Official Imagine Dragons maps, or fan-made maps?

[TrickTrigger]

Which is the better, exactly?

[ThickThighTerrance]

This expansion feels wayy more official than monstercat, new map and great lighting. When it comes to the mapping, I've played through all of the official maps(expert+ only) and the mapping is very satisfying... when you "get" it. I get why someone would dislike it, if they want expert+ to be hard with more notes, or if you want the same "feeling" for each mapping, copying the same combination to the beat of all the different songs. In the official maps however all the mappings feel different and at several points I was impressed with how mappings broke the usual cycle of up-down-up-down while having it fit so well to the music.

I got through the official maps first try, though faster song and disappearing notes was a bit much, so if you are used to the official mapping I'd say go for them. However if you are not, and don't want to play through on slower speeds first and learn, then it might not be the right choice.

I also dont listen to Imagine Dragons so I might not be the right person to know what feels best :P

My enjoyment of Beat Saber is heavily dependent on the quality of the maps. There are plenty of garbage custom maps out there that give me zero enjoyment to play. They're free, but they might not be fun.

Now, I'm not saying that the community made versions of these songs are bad, but I'm saying that them being free only matters if they're as fun or more fun than the official ones.

Out of the 5000 custom songs over half of them are better then all the buyme song packs.

Official maps better than fan made. In official map a more notes for song and this maps are harder (i play on expert), you can choose any level for play. And as all offical maps no notes for hand broke moves what love in fun made maps.
Sorry for my bad english, its not my native language.

I can only speak for Believer and its expert+ map considering this is the only Imagine Dragons custom song that I've played, and I can tell you that the DLC is much, much better, but it might be a bit bias considering the custom song is too easy. I haven't got the time to play all the DLC songs yet but so far the ones I've played I really enjoyed the maps.

Pretty sure that is the base game + both DLC packs.

Highlighted correct answers for ease of use. Don't expect anyone who paid to tell you the free version is better, they are still trying to convince themselves it was worth it. ^_^

You say that but I haven't installed mods since forever. Don't try to put words in peoples mouth, it doesn't work.

I've been playing rhythm games for 20+ years, and I can say that yes, sometimes custom songs are better, but in this case it's not. It's very simple: You like very simple up and down patterns for Believer: play the custom song. You like variation in patterns and whatnot? Play the DLC.
