipped through the cracks but it's way worse than anything JSR had.

If there was nothing else to play this season, if this had come out a few months ago and let me ban songs, I would probably keep playing it.

Just bummed they missed on things that mattered a lot to me. I hope people enjoying this go back to the old ones, especially JSR.

TLDR I'm returning it and playing JSR again.

I wonder how this could possibly be.

If it ain't Professor K, it really ain't nothin'.

BRCFlunk is too fogazy. All corporate beat, no funkin' street. Too much $$$ for too little content. I refunded after I felt like I was a playing a demo - big empty area, lots of NPC recycle, object pop-ins on max settings, clouds don't move.

I like the idea of fighting back, but the combat in BRCF is so tacked-on feeling, and plays worse (in my opinion) than a PS1 game. And I, personally, am not a fan of the tagging system - I like being able to mess up, and perfect it so I doesn't mess up.

Here it's jus "we'll pause the gameplay around you and wiggle thumbstick to be done, maybe wiggle thumbstuck certain ways to be done slightly differently". I didn't know graffiti came with gutter-rails, like bowling.

God, and "Ass...ass...ass...ass...ass...ass".

JSR has it beat, for me, in terms of dollars to content - and I originally beat it on the Dreamcast when I was 10.

I'll buy this again at some point, no doubt (especially since there's a Beat mod even if it's Future design).

But it will be on steep discount.

Oh no!

A better design.

[ONE MILLION EXPLODING SUNS]

To be clear, all the tracks I listed I've played to death since Future dropped. I use to keep my Xbox on while I slept at the top of my bunk bed just to keep Futures radio feature going through the night. Just kinda astonishing one of your gripes is that some songs are too repetitive. Electronic music is all about repetition, Jet Set fully embraces obnoxious (to some) repetition

I absolutely love JSRF and JSR but while this game is inspired by JSR(F), it isn't a sequel to those games. It's BRC. If you want another JSR game, ask Sega.

The nostalgia factor is kicking in strongly for folks saying this game doesn't live up to JSR(F), particularly with respect to music. JSRF had some absolutely awful songs (anyone remember Birthday Cake?); Funk Express in BRC is IMO better than anything in the JSRF ost and that's a statement I don't make likely because JSRF has one of the best OST's ever compiled. I've replayed JSRF many times and the soundtrack is so intertwined with memories as a kid that it gives the game a lot of charm but try to approach it neutrally and you realize... some of those songs are NOT good. "Like this, like that, like this this like that I LIKE IT I LIKE IT", would you EVER listen to this song if it weren't in JSRF? Absolutely not. It's 100% attachment to the memories the song brings.
Now, don't even get me started with JSR because that game's mechanics aged like milk. I can't think of a single thing it does better than JSRF (maybe more lighthearted?). It's essentially an elongated arcade game; it in no way compares to the scope of JSRF or BRC.

Expecting BRC to be a JSRF sequel is just silly. Y'all want a game so heavily cloned from JSRF that Sega sues? Y'all want DJ Professor K to save the day from DJ Cyber? Beat to make a cameo? Ridiculous.

Birthday Cake is a good song and doesn't come anywhere close to being as irritatingly repetitive as half the songs in this game. Birthday Cake at least makes me laugh.

Yes? It's a good song. It, also, is not nearly as mind-numbingly aggressive and irritating as a lot of the songs in this game.

It's essentially an elongated arcade game; it in no way compares to the scope of JSRF or BRC.

It being an elongated arcade game is honestly preferable to being an aimless collectathon where the same five songs play ad nauseam as you're methodically cleaning up tag points. The issues with JSR are that it controls like ass and isn't as visually appealing as JSRF.

Expecting BRC to be a JSRF sequel is just silly.

They were absolutely positioning the game to fill that role and you cannot blame people for having the expectation. No one was expecting JSRF characters to appear, people just want it to match/exceed the quality of JSRF.

NO! WRONG! Birthday Cake is horrible and the worst song in JSR. It's essentially just an ear-piercing woman screaming at the top of her lungs.

You aren't going to convince me.

Wow the nostalgia goggles strong with this lot huh.

They were talking about a real life radio.

Liked this game...didn't love it. Cycling through the same 3-4 tricks got really boring really quick. Outside of some of the bigger end of level battles, I don't understand what purpose the cops serve other than to break the flow of the game and what makes it fun - you literally just walk into a portajohn and boom...no cops. Really short - right about the time I was getting into it the game ended. Not much post game other than trying to collect the stuff you missed the first go around. Still a LOT to like though. Great soundtrack, really tight gameplay, and just a good cozy vibe all around...just wish there was a little more there. I loved JSR and JSRF growing up and I just don't think you can really capture lightning in a bottle like that again no matter how hard you try. Definitely worth picking up and playing on sale imo.

It's fine, I've felt the same way since release, and I still don't like it, and I will probably never play it again. It's a boring game.
