Re: Do you think DDR is failing?

CyricZ's FAQS on GameFAQS Use this for the songs on US DDR games.

SuperNOVA didn't wreck everything, necessarily. I enjoy the songs pretty well for SuperNOVA for the PS2. Arcade version was a bit too hard to figure out how to navigate effectively to see the songs in 60 seconds or so. SuperNOVA 2 turned all the songs into a mish-mash of covers and ****. What I'd like to see is more songs from the arcade versions on the PS2 home versions. Songs like Maximum Overdrive, WWW*.Blonde Girl(Momo Mix), Witch Doctor(hey, it's fun, leave me alone), and R3. The fun songs with the original steps.

Re: Do you think DDR is failing?

I pretty much agree with everyone here. DDR's new hard songs have ridiculous jumps that I can barely do with the controller. Though I did pass NGO Oni with a C the other day, it seems like it would be humanly impossible to full combo it, not because of the crazy final stream, but the crazy jumps. I can't even do two of the crazy jumps, yet alone up to 10 of them in a row within 5 seconds.

I wish they would make more songs like the older MAXes, and Paranoia Survivor Max and stuff...

Re: Do you think DDR is failing?

DDR's songs, well the new ones, I agree that they are hard to step, even if you're using a controller. I find that games that start to become hard beyond reason or begin a series of hard games tend to be doomed in the future.

Re: Do you think DDR is failing?

DDR is just trying to gain popularity back by making it challenging for once, but DDR still sucks. PIU has good music and steps to go with it, yet extremely hard so DDR just fails

I really didn't like Supernova.

Re: Do you think DDR is failing?

I've never had a problem with (most of) the steps for DDR, I think most people here are being too picky and have extremely high standards.

I do agree however that DDR needs to find enough attention that will make people eagerly waiting for the next installment.

To be honest, I think the right way to go is to re-format the interface of DDR, into something like what IIDX has. I think that the overall graphics presentation of a game adds alot of appeal to players, despite if they think the charts aren't great.

Same here. I think that many people wants the stepcharts to actually go with the music, just like ITG.

Konami already has Beatmania for that. I believe that Konami is trying to make the stepcharts in some kind of sense where you can actually attempt to dance while playing. I don't get how these charts work with that though.

Re: Do you think DDR is failing?

In The Groove definitely is a step up from DDR. But now there is one major program that defeats all dance simulation games. Stepmania. Get your own metal dance pad, get yuorself a nice S-Video cord and big TV. You'll be making your own songs and jammin for hours. As soon as I get my metal dance pad and labtop and hook it up to the kick ass wide screen TV in my colleges big gameroom, it's party time, tournament time, etc But occasionally I'll still go play DDR or ITG once in a while. I'm just wondering why I've been playing for two years and the only 10's I can pass are Sakura and Bag...

Re: Do you think DDR is failing?

The reason why DDR is falling in popularity is very simple :


People now think that mostly everybody that play DDR is GAY, EMO or ***

Re: Do you think DDR is failing?

I played Chaos for the first time today. All I have to say is, all the stops are put in the wrong place, they don't go with the music.

Re: Do you think DDR is failing?

Well, obviously you haven't played SuperNova 2. Yeah, it has a ton of american bull**** songs, but it has like 8 10's. And if it's really that big of a deal, buy it on the Japanese PS2. Yeah, ITG kicks ass.

But all of those 10's have really crappy stepcharts. I still don't know how you can "dance" to those kind of stepcharts.
