Rhythm gamers Vs. FPS gamers.

Re: Rhythm gamers Vs. FPS gamers.

right... thats why we should start there own haters board. for all the haters in ffr (which is almost all of the people) to go hate to eachother. cause to me thats whats happening in this section of the forum...

now this dudes the real ****...... DOWN WITH THE HATERS

...ok.

Also--I thought of another thing. Someone who uses the same skill in both games might be able to give a better judgment of what's easier. Here's another example that I can think of:

A person playing on a DDR/ITG machine not only has to time their coordination with the rhythm of their steps, but they have to be able to hold a consistent flow during the entire song to not fail.

Likewise, a person playing a FPS game on a high difficulty where they aren't allowed many mistakes has to not only be able to be accurate with their gun, but also to time themselves so they don't recklessly run into enemies.

Which goes back to our initial question--which is harder? A person playing a DDR song that they can pass the song one out of every two times because of physical stamina? Or a person who's playing a FPS shooter and can only beat their level one out of every two times because of mental fatigue?

It all pretty much goes back to saying that those who are indifferent will give you the better result.

EDIT:

Halo, not being exposed to either doesn't really mean one will inherently be easier to elucidate as a more/less difficult genre. Someone might just suck at FPS. Others might suck at rhythm. Either way, I think you'd need to talk to someone who was top of their game at BOTH if you wanted a more well-rounded opinion in terms of what is more difficult (difficulty being, say, time taken to achieve, focus required, practice needed, mental load, etc). And you'd prob have to ask a lot of people.

In the end it just comes down to personal preference and personal skillsets in determining which genre is more difficult for that person. I think there may be a lot of bias because the learning curves are DEFINITELY different.

I never really thought about it this way. Wouldn't someone who's at the top of their game claim indifference to both things though?
